The Auteurs

Lovefilm is my rental service of choice, having supplied me with nearly 400 films over the last 5 years. New to the scene (to me at least) is The Auteurs, which focuses on the obscure and the cult, streamed online. Each is £3.00, though there seems to be only a limited selection of about 20 movies at any given time. It certainly seems worth a try - if only for those moments when there is nothing on TV, but there is an urgent need for some quality viewing.

It can be found here.

Inside

A gripping five minutes from the mind of Trevor Sands, directing a short film called 'Inside'. Recommended.

Objects

Why? Why not.

Daft fun as Dylan Chandler scrolls through the contents of his home at high speed (which weirdly seems to make a bleepy electronic noise in my head), like some crazy one-armed bandit.

Day

One of the best examples of interactive data presentation, as published by the New York Times. It compresses a vast array of data on how people use their day into a visually rich graph, which clicking allows you isolate and explore. Take a look at the comparison between black and white eating through the day, for example - and how having one child means you work more, it seems. Fascinating stuff.
