Monday notes

[yendi]

1. This weekend, I caught The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (during its one-week engagement at the Landmark Kendall Square). I adored it. It's the story of Steve Wiebe's pursuit of the Donkey Kong world record, a record that has stood for decades and been held by a guy name Billy Mitchell. Highly recommended for any fan of old-school games.

2. Owen Wilson is "dehydrated." Just like Lindsay Lohan used to get "exhausted."

3. Tim Bray on Pantone's missed opportunity.

4. AAAAAAAAA! (Ganked from tnh over at Making Light).

5. The horror film you've been waiting for: Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre. Starring original Leatherface Gunnar Hansen. I am so there when this makes its US debut.

6. The horror film I've not been waiting for. That's all I feel a need to say about that one.

7. The US horror film that I really am excited about. Yes, I already joined the "Hatchet Army." :-)

8. Brett Ratner's Notes for his Film Version of The Road by Cormac McCarthy.

9. Rumors of the new iPods (likely due on Sept 5)! As always, take 'em with a grain of salt.

10. Finally, Heroes hits DVD tomorrow. Yatta!
