Slime molds

So, there is this thing called slime molds.
One type is a unicellular organism most of the time, that is until conditions get rough. Then, it aggregates to form a multicellular organism that looks similar looking to a slug. It then moves away from it’s current environment and begins to form a fruiting body. Some of the cells are sacrificed to for the stalk of the fruiting body. Finally, the fruiting body releases spores, and the cycle starts over. Here a vid of this type of slime mold.

Now, this is completely awesome, but at the same time, completely horrifying. These organisms actually switch between multicellular and unicellular. That’s pretty mindbending. It also doesn’t help that slime molds just look plain horrifying.

It is sucking the life from the very earth.

Also, Star Trek > Star Wars. This is why.

Laser bullets don't even make any sense anyway.

So, just saw Avatar. It was good. Predictable, but still good. There were a few times where I was surprised, mostly in reference to death, where Hollywood movies tend to pussy out. I did find there were some very creative and unique ideas though. Like animal synching.

Also, just a heads up if you haven’t seen it yet, the Colonel is one pile of big man badassery. Need oxygen? Pussy.

By the way, turned on by the female alien? YOU SICK BASTARD. Actually, though, there’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, this is what her character designer said:

Well, he wanted them to be very beautiful. And I do believe that, at some point, he said something to the effect of…the audience has to want to fuck her.

I'm not sure what emotion is being expressed here, so it's a good example of how I feel

I’ve got an experienced concept artist trying to turn me on, and so do you. Of course, I’m still not turned on, because I’m normal, but I could totally understand if you are.

Blue is my favourite colour. Not relevant, just saying.

But, ANYWAY, the movie might spend just a little too much time showing us cool shit and not enough with moving the story forward. I actually got bored of looking at awesome 3D stuff about half way in. And this movie is 3 hours too, that’s the upper limit of the urine retention ability of the human body after drinking a really big Coke. So it was certainly pushing it. Being as this movie took 300 million (yes, that is the right number, and yes, dollars) and years to make, I wouldn’t be surprised if they just felt they had to shove in all the crap they made during that time. Otherwise, what a waste that would be.

Regardless, good film, excellent 3D as well. Technologically stunning, even if the storyline was sometimes a little weak.

Also, you now have a fetish for brain tail sex. Enjoy that. Sick bastard.
