Children of Coolness

Whew. Two days of financial classes. My poor dumb brain. It's trying to get smart. Silly brain.

Saw the movie "Children of Men" tonight. Wow. Amazing. Nothing like the book (according to Tanya) but still very cool. She really enjoyed it as well. This is a movie critics and movie lovers will study for years to come. Some of the shots and scenes were simply unbelievable. And raw. The action wasn't exciting-fun "Schwarzenegger" action; it was gritty, bite your tongue, dig your nails into your spouse's leg, tense, exciting-shit-scary action. Awe inspiring. And scary. The movie just feels so close to home, like, we're only a few years away from shitting all over the world even worse than we are now. I'd like to think that if (when?) things go to Hell in a handbasket that humans would pull together and help each other. Maybe in some places. But survival of the most desperate is the more likely scenario. Have I lost faith in humanity? Hard to hold onto it when you watch the news sometimes...

I always remember scenes from 28 Days Later, and even the new War of the Worlds, where the human spirit takes a turn for the worst. The scariest scene I've seen in years was in War of the Worlds, when Cruise's character and his kids get stuck on the road, surrounded by the mob. It was scary because there weren't any aliens or heroes around. Just desperate humans.

Crazy man.

Boy. Late night blogging sure is depressing. Heh.

Maybe I'm thinking apocalyptic because I have an audit tomorrow at work. Heh!

Well, let's end on a high note: webswinging high note that is!!
