London photo of the day: putting lipstick on Christmas
Yet another Christmas window at fancy num-nums store Fortnum and Mason…
Month: December 2011

Does your commute take you through a postapocalyptic runaway-greenhouse landscape of hellish skies and noxious gases?
Hugo (review)
Martin Scorsese made a 3D kids’ movie that’s about movies. That’s about the love of movies. And it’s steampunky and rollicking and features a cool girl character, too. How is it possible that I won’t love this movie?
Doctor Who thing of the day: David Tennant in places he shouldn’t be!
I doubt there are in fact any places where the Doctor shouldn’t be. It’s pretty much his job to be wherever the hell he wants to be, sticking his nose into other people’s business, and getting into the trouble of his choice.
Wreckers (trailer)
Dark and creepy, and stars Benedict Cumberbatch. Pretty much all I need to know.
question of the day: Famous creative types pushing back against corporate greed: hot new trend or momentary pissing into the wind?
