Last weekend we saw Thank you for Smoking at LSC. I think the guy had a lot of common sense in the way he approached what he did. Sure, we all have jobs we might not like, and we all find ways to justify why we work for them. I recently read some excerpts from Wisnioski's "Engineers and the Intellectual Crisis of Technology" and thought it melded perfectly with what the hero does in the movie. After enough inner dissent, we begin to question why we should apply technology and who benefits. Then we can put things into perspective in relation to how societies should function.
The LSC classic was Some Like it Hot, which coincided with Buro's birthday. It was a terrific movie, and I enjoyed the acting. Its just funny and serious at the same time, and even in black & white, the action is intense. I liked all the intrigue between the four main characters, and even the bad guys looked great. Oh Sugar! The way they all walk in the movie is great, btw. Makes me want to don on some high heels.
Finally, we saw A Scanner Darkly. I enjoyed the movie plot and the rotoscoping, it was really cool. Others I was with did not enjoy it as much, maybe because of the weird plot ( a little disjointed). I liked it because the ideas were cool, and I think that there's a lot of substance behind the idea that nothing is what it seems. The cool, shape-shifting shirts are a neat techie idea too, although a little silly. I enjoyed the acting, and thought the ending was predictable, yet interesting.
