Saw the movie ‘The Island’ tonight starting Ewan McGregor and Scarlet Johannsen. I’d read some good reviews of it previously and I was not dissapointed, while much of the action and chase scenes was completely unbelievable it was of such high quality and originality that you couldn’t help enjoy it. The story and acting was also reasonably strong. Sean Bean also put in a good performance as the (evil?) director of the facility. Overall I’d give it a 9/10 and highly recommend seeing it.

Seeing as everyone else online was talking about it I found a Nasa TV feed and watched the final 10 minutes of Discovery’s approach and landing. Starts out a big white blob from an infrared camera and finally morhps into a more distinguishable shuttle shape as it lands. Despite having a 256/128k DSL connection I could only get a steady stream that didn’t buffer every 5 seconds if I see my average/maximum bandwidth in the Real Player preferences down to 56/128k.
