Remember The Dance? Join T-Mobile’s Next Event

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Back in January I blogged about T-Mobile’s “flashmob” at Liverpool Street Station. I liked the idea, but was a bit annoyed by the fact that unlike normal flashmobs the main dancers were obviously professional and hired (and most probably payed) to do the dance. I said in that blogpost that I would have loved if they had organized a more typical flashmob so that anyone could have joined in.

Now it seems though T-Mobile might actually be doing that. This Thursday there’s another event, this time at Trafalgar Square. Watch this video for the details:

I’m curious to see what it will be. I’ve got another event at 18:30, but I’m definitely going to try and make it to the beginning of it. Anybody want to join me?

Trailerrific: 9

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Every year there’s that movie that just creeps up on you, completely unexpected. This year for me it’s 9. I read a lot of movie blogs, keeping up to date with all casting rumours and movie news, but I have no idea how I could have not heard more about this movie earlier. I saw the first trailer back in December and I was amazed by how awesome it looked.

9 is written and directed by Shane Acker, a “visionary” director who first made an animated short version of 9. It was so successful (including an Oscar nomination) it spun off into an actual movie. I hate the term “visionary”, but seeing this trailer I think it’s in this case warranted.

Have a look at the trailer:

9 - Release Date: 9 September 2009 (of course, 09-09-09)
