The Martian, by (andy weir!) and movie by (ridley scott!)
on monday night i stood in front of the redbox at the local Safeway and over-used my index finger sliding through movie selection after movie selection, with such a hunger to get lost in someone elses story. ...slide... slide...slide...
-nothin'
went home empty handed.
then last night -without even asking or suggesting, my nephew sets up the tv -somehow, and asks me if i want to watch the martian.
"Yes Please!". -my sister gave it rave reviews.. -had seen it with Matt and so, he was watching for a second time.
-that's its own testimony; sitting through a movie more than once..
and -DIRECT HIT! ... 15 minutes in, I was aware 'this is so my kind of movie!'. -glued.
very well directed; edited; executed... great film! and im trusting, without knowing, that this film is up for something.. some big award/recognition at the upcoming oscars
~where you will be seeing (me!) on the red carpet with my russell crowe
once that movie gets made.

and it would take more time and energy than I have to share in detail the variety of thoughts and imaginations this movie inspired in me throughout its beautiful unfolding, but
one: -i remembered when the blogosphere opened.. and i was able to see.. there was a large population of people who DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING NEW with the new potential of this platform..
essentially they just moved their writing and advertising and same rules/regulations.. same business models, same everything, from printed paper to a blog.
what a waste!
and in my imagination, i thought.. please.. if humanity is presented with the revolutionary opportunity to populate another planet..
please! do not let us just do all the same stupid things we are doing here. -staying the same but just moving to a new location.
please! let it serve as an opportunity to grow and evolve and do new and improved things...
-for this I sure do frequently pray in Jesus name, -amen.
