Lumino magazine interviews 11 cast members of Office Space and asks their thoughts of the movie 5 years later. I can\’t believe it tanked when it came out. Everyone I know whose seen it loves it, especially people who work in offices. Mike Judge is a comedy genius. It really deserves a special edition DVD treatment too. I wanna see the Milton cartoons the movie\’s based on.

U.S. Military Clears A-Team of Charges. That bottom picture rocks.

Sex Attacker Wins Lottery on Weekend Out of Jail

A convicted rapist serving a lengthy jail sentence has won $13 million on Britain\’s national lottery, a newspaper reported Wednesday.

Iorworth Hoare was on weekend release from a low-security prison when he bought his winning ticket for last Saturday\’s Lotto Extra draw, the Sun said.

I\’d imagine he\’ll have a lot of new friends when he returns to jail.

Some dude in Chicago caught them filming Batman Begins and he has real-life photos of the batmobile. It\’s actually smaller than it looks in the other photos I\’ve seen.

And then Ain\’t It Cool has actual footage of it in action.

Punk rockers in England combined flash mobs and punk rock to create guerrilla gigs. They send SMS messages to fans from the band\’s website and tell them where to meet for a quick show.

\”Sometimes, the music industry doesn\’t want to help, so you just do it any way you can. We use SMS, e-mail, mailing lists, message boards, my Sony Ericsson T68i and technologies like MSN Messenger and iChat; then people pass details on to other people to spread the word.\”

MoMA has a cool online exhibit of 25 tall buildings, each designed within the last 10 years. Included are 3 proposals for the World Trade Center. Lots of awesome architecture here.

I\’ve never read Frank Miller\’s Sin City but it\’s being made into a movie directed by Robert Rodriguez. The comic has a very distinct black and white look and it sounds like Rodriguez effectively captured that style.

Rodriguez\’s Q&A; revealed some interesting stuff. The just under two hours film is three separate stories \’The Hard Good Bye\’, \’The Big Fat Kill\’ and \’That Yellow Bastard\’ which we will see longer versions of on the DVD. Best comment of all though was that should they make more of these Sin City stories, the aim would be to potentially later issue DVD discs with one separate story per disc which would be included inside trade paperbacks so you could read the comic and then watch the film interpretation of it.
