The Descent was just great, and you should see it as soon as possible.
It’s a proper schlock-horror genre movie, and all the better for it. A group of female friends, with various hidden grudges and issues, go exploring an uncharted cave. You can write the rest of the plot for yourself. There’s none of the [...]
Warren Ellis finds the best stuff: London Will Fucking Twat You In a Minute, Son”
Both terrorists and well-wishers hit the brick wall of Londoners’ snarkiness.
Awesome long exposure photographs some people took while waving 4th of July sparklers around.
A party across the street from me has been alternately playing “Brown Eyed Girl” and “Losing My Religion” continuously for the last 45 minutes.
Something Must Be Done! ™
Things take a turn for the serious.
I was on the train to Guildford when the bombings started, so didn’t really know anything about it until people started slacking off and reading websites at work.
It was a hugely surreal feeling to know that this was happening, but not really being able to do anything. After checking [...]
So, London has been awarded the 2012 Olympic games…
Let the French-baiting commence!
A 15-year-old sleepwalker was found curled up asleep on the arm of a 130-foot-high crane in South East London. Sounds like there’s a budding career in ‘extreme’ tightrope walking for her if nothing else.
Sadly, the first thing that sprang into my head after reading this was ‘Sleepwalker’, an old Amiga game released for Comic Relief [...]
A gruesomely hypnotic wonky ragdoll simulation, with a human model falling endlessly through a random field of bubbles.
Beijing has just seen the opening of the first ever officially licensed clinic for treating Internet addiction. The majority of the patients are suffering from addiction to MMOGs and are between the ages of 14 and 24.
“All the children here have left school because they are playing games or in chat rooms everyday,” says the [...]
Caffeinated beer! Genius! It’s what Vodka-and-Red-Bull wants to be when it grows up.
(This is apparently pushing all kinds of geek buttons. BoingBoing is keeping a list of user-submitted caffeine beers)
An example of why you shouldn’t have the TV left on a random channel in the background while using the computer. I’m getting more and more distressed while listening to some docu-soap-type thing about Britains’ car driving habits.
It seemed to be mostly the usual road rage and “I’m the greatest driver ever” type stuff. [...]
Tokyo police neither confirm nor deny possible Weekend at Bernie’s-related hijinks.
TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) — A young mother found at the scene of a car crash near Tokyo in which her husband and infant son were killed had been dead for at least a day before the accident happened, police were quoted as saying on Sunday.

The centre of London is, uh, somewhat packed today. Let’s see, we have:
Live8
Pride March
Cricket test
Wimbledon ladies’ singles final
The police are saying that there are around 500,000 to 750,000 extra people in London today. It’s almost impossible to move anywhere just north of the river.
I wandered around Hyde park for a while earlier, but couldn’t really [...]
