red pill or blue pill?

Illness Update: Thanks to everyone who persuaded me to go see the Doctor. Have penicillin, will get better. The soup and ice-cream diet over the weekend also helped, as did a heavy dose of musicals. Should be back to normal in another day or two.

Enter the Animatrix: DVD out today, so I'm all caught up on these. All sorts of interesting stuff in there - backstory (both distant and recent) and just adding more depth to the world. Also looked at the comics on the main Matrix website over the weekend which another way of expanding the universe. Wah! Need Revolutions now!

Fast cars: Got pointed the other day in the direction of this neat website. Yes it's all a gratuitous promotion for BMW's cars - but with style. It's a series of short films - mostly car-chasey - with big name directors and stars. Haven't had the chance to watch all of them yet, but my fave thus far is the season 1 'Star' - featuring Madonna getting thrown around the back of (and then out of) the car, plus neat Blues Brothers reference. Be warned: Large downloads.

You feeling better = me happier.

I think we need to add The Animatrix to the list of things to watch during Punt00bage - perhaps after The Matrix?

They play those BMW films as commercials here - they don't do that over there?

We sure can do. That seems to be a fair pile of DVDs stacking up for the Punt00bage watch list...

Nope, we don't get those films as ads over here - do you actually have the full 5-minute films or just excerpts?

Oh well - we need to do something else occasionally, right? ;)

They just play excerpts of the films, with a message to go to the website to see the full version. No idea if this makes people want to buy BMWs more or not...
