Shine on, you crazy crocheted teddy bear

Have you seen the cinematic triumph which is Shine? It is the movie that launched Geoffrey Rush on an unsuspecting public. It takes a few of those to make up for chewing scenery in a pirate’s outfit, that’s for sure.

Talking stuffed toys.

Hey, it worked for Pixar.

And now, I shall go back to reading Bridget Jones and thinking what a good Twitter feed it would be…

    That may be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen! Watching the father drill his son brought to mind Niccolo Paganini. MIDI-style electronic music has never sounded so good: the animation on the piano was top notch. I’m going to have to watch it several more times for laughs in the morning.
