Shallow Grave

I watched a British film in 1994, Shallow Grave.
The director is Danny Boyle, who also directed Trainspotting.

This is about friendship, but it's not so simple.
I think friendship is very emotional relationship, therefore once the relationship gets wrong, it's just getting worse and worse.
Let's imagine that you go for a trip with a friend of yours and have serious argument. You might forgive him or her if they were not your friend, but sometimes you couldn't do it because they ARE friends.

This film shows the complexity of friendship very clearly. You might feel uncomfortable seeing this film, but it is interesting anyway.

SANPELLEGRINO / SANPELLEGORINO

I just drank it in a cafe. I thought the name was “sanpelleOrino”, but it was actually “sanpelleGrino”. The shape of “G” is a bit special and similar to “O”, so I just misjudged.

Maybe it is not unusual drink, but since I have never seen it in Japan, it is exotic for me and tastes better than other sparkling fruit drink. It is not so strongly carbonated, so it feels subtle and sensitive.

The following site, although it is in Japanese, introduces a lot of useful information about 3ds max, most of which contains sources in English.
