Statham and Yuki (F1 roundup)

(I believe he named his iPhone "Jason Statham's son")

Absolutely wonderful ending to the DRS era. Here's a roundup of some end of season F1 stuff, including lots of little Lando:

The Supergirl teaser looks great, but I want to know if they're going to have the weird horse stuff in the movie

(I love True Grit, so I enjoyed the comic, but, not knowing anything about the horse, it got pretty weird toward the end)

Teaser trailer this week. #Supergirl

Francis Ford Coppola sold a watch with an animated hand









From the listing:
Coppola extended an invitation for François-Paul Journe to visit him at his Inglenook winery in the Napa Valley. Their meeting in 2012 was creatively fruitful, with Coppola, long fascinated by historic automatons, asking Journe if a human hand had ever been used, or could be used to indicate time. With no timepieces known to have ever been produced using a human hand, the seeds were planted in Journe’s mind to figure out a way to indicate the passage of time using a single hand.
