    I am about an hour and 20 minutes into it. I would say that the animation is fantastic - visually it is beautiful. The sound mix is great and is really filling the room. The story is meh - I am approaching this from a ‘low mental effort US action film’ point of view and I think I’ll be ok to watch to the end.

    The thing that is bugging me the most is that they haven’t even tried to come up with an alien point of view. The characters might as well be human, and American at that.

    I have no idea why James Cameron thought this needed to be 3hrs long. If a film goes over 2hrs it really needs to be a mini-series.





  • I had to get my wedding ring resized to a smaller fit, as I kept flinging it across the room whenever I was wildly gesticulating. It’s now about the right size, although my finger has a wild range of circumference depending on the weather. Today it’s about right, but in winter I can still accidentally turn my ring into a projectile.

    TIL: gesticulating is spelt with a g, not a j.


  • The radio is telling me there are lots of things on in the Bristol area today, including Southmead Festival, Chipping Sodbury Festival, Bath Carnival, and Bristol Pride.

    Unfortunately the weather is looking not so good, and if i starts raining in the next hour or so then I might just potter around the house.

    We are going out to a posh restaurant for dinner this evening.
