Randomly watching old HD files from the BMW Films that I downloaded years ago. Wonder if they’ll ever re-release these shorts on Bluray. The current DVD isn’t even anamorphic widescreen :(

This is John Woo’s entry, “Hostage”. I’m also a big fan of Joe Carnahan’s “Ticker”, and Guy Ritchie’s “Star”—all are available on Youtube.

Michael Moore “Interviewed” by Sean Hannity:

Say what you will about his films, but anyone who doubts that Michael Moore knows what he’s talking about should watch this interview. It sickens me that some people think that Hannity is actually a legitimate journalist.

Microsoft Research demoes five multitouch mice

- This seems like the logical evolution of input devices. Now that we’re getting used to multitouch devices in the mobile space, and we have the capability in many laptops, there has to be some way to get it into desktops. Putting it in the device that you’re already touching most of the time seems to make sense.
