    Classic: seven minutes of Horatio Caine’s pre-titles one-liners from CSI: Miami:

    On a similar theme, it was good to see Wooden Charlie getting some proper dramatic scenes in the All-New Revamped Casualty at the weekend. It’s fascinating to see what a difference a proper script can make…

    They showed a trailer for Disney’s big Christmas film, Enchanted, before Harry Potter yesterday. I’m actually rather looking forward to this…

    Incidentally, the cinema here in Sainte-Adèle shows three trailers before its films, and no adverts. Which is a refreshing change.

    I’d have chosen something else for 42 (any guesses?), and I’m convinced The Matrix would be better for The One. But hey. Here’s a list of the hundred numbers and their films.

  4. Québec Update, Part the Second

    May 19, 2007 by dafyd

    The Canadian High Commission updated its website today (or yesterday, but I’m pretty certain it was today). Previously, as I said on Thursday, there was no indication of how long one should wait for a work permit application, just a vague “most are dealt with in three weeks” kind of statistic.

    Now, as well as changing the yellow background to white and tidying up a little (just a little – it’s now slightly easier to find what you’re looking for), they’ve added this little gem: “the average processing time for a fully completed, standard application is approximately 4 to 6 weeks.” So, double what it was four weeks ago, when I submitted my application.

  5. Web 2.0 gone bonkers

    May 2, 2007 by dafyd

    Here’s a bizarre little YouTube video for you… Kate Monster and Trekkie Monster (from Avenue Q) singing Popular (from Wicked).

    YouTube never ceases to amaze. As does Facebook, where I recently discovered (/was discovered by) some friends from primary school who I haven’t seen for nigh on fifteen years.

    Pretty fluffy bunnies

    Digg, on the other hand, seems to be going to hell in a handbag handbasket. All this fuss over a few numbers. What does it matter what it means? ;-)

  6. Oooh

    I’m getting even more excited by this international trailer for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix:

    700-odd pages in two-and-a-half hours must be quite a challenge – but this looks awesome!

    I’m in the middle of an exchange of emails with a “Microsoft EMEA Technical Support Clerk” (a tech support guy – of which more later), so here’s a Simpson’s video.

    *I think you need to click it to start it. Or maybe not. I don’t know how these computer things work.

    Looks like they’re getting funny again. Bodes well for the movie.

    I’d love to see the Cybermen who say “ni”.

    And I promise I will write something about Spamalot, ‘cos it was awesome. Eventually. Scout’s honour.
