A new design...

In the tradition of having a more garish (hence the name Blurrrrgh) design, I've changed to something green... Nothing quite says hurl like a mixture of greens... Tho I can't see any carrot in here... Maybe I need to modify the template.

Film: Lord of War

Saw an interesting film last night, Lord of War. Starring Nicolas Cage, it opens with the interesting story of the life of a bullet, starting from when its pressed out of a chunk of metal and ending when it splats a kid in the middle of Africa.

Cage makes a number of great points about the arms trade in the film. His character is apparently an amalgamation of 5 real life arms dealers, I was never in any doubt that his portrayal was anything short of the mark for those guys.

At the start of the film, he says that there are enough guns for "1 in 12 people on the planet" and that it was his job to figure out how to "arm the other 11".

The film has gotten interesting reviews around the place, mostly 3 - 3 1/2 stars. I figured it to be at
least a 4, mostly because it delivers on the shock value so well.

I highly recommend this film. It doesn't pull any punches, and from all reports (including Amnesty Intl.) a good representation of what goes on in those circles.
