Today I went to see Mighty Joe Young with
my Dad and Joe of course ... I know
the movie was cheesy but you know
what I really enjoyed it and I even
cried when I thought the big ape was
dead.
We went to culvers after the movie and
that was equaly nice... we were
thinking of going to Olive Garden and
I know they have better food but
there is alot to be said for just a
burger and fries ... everything tasted
real good and I am nice and full ...
but my mom made stew and green Jellow
with celery and cherries and walnuts
and man I have been hungry for both
of those for months.. and I know she
went through alot to make them for me.
so I might sneak a little even
though I have really had enough to eat
... maybe this is why I am fat :) I
can be a glutton :) hehe well ever
since Christmas I have been eating like a
pig but that will stop once I run
out of left overs and we go back to
our old ridiculous habit of eating one
meal a day ....
The ape in the movie looked great
that was one of the things that made
it so enjoyable I think it was a
pupet instead of computer generated and
that just makes such a difference ... I
mean for lizard scales and the like
nothing can beat a computers touch here
and there but for fur or soft flesh
that dosn't have reflections and
morphing capibility I think the physical
limitations of pupetry and the
inherant anatomical structure a pupet must
have lends so much to a film .... of
course you can take that the wrong
direction and have electric switches and
airsacks that seem just as lifeless ....
but I think i would prefer that to
computer effects used in inappropriate
ways . My foot is asleep .... yikes...
