Coming up

Films I'm looking forward to this summer.

Prince Caspian - 27 June
Not my favourite book, but looks like a fun movie!


Indiana Jones 4 - 22 May
Wahey! How can Indiana Jones not be fantastic?


The X Files 2 - 1 August
Can you believe they're back?! Mulder and Scully rock...

John Piper on the Prosperity Gospel

This a superb video highlighting comments by John Piper on the 'Prosperity Gospel' message speaking in Birmingham in 2005.



Those are full-on words, but I think he's essentially got it right.

N.B. The story he tells about the car crash happened to someone in his church.

Talented Hyperactive Amateur

Chris introduced me to Lasse Gjertsen's video Amateur which is a fantastic piece of video editing and a great track besides. Has to be seen!

"I can neither play the drums nor the piano."

If you like this one, you might enjoy his original video Hyperactive which is pretty funny!

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

I was reminded recently how much I enjoyed the music video for Sitting, Waiting, Wishing - you can view it on the In Between Dreams page on the official site.

I love the creativeness of it, and trying to figure out what comes next from the clues.. It's a simple idea, but cleverly executed (look out for when the piano comes in), and he does a good job dubbing the lyrics as well - I wonder how many tries that took?!

PMQs

On the BBC website you can watch the first clash between Tony Blair and David Cameron, the new leader of the Conservative Party. Prime Minister's Question Time is always one of the most watchable and entertaining parts of politics - and this interaction is no exception. The first 6 minutes are well worth a watch..

BTW - if you're wondering why TB's first response is brushed off so quickly, it's because a Backbench MP's first question must be pre-tabled (the standard question is to ask the PM to list his engagements for the day) but he or she is then allowed to ask a 'supplementary' question on any topic they like...
