Gravity (2013, Movie)

There was no reason for the separation of Clooney & Bullock when she's hanging from the parachute cords--they are at rest relative to the space station. There was NO reason for George to sacrifice himself...he was stationary with respect to the station and letting him go would not have given him thrust from her...just dumb.

Singing little Mockingbird, 04/27/2014

聒噪的小鳥, 奮力鶯啼宛轉, 仍然曲高和寡, 可惜無緣識荊.

HALO Legends (2009, Movie)

Basically, this is a collection of animated short films that take place in the Halo Universe or Haloverse. Each story focuses on a different set of characters and plots. The introduction of the "Flood" as an invasive life form just complicated an already preachy and complicated tale. The first two episodes were the worst, and then it entered an impressionistic portrayal of the collective life style.  I didn't find them entertaining nor informative.

Love Illuminated -- by Daniel Jones, Editor of the New York Times Modern Love Column

The following quote is from Daniel Jones "Exploring Life's Most Mystifying Subject (With the Help of 50,000 Strangers)":

"We talk about 'falling' in love, as if all the process involves is finding the right person, stepping off the ledge, and letting gravity do its thing. But for many, love is more about finding a right-ish person and then trying to figure out if what the two of you have together is enough or not. There seem to be, in short, two kinds of love -- the kind you can't deny and the kind you eventually come around to. In terms of relationship durability, neither kind seems any more promising than the other. The swooning couple who can't keep their hands off each other might crash and burn in year two or five of marriage, while the deliberative couple that belabored their decision for years may stay together, happily, forever. It's just that those in the first group feel confident about their love going in, and those in the second group don't. So they need to weigh pros and cons and talk about it a lot and seek the guidance of others."
