"Six hundred and six takes it took, and if they had been forced to do a 607th it is probable, if not downright certain, that one of the film crew would have snapped and gone mad...

At one point three tyres, amazingly, roll uphill. They do so because inside they have been weighted with bolts and screws which have been positioned with fingertip care so that the slightest kiss of kinetic energy pushes them over, onward and, yes, upward. During the pre-shoot set-ups, film assistants had to tiptoe round the set so as not to disturb the feather-sensitive superstructure of the arranged metalwork. The slightest tremor of an ill-judged hand could have undone hours of work."

"Enjoy up to 7 fish on screen at a time!"

Hidden down a lonely corner at E3 was this very beautiful software that just MUST have begun life as a Master's degree project. Or a graphics benchmark. Maybe they should sell it to Buena Vista Interactive and called it "Nemo's Dungeon".

"Achieve serenity from an exquisite marine habitat without the expense or maintenance of the real thing"

And real fish don't have wire frame mode.

This is absolutely the driest humor I have ever come across. Two parts, slightly dated to winter of last year but spot on humor. Don't miss the analysis of the instabilities inherent in The Shire's pipe-weed based economy in Part 1.
