Mmm.. Stratford will always remind me of Slings and Arrows. Absolutely great series (doesn't hurt one bit that Rachel McAdams is in Season 1!), and worth watching instead of anything else you downloaded/your once a week series...

Download?.. here (I have season 3 when you're ready!). Don't know how to download torrents? Look here.

btw, wtf is up with Stratford and their under 18?? Why more expensive than 16-30? (29).

UPDATE: oh wait... it's "savings".

Web Gallery of Art

So, looking for a place to compare/research cubism... and although this has no touch with cubist art, I thought it should be shared cuz it's fucking amazing.

"The Web Gallery of Art is a virtual museum and a searchable database of European painting and sculpture of the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassicism, Romanticism and Realism periods (1100-1850), currently containing over 22.600 reproductions. Picture commentaries, artist biographies are available. Guided tours, period music, catalogue, free postcard and other services are provided."



The best part, I find, is their dual-window mode, where you can view two pieces of art at the same time, often with an extensive critique, and sometimes with a music accompaniment!



If you click on the pictures there are full screen reproductions>... obviously not sufficient, but something to feel/learn off.



Ghosterbusters 3?

The new installment, news of which appeared first in industry reports in 2008, will be penned by Gene Stupinksy and Lee Eisenberg, best known as the executive producers of TV's The Office.

...

'"Let's revisit the old characters briefly and happily and have them there as family but let's pass it on to a new generation," he said, adding that he could envision actresses such as Alyssa Milano and Eliza Dushku as part of the new film."'

Really?

Nah...

No...

yeah?

Really?

I would love to believe this has something more to do with other than Dan pushing his wine ungracefully.



Gawd, love Ghostbusters 1 and, meh, 2, and The Blues Brothers, but hopefully Dan has as little to do with Ghostbusters 3 as it sounds like. mmm... Bill Murray.
