The sound of Inception
Inception is one of the best movies I’ve seen. Every aspect of the film is near-perfect, especially the ultra-loud and dramatic instrumental theme repeated throughout the film. The theme was like nothing I’d ever heard before, but was somehow hauntingly familiar. Like somewhere deep in my sub-conscious I knew it had meaning, but just couldn’t [...]
Politically incorrect retro ads
This is the first day of a long overdue holiday and what better way to spend a lazy Saturday morning than to trawl the web in search of hilarious, utterly non-pc (and some even downright disturbing) retro magazine advertisements. My, how times have changed. (Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in the following ads aren’t [...]

The Ted Dekker challenge
I’ve just finished yet another Ted Dekker book. In two words… pure awesomeness. Without any exaggeration – I wholeheartedly believe that Ted Dekker is one of the best writers currently on the planet – and it just so happens that he is a Christian. Naysayers.. don’t stop reading this post just yet… Many of you [...]
Mary Poppins. Hide your children
I’ve never seen Mary Poppins in its entirety. Parts of it have always given me the creeps. Perhaps it’s is because of the not so subtle (down right scary) imagery hidden throughout the movie. Don’t be deceived by it’s cute Disney musical facade with the ever so innocent Mary (fresh from singing in the Swiss [...]

The image to the left is a digitally enhanced photo of Filipa Hamilton (real-life on the right), A former Ralph Lauren model who has recently been fired because she is ‘too fat’. I pulled the following from a [...]
