little bits of everything

Icy spiderweb on birdbox Originally uploaded by paulmorriss . After shooting two films of close-up pictures the novelty was wearing off, but after scanning them in I think they look good on the screen. Especially on a black background, if I can figure out how to do that.

I saw Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy recently. I thought it was really good. I'm sure it didn't quite follow the book, but as it was so long since I read the book I couldn't tell all of the bits that were new. Pure fans probably hate it, but I'd recommend it to half-hearted fans. It's quite quirky, so I wouldn't recommend it to people without a strange sense of humour. I was very restrained and didn't recite all the famous lines as they came up, apart from at one point. The old TV Marvin makes a cameo appearance which was a nice touch.
