Tons of fun, but are we intersecting the plot of "Lost" a little too much? Either way, convenient way to avoid having to be consistent....

MacDonald is not Pollack or Friedkin or Frankenheimer. But the actors and script reminded me of the great political thrillers from the 70s. I'm glad they still make these movies.
0.3The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)

*yawn*. Too much exposition, silly bland twist, and way too many cheap jump scares. But the acting was solid. Still I was bored in the theatre, and kept wishing the kid would kill his family.. except this wasn't Amityville.

I really expected it to be more clever or more twisted. Only so many times can you hear "can I trust you?" before getting bored.

Nice variation on the disaster movie, with more religion than I'd expect, but it worked...
0.3It occurs to me I haven’t really updated anything on the blog in forever.
While there are many things going on that I feel like commenting on, I am just never in the mood to type things up. bah….
Balloon in the distance
For my mom’s birthday, my sister decided that we should put them on a hot air balloon at sunset. While my mom complained infinitely about how dangerous it would be and how she hates hights and everything… When it was over, she LOVED it. Guillermo and I waited at the beach to find out when and where they were landing, and picked them up.
Today, we will drop them off at the airport for their long flight back home. Toby and Roxie have seen the bags and know that they are leaving, and do not seem very happy about it. Hopefully we will see them again soon.
So Red is finally getting somewhere with their Scarlet camera, but even though it’s a ‘nice thing to have’ it is way to expensive for playing with.
Looks like Canon’s next iteration of the mid-range prosumer camera (The Canon 60D or 7D depending on rumor) is going to have 1080/24p video mode. So it would look like a funny video camera, but it will be enough to play with. It’ll be nice to have lenses with actual real focal lengths and aperatures to play with, while still recording in a high quality digital format.
And today Canon Rumors is reporting that Canon is switching to using the CMOS chips in their new video cameras. So obviously they are hearing people (or fear the Red).

As you’ve probably noticed by now, I decided to re-do the look of the website from a fixed-width look to a much whiter, smaller font, variable-width with 3 column layout. So I went and got a wordpress theme whose base I liked, and made small modifications to get it where I wanted it to be.
I’ll probably be making small changes to it as I decide on more things I want and don’t want, but for now, hope this doesn’t offend your sensibilities….
