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.

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.

I'm not, really. They would have been stupid.

You're going to have to see the movie!

I'm not sure there's even an Aerosmith right now, anyway.

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.

Thin was right. The South Pole is now in the middle of Wisconsin.

It's cuddling cold here.
