She was overwhelmed with anxiety and asked me to write her a song to help her calm down.’

Entire Oscar Winning Animated Short
‘One of the big surprise winners at the Oscars this year was the animated short film Logorama. However, it won for good reason, because it’s a dark and awesome short film. The entire short (all 16 minutes) has made its way onto Vimeo and can be seen below. This isn’t a leak or a bootleg or anything like that, this is the fully watchable version of the short. Here’s the concept (and also why it’s so damn brilliant): the entire world and everything we see in it is made out of corporate logos and brands. The story follows two Michelin tire guys (as cops) who chase a terrorist Ronald McDonald. You’ll be very glad this won the Oscar after you see this.’

“There are three ways of dealing with time travel in Doctor Who (you might want to print this out for future use.)
1. Look, it’s just a story, time travel is completely impossible, the whole thing’s a farrago of lies, ooh, look at those monsters.
2. Time can only sometimes be rewritten, and the Doctor has a vast and terrible Time Brain that allows him to see when events can be altered and when they are fixed, but for us mere mortals, such insight would turn our brains to soup, ooh, look at those monsters.
3. Ooh, look at those monsters!
I like 3. It’s quicker.”
Steven Moffat
Creative entrepreneurs are driven by a passion to create remarkable things and meaningful relationships.
They come in various types:
‘Our ambition is to create a live visualization of the flood of party political leaflets as they are delivered across the country during an election campaign.’

‘A wise man once said, “French films are… too French.” American audiences often have preconceived notions about foreign films… that they’re boring, nonsensical, and hoity-toity(a technical term, you can google it), but French films in particular may come across as more pretentious than a lifetime subscription to McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern.’

The Daily Mail give the movie one star out of five. And some choice quotes. The headline is just the first of many.
Don’t be fooled by the hype: This crime against cinema is twisted, cynical, and revels in the abuse of childhood
And then the comments start – and the Daily Mail does what it set out to do. People have found something to hate. Just in this case, they seem to have the reviewer, Chris Tookey.
Your moral compass seems a bit broken Chris.
Harry Brown (which I loved) – Older man violently kills teenage thugs. In your words “One of the most important films of the year”
Kick Ass (which I also loved) – Teenagers violently kill older thugs. “Evil.”
A strange moral deviation there, and I also find it creepy that you are worried about a 14 year old character finding a 13 year old character attractive in a story. Were you never a teenager? Though judging by your attitudes towards this group maybe you weren’t.
