I started watching for actors that I recognized from other movies.
The ones I recognized : The hot Necromonger chick from The Chronicles of Riddick. The guy who played the Operative from Firefly. The guy who played Dr. Phlox from Enterprise. The guy who played Toto from SciFi's remake of the Wizard of Oz called Tin Man.
I think there was a pattern there. |

Getting stuck with the Last Post on a Page sucks and will not be allowed to die in anonymity : thin shadow wrote: Spoiler (mouse over to read):So it turns out that if you get really big solar flares, neutrinos (which are emitted from the sun and usually just pass through everything without affecting them; hence the "neutr" in their name) start making the core of the earth start heating up. And then it just heats up and heats up and heats up... etc. That makes everything below the crust go molten so the tectonic plates go all slippety-doo and suddenly the south pole is sitting in the middle of Wisconsin. Why this happens and then settles down again is never addressed, because from the science of their setup, everything should still just keep getting hotter and hotter until everything's burned away or gone molten, but I guess those crazy neutrinos felt bad about all they'd done and decided to start behaving themselves again.
They actually skip entirely the usual cliché where there's one guy telling them all that doomsday is coming and everybody argues about it. The main scientist dude finds out about it, goes and tells a couple of people, and everybody gets to work. They do it secretly, though, so humanity as a whole doesn't know that dooooom is coming for them in a matter of years.
So they build a bunch of giant space-age arks, Noah-style, and John Cusack's family and all the rich and important people of the world all go to China and get on them and float away when the ocean floods there, and pretty much all the rest of the population of the Earth gets destroyed in front of your eyes for about an hour and a half. |

Good riddance I say. |

I had to look up C. Thomas Howell. As I suspected, he's one of those faces who's appeared a million low budget crappy productions. I recognized him as the detective in that vampire Kindred show. |

I saw The Road yesterday. It was pretty good. I don't get why it didn't get a wider release, as it's only showing in 2 theaters in the whole city. |

Avatar: good for what it is, but it takes no real risks. The visuals are as amazing as everyone says; the story not so much. Up in the Air: great. Well-written, well-performed, well-directed. Solid all around. |
