Bunny & the Bull Film Review
Posted by chichard41 | Filed under Events, Film, London, review
In the past week I was invited to a blogger’s screening of this film, I’m always delighted to review films especially when they are on par with the likes of 500 Days of Summer which was my last viewing :D
Bunny & The Bull is one of those odd films where you feel you can relate with it but on a subliminal level. The director Paul King seems to conjure up surreal images in the literal form of ever expanding worlds, set entirely in a flat. Be prepared for The Mighty Boosh feel on the skin, but underneath lies a great heart-warming film with the story of love, disillusionment and some jokes which will leave you cringing for weeks after seeing the film.

Ignite London is coming :D
Posted by chichard41 | Filed under Events, Ignite London, London, Summations, review, video
Ignite is finally coming to London on the 18th November 2009. I’d have loved to have heard about this earlier and give a rapid 5 min lecture on something I love, but it looks like I missed the deadline. Also I have no clue where to start and would probably need moral support, something I’m rather lacking recently. Anyway I am definitely attending.
If you’ve never heard of Ignite here’s their philosophy:
Ignite captures the best of geek culture in a series of five-minute speed presentations on topics ranging from The Best Way to Buy a Car to Hacking Chocolate. Imagine that you’re on stage in front of an audience of hundreds of people, doing a five-minute presentation using a slide deck that auto-forwards every 15 seconds, whether you’re ready or not. What would you do? What would you say? Could you stand the pressure? Every week, find out how some of the smartest minds on the planet dealt with this situation as your host, Brady Forrest, highlights a different talk from Ignites around the world.
The event is being hosted at the wonderful Ginglik, which used to be an old Victorian loo from what I remember when I went to see Aqualung there. I can’t explain any better than the above paragraph and I just hope enough people know this great event about anything and everything is happening. I implore you to come along and have a fantastic night for absolutely free!
Here are a few of my favourite 5 min lectures:
