A long day at work although I got my essay done. Woo. Haven't written an essay in a while but seemed to get back in the groove ok. Got some new albums to spin. Paul Dempsey - 'Everything Is True', The xx - 'xx' and Radiohead - 'Amnesiac (Collector's Edition)'. 'Amnesiac' is one of my favourite albums of all time. The collector's edition is pretty cool, lots of b-sides and live tracks.
'Ratatouille' (2007) directed by Brad Bird and Jan Pinkava
The animation in this is really impressive, it's just very enjoyable to watch. I did find the story a little hit and miss though because in parts it seemed to have a lot of depth but other parts not so much. For instance, some characters are just stereotypes, they seem to be "bad guys" for the sake of being "bad guys", which is kinda unusual for a Pixar film. Also, I did find it a little hard to get into a story about rats and food. For some reason also, when the rats are walking on two legs, they're much more watchable than when scurrying about on four.
