Paycheck: One hell of a movie
If you rent one DVD this weekend, rent John Woo's Paycheck, featuring Uma Thurman and Ben Affleck.
Basically, it's an awesome near-future science-fiction affair mixed with a bit of intrigue, espionage, and of course, action. (It's a John Woo movie. Whaddya expect except AWESOME?) The acting is solid, the action is, well, action-packed, and the sci-fi portion has my geek side intrigued. I'd say more, but spoilers aren't any fun.
Anyways, go rent the DVD, preferably widescreen (but I was stuck with fullscreen). I can't say anything much in the way of extras, but at least they give you the option of skipping over the trailers first. Extra points for that one.
In other news, my brother has picked up the zealot torch yet again, proving yesterday morning that he is fully capable of being a hardcore Nazi when it comes to differing opinions. Here's the story.
So, here I am, sitting in the kitchen, passing the extra half-hour by conversing with my brother. The subject somehow turns to those quirky scientific theories relating to universes with either more or less dimensions than our own. (We're 3D, they're 4D, for example.) So, what does he tell me?
"That's against the Bible. God doesn't say anything about it, so it's not true."
>_< OMFG WOW. How do you come up with something like that? Sure, it isn't mentioned in the Bible. But neither is any one of the typical facets of modern living, including indoor plumbing! Last time I checked, he wasn't against taking a visit to the porcelain throne every once in a while for religious reasons (any, for that matter)!
"God may have never said they exist, but he never said they don't, either. This also extends to everything else." That was my reply, which left him thinking until the bus came.
You know you should stop reading the Hagakure when you start saying "this extends to everything else" on a daily basis. The Hagakure, by the way, is a very interesting read which I would recommend to anyone. And I do mean anyone. Except for my brother, who also found the Hagakure to "conflict with his religious beliefs". He does a lot of spiritual reflection for a thirteen-year-old seventh-grader, doesn't he?
Until next time, kids.
