The Age Of Stupid

Here we are and now the Copenhagen conference has been and gone. It seems this movie is right on the money. Still we are juggling with if it is true or not. This Global Warming thing.

Do we now give up as it is too late! I remember as a young kid not wanting to be part of this society that has handed me a polluted earth. I was born hippy and how could I not be. School social studies was geared all the time to how bad the earth is polluted and how we are killing the place. 40 years on. I now like my 3 Litre car as its the smoothest ride I have air conditioned office and car and don't like it any other climate  seems humid to little ole me.

What has happened to me I am trying to figure out. I am lazy my wife nags me to cycle to work I use the smallest drizzle of rain to excuse myself, and hop into my car. How do I break this habit.

I am just one, what can I do ...all these questions I need to change my attitude. I guess things are going to get worse globally and all that but I don't see it in my little bubble.

However I can get healthier by cycling lose some weight ...save money by not using so much gas.

When I do this then I can make better choices about what I can do next.

My request to you reader, should you stumble across this wee article is to see this movie and start making a choice of what's next

Reign Over Me

Okay so I watched this on Tele last night. I was pretty impressed with Adam Sandler playing a more serious role.

I wondered is this what becomes of comedians in tinsel town, once the comedians ouvre is devoured ad infinitum by the all consuming public.
Only drama is left for them to continue to act!

A good story really at how we deal with grief in our own way and time. In 2008 I had to come to terms again with a death in the family. I was pretty angry wtih some family members and the methods they way they expressed their grief and I was disapproving.

It seems one can't be left to greive on ones own truly without folk interfering or projecting there stuff. What a mess a death seems to leave for the living.

Anyhow back to the movie the tears were jerked as this tail unfolded. Laughter too. It seemed a good cast unlikely to be cast together.  Worth a look if you ain't seen it. Only reason I did was that IMDB rated it quite high 7.4 methinks

Seldom have I been to a movie that has had such an impact.
  • I liked how this was not a show off of all the 3D effects.
  • I loved the fantastic world of Pandora
  • The story is ok and holds you for the duration
  • Coming out from the movie is like waking from a dream
It has been some time since all these factors have wowed this movie lover. It is a beautiful movie. Will this mean I will have to get 3D TV?

Will 3D be here to stay?
Will it make you sea sick sometimes.
Will the makers still allow the audience some mid ear balance.
Will the story suffer

So many things...all in all though this movie was like being immersed in a book. Imagination in 3D...
