movies i’ve seen
i have been amped about tron legacy since i heard they were making it. the previews look spiffy. i already have my ticket fandango-ed for the friday showing on the imax. i have been listening to the soundtrack (by daft punk) for a good while now. love the soundtrack.
now, the hard part. waiting until friday. is it still weird to everyone else that disney did the original tron?
i can has lightcycle for christmas?
end of line.
i was sitting through the previews of avatar and caught the 3-D clip of an upcoming presentation of the shuttle launch serving hubble for the final time in may of 2009. nasa shot the presentation using imax 3-D cameras. this will debut spring 2010. (http://imax.com/hubble/)
this happens to be the shuttle mission which i got to witness the launch in person. not only did i get to see the launch with my own eyeballs but with this presentation i get to see the up close and 3-D personal of the entire mission on the really big screen. awesome!
christmas 2009 seemed shorter and less like christmas this year than in the past. maybe it was because i felt like i was doing so much as soon as thanksgiving ended until christmas or maybe it was that i didn’t start my traditional christmas music until after our christmas musical, but it was different than past years. we’ll see how christmas goes next year.
i am planning on seeing avatar tomorrow with some pals. i caught this clip on the fox movie channel about the making of the movie. it is actually ironic, i think, that the plot of the movie involves an avatar and the making of the characters as avatars was very similar to the same approach. watch the video below to see how the cg animation is a direct modeling of the actors’ actual acting.
