V for Vendetta

Jeremy Keith has posted an excellent review of the Wachowski Brothers' film V for Vendetta, proving that as well as being a great JavaScript proponent (and an excellent speaker!) he's also thoughtful and literate … of course it helps that I agree wholesale with what he says ;-) but could not match his expressiveness! One thing to add: For me the central character of "V" was defined by his voice and as such it was an excellent performance by Hugo Weaving -- fantastic! (Unlike Jeremy I did see it in the cinema, where it was spectacular, and the audio at my local Odeon brought this to the fore. Some great friends just bought me the DVD for my birthday: many thanks, Jon+Katie!!)

Alien and poor website design

Went to see Alien: The director's cut last night -- excellent movie, stands the test of time very well (I was just 9 years old when it first came out <grin>). Going to our local Odeon always reminds me that their website is an annoying mess of nonstandard IE crap. No functionality at all in DOM1-compliant browsers like Mozilla Firebird (my current fave) and I doubt they've ever hear of web accesibility. Ho hum...
21st Nov: Bloody hell, why did "Alien Resurrection" have to have such a crap ending! It's a pretty good adventure romp up until the Alien womb debacle! Such a shame...
23rd Nov: I thought Dr Fun was dead but I was wrong <grin>!
