- Studios are increasingly stripping rental DVDs of special features. I ran into this over the weekend with The Informant. I’d be very interested in an audio commentary or any other behind-the-scenes material — it’s an unusual movie, based on a very unusual case — but I won’t buy it for that.
- Incidentally, speaking of The Informant, I was amused by this user comment at IMDB: “…the main character in this film was just bad with the way his thoughts were and thinking the way he did.”
- Meanwhile, I am not at all surprised that Ridley Scott’s new Robin Hood movie isn’t remotely historically accurate, despite his repeated claims to the contrary. Still, it’s interesting to go in search of the “real-life” Robin Hood. [via]
- I’m not a big fan of cilantro, but I don’t hate it. Apparently, though, there may be a good reason why many people (like my father) do. [via]
- And finally, the headline reads Black Hole Strikes Deepest Musical Note Ever Heard. [via]
Count me as one of the cilantro haters. I’ve never bothered trying to compare the flavor to soap or lotion, as the link states. I just find it nasty and never eat salsa at that Mexican restaurant ever again. Interestingly, the year I grew arugula in my garden and mixed it with my salads, I had no problems with its flavor.
Robin Hood movie is quite good, a bit more historically accurate in my opinion.
