Now you know I am not a fan of the track, or olympics in general, but Harmon just tweeted this

Fantastic film! Really well done

    Iain, go to the back of the class. I seem to remember it being very good though, when I watched it all that time ago.

    Cake Stop though. No one goes to cake stop unless they're desperately bored.

    Rick probably thinks we all look at Commuting too.

    I find it quite unsettling, mainly because I know the rider at the beginning and seeing that roadside shrine with his photo on it sends shivers down my spine.

    I get that without knowing him. So I guess that's good film making at work.

    They had this on a recent British Airways flight I was on, unfortunately I didn't see it as an option until we were landing. I'll watch tonight I think.

    It is very well done.

    Not sure that I like my emotions being so manipulated :?

    Now I find that it is part of the propaganda onslaught for the Olympics I like it less.

    It doesn't stop it being any more moving in my opinion. Just watched it, I thought it was excellent.

    Hauntingly beautiful. Thanks for the link Iain. We all know you're really just a big softie.
