May

May is a very special month for me.  It is the month when we celebrate the birth of one of my favorite people.  I am talking, of course, about John.  Not me.  Because that would be silly.

More about my birthday in a later post (it's not for another week, even though I started celebrating yesterday).  This one is about another reason May is important.  May is Zombie Awareness Month.  So put on a gray ribbon and spread the word!

Avatar

So, the other night I watched Avatar.  It was OK.  Really long, though. 

I slept through lots of the boring John Smith Jake / Pocahontas Neytiri love story.  I think that was the right choice.  The last half hour or so is full of great fighting, including a bunch of blue CGI guys versus a bunch of CGI robot guys. 

In summary, long movie.  If you've only got half an hour, watch the last half an hour.  If you've only got a few seconds but still want to get the gist of it, watch from 1:30 to 1:36 of this.  That pretty much sums it up.
