A direct marketing network for Twitter. Pretty darned cool as a concept, but I’m really not convinced on the reach and relevancy for advertisers, or income for twitterers. I’m honestly amazed Twitter…

I liked "After Hours" (movie) →
Wickedly kooky. This absurdist escapade around Spring Street, NYC, 1984, is quite a novel barrel of laughs from Scorsese. =)

I liked "American Gangster" (movie) →
This is a satisfyingly good embellished biopic presented as a shabby cop flick. It lacks an edge, but 1970’s NY comes across well as gritty and cool. =)
I wasn't impressed by "A History of Violence" ... →
Not what I expected. Very Cronenberg. A relaxed thriller, a little too slick, but good. Less is more when it comes to the ‘violence’ (as in Eastern Promises). =|
I liked "Basquiat" (movie) →
This was enjoyably unpretentious. Refreshing to see this kid breach the early 80’s NYC art scene. Inevitably it was corrupting. (Watch it with Factory Girl!) =)
I hated "Adaptation" (movie) →
Trying too hard to be real. I grew bored with the tedious screenwriter’s life and gave up after 20 mins. I should give it another chance, everyoneelse was fine. =(

I loved "300" (movie) →
Lush brutal ardour. Deeply irrelevant, fantastical, overly graphic, and yet stirring. Pecs, blood, breasts — and wheat fields. Great credits animation. =D
