Epic video of a Slinky on a treadmill
Mesmerising.
I had no idea a Slinky’s adventures on a treadmill could be so dramatic or affecting. The stumble at ~1:43 is the most harrowing scene in film so far in 2012.

If you’ve read Lockpick Pornography, could you write an Amazon review? I feel like it helps people know what to expect. I always read through the Amazon reviews when looking at new books or movies to buy. Here’s the Amazon link.
It is summer time! It is time to climb up on things and yell at other things that are too high to reach. It is time to mess up the calm quiet routines we built up all winter. With fire. It is time to make yourself proud and everyone else a little nervous.

The movie Rabbit Hole is one of my favourites. This bit in particular breaks my heart, where Becca is talking to her mother (who also lost a son) about grief:
——
Becca: Does it ever go away?
Nat: No. I don’t think it does. Not for me it hasn’t. It changes, though. The weight of it. At some point it becomes bearable. It turns into something you can crawl out from under. And you carry it around—like a brick in your pocket. And you forget it every once in a while, but then you reach in for whatever reason and there it is: “Oh right. That.” Which can be awful. But not all the time. Sometimes it’s kinda…Not that you like it exactlyl but it’s what you have instead of your son, so you don’t wanna let go of it either. So you carry it around. And it doesn’t go away, which is…
Becca: What?
Nat: Fine…actually.
