Dead End. Batman versus - well, everything nasty. I know, it has been blogged to death, but this is the best (Film-) Batman ever. And the best Joker, played by Walter Koenig's (Chekov - Star Trek: The Original Series) son Andrew Koenig. You now have the option of a 48MB download or a full screen 160MB download. Guess it's your choice. And no spoilers here. Movie directed by Sandy Collora, featuring Clark Bartram as The Batman. Picture taken from the OSG Forum 8:41:52 PM     |

Bovine Freedom. Cows with Guns is the most hilarious Shockwave animation I've seen for a long time. Found this gem somewhere in the usual linkfilter chaos. 6:39:51 PM     |

Vienna Design. Charlotte Schlifelner creates 'filmfakes' and 'screendesign' for Austrian TV productions ("Kommissar Rex"). Fascinating stuff. Oh - she's a big time Raumpatrouille fan too! 5:31:13 PM     |

Belgian fun. Have a look at An A to Z of Belgium. Found at My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Delhaize: A supermarket invented by the devil to torture his subjects. Offers every shopping frustration imaginable, from lack of baskets to severe aisle congestion. Home to the most spectacularly slow checkout queues in the universe. Horrid horrid place. July: The wettest month of the year in Belgium - a fact only really appreciated by anyone who has tried to block book a fixed hour on an outdoor tennis court for the whole summer season. Post Office: A building that is almost always closed. On the off chance that it is actually open, post office customers can expect the usual queueing problems and a severely incremental and erratic pricing system for overseas mail. This seems to be based on the mysterious Belgian "standard" envelope, an object carefully designed to ensure that any card purchased in a Belgian card shop will automatically fail to qualify as regular mail. 9:03:44 AM     |
