Cyber Wars

by Jian Hong Kuo

It’s pretty much an “intro” movie to cyberpunk with a Syndicate Wars type plot. This is fine by me -since Syndicate was what turned me on to cyber-punk in the first place! It’s far too delicate and sublime for cyberpunk though in my opinion, but it’s nice to get some at least half decent cyberpunk movies!

There’s a proper review of it at Cyber-Punk Review

A story about "Ultraviolet (Unrated, Extended Cut)"

Ultraviolet (Unrated, Extended Cut)

It’s a movie based on action comics…

Don’t expect too much. Judge it for it’s within it’s own category. Or do as I and just watch the visuals ;-)

That being said I’d say quite a bit of the visuals were nice and that at least some of the them reminded me a bit of Æon Flux (the animated serie), which is a vibe I’ve been missing now for a while ;-)

Once upon a time

There are many mixtures but all are concentrated Christmas in a cup :-)

Conejo En La Luna [NTSC/REGION 1 & 4 DVD. Import-Latin America]

by Jorge Ramirez Suarez

I guess it should be marked as “worth consuming” even though it was torture to watch it. I suppose it steels you to fight for justice. It was a really nasty film though, the inhumanity makes you sick almost through the whole movie.

A story about "American Graffiti (Collector's Edition)"

American Graffiti (Collector's Edition)

by George Lucas

I guess this is an OK movie.. but damn that “culture” is appalling.

Why it's taking me forever to finish consuming "Orchestra of Bubbles"

Orchestra of Bubbles

by Ellen Allien

This is both really good and addictive music..

I’m afraid I’m completely addicted to nr. 9 : Do Not Break :-)
Goes perfectly with Dune, which I was reading at the time I got this CD. There’s this teched-up Arabian sound to it :)

A story about "Rotten shark"

Rotten shark

by Crazy Icelanders

Another thing some people give to foreigners for kicks when they are looking for something “authentic Icelandic”. It can be worth a taste in the right kind of silly atmosphere but I wouldn’t go looking this one up just to try it!

You can decide to stay away – there is a reason this isn’t eaten any more! Or you can go for it to show that you aren’t afraid of the sharks :-)

Either way I think you can be quite pleased with your decision. It’s quite an acquired taste :-)

The only time Icelanders eat this is as a part of Þorramatur at a “Þorrablót” an old heathen festival held in the month of Þorri but that today consists of Icelanders showing each other that they aren’t disgusted by the stuff their ancestors ate and getting drunk in the process. In fact I’d strongly recommend taking a shot of Brennivín with it to wash it down :-)

Here’s a video of the making of the shark. Yummy!
