yay! weekend!

This is going to be the first good weekend in a while. Tomorrow, we have the Houston Auto Show (one of the true highlights of my year), Rockets Run 2008, and the Rockets game against the Utah Jazz. Cars, basketball, and walking for charity. Yay!

To keep you in suspense until then, here is an inside-look (literally) at my eyes. This was from my visit to the eye doc yesterday:

Also, on a side not about Cloverfield…(spoiler warning, click at your own risk)

J.J. Abrams, part of me wants to congratulate you. The other part of me wishes the coffee on my desk was still hot so I could throw it in your face. The idea to shoot the movie with handy cams was novel, yes. Your advertising campaign, full of teasers, and your viral media campaign left everyone wanting more. But after watching your movie (and wanting to throw up about 10 times due to motion sickness, I might add) I was left wondering… “What the fuck?!” Are you seriously leaving us to draw our own conclusions? We all want to know: What was the monster? Where did it come from? If you are setting this up for a sequel, I will be extremely disappointed. Are the no more ideas left in Hollywood?

After some further internet research, it looks the monster was in the ocean. At the end of the movie, you see a satellite fall into the ocean and that is what woke the monster. Not sure if that makes sense with the time line though. Wasn’t the part shot at Coney Island weeks (or at least a week) before their going away party? There are also talks of a sequel from a different point of view. Oh hooray.
