I haven't seen it, and chances are I won't be able to take the boy, but this is on my list of films to see in 2012.

"As long as there's none of those damned commercials" I tell the clerk as I buy the tickets, "Absolutely none" he tells me, "the film goes right into the movie...".
Now these commercials, the best, the Bronze, Silver and Gold Lion winners from Cannes, they're great. Some are better than great, most have far more insight, originality, depth and emotion than James Cameron's entire life's work. Links to some of the more memorable below.
Allstate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DU5LKoC1A8 - You know it's going to be good when the narrator tells you he's your son. The other Allstate commercials with Mayhem are worth watching as well.
Drink Driving - Brandhouse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JWUXXXJq8k - Like being a woman on Plenty of Fish...
Heineken - The Entrance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcX1PTOmvO8 - Which only serves to remind me how much I need to improve my party skills....
Nike: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl0IlD4qLUM - Deep pockets can buy you great advertising. Love the ad, despise the corporation.
Indian Train: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzEKCYb6zzU - Just for the WTF factor. I mean, WTF.
Tippex - A hunter shoots a bear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ba1BqJ4S2M - Clever Viral, try and stump the hunter. Go on.

Without a doubt, the best news ever. How much better would the news be if every station did this?

The temperature minus thirty degrees and dropping.
The first taste of winter this winter. We can't complain, temperatures hovering at the +10, +12, degree Celsius range, now, however, winter's here.
In the morning the temperature in the house is 10 degrees. I crank the heat, the cats perch upon the vents, clouds of fur and dried cat-feces fill the air. Winter's here.
