Cameron's Thoughts

Now, I'll start by saying I am not real big on watching children's movies. But, there are a few I do like such as the Lion King and Shrek. But, Saturday night after work, Nickcole and I decided to go to the movies. There wasn't really any outstanding movies playing, but I noticed that there was a 3D version of the Polar Express playing at the IMAX theater. I have never been the IMAX as it has mostly had movies that I haven't wanted to see. And anything I did want to see was just a normal movie blown up for the bigger screen. But, based on the previews, I knew the Polar Express had some pretty impressive animations, and to see it in 3D would make it worthwhile to pay the extra charge for going to the IMAX. Now, this wasn't cheap. At the Celebration Cinema in Lansing, it was $12 a ticket for adults. But, it was definitely worth it. I could not only believe how good they made the characters look in the movie, but the 3D was sooooo good. Every little detail was 3D. I was afraid it was going to be something where the 3D was an afterthought and they just had some parts where it looked good, but I am certain that the movie was made with the 3D in mind. Some scenes such as the roller coaster type ride seemed so real. It almost felt like you were really on a roller coaster. The snow looked like it was coming down in the theater. And a couple scenes where there were flybys of train were impressive.
If you just want to see this movie, watch it in a normal theater, if you want to experience this movie, watch it in the IMAX.

A new web site has popped up, in response to http://www.sorryeverybody.com that I mentioned in my last post

This explains alot.

States ordered by IQ and who they voted for. Seems to be a bit of a pattern.

IQ and Politics

Now that the presidential election has been decided, it comes with much disappointment with the outcome and fear that over half of the people that live in this country actually wanted Bush to continue as President. I have trouble putting into words how I feel about this, so I have provided links to posts by Russell Beattie and Shaun McGill. They have both provided very good points of view and I agree with their opinions.

Shaun's posting on Outspoken:
Time to step back

Russell's posting on his Notebook:
More than disappointed

Maybe I am not being optimistic, but just looking at CNN's election info, there are way to many states that are red(indicating that Bush is projected to win). I really hope California with it's 55 electoral votes comes and gives Kerry a boast. He is really going to need it. I guess only 22% of precincts have reported yet, so with the race being so close, maybe some other states will turn around too.

I Voted... Did You?
I voted earlier today and fulfilled my duties for today. I certainly didn't vote for Bush, but I not saying who I did vote for . (And no, Neil, I didn't vote for Badnarik either).
I hope everyone in the US who is able to gets out and votes today as this could be one of the most important decisions of the next four years.
