Weird Wired Web

...Not really a proper misf column this week as I'm too busy recovering from the shocking news that seminal '60s Brit gangster flick "Get Carter" (the original starred Michael Caine) has been given a Hollywood makeover. Yes, the "updated" version stars none other than that colossus of Shakespearean method acting, Sylvester Stallone. I've seen the trailers and (predictably) it looks like utter pants. All guns and explosions rather than the exercise in minimalism that was the original. No doubt most Americans have never heard of the original film so it'll probably do well over here but I wouldn't be surprised if they *don't* give it a UK release any time soon...

...So anyhow, a few weblinks to waste away your hard-earned recreational time. You'll need a fast connection and wizzbang computer for some of them, but there should be something for everyone...
