28 Weeks Later
I finally watched 28 Weeks Later. It was probably one of the best horror movies I’ve seen in a long time. I’m a little biased because the zombie genre is my favorite among the horror genres. You can say this movie isn’t a zombie movie, but it has zombie themes.
I actually liked this movie better than 28 Days Later. Except I didn’t like the shaky camera work, the plot holes, and the stupidity of the U.S. Army portrayed in the film. I just felt the first movie was too slow. The second movie is more American, faster paced movie.
I guess I’m becoming more American in my movie tastes. I can’t stand those slow-paced foreign films anymore.
CMU Professor Randy Pausch’s ‘Last Lecture’
This video has been going around the Internet lately. It’s the last lecture of Randy Pausch. Randy is a CMU professor who is dying of pancreatic cancer.
All the comments and buzz on the Internet wrote how great and inspirational the lecture is. I didn’t really care because I’ve heard lots of inspirational stuff. So I thought I was pretty jaded. But I finally caught the first 9 minutes of it at Youtube and it’s phenomenal. I had to watch the rest after that. One interesting thing to note that was he gave props to my old Computer Animation professor who now works at CMU. That was pretty cool.
Anyway, watch it if you have the time. It’s 1.5 hours long. You can “watch it at Youtube by clicking here.”:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HqdnjgkExY
