This is a little CSS helper application I made. It allows you to insert a file or web path to a CSS file and load it into the Flash application exe. It then lists all the available CSS tags. It then allows you to input HTML utilizing the desired CSS tags and displays the url encoded text (escaped), the decoded (unescaped) values and the final end CSS applied view with the option to change the BG color of the field.

The primary use I have found for this and used it myself is testing and creating url encoded HTML strings with CSS styling. Perfect for using HTML with CSS styling in XML attribute tags when CDATA is not allowed.

So I finally saw Broken Flowers by Jim Jarmusch.

Broken Flowers

Now after Lost in Translation I was really looking forward to this. The trailer had the same feel and realistic appeal. In truth the movie was a major dissapointment. The characters had an awkward feel to them but not from the natuaral realistic appeal. The end was a major dissapointment leaving you feeling like the movie left to many questions to feel remotely satisfied. Now dont get me wrong I am all about not wrapping every little thing into a nice pretty package with a happy ending, but I believe to be able to feel like you reached the goal of a film or story there should be some direction indication of the reality that awaits. Too many things were left unanswered and the emotional or insight connection to the characters – primarily Bill Murray’s – was never attained. All in whole I walked away feeling cheated yet never fullfiled or drawn into caring about anyone or anything in the movie. Dissapointed, better luck next time I suppose.
