Happiness Meme, Day 3
1. Post about something that made you happy today, even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this every day for eight days without fail.
Saw 9! It is really gorgeous, and I say that as someone who's not particularly fond of computer animation. The character and set designs are all amazing, and the textures are fucking perfect. I couldn't get over how much 9's zipper looked like an actual zipper. I would say it is about on par with James and the Giant Peach, overall. I love all the characters ridiculous amounts (well, not particularly 1, but even he had his moments), although I wish 2 had had more screentime.
I think it's a very good thing to teach kids about the dangers of self-replicating AIs at an early age. Kids watching this movie right now might actually be in a position where "Don't build an intelligent robot that can reproduce itself" could be a useful lesson someday! ...Uh, I might possibly read too much SF. But this really is something I worry about, okay!
It is, though, a lot sadder than most PG-rated films! This is a warning for anyone considering taking a small child to see it.
Um. I am possibly considering a paper comparing 9 to Frankenstein? They are about the dangers of science! I'm studying Frankenstein in Roots of Modern Culture this year, so it might be a legitimate essay topic.
