Today we watched an assortment of movie trailers in SS. It was actually really fun to see the best parts of every good movie that we have suggested.
We watched 2001 A Space Odyssey in AS. I thought the movie was really well made, because it obviously is going to culminate (it hasn't yet). The huge shift in time from the primitive ape-like humans to the technologically advanced, futuristic humans really showed how huge a step the ape took when he used a bone as a weapon and tool, which led to the existence of these advanced spacecraft. However, I found the slow movements of the spacecraft extremely annoying and hard to tolerate. I think they're just showing off the 1960s digital renderings (which are pretty good for that time period). The filming technique was really really good. The camera seemed to defy gravity. It's almost magical how the person walks in a loop with constant gravity. I look forward to finishing the movie.
In the afternoon, nothing happened that's worth talking about.
