Youtube- Rhod Gilbert

Continuing my stand-up comedy (mild) mania. This bit is is from Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow in Edinburgh, with Rhod Gilbert as one of the stand-up guests. Although I think this one is classified as a gag, the otherwise narrated observational comedy by some of the comedians has had me literally laughing out loud.

The Catcher in the Rye

I’m a couple of years late in reading this I suppose, but better late than never. This book killed me, to say the least. I have to completely agree here with my friend’s reaction to the book. Personally the honesty of the thoughts in the book, almost makes me not feel alone with my thoughts. I’d recommend it to anyone.

BBC 1995 documentary- The career and life of Senna

I seem to be on a roll tumbling across wonderful things about people’s passions and their views of life to eventually learn of their passing. Sometimes knowing a story doesn’t quite complete the chance to be moved until you watch the emotions of another person, who are closely affected by it, commemorating their life. This was one of the saddest moving documentaries I’ve seen in recent times. P.S. This might be viewable only in the UK.

Douglas Adams: Parrots the Universe and Everything

This was my first discovery of his talks and it was fantastic. I’m glad not to have missed this.

Michael McIntyre- Live & Laughing

This is such a fresh side to standup comedy. His material is around simple everyday things with an uncanny comical side that you know very well to be true; and his ‘Man-drawer’ bit totally had me cracking cause it’s like what my father does with things around the house.

Delicious Library 2

A very cool, intelligent app for anyone who loves to catalogue the movies, books, music they own/see among other things like their games, software etc. This will make any Mac owner want one.

Slumdog Millionaire - Trailer

Quite looking forward to watching this movie. Also since it is directed by Danny Boyle of Trainspotting.

The rampaging elephant

As long as public anger is random and unfocused, nothing will change.- Another of Vir Sanghvi’s views quite well put.

Is there such a thing as pure genius?

If you liked Blink, you’d probably like this one too- Outliers by Malcom Gladwell, at least from what i can make of it from the extract.

Waking Life (2001)

When you’re preoccupied with dreams and reality, this might be a movie you might want to consider. It’s deep, the script and the direction go well in hand and has more of an effect due to the animation. I strongly recommend it to anyone who love movies that make you think even after the movie has ended.
