Theoretics: Mystic River

[ MYSTIC RIVER. Not to be confused with MYSTIC PIZZA ]

(Major Spoilers!). See the film before reading, even if you’ve seen it before. Lots of plot details and hypothetical notions discussed .

With the new Clint Eastwood directed film Million Dollar Baby hitting Australian cinemas next week (and up for a Best Picture Oscar nod), I thought I’d give some analysis of his 2003 film Mystic River.

- Canon 50D
  Seems like it's real. 15MP of fun :)
- Best Online Media Converter
  The best online video converter I've found! Greatest results for youtube conversions come from converting to the .flv video format first and then use another converter to get it to .mov or .mp4 (H264).
- Transport Expert says 'Fire Connex'
  I couldn't agree more with this. Everyone in Melbourne knows how bad they are. Let's fire them and ensure this kind of thing happens with a new service too.
- Death Cab For Cutie @ The Palace
  Went to this last night. A great show. They played a lot of older material much to the delight of Lyndsay and myself (plenty of stuff off Transatlanticism :) ) No camera though :(
- Billy Bob Thornton as Freddy Krueger?
  According to this site. I treat this as a rumour so far but if we are going to accept a remake, Thornton would make a decent choice.
- 46 minutes of live Sigur Rós
  Via Current. Oh yes.
- Tropic Thunder Attacked By Mental Disability Groups
  I understand where these groups are coming from but it is a comedy made by Ben Stiller who is sattiritising Hollywood who capitialise on people with disabilities.
- Entourage Season 5
  The new season kicks off September 7 so mark those calendars.
- Google Street View Hits Australia
  They have covered a decent area.
- Aronofsky to direct Robocop reimaginating?
  Well according to AICN. I love the original and Aronofsky is always an interesting director so I could totally dig this.
