The Gen6 car certainly looks better than the CotF, but I find all the media attention to it pretty hilariously stupid. Similarly stupid: the fan voting for the shootout.
I do hands-on testing with cameras/camcorders and write in-depth reviews. Also news/features about new models, etc. Sometimes I write for some of our sister sites about other electronics/appliances.
Most trans-continental flights have a selection of current and classic movies available on the in-flight entertainment system for free. You'll probably spend half of your time watching those, half sleeping (and a little eating). Don't worry, it'll be over sooner than you think.
I just did a 12hr flight to/from Japan and it was totally fine.
And yeah, bring a book or two in case you're not in the mood for a movie.
Magic Mike: A- (hilarious, surprisingly well acted)
Killer Joe: A (dark, twisted)
The Man From Nowhere: B- (tries a bit too hard, but pretty entertaining)
Norwegian Wood: C+ (not as good as the book, still sufficiently atmospheric)
The Imposter: A-
Premium Rush: B+ (hilariously goofy; never seen anybody chew up as much scenery as Michael Shannon does in this)
Seven Psychopaths: B
Oslo, 31. August: A
