Magic

Ok, I'm kind of over the Bin Laden thing now. I mean I know it's important and people are happy about it, but that's the ONLY thing in the news. I guess it's better than something petty about a celebrity, but it's a little exhausted. All NPR and KROQ talked about this morning was Bin Laden. All BBC.com and LATimes.com had on their pages yesterday was the death of Bin Laden. Again, it's much better than something silly, but I'm a little tired of it. Maybe my attention span sucks. Either way, I'm going to attempt to get our minds off of it for a few minutes.

I've been having these crazy urges lately. I want to sit down and watch all the Back To The Future movies, E.T., and Jaws. I want to go on the tram ride at Universal Studios. I want to take a tour of the Warner Brothers lot and the Paramount Lot. I've been on both lots before, but for some reason I've been getting these intense urges to hang out on a studio lot. I'm not sure where this is all coming from, but the feelings just keep getting stronger and stronger. A bit ago, I found a Pixar documentary on NetFlix. It wasn't on instant so I couldn't watch it, but a few weeks ago it was instant and I watched it like 3 times. I'm getting an urge to start doing something great. Making movie magic or something. Because of my intense urge, I thought I would share a clip that I'm sure everyone has seen, but it's probably my favorite and I feel like it's kind of important. Especially now. Makes me want to get out and do something.

Glasses for Life

Oh that NPR channel. So this morning, NPR was discussing 3D movies and how every freaking movie is using the technology and my heart broke. I hate hate hate 3D. Everyone I know hates 3D. It’s annoying to wear stupid plastic glasses for 2 hours. The technology gives everyone a headache. It basically ruins the movie. I don’t see the need for objects seemingly flying at my face. It doesn’t appeal to me it just makes me feel like my personal space is being invaded. A lot. I have seen a few 3D movies and many because I had no choice. When I went to see the movie Coraline, my friends and I went out of our way to find a theatre that didn’t have 3D and it ended up being in 3D anyway. Even the DVD for the movie is in 3D. We even had to go all the way to Ventura to see Up in 2D. That is dedication. Well, we were on vacation and happened to see a 2D version and jumped at the chance. Anyway, we hate 3D. It sucks.

So NPR was saying that 3D is the new best thing and every movie is going to be 3D. Why?!?! Every time my friends and I see a preview for a movie that we want to see, the end says “coming in 3D” and we all groan. They are ruining movies!!! Turns out that 3D is so popular in the movie theatres and in video games that they are going to make TV 3D. Oh hell no. I will move to the mountains and become a hermit if that happens. 3D TV is being tested right now and certain devices are already for sale to make your living room a 3D palace of barf. What is the world coming to?!?!
