I…I…I’m not sure what to say. (- Literally Speechless.) It seemed to affect everyone differently. Some dismissed it, most loved it. I really loved it. It just suited me, it felt familiar almost. I think it is quite suited to my imagination, like one reviewer once said, it was almost like being in a dream.

Words: Outstanding, beautiful, emotional, stunning, heart-breaking, funny.

I do feel lucky to be one of the first to ever see it, I am so ridiculously happy right now. Incredible.

Going to see it again? Only about another 6 times.

The hype and discussion was making it out to be another 3D film. Albeit a legendary one. However I agree with James Cameron (the director), it really isn’t about the 3D, the story enthrals you, binds you and the world is incredibly immersive, almost real.

I will add, the 3D makes it even more immersive, you are really there, you see all that the director wants you see. So stunning. There are no gimmicky bullets coming out of the screen, its all about the depth, the realism….

That will have to do until I get my head together. Take his and my word for it, GO SEE IT! (IN 3D).

To quote a friend:

Just came back from a pre-premier 3D viewing of Avatar.
It was a sheer blast and impossible to describe with words as the experience is something I have never witnessed before.
Seriously, don’t watch this anywhere else than in a 3D cinema! You will realize for the first time what it means to really get immersed into a fantastical world.

For those who don’t know, James Cameron developed a new 3D stereoscopic camera system (’Virtual Camera’) that allows him to see his actors turned into CG characters and set in CG environments in real-time while shooting and also lends extensive 3D depth to the images. CG effects are no longer an exclusive part of post-production that need to be inserted afterwards but can be viewed and altered during shooting according to the director’s and actors’ needs.

And now look forward to seeing it on the big screen in 3D (and nowhere else…)!

It’s about time! Head over to my project site at Rablcube to see what I finally managed to get to work. The link is up there in the menu bar too.

Time to be harsh about stuff, and things.

Films & Movies

Avatar - Not Released.

If this film is anywhere near as good as I think it will be and as the 14 years or so it has had to improve says it will be, then I am going to need several note pads to even begin to explain to you all the subtleties and amazing work that has gone in to this film. I will review it with a summary later if your interested.

Pre-Watch Score: 10/10 (Don’t expect this to decrease either.)

Follow the link for oh so many more long reviews. (Oh joy…).

Today: A collection of random musings from good friends of mine.

-I love oranges … They have sexy peal

-Today, I saw that my ironing board cover was wrinkled……I laughed at the irony…..Then I laughed again because irony has the word iron in it.

-BBC has iPlayer. ITV has ITV Player. MSN has MSN Player. Sky has Sky Player….. I wonder why Channel 4 called theirs 4oD?

-I lost my grandfather recently…..He was hiding in the cupboard, silly cunt.

-It’s really difficult to find what you want on eBay. I was searching for cigarette lighters and it found over 15,000 matches.

-Me and my friend were discussing CD’s the other day…… Then we shot-putted oranges.

-What do you say to a man who’s just stole your gate? Nothing. He might take a fence.

-Arnold Schwarzenegger was asked if he wanted to upgrade to Windows 7. He replied “I still love Vista, baby”

-A girl winked at me across the room in Maths lecture today; I think it was a sine…

-How can you tell a maths student from other girls sunbathing on the beach? Look for the tan line…

-My aunt has just been sacked from her job at the jigsaw factory. She’s in pieces.

-I went as a leaf blower for Hallow e’en. At a party, one guy came in dressed as a leaf. Needless to say, it was awkward.

-I’ve just spotted this Facebook page for people who fantasize about turning into household objects,I just became a fan.

-We’ve got stained glass windows in our flat ….. Fucking pigeons.

-I once had a bad experience at a pantomime……. Fortunately, now it’s behind me.

-I stole an oven a couple of hours ago……………. I’m still waiting for the heat to die down.

-I got a phone call from British Gas to say my bill was outstanding….. I said, “Thanks!”

-Apparently, men with small penises want more rights. It’s difficult to see where they’re coming from.

Time passes far to fast when you get involved in work. I wish it didn’t, I can see my life ending up like that of so many others. You need only get involved in something and BLAM, 8 weeks of your life have gone. Hell, if it was something other than work then it may not have been so bad. In a way I don’t feel it was wasted, I have learned much and done plenty but I still feel it went by far too fast. I need to do other things, unfortunately I can’t as much as I hate it and as much as I want to, I need to finish this semester, this year and overall this degree. (I get by on reminding myself it is now less than 1 year, 7 months and 6 days till I graduate. Or 583 days, or 83 weeks, or 13,992 hours, or 839,520 minutes, or 50,371,200 seconds… but who’s counting.)
