Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2...

I saw the movie on the weekend and it was well worth getting to bed at 3am as a result. It was amazing, a really great way to end the movie franchise. I thought it provided closure for the books, too; up until now, I hadn't fully believed that J.K. Rowling was not actually going to write anymore Harry Potter books (and the rumours surrounding her pottermore.com announcement didn't help that). A glimmer of hope remained in my silly, imaginative, wanting-more mind. I suppose that's the sign of a great writer and an even better story.

Green Porno...

I saw Isabella Rossellini on a rerun of The Graham Norton Show last night (hillarious). She was promoting her series of acclaimed online shorts called Green Porno. She told Graham that she has always been interested in animals and that they've always made her laugh so she created Green Porno, a series of 2 minute videos in which she acts out the mating habits of insects and sea creatures. They are highly entertaining and, according to the Sundance Channel website on which the shorts are featured, 'scientifically accurate'. Huh.

There are so many videos to watch - she's been creating them since 2008. I really liked the bee one (damn those drones, they don't do anything!), but others include barnacles, spiders, whales, dolphins, earthworms, fireflies, and the list goes on! Rossellini has since followed up Green Porno with Seduce Me, a series on the seduction rituals of animals. She is such a glamourous woman and I think that adds to the hilarity of the shorts!
