- Newsmap - it's not new, but it is classic and brilliantly executed and I see no reason why I shouldn't link to it again... I wonder whether something like this could be done with BBC News feeds through the Backstage project, I wonder what the size could represent...
- Awesome interview with a guy who works at Gosh comics in Bloomsbury It's the best comic shop in London, even though it's far from the largest. It's just classier than everywhere else...
- Awesome Daily Show clip featuring Harlan McCraney, Presidential Speechalist Gloriously entertaining, subtle, elegant piece about GW Bush...
- The film US TV networks dare not show The Power of Nightmares (remade as a film) is unlikely to be broadcast on American television because it questions the threat of terrorist attack
- Kerry Bailey voices the thoughts of a thousand dweebie early-thirty-somethings all around the world about Star Wars Episode III I want to see it now if it's good. I want to have seen it already and be putting the whole thing behind me if it's not...

Please stay on-topic, informative and polite. I reserve the right to remove comments for whatever vague capricious reasons seem reasonable at the time.
Fat white guys run all the news and programming networks in the States. So we'll probably never see that film on television here.
Star Wars was great fun!

Re the Gosh! comics interview... "Awesome"? I thought it was such a waste of an opportunity. Dumb questions put to someone who didn't seem to have much to say.

I just like the idea of picking out normal people from around a city to interview - however briefly. I like the fact that they chose someone from a comic shop too.

hmm... yeah, comic books seem to be "in" again. is this going to be continued in that vein? if so, why not just pick anybody off the street without previously knowing where he/she is doing for a living?
ut... sorry, didn't mean to be obnoxious.
