The Ex-Communicator

Yet another list post. I just can't resist them. Normbogs list of 50 best movies ever from his poll of the same. I've seen, and I hugely like, all of these, though I think Shawshank is over-rated (despite Tim Robbin, whom, rrrr)

My top ten films? hmmm difficult

Get Carter
Alien
Blade Runner
Pulp Fiction
The Big Sleep
The Big Lebowski
Roshomon
Memento
LA Confidential
Spirited Away

This is hopless, I can't get a top ten at all. These will do.

A few content-dense links, on controversial issues, for those who may be interested.

'I'm not sorry'. A web site where women share their experiences of abortion. Warning: pro-choice. The guest book, as you may expect, has some choice rubbish in it. So bad that I suspect people on both sides of the debate of furthering their cause by pretending to be particularly idiotic straw men on the other side (if you see what I mean).

pro and anti top-up-fees posts from crooked timber.

Superb post and commentary on male attitudes to rape (non-offensive) here. Which I read, and I think commented on, some time ago, but which is now a finalist for a blog award.

And And another post by the same guy about attitudes to women in classical literature.

My mate and fellow B7 fan, Guy, whom some of my readers will have met at the Redemption convention last year, has posted his first livejournal entry just now. It is on viewing the Professionals with modern eyes.
