Copenhagenize the planet!

Looks as if we need to be thinking about cycling as an alternative to driving to work. It would do us all some good. First, it would save us on a gas. Second, it would get us fitter. Third, it would get us all on the roads together, talking, chatting and enjoying the world around us so much better than stuck in a car in traffic. Only if I lived closer to work…

Today’s link is to an article about making cycling a means of commuting. It mentions the Copenhagen Cycle Chic website of pretty girls on bikes in Denmark. That’s always awesome.

Movie Criticism

broderic on June 27, 2008

Geez. I just read some really good writing in the form of movie reviews for this weekend’s releases. I mean I was startled by how moved I was from just reading them. Did it make me want to go watch the movies? Hell, yeah, even though one of them was a pan and dismissed the film as another in a long line of bad action flicks.

First up is Manahlo Dargis’s demolition of Wanted, the action flick opening up today. It’s a beautiful takedown. I wish I can write my reviews like that for when I need to pan a film.

Next is Devid Edelstein’s review of Wall-E. Simply amazing. And the movie sounds awesome as well.

Hmm. What to watch this weekend?
