Films that I have watched recently: Crash This is a fucking weird movie. Fucking weird. There aren’t too many films that I watch and then don’t have clue what the hell they were about. Dudes with an all consuming fetish I guess. The 6th Day Arnie delivers more one liners. Like a number of Arnie…

brainsluice has lead me to some other discoveries. 1. The Listener has a web site. I was bought up on the Listener, my mum would buy it every week. It is based on a kiwi CMS called Supermodel . 2. This is not related to brainsluice, but it made me think that stuff.co.nz *really* needs…
