Films of the Year

Its that time of year when ‘Film of the Year’ lists begin popping up everywhere, and not wanting to disappoint we here at Soda have merrily jumped on the festive film list bandwagon. So for the past few weeks I’ve been asking Soda staff and Soda friends to let me know what their ‘Film of the Year’ was (n.b. in hindsight I think requesting just one film of the year was a little mean- so I’ve allowed the occasional extra few films slip through the net) and finally here are the responses…

Still suffering from election withdrawal symptoms? Well hopefully we can offer you something to fill the void- (at least until the next general election).

Finally we have a Sunflower

After what feels like an eternity of growing green vines in the office I’m pleased to say we have our first flower c/o Frances Jim Jar’flower’musch.

In other flower news, Ben’s much neglected plant has some how managed to cultivate a bud. My own Orlando Bloom still reigns as the largest vine in the office (so big it had to be relocated onto the balcony) and is sporting a large bud that I hope will turn into a flower by the end of the week.

If You Were a Film…

Taking 10 minutes out of my lunch break yesterday I decided to answer this very question. If the Soda staff were films instead of people what would we be? My visions of an eclectic range of classic cinema were sadly dashed as I sourced imdb for our namesakes and below is the resulting alternative guide to the Soda staff (well those who were in on Monday)…

Ben Metcalf: Theatrical Sales Co-ordinator
Tagline: Where Willard ended, Ben begins, and this time he’s not alone
imdb rating= 4.5 & imdb keywords= Eaten alive by rats, Cornflakes, Harmonica, Firetruck (more…)

Vintage Ladybirds

Mingled amongst the mornings press releases for DVD boxsets and the like was this gem of a site, whereby you can whittle away the hours rummaging through vintage Ladybird book illustrations. Sadly several minutes of Soda’s once productive morning are now lost in the sites timewarp exploration of images of childhoods past, and we now encourage you to do the same. Following is a small selection of our personal favourites, starting with a slightly tenuous film based connection…
