A couple of years ago I became obsessed by that lil' indie flick - you may have heard of it - Juno. Y'know the one with the pregnant teen and the sweater vests and the much-lauded soundtrack? Well, anyway, through some related googling around that time I came across the script for Peacock.

*spoiler alert*

I read the leaked script online a long time ago now so I'm a little fuzzy on the details but essentially it's about this very 'average' dude (played by dollface Cillian Murphy) who, it turns out is not such an average dude afterall. A train crashes into his house one day and the ensuing drama upends the very meticulously scheduled double life he leads. As himself, and his wife.

Sounds cool right? Well it's finally gone from 'in production' to 'completed' and I for one am very excited. (oh and did i mention it stars a certain Academy-Award nominated actress from Canada?)

Parenthood Is...

Oooh hurray, Lauren Graham is back. And not just her neither. You may also recognise Mae Whitman from In Treatment, and Dax Shephard of Punk'd fame, among others.

As a worryingly avid Gilmore Girls fan I couldn't be more excited.

Worth1000.com is a 'creative contest community', the most competitive on the web - or so they say. Recently they hosted a contest for Daybreakers, yknow that vampire movie with yer man where vamps are king and humans are farmed for blood. The competition 'if vampires ruled' was to come up with images of how the world would be if nearly everyone on earth had fangs. They range from the witty to the downright freakish, these are a few of my faves.

Ok, ok so there's not enough grit and the minister's on holidays and the bus service is a shambles and half the population of the country have broken a bone... but c'mon. How could anyone not love this weather? This crazy cold spell gives us all a legit reason to skip school/work/college/hospital rotation, it gives grumpy old people something else to moan about besides the recession, it gives me an excuse to not ever take off my beautiful rubber soled ugg snow boots... What's not to like? plus... SNOWMEN! The only thing that bums me out is the thought of the thaw.
