NorthStar. You certainly win the "Most Movies Watched' award.
Is there a day that goes by that you don't? I think I'm jealous![]()
Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first
There are 365 days in a year. Perhaps 60 of them are without watching a flick.
That is not that many at all when you consider the incredible amount of great films made in the world for the last hundred years.
Also, we are now into the world of Blu-ray (since 2006); with hi def picture and hi res sound.
And that counts for something as well.
Life is short, and the history of Cinema is a passionate one indeed, and in my own personal life.
Cinema is an Art, and with it a full vision on man's evolution ... It's like a window through man's history and with all life's philosophy and psychology. ...It is a school of thought, a tremendous learning experience. ...You know what I mean ....

Saw 'Contagian' last night on HBO. Good flick, as much a chatty discussion piece about the relations between big pharma, big government, public hysteria, homeland security etc. etc. as it was a movie. Kinna fun watching big stars croaking in hideous manner and getting autopsied or buried in mass graves.
The movie decided to end upbeat, and collapsed the timetable for vaccines conspicuously over what could actually be accomplished in real life, so it took several movie liberties in that regard. It did suggest the logjams and helplessness implied by the epidemic, without exploring the most dire consequences of such but giving strong suggestions of such.
I think it would have been more fun if the scientist who discovered the vaccine and administered the vaccine to herself first was shown collapsing dead in her isolation suit, after the vaccine had already been distributed to the public, just before the end credits rolled.
The "nobody gets out alive" ethic of modern horror movies has made me an armchair sadist.
