Please comment, kittens. I just spent almost three hours on this bloody entry.

I always enjoy the pictures you post of the sea. And though you may have been dressed like a dork, at least you were a warm(er) dork.

This is true.

I'm sorta... iffy about Prometheus. Could be good, could suck.

Could be good, could suck.

If the latter, my opinion of Scott will plummet.

I have been watching a lot of the classic movies on TCM lately, between the costumes, makeup and lighting, not to mention the lack of special effects, it makes me appreciate movies that dont depend on high speed car chases, explosions, or SFX to entertain the audience.

I can adore both equally. Both sorts of films. But I cannot abide gimmickry that forces directors, art directors, and cinematographers to deny the most fundamental tenants of film-making.

which at times seem to be story, plot, characters and pacing.

I would have thought that folks like Scorcese and Scott would know better.

Bingo.

I am blind in one eye, and therefore cannot see 3D, as I do not have binocular vision. Which is required if one is to see anything in three dimensions.

The tautog bone looks really interesting. I had never heard of that type of fish before now.

It really is a pity that Prometheus will be in 3D. I may have only seen a couple movies in 3D so far (Resident Evil: Afterlife last year and Hugo just yesterday), but I've never been of the opinion that a 2D movie couldn't capture the same greatness that its 3D counterpart might hypothetically provide, and I feel that 3D movies would be just fine in 2D without losing anything important.

Had it not, like all fish bones, threatened to stink us out of house and home, it would have been rescued from the beach. I took 5 or 6 photos, all macro, so we'd at least have decent representations of the thing.
