🎬 12 Angry Men

Movie poster for “12 Angry Men”.

Pretty perfect movie, if you ask me. The 12 more or less angry men are all so good. The whole concept of only talking about a murder case after the trial, surfacing ever more details and eliciting more of the jurors characters, was so good. Suspenseful and entertaining. A timeless classic.

🎬 The Blob

Movie poster for “The Blob”.

This was more high-quality than I expected beforehand. Great story, great acting, great visuals, some good humour, and above all: great special effects. Those kills were really fun and well done. My favourite was the whole action in and around the restaurant. When The Blob gets bigger and bigger towards the end, the effect quality sadly suffers quite a bit, and the end itself lacked a little something. But overall, it's been a very entertaining evening!

Geologic Periods

Geologists claim it's because the earlier Cenozoic used to be called the Tertiary, but that's just a ruse to hide the secret third geologic period, between the Neogene and the Quaternary, that they won't tell us about.

Slow Light

Slow Light is an animated short film about a man whose eyes are so dense that light needs seven years to travel across them. Everything he sees happened seven years ago, like a very precise, obligatory memory playback.

I feel like this is related to whether or not you can visualize things in your mind and also Braid, a video game where you can collaborate with your past self. (via colossal)
