I think I may have figured out a pretty decent argument, regarding the understanding/acceptance of paradox and "contradiction," in the universe. So that's nice.

Tips sucked, at work.

Got second, at trivia.

Best team name of the night (not ours): "If you Kanye me again, I'll Chris Brown the shit out of you."

Longer day tomorrow. Time for bed.

[Oh, and 9 seems to be one of those movies people either love or hate, but nothing in between. For those who hate it: Why do you hate it? ]

Wow, I love that trivia team name. Do I get bonus points if I say that in a meeting with my boss this week?

ABSOLUTELY.

Fuck that, I'm in between. Or, I was with the movie right up until the end. The ending I would have liked would have been finding the bodies and putting the souls back into the physical, transfer, which had prerequisite in the movie twice. Human-Doll. Doll-Machine. No fucking reason to not do it again. Thought that the whole souls make single cell organisms was kinda weak. And the whole "this world is ours and what we make of it" with 4/9ths of a human soul, 3/4th of which are females, was kinda "Okay, our world is crap and lets figure out what the fuck we're suppose to do with it." Not the uplifting message of hope I was hoping for.

Leo, on the other hand, literally said "well at least the didn't puss out and reanimate the bodies, that would have been ultimate cheese." So, we're a bit on opposites, but neither of us really liked the ending.

Didn't hear that it was suppose to be original. I mean, damn, shit's just post-apocalyptic little big planet, how original is that? But it was what it was, and what it was was creepy, beautifully animated, and well acted. The story was interesting, while only explaining basically what the dolls learned, never more--including what the fuck happened to 4, which kept to its framework, so it was what it was. It wasn't horrible, I just would have preferred a different ending.

Not speaking from my own experience here, but a friend of mine who's taste in science fiction cinema I trust - my first D&D Game Master, come to that - said that he thought it had an interesting premise, likeable characters, but was otherwise a class 5 hurricane of cliches.

YMM of course V, and I haven't seen it, but that was his impression.

Oh, yeah? Are we going to see this anytime soon?

Also, 'It exists. Deal.' is a good response, IMO, but not very academic in it's argument.

That's pretty much what my argument boils down to, yeah ;)
