Ramblings of the Eternally Bored

Ever wondered what the Kill Bill trailer would have looked like if all the characters were from Star Wars? Me neither, but this is superb (once you get past the quite boring prologue):

The gaping maw.

This is my third post, here at thefridayfive. I'm glad to be a part of it.


This week's questions were suggested by amguynes

1. What would you do if a random stranger gave you a bouquet of roses?
2. What is the most commonly used color in your house?
3. What color is your favorite t-shirt?
4. If you could go back in time, what time would you live in and where would you live?
5. If you could have any ONE thing in the entire world (not including money) what would it be?

Copy and paste to your own journal, then reply to this post with a link to your answers.

New entry over at my Dream Width Journal I think I'm going to be keeping my Sim stuff there. I got bored with my last Sim and after a little break started up a new one.

Sure it often tastes like it was filtered through a dirty ashtray...it's still better than the horrible French-vanilla flavored stuff Aspirations tried to foist on me a few hours earlier. (I do not like flavored coffee.)

I found these on youtube...

No forced perspective here--the chair is about 11 feet tall.

If I had won the lottery when this was for sale I would have bought it and done great things with it.

The movie "2012" pretty much met my expectations exactly. There are some spectacular special effects but very little to actually care about. The film is populated with character-types rather than characters so its difficult to work up any empathy for the victims and survivors of the catastrophe portrayed.
The early sequence of the destruction of California is chock full of stunning imagery. The scale of destruction is staggering but the CG still manages to include human-scale details, but ultimately its like watching a fireworks display - there is plenty of well choreographed explosions but ultimately nothing moves you.
I could have written this review before I saw the film and little would have changed, make of that what you will. I guess I just like the fireworks.
