Howl's Moving Castle is on BBC2 at 10:05am tomorrow, Sunday 28th Dec. Not the most faithful adaptation I can imagine, but it's Miyazaki's animation of a Diana Wynn Jones story, so it's still pretty damn good.

Flame Guns revisited...

Getting back to flame pistols again

I've somehow got to get enough energy from a small cheap diamond to zap an immense amount of the countryside, and bond energy simply doesn't cut it - it would be about as much as you'd get from burning the diamond or a similarly sized lump of coal with a blowtorch.

Does carbon fusion (as seen in supernovas) seem even faintly plausible as the energy source?

Cheap Iron Man DVD

Amazon.co.uk and Play.com are both selling the single-disk version of Iron Man for just under 6.00 - Play 5.99, Amazon 5.98

None of the other DVDs I'm after seem to be cheap at the moment, but that's show biz.
