Gin & Titonic - Ice Cube Ocean Liners and Icebergs

Why didn’t anyone think of this before? The cool new Gin & Titonic ($7) is a soft recyclable, food-safe synthetic rubber tray that makes 4 ice cube shaped RMS Titanic ships and 4 icebergs. I would have been happy with just ice cube icebergs floating around in my drinks, but adding in doomed ocean liners sinking to the bottom of my glass is absolutely inspired. I wonder if the ships will crack right up the middle just like in real life? These are the perfect gift for any Titanic “fan” or other lovers of epic disasters.

Alan Moore not too thrilled about the “Watchmen” movie

There is no question that English writer, Alan Moore, is nothing short of a genius. But with so many of his graphic novels, including the upcoming film “Watchmen”, being adapted for the big screen, Moore has been vocal about his distaste for Hollywood. According to a recent interview in the L.A. Times:

“I find film in its modern form to be quite bullying,” Moore said. “It spoon-feeds us, which has the effect of watering down our collective cultural imagination. It is as if we are freshly hatched birds looking up with our mouths open waiting for Hollywood to feed us more regurgitated worms. The ‘Watchmen’ film sounds like more regurgitated worms. I for one am sick of worms. Can’t we get something else? Perhaps some takeout? Even Chinese worms would be a nice change.”

With many of his graphic novels brought to the big screen, including “From Hell”, “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”, and “V for Vendetta”, Moore has never felt that the films can do justice to the original literature and he feels no different for the March bound release of “Watchmen”.
