Pan's Labyrinth; Java phones

[spudtater]

Went to see Pan's Labyrinth at the Cameo cinema last night. I highly recommend it! Guillermo del Toro is a man who understands what makes a good fairy tale: gore, violence, and thinly-veiled sexual imagery abound, all set against and integrated into the real-life terrors of Franco's Spain. But as with the best fairytales, all this gothic darkness serves to make the innocence and hope of the central character stand out all the more. An excellent film. Go see it.

Also: I have finally got the J2ME development kit installed and working on my computer. I can program my phone! Woo! Here's my first application _[JAD].

Pan's Labyrinth is the best film of the year. I haven't reviewed it, because I don't quite know how to do justice to it.
