Cracker Bag

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

I found this, not another short movie, that touched me in a way; Cracker Bag by Glendyn Ivin.

Eddie spends her pocket money obsessively hoarding fireworks and carefully planning for cracker night. When it finally it arrives, Eddie and her family head to the local football oval. In the frosty air Eddie lights the fuse of her first cracker and experiences a pivotal moment, one of the seemingly small experiences of childhood, that affects us for the rest of our lives.

Set in the 1980s, Cracker Bag is a gentle suburban observation which subtly reflects a disenchanting prelude to the coming of age.

Winner of the Palme D’Or – Short Film Cannes Film Festival 2003

Directed by Glendyn Ivin, Produced by Jane Liscombe, Director of Photography Greig Fraser, Edited by JAck Hutchings

Check also Exitfilms, the production company who made this happen.

Beautiful moment…

Ctrl.Alt.Shift : 1000 Voices

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

Ctrl.Alt.Shift is a movement for a new generation fighting social and global injustice. These films were made by members of the community to raise awareness of issues they care about.

Writer and Director: Tim Travers Hawkins
Mentor: Chris Harding (Shynola)
Music: Jesca Hoop
Voice of Bureaucrat: Adam Buxton

A verbose and politically correct bureaucrat gives a lecture to a group of teenagers on the merits of the UK’s efficient and humane asylum system, whilst meanwhile, in the same building, detainees, imprisoned indefinitely in different ‘Removal Centres’ across the UK, leave messages in vain on an abandoned telephone answering machine in the ministry basement. Their messages detail the horror of the life that they have escaped due to conflict.

Check there website for more.

We like it.

Pee Without Noise Stool

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

I found this bizarre item on Japan Trend Shop.  If you really want to pee without noise well this is the solution I guess.

Introducing you the Pee Without Noise Stool.

The Pee Without Noise Stool is one of those ideas that’s so cool we’re embarrassed we didn’t think of it before. We’ve all been there: it’s 2am in a sleeping house, your mother-in-law is right behind you in line for the potty, or you don’t want to broadcast the fact that you downed six glasses of beer over the course of your date.

As great as it is to be able to pee standing up, there are some situations where you just want to do your business discreetly, and having the outlet several feet above the bowl makes it hard to keep the volume down.

You could sit, but not only is that unbecoming a man, you also risk splashing the rim. Enter the Pee Without Noise stool. Kneeling on its soft cushions positions you at the exact right height to land your stream in the bowl at a much-reduced velocity and volume level. This simple, elegant tool could save your dignity, your relationship, or even your life (if there’s a robber in the house but you just have to go)!

When I discovered this I first toughed it was a joke.  But you can order this and choose from polyurethane DX or wood Eco models.
