Ok..

I don't know who's been reading Katia and my journals, and would do this sort of thing, but this kind of anonymous post is reprehensible, untrue, and disrespectful to me, Katia, and Ellen.

...at best, it's just not funny at all.

The 'tron speaks!

The Conversatron explains why we were all forsaken!

...wow.

Finally saw Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring!
iamjanjan finished her Cornell MFA application and wanted to celebrate.. I figured I'd have time to finish my homework due tomorrow just about as well between 11pm and class as 8pm and class, so I went.

Daaaamn, that was an incredible movie, probably one of the best I've seen.. and I can't wait for the next installment, and the one after that. (Which, according the the Trivia, have already been filmed.

Also in the trivia is mention of the software that directed the CG battles:

For high-tech tasks, a computer program called MASSIVE made armies of CG orcs, elves, and humans. These digital creations could 'think' and battle independently - identifying friend or foe - thanks to individual fields of vision. Jackson's team could click on one creature in a crowd scene of 20,000 and see through his "eyes". Different species even boast unique fighting styles.

It is reported that on the first run of the fight sequences using the MASSIVE Artificial Intelligence program, the intelligent fighters - programmed to fight in the most efficient manner possible - all turned and ran away.

Impressive, that.)
