Interesting ad for the film Limitless:

Please submit some agency cards so that they have a few that didn’t come from Iris.
And for anyone looking for something intelligent on which to waste their time, normally you’d be in exactly the wrong place, but today you can check out this excellent blog post from Roger Ebert on listening to music.
The Yoga Farmer looks really like John Hegarty.
Love the selection of title sequences, a bunch were made by RGA in their hay day.
If anyone has had time to go through all Ben’s weekend treats, and is still gagging for more, why not check out the new Red Plaques website, set up by English Heritage.

Carol Smilie’s quote is a bit of a joke, and not just because she says ‘immortalised forever’.
The video hack is a viral for Limitless. I so wanted it to be real.
Did you read the bit where I said it was an ad for Limitless?
Best SFTW ever.
nice music post. “To be part of a symphony orchestra must provide a mighty emotion, a great elevation. I imagine musicians must certainly lose track of time”. its like being fucking high. they should try music therapy shit with (drug) addicts because of this. bet it works a charm.
I think Mary has a point actually. Can I take it to Dragon’s Den?
oh my god, jim. you even ask? what a nice guy you are. im used to stealing. they say its genius. fools.
if you take it anywhere, i want to join. how about that.
Unbelievable. Carol Smillie really believes she has done “great things”.
My friends and I once caught another mate wanking off to Carol Smilie on a re-run of Changing Rooms. One of the most hilarious/disturbing things ever.
I saw this title sequence on your site a while ago and absolutely loved it.

Then I saw Kanye West’s video directed by Hype Williams and seeing exactly the same title sequence assumed that they must have worked with Gaspar No√©. But no. They just ripped it off. I know nothing is original but I think that as they are so similar Gaspar deserves some recognition.
