Boozer's Revision
A bird in the hand is dead.
Not much to write today.
Got around to deciding the rough hardware architecture of one of the modules to be implemented in my project. (A superficial sign of relief needed here).
Saw two movies in the past two days -
The Medallion and
Equilibrium (2002).
The Medallion is a nice comedy film. Starring the ever so famous
Jackie Chan and the not so famous
Claire Forlani (There was no other film in which she stars, apart from Anti-trust, that I have seen). The movie is like a typical Jackie movie that I have seen. Full of stupendifyying stunts, actional comedy or comical actions, mind blowing twists and turns by the camera (and not the storyline) and some amazing fight scenes. Whats different about the movie is that Jackie attains superhuman (also read superman) powers and the directors combine this fluently with his amazing acrobatic stunts. Whats bad about this movie is that, even though it is about 1h and 20 minutes, it runs too fast, and slightly disjointed for my taste. It literally seems to jump scenes, just like Jackie. A good movie overall.
The Equilibrium, on the other hand, is a different genre of movie by itself. It seemingly combines science fiction with extreme action; Mind you, it is not a movie fr the faint hearted. Starring
Christian Bale and
Taye Diggs (of
Ally McBeal fame) with a tagline of
In a future where freedom is outlawed outlaws will become heroes.
It is a slick movie, packed with a lot of amazing action sequences involving mind numbingly impossible gun fights and supreb choreography; Especially the last 10 minute action seqence is beyond compare. If you can get past all that blinding action to the core of the movie - the resistance of the attempt to remove all sensory feelings and emotions - therein lies the true meaning and the message of the movie. The movie is slick, fast-paced and the last half-hour will keep you pinned to your seats. Filled with a scitech and spartan environment, it is a movie worth seeing to pass time (though it si notoriously difficult to get - I dont think it was even released in India).
Apart from that, went to a treat given by one of my friends when he got his job, at Dhabha Express in
Beasant Nagar. Which reminds me, there are many people out there and out here to whom I owe a treat.
Was also browsing through
Digital Blasphemy. Veteran users of it must surely know of the high quality 3D images - Flourescence, Sky Song, Singularity, Thetis moon, Satori and all that. For others, this site contains some amazing 3D images, seriously [I ran out of adjectives here]. For example, here is a teaser of the Flourescence image.
If you are fanatic about such images, do try that site out. They have some amaaaziiing wall-papers.
