The Watchmen stunt on the Thames went ahead last night.
Word got out over blogs, twitter etc. that a series of images would appear above the river. It didn't disappoint!
I'm not a comic book fan but I'll be off to see this at the IMAX - reviews are good and it's clearly going to be visually stunning!

The Twitter Generation
So Twitter is pretty much everywhere! Even my gran is asking how she can 'twit' (cue hasty education in Twitter terms to make sure she doesn't start insulting random people by asking them to 'Twit her')
The likes of Stephen Fry and Jonathan Ross have jumped on an already 'Speed Racer' style bandwagon and have added to the attraction of what, as someone pointed out last night, is a very basic form of social media.\
The question is - how has something that basic, letting you comment using no more that 140 characters, caught on? How does the team of 20 or so employees manage the demands? Also, where does it go from here? How do you make money from it? And, more importantly, who the hell does Twitter's PR??!?

Young Victoria
So I saw a preview of The Young Victoria the other day and I have to say - it's a fantastic film.
Standing ovation from audience et al! It's a while since I've seen a 'love story' that isn't tinged with sappy, OTT declarations of undying love.
The English Patient was probably the last film to focus so intensely on love and not suffer for it.
Emily Blunt is perfect casting as Victoria - portraying fantastically the stifled existence Victoria lived in her youth and also the thrill of first (and ultimately last) love.
Definitely recommend! 10/10 (and that's a very, very rare rating)
