I guess, but I'm still completely thrown off by how in this otherwise remarkably realistic and grounded universe (all things being relative) there's just this sudden thing thrown on at the very end that had no real set up (And you can't tell me that Elphie having an aversion to water her entire life somehow equates to "Oh yeah by the way if you even touch it it'll kill you.") and doesn't actually seem to play by any sort of rule book.

I mean the Witch was in a damn rainstorm with an umbrella and he actually expects me to believe that she didn't get splashed, even a bit? That's not the way rain + wind works.

I have to wonder if this were any other story would you really be so forgiving of such a massive hole in the storytelling?

Trust me, no one loves a good nihilistic tragedy like me, and like I said, I desperately want to just love the shit out of this book. But every story telling bone in my body is screaming foul at this ending and I just can't get past it.

I have precisely zero thoughts on the movie.

But wow, that kid doesn't look at all exactly like his father.
Thats gonna be one damn handsome man right thur.

Well yea, that's called writing good villians.

That doesn't mean that it makes up for not having any Batman in your Batman movie.

If you can't tell I've been trying to catch up on a lot of the apparently really good sci-fi that I missed because I was like... 7 at the time. And todays instalment was!!!...

Event Horizon.

I think my feelings for this movie can pretty much be summed up in what I exasperatedly managed to gasp out when the credits started to roll.

Daaaayum. Why isn't more of this?

Yep, I loved everything about this movie.  And just because, squuueee, more Laurence Fishburne as grungy spaceship captain (we really need more of that btw)!! Just the balls out, fuck you audience we're doin this shit attitude, just, frackin, rocked man, we desperately need more of it.

Although this pretty much wraps up the list I had for good scifi stuff to catch up on (Mostly cause I have no clue what else I don't know exists) , so suggestions would be nice.

I decided to go back and revisit Burn After Reading after it was brought up in the chat today. I only ever saw it once, and I must have been completely exhausted and out of mind. The movie I remembered going in was some sort of dense mesh of incomprehensible nonsense, and the movie I saw was a ridiculously fun little movie.

It was a wonderfully refreshing trip back to the glory days of the quirky bat-shit-crazy Brad Pitt, and a reminder that George Clooney kinda knows his shit about this whole acting thing. And through repeated arguements with everyone on the face of the planet I know I'm alone in this next one, but another glorious chance to marvel in the beauty that is Tilda Swinton.... even if she does make the most terrifying pediatrician known to humankind. And well JK Simmons just makes me grin like a lunatic.

In conclusion, fuck that was fun!

Wow, goin for a late one eh? So pumped, havn't had a Trey talking for two hours adventure in a while.

Sigh, picky picky.

In other news. This is freaking cool!

When I get rich and famous I'm gonna have an entire artificial jungle in my backyard filled with these things \/

A new one? Or am I missing something?

One question I have for Trey actually. When you're working on a project like this where it's very visual effects heavy, but you're doing all the VFX yourself, are the software licences and all the costs within, part of that overall budget you had? Or did you have to supply it all yourself? Just how did that whole process work?

I'm with you. I actually thought (and desperatly hoped) that this is what they were doing, unfortunately it looks like I was proven wrong, but alas, a guy can still dream I guess.

Not to mention that the ship at the 1:00 mark is called the George W. Bush.

Wtf is a fitocracy?
