Recently saw Cars and Pirates of the Carribbean 2. I enjoyed them both. At Siggraph this year, I got to attend the talk about how they made the road from Cars look all beat up. Also, saw some of the animation effects of Davy Jones' beard in the Animation Theater. That was tres awesome.
Tonight we saw The Hurt Locker at LSC. War movies are not my favorite genre, and I was afraid to watch some parts of it. There were more than a handful of intense scenes that required me to shield my eyes. I thought the actor and drama was really riveting, the character development of the main character was fascinating. It is clear that sometimes, people get addicted to doing something they feel is important and they get a high from it. However, once you have a social responsibility, it seems like it can't end well if you give up your passion for a stable life. It was definitely an interesting movie, and shows that there are a lot of tough choices to be made for people who are exceptionally talented.
