Tip for Mac Firefox users
I've found Firefox's behaviour on Mac very annoying: by default, pressing tab jumps only between text fields. It doesn't move the focus to links or what's worse, dropdown menus or checkboxes. That's rather annoying, when you're trying to fill a form.
It seems it's not a bug, but intended Mac behaviour. It's bloody annoying, nevertheless, but fortunately there's a solution. Right now the Mozilla folks are debating whether to add this as something users can change themselves (I vote YES YES YES), meanwhile there's a cryptic solution.
Go to Firefox config by typing "about:config" on the address bar. Find "accessibility.tabfocus" (should be near the top). It's value should be 1. Change that to 3, and the tab key starts to work the way you expect.
It still won't move the focus to links (which is fine with me); if you want that enabled, setting the value to 5 causes tab to move to text fields and links and setting it to 7 causes it to move to everything.
See Bugzilla for more details.

Audition
Takashi Miike's sensational Audition wasn't a great sensation when we saw it last weekend. Perhaps we had too high expectations; I'm sure the movie would've been better if we didn't know a thing about it. Now it was, frankly, quite boring most of the time and when the shocker came in the end, we didn't get shocked. For a movie that boasts extreme violence, it was quite tame.
