1. I have never bought a copy of Vertigo magazine in my life and the only time I've taken a glimpse through its pages was when one of our lecturers brought in her own copy to class. After spotting an easy question about the Quays pictorial appearance in The Falls (Name the director? answer: 'Peter Greenaway'), I e-mailed the answer (so much easier and cheaper than the old snail mail system) to the good ole BFI, and voila...
2. ...I won a DVD I already own! If only I had waited, but then, this is me we're talking about, the world's greatest anti-capitalist-capitalist, condemn the ethics, buy the products! Although I consider my material being to be a little more productive than merely buying redundant items, after all, film is my research.
Who's complaining though, it's a freebie!

You have two, I have none.. how is that fair? ;)
I see you linked my blog, cool! However, when I click the link I get some sort of a spam message.
Hey, how come i didn't know about your new blog? :)
Maria: I get the same "spam" message when I click the link too, I have no idea why this may be, however, there is a link within that spam page that redirects to your blog so I just use that, after all, the original link is correct!
Sue: I hadn't gotten that far yet. :) Trying to keep this one less "public" without resorting to full-on privacy (i.e. login protection), so inviting one at a time.
Less public blog? Oops, maybe I should remove the link from my blog to yours? Not that I have that many visitors - so the refferred traffic from my site to here can't be that overwhelming...
