Excellent quote
"One should not pursue goals that are easily achieved. One must develop an instinct for what one can just barely achieve through one's greatest efforts."

Mr. Nobody
I watched the most amazing movie the other day. Really. It's pretty much everything I've wanted to do with film! Anyhow, it might not be for everyone, but I thought it was absolutely brilliant. It's called Mr. Nobody, and it stars Jared Leto, Diane Kruger, and Sarah Polly, and was written and directed by Jaco Van Dormael.
Everything was done so perfectly: the acting was great, the cinematography was great, the music choices were great, and above all the writing was great (with a good helping of cobbled up string theory, it had me at the first mention of dimensions).
I won't say too much about the movie, other than that if you liked Amelie, Run Lola Run, Groundhog Day, Benjamin Button, Big Fish, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Frequency, (you get the idea, basically all my favourite movies) then you will love this one!
Here are some user comments from IMDB to sum it up:
"Genius"
"What have I done to deserve this?" (I agree completely)
"Astonishing and profoundly moving!!" yup
"Why are you not watching it RIGHT NOW?" I concur!
"A Wonderful Film - From Start to Finish"
"An experience of a lifetime" to be taken literally and figuratively
"Shaken & Stirred .... the Explosive Cocktail of Life!"
"Everyone should see this brilliant film"
"Wow. Simply wow"
It's on iTunes, so I highly recommend watching what is now my second favourite movie! (right behind A Christmas Story of course!)

2011 is here! I'll drink a cup of kindness for Auld Lang Syne!
canon 60D
I picked up a 60d recently after selling my t2i to my cousin. The main features that drew me to it from the T2i were:
-audio input without automatic gain control, means I can plug in the output of a recording device to use high quality microphones, or plug a video mic directly into it
-articulating screen, very useful for strange angles
-wireless control of flashes, lots of fun getting my flash off the camera for more creative lighting techniques
-nice feel, larger body
-great kit lens, I got the 18-200mm lens with stabilization, an excellent multi-purpose lens
I love the camera, the extra features aren't for everyone, so I still think the t2i is better value for most people.
