Hey there Girls, Boys and Others. Adaptation was one of the runners-up for the Golden Berlin Bear prize over at the Berlin Film Festival. In This World took out the big one. Sam Rockwell won Best Actor for his star turn in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. More info.

Still in Berlin, 'member that media conference attended by Charlie, Spike and Nic? Here it is. It should automatically set itself to run on your computer, but if not you can fix it up manually with a few clicks. You gotta sit through a bunch of preliminary introductory stuff (some of it in Berlinian - either that or I was exceedingly tired when I started watching it) but then you get the good stuff. Needless to add (which I will anyway), I have yet to see the good stuff because I had no time... and even so, my dial-up will probably feed me a series of static images with good audio. Anyhoo, there you go. Many mucho thanks to BCK's good friend Renee, from Admire My Cage.

Man, I am either getting a head cold or I'm allergic to the intensely pongy stuff the neighbours put on their garden today. Chanel No. 1 it ain't.

I have a headache.
