Last night we watched Escape From Planet Earth with a great crowd in Waterloo park. The movie was projected on a giant inflatable screen after the sun went down. Thanks very much to the organizers, it was a blast to attend!

Escape From Planet Earth was just released in Taiwan, where Chinese Mandopop singer Jam Hsiao played the voice of Scorch! It’s fun to see the international release roll out, and as they say in Chinese, 灼燒我,寶貝! (Scorch me, baby!)
