Happy Father's Day
It's Father's Day today (what little is left of today). Even though my Dad doesn't read this site (actually I don't think he knows it exists) I want to say Happy Father's Day to him. I also found this of interest. The top ten evil big-screen dads. I wouldn't say all of them are evil. Certainly Darth Vader is (even though he repents his evil ways in the last one) and Jack Torrance (from the Shining) is but I wouldn't say Royal (from the Royal Tennenbaums) or Lester Burnham (from American Beauty) are "evil". You judge for yourself.
Matrix on IMAX
The end of the weekend is drawing close and I really wish it wasn't. I could use another day of sleeping in. So I went to see the Matrix: Reloaded on IMAX screen near Toronto on Friday. It was pretty cool. Basically when they make a movie into an IMAX movie they have to redo the sound and do some crazy stuff with the video so that when you watch it the movie is several times larger than a regular movie theater and the sound is phenomenal. Though experiencing the movie in IMAX format was cool it wasn't as cool as I expected it to be. It was bigger and louder but I find that once I'm immersed in a movie at a regular theater I don't notice anything outside of the movie. So for me it was interesting but I don't think I will be going to see the next one (Revolutions) on the IMAX screen.
