Yet another unecessary remake?

They - Dreamworks - have remade The Ring, a rather good Japanese horror film.

At least we got to see the original: "having optioned the rights, Dreamworks effectively ensured the Japanese original will not be released in the US."

Last time I buy an Evening Standard

If you liked Hot Tickets [the weekly what's on guide for London, free with the afternoon paper] on Thursdays you'll love MetroLife! This Thursday!

Well, that's what the ad said.

And in a few respects, it is an improvement.

But the bastards have dropped the weekly TV listings!

Free strawberries

My local Sainsbury's has a large number of packs of strawberries reduced to 99p. Since they also come with 200 bonus points - equal to £1 - they're effectively paying people two pence per pack to take them away.
