"Blinded by inconsolable rage"

Quick, watch the new Bond trailer before it disappears:

Quantum of Solace - teaser trailer


Once it's inevitably pulled off Youtube, the trailer is being shown on AOL (in the US) and MSN (everywhere else). It'll also be screened ahead of Will Smith's anti-superhero movie Hancock in proper cinemas.

The film itself is out in the UK on 31st October. Can't wait.

PS: Someone has also put the raw Youtube file on Yousendit.com. I have no idea how you might watch it once it's downloaded, though.

New video: Ting Tings

Depending on how you calculate it, this is either the third or the fifth single from The Ting Tings. It's that one from the iTunes ad and, presumbaly because of the massive bundle of Apple cash now stuffed under their matresses, the band have spent more than £3.50 on the video.

Question: If you were the director, how tempted would you have been to do that triangle thing over Katie's mimsy?

New video: Estelle

Rating 3/5 on the good-o-meter, here is Estelle's new single No Substitute Love. I like how she acknowledges that the verse is completely stolen from George Michael's Faith (no, really) by completely stealing the video for George Michael's Faith, too.

Did I say creatively bankrupt?

No, I did not.

Question: Can you spot the product placement in this video?

Funny, it's not how I remember it from school:

Oooh, oooh, oooh!!

Two of the best television moments of the last ten years:

1) Joss Whedon's musical episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer
[here is a terrible clip on Youtube (youtube)]

2) Nathan Fillion's fantastically grumpy performance as Captain Malcolm Reynolds in Joss Whedon's cruelly cancelled sci-fi western, Firefly
[here is an equally terrible clip on Youtube (youtube)]

So, what if Joss Whedon wrote a three-part musical about a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to. And cast Nathan Fillion in it. Alongside the guy that used to play Doogie Howser.

It would be fucking amazing, that's what.

(Oh, and here's the trailer)
