Offtopic: September 2005 Archives
Have you ever been handed a wrapped present and told you couldn't open it until Christmas? That's how I felt waiting for the movie Serenity. After waiting a year for this movie, movie executives pushed it back further to September 30 to avoid going head to head with Star Wars and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. More waiting. During the waiting, I was teased by several preview showings in DC, but word of these showings always spread slower than the ticket sales. So again I was forced to wait.
Today was finally the day that I was able to see the movie I've waited so long for. And it was worth it. The movie serenity is based on characters from a short-lived Fox TV series Firefly. During the series, I grew to love these characters. After watching the movie, I would say that it is accessable to those who have not seen the series as well. Great flick. Go see it. Then go see it again. :)
When disasters occur some people look for people to blame. Some people give into looting. Other people have a can-do spirit and get things done.
I wish that certain bloggers would stop trying to politicize hurricane Katrina. Or even trivialize it by pretending it should already be fixed. We have an major hurricane with a 200 mile wide path of destruction.
