This morning, I was looking at the profile of someone the OKCupid robot said would be a good match for me. On the sidebar, they list similar people. This is one of the matches they listed:
I’m hoping that the robot is being tongue in cheek when they say that someone with the name “seeking3-some” is “more desiring of sex”. Technology for the win.
Baz Luhrman (Moulin Rouge, Romeo & Juliet, other things) has directed a new 3D!?!?!?! version of The Great Gatsby. (I HATE 3D. In case you were wondering.)
It stars Leo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire – all excellent actors & visually, this trailer is gorgeous.
I’m really hoping it’s showing in old fashioned 2D too…
If you go to this site, it allows you to select your location & it will show you exactly where the other side of the world is from where you are. (Click on the picture below to embiggen).
