INTERNET OF INTEREST #17

Monday 27 August 2007
Some more choice selections of entertainment-related news/trivia from the world wide web:

1. Owen Wilson Suicide Bid: very sad news that took me by surprise, but it appears the popular US comic actor isn't as care-free and happy as his movie performances would have you believe...

2. Full Focus Cameras: The Wachowski Brothers are pushing film technology again with their upcoming film Speed Racer, with a new camera system that can have the foreground and background in focus at the same time (just like a comic strip).

3. Kevin Smith in space and tights: Filmmaker Kevin Smith (Clerks II) is set to direct an episode of Battlestar Galactica in its final season and write-direct an episode of Heroes spin-off Origins...

4. Top 10 Best Cinematic Showdowns: ooh, I loves me a Top 10 list...

5. Star Wars animations: have you always wanted to watch the Original Trilogy of Star Wars movies in simple animated .gif format? The wait is over!

6. 13 Terrible Accents In Films: from Keanu Reeves to Sean Connery, the worst of the worst is here...

So there you have it. All worth a little click, I feel...

Incidentally, I started a new DMD poll started yesterday about the Best British Horror films, inspired by the great British Film Forever documentary over the weekend. Please take the time to vote (it only takes 2 seconds... your day isn't that hectic is it?)

I have also installed a subscription button in the sidebar, courtesy of FeedBlitz, which allows you to get automated e-mail updates whenever I post something on DMD. Feel free to subscribe!
