I know no one reads this. It has, instead, become a stress release. I have returned to reality. A reality of sorts at least...college is not reality, it is a hypereality in reality. Our coocon. Nice.
To the Movies
No Country for Old Men
Makes me want to read the book. The monologues of Javier and Tommy Lee are golden. Definately came from the book. Good intense, then drops off, but it doesn't really. It ends as it should. Direction was interesting, but decent.
Atonement.
Hooray for Keira. She is blossoming into a serious actress and isn't just the eyecandy of the pirates of the carribean aka sexy disney. Her voice is so amazing, simply for lack of better words, the texture is stunningly pulchritudinous. Jimmy Mack did well as well. The story is beautiful, yet it makes my heart hurt. I wonder, is writing atonement, or is it punishment. The living write the stories. Must read the book.
Enchanted
Good to see the industry can make fun of themselves.
I am Legend
So, I hate zombies. I do not know, maybe it was all the vodoo I was around when I was a maybe, but zombies, no me gusta...until I thought about what the Fresh Prince said about the infected. BP 200/200 Pulse 200, VOX 300x normal....I am no biologist, but at these levels, the heart would destruct, cellular respiration would literally be burning up the body, literaly, the body runs on a combustion of sorts and and at those levels of oxygen consumption oh my. And if their core body temperature is at 105F, normal brain function, including the limbic system would be severaly impaired if not destroyed. With this in mind, the infected would die at alarming rates and are not capable of any inteligent and maybe little conscious thought at all. That's all.

No Country for Old Men:
Like the dialogue? You should definitely read it, then. Quintessential Cormac McCarthy. Funny to hear that you like the end, because most people complained about it.
Atonement:
I haven't seen the movie, but I really liked the book. I'm scared to see it because, while I like Keira, I can see how easily the movie could deviate from the book.
I Am Legend:
I haven't seen this one, either, but I hate zombie stuff (I scare easily). If you like the post-apocalyptic question, check out another Cormac McCarthy book, The Road. Best one I've read...sure beats Revelations.
Someone does read it.
