Saw Lucy tonight. Have to say it started interesting but then got predictable and thin-plot rather quickly. Most of the actors in it really have very little to do, and while the effects were good, they seemed in many ways stolen or inspired strongly by The Matrix. And it may have been hard to avoid having Scarlett J. do a rehash of her Black Widow character in the fight scenes, so they opted for ‘monologuing‘ largely instead. And, the ending is nearly identical to The Lawnmower Man, albeit without the megalomaniac part. Meh.

8,000 Glowing Balloons Recreate the Berlin Wall

As Germany celebrates this, an amazing art installation is in Berlin. Wish I could get there to see it – i’ve been there twice, once in 1987 (before it fell) and once in 1992 (right after). Very strange on the second visit how it had immediately changed and the desolation at the center of the city between the two sectors – i’m sure much, much more has changed since …. Such a cool city – can’t wait to go back again….!

Enjoy and congrats, Germany.

Back in Monorail campaign days a**holios used to steal our signs all the time – a sad commentary on our society – but we never had gnomes (campaigning for us or stolen)….? I wonder if these were Winklebottom’s 🙂

400 gnomes disappeared in Austria, and it’s causing a political scandal

….with a dash of Yellow Submarine thrown in! Very cool project and notable also because of the way the project only exists until they knock the building down …
