Man is born crying. When he has cried enough he dies.

Don’t know if we’re getting the re-release over here but Ran is one of my favourite films (also one of my Dad’s).

Edit: GRRM has posted a review of RAN by John Jos Miller over at Not a Blog.

I‘m normally not a fan of unrelenting despair – and RAN is one hundred and sixty two minutes of uninterrupted gloom that concludes with one of the bleakest scenes I’ve seen on film – but a masterpiece is a masterpiece.

The Garden of Earthly Delights

Hi-res interactive version of Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights.

Just outstanding, and this really is hi-res, you can see every crack and stroke, plus it has audio commentary and further reading for a number of details.

I’ve mostly picked from the pleasant side, one from the not-so-pleasant, I’ll let you explore the rest at your leisure.
