I don’t know if Andreja is reading this… but I’m sure she remembers when she brought [...]

Free documentary films is always a good thing, so if you’re interested check out DocBoat, which is an on-line documentary film festival (this year is its first edition :)).

More and more clips of Tom Felton at DragonCon are popping up on youtube and it just defies belief lol It’s a really crazy interview. From what I can make out, at this time clips of two Q&A sessions have appeared. Two more sessions are still to come I think.

Tom Felton is doing publicity at Dragoncon in Atlanta at the moment.

Algeria is still a country I’d like to understand a whole lot better, but this is a very good (albeit long) video report to start with - it really explains a lot.

Sometimes, when I read about the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, I cannot help but think it is some weird Monty Python kind of reality, even if what I’m reading is very gruesome. Some of the rules and customs are just that absurd.
This is the first time I’ve had that feeling when watching a video, even [...]
