The Bourne Ultimatum : Matt Damon shines

2007-08-06T14:25:00.000-04:00

A great movie despite excessive action sequence 'camera shake'.

Everyone in the New York City movie theatre seemed to really enjoy the latest Jason Bourne flick. Good plot lines were convincingly portrayed by truly believable acting by a strong ensemble. Matt Damon continues to come across as a tough but sensitive and disturbed ex-CIA covert agent who may be kissing the newly brunette-ed character played by Julia Stiles (pic) in the next movie.

Matt has certainly gone from strength to strength since his Miramax debut as Will Hunting (written by him and Ben Affleck)(see the script).
Being a very nice bloke can't have hurt his career either. Matt and his whole family were very nice to me at a Boston wedding I filmed last year. His Mum is lovely and his brother is good fun too.

New York Times iPhone article: pros and cons

2007-06-29T12:13:00.000-04:00

First, read about the health risks we incur as cell phone users...

Most of the people I talked to don't want an iPhone, well not for now at least. But The guy from the New York Times had one given to him for 2 weeks prior to release....

"Making a call", says NY Times reporter, Christopher Capozziello, "can take six steps: wake it, unlock it, go to Home screen, open Phone program, view speed-dial list, select name".

He points out that the Google Maps module lets you view street maps or aerial photos for an address, driving directions, too. Photos, movies and YouTube videos look spectacular on the bright 3.5-inch very-high-resolution screen, but the browser can’t handle Flash, which deprives you of millions of Web videos.

"Cultists are camping out in front of Apple Stores; bloggers call it the “Jesus phone.” All of this before a single consumer has even touched the thing" says the New York Times article about iPhone

"Some tech experts say the iPhone will be refined after Apple designers get feedback from the first wave of users. The hefty $500 price tag could also drop." says LESLIE CAULEY in USA TODAY

The two-megapixel camera takes good photos, but it can’t capture video.

"The bigger problem is the AT&T network. AT&T’s signal ranked last or second to last in 19 out of 20 major cities. My tests in five states bear this out. If Verizon’s slogan is, “Can you hear me now?” AT&T’s should be, “I’m losing you.” He's amusing this fellow....

You can already buy cheap extras at Ebay iPhone accessories....

Paris Hilton in better shape despite powdered eggs

2007-06-19T06:49:00.000-04:00

Paris's parents have visited her in jail, causing rumours of preferential treatment by breezing past queues of other inmates' relatives.
Mrs. Hilton said Paris felt cold in there and was having trouble sleeping but was getting her appetite back despite chunderous food and plastic cuttlery (and worries that people will mess with her chunderous food)

Statistically, she is getting a raw deal: if Paris does 23 days of her sentence, she will have served about the same amount of time as 4,000 inmates charged with assaults since 2002, as well as more than 1,800 charged with burglary, 2,600 charged with domestic violence and nearly 11,000 charged with drug violations.
The Lynwood Jail serves as LA County’s main Women’s Jail. Women arrested throughout Los Angeles County may be taken or transferred to the Lynwood Jail.

Man ejected for farting in "Perfume" premiere

2006-12-30T13:01:00.000-05:00

After the perfume of perhaps a rotten egg and poo drifted across a packed cinema of celebrities at the premiere of "Perfume" a man was fingered as the farty culprit, and thrown out (to cheers from the likes of Paris Hilton and George Clooney).

Aside from the stinky waft that hung in the air, the audience enjoyed an excellent adaption of the German book (Buy the book on Amazon).

I'm sure the casting director could have found a great Italian actor with a big nose if they looked hard enough, but Dustin Hoffman acted admirably amongst a bunch of Pommy Bastards.

Robert Cenedella

Rini and I were out last night (election night), random pub. New people.
I was admiring the enormous Cenedella painting facing the bar, and the artist (Bob) turned out to be on the next bar stool.

Provocative work. He's exhibiting in Berlin at the moment.
