HIGH-SPEED AMPHIBIAN CAR

They've gone and done it. Tell us one person who has never felt like jumping into their car, lashing it into fifth gear and plunging into the sea to get away from all those packed beaches in search of an idyllically abandoned cove or inlet somewhere. Well, that's exactly what you can do with this new car designed by two English companies. You too can now do what smarmy-arsed Roger Moore did as James Bond in this mo-mo. Zoom up mountain roads like Tourmalet or scoot out across the waves to little islands like Izaro. It does up to 160 km/h on the road and 50 km/h in the water and costs a mere _220,000 at your local showroom!

LOST IN TRASLATION

Sofia Coppola's last film, which gives us a special insight into the world of advertising, proves that she's more than just a surname. Two Americans in Tokyo. Neither can sleep and they bump into each other in the hotel bar. Two lost souls. Two friends, two…Two. The great Bill Murray, more than just a comic, and Scarlett Johansson, as beautiful an actress as she is a woman.

JOHNNY BE GOOD

The great man in black Johnny Cash has passed away. Before he left us though, he was hard at work on new material that'll see the light of day in a 100-song box set to be released in November. The box set contains new material, old songs and other versions of songs recorded with special friends like Joe Strummer, Nick Cave, Will Oldham and Fionna Apple. The title of the box set: “Unearthed”

ASCII... TOO COOL TO BE NEW!!!

Ascii (American Standard for Information Exchange) is a standard font type. It's made up of 127 characters which include all the letters of the standard English alphabet as well as orthographic symbols and special spacing signs. And, believe it or not, these little letters can be used to make films as well as words. Check them out at the following web page.
