By the way, they present a fair amount of scientific evidence that the cyclical weather fluctuation is much, much smaller than the pollution-caused weather fluctuation. Yes, ice ages and thaws happen naturally, but the C02 causes it to be much, much worse.

Oh....forgot to mention that I saw the Snakes on a Plane trailer when I went to X-3. Feaky Tiki's avatar reminded me. Looks perfect for all the aerophidiophobics out there.

I also saw a trailer for a kind of funny looking movie called "My Super Ex Girlfriend".

I swear, I'm almost more excited for Snakes on a Plane, than I am for Dead Man's Chest.

Its going to be wicked awesome

I hear from an unnamed source that it is, in fact, not very good at all.

I'm not surprised.

Have you ever noticed how a movie trailer is an artform all by itself? Movie trailers can make any movie look like it's going to be great. Often a highlight for me at the movies is seeing some great trailers. Love it.

Not surprising. It just looked like a pretty funny premise, and almost any movie can look good in a trailer.

Conversely, any movie can look bad in a trailer.

I don't think any of the Pixar trailers have been too inviting, but the films have been great. The Cars trailers actually repluse me, but the buzz on the film is excellent.

We watched the BBC masterpiece theater production of David Copperfield last night, the one with Daniel Radcliffe and the woman that plays Prof. McGonagal. It was pretty darn good. I haven't watched the ending yet, so don't tell me what happens.

And David Copperfield ends this way

Spoiler:

And now, as I close my task, subduing my desire to linger yet, these faces fade away. But one face, shining on me like a Heavenly light by which I see all other objects, is above them and beyond them all. And that remains.

I turn my head, and see it, in its beautiful serenity, beside me.

My lamp burns low, and I have written far into the night; but the dear presence, without which I were nothing, bears me company.

O Agnes, O my soul, so may thy face be by me when I close my life indeed; so may I, when realities are melting from me, like the shadows which I now dismiss, still find thee near me, pointing upward!
