Postcards from the Future Photos, plus text (on hover), of future London from an exhibition at Museum of London. I especially like the Notting Hill one. (Many fab things on this site, all well-tagged. Well, if they're not well-tagged I didn't find them <g>.)

On new film The Eagle this adaptation of Rosemary Sutcliff's much-loved 1954 young-adult novel "The Eagle of the Ninth" bastardizes the source material to no good purpose, ending up with a strained combination of rah-rah, boy-bonding adventure and p.c. cross-cultural exploration. Which will not stop me going to see it.

Endangered Arts including meaningful conversation.

Sam Sykes and N. K. Jemisin on the fantasy trope of the Chosen One

South Korean cable TV trailer for the BBC Sherlock I ... there are no words. (Quite aside from the not-actually-sub subtext, they are borrowing paying homage to the line-art style of the credits for Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes.)
