It has come to my attention today that everyone hates Stephen Dorff.
What is up with that?
He has many fine films to his name, including Blade (actually, I didn’t like Blade all that much) and, er, that Britney Spears video (hey, it was emotional! She tried to kill herself in the bath! Guys!). Ok, actually he [...]
Kate super loved Where The Wild Things Are, and now that it’s out on DVD and BluRay she has a good reason to gush about it and berate you for not feeling the same way.
Kate goes to see a film and it offends her innate feminist instincts, which she then reveals at great length.

Origami tea bags – Beautiful origami green berry tea bags by Natalia Ponomareva. Just a concept for now.
BookBook – A MacBook cover that looks like an old book from TwelveSouth. Lush, but it’ll set you back $80.
Amazing chairs [...]
Watch this trailer for upcoming indie film Machotaildrop. You’ll find yourself none-the-wiser about the plot, other than that it’s some kind of Pinocchio and Alice In Wonderland inspired skateboard film.
