I still think the Matrix’s bullet time sequences are pretty cool. I know it’s old hat these days but that doesn’t stop me enoying it.

Alternative Star Wars is sexy and tattooed
The photographs in this blog post are a collection from Robin Cook. These are just a sample, just enough to tempt you to go check out his blog and admire the rest. Interestingly, he calls these “Part 1”. Still not a fan of tattoos.
