So sweet.

"Roll camera." Heh.

Good timing, too. It's been playing in my car the past two days.

I haven't listened to the cd in a month at least. Interesting process, though, yeah?

It'd been a while for me, too, but just felt like listening the other day. I was wondering to myself if it would still sound new. It kind of did, but not so shiny as at first. Still rocks my socks, though.

Very! Makes you wonder if this will start a trend of if it will remain one of a kind.

I rather enjoyed that, but then again, House of Cards, whatever its format would be pretty hard to not enjoy.

The creative process itself was more interesting to me than the end visual result, I have to say. I'm sure it'll be improved upon soon.

We used and experimented with stuff like this when I was working for Ford. Certainly we had a less refined scanner to plot out the geometry of cars in order to get them into the computers from CFD analysis, but we also experimented with pressure sensitive paints that glowed under ultraviolet light during wind tunnel test.

Long story short, the technique they are using has been around for a long time, the computers are simply powerful enough now to enable real time, digital recording of motion.

That sounds totally fun. Now I'm imagining cars with neon-like glowing bodies speeding through dark tunnels.

What have you done?! I've finally finished reading Brideshead Revisited and was curious about the film, knowing that it's supposed to make more out of the 'romance' and all. From the trailer, it's totally off the mark, just completely in another direction. However can I watch it now without waiting, I don't know, an entire year or something first?!

*facepalm*

I've got two pages marked here...
"But Bridey, where did you find her?"
"Her late husband, Admiral Muspratt, collected match-boxes," he said with complete gravity.
Julia trembled on the verge of laughter...

Which is just fine since I laughed out loud for her.

and

"Let's get this clear," I said; "he has to make an act of will; he has to be contrite and wish to be reconciled; is that right? But only God knows whether he has really made an act of will; the priest can't tell; and if there isn't a priest there, and he makes the act of will alone, that's as good as if there were a priest. And it's quite possible that the will may still be working when a man is too weak to ( ... )

Hahaha!

I'm not sure I want to watch the movie, especially after this fine miniseries with Jeremy Irons and Anthony Andrews as Charles and Sebastian. Highly recommended.

Yeah, F. Scott Fitzgerald's observations on the decadence of privileged Americans in tbe 1920s is kind of what Evelyn Waugh did with the English aristocracy.

Glad you're getting such a kick out of this. :P

Yeah, saw that this was out there, too. Guess I'll be checking that out instead of the film. I'll go through Sebastian withdrawal without it.

In the mean time, going back to reading Christie's They Mysterious Mr. Quin. :]
