"That must've been a horrible day for them..."

Meh. Font color isn't working again. To the first person who reads this who is a Curly Fry, can you change the font color? I don't know why it's not showing up for me. :/

So anyway, I just finished watching King Kong with meine Mutter. It was... intense. And very long. 3 hours and 8 minutes.

It also reminded me a lot of Titanic. (Despite the fact that when they were getting on the ship to discover Skull Island, Titanic was right behind them.) It also was the same amount of time, and the same type of weather, when they crashed into the island and when Titanic crashed into the iceberg. Of course, King Kong is fictional... The ending is also the same. Spoiler alert: King Kong falls off the top of the building pretty much the same way as Jack fell into the ocean. Oh yeah, and Ann (the "Damsel in Distress") had a second love appeal named Jack. And they took place around the same time? It was just so coincidental. However, it was a FANTASTIC movie!

Well... almost fantastic. First off, I have come to the conclusion that no movie producer has ever passed physical science class. Anything that freaking big can NOT move that freaking fast. It's not possible in any way shape or form. Now maybe their strides CAN be that big, but there is no way that it can really run faster than a cheetah. And cheetah's are fast. It's the same thing for cells, the bigger they are, the more time things take to get to the middle. (Surface-area ratio or something like that?) Same thing with multi-cellular organisms: the bigger the animal, the more time it takes for the brain to react to a nervous signal.

And that was Carrie's science lesson of the day. Even though it's Saturday.

Another thing I didn't understand was why, when people are running frantically away from something that's gonna eat them, why they don't hide under a rock or something. Dig a hole, anything. But nooooo, they have to keep running and get themselves killed! Dumbbutts.
I would've hid.

Okay, well, I hope EVERYBODY had a fantastic Thanksgiving. :) And that you are thankful for everything in your lives. <3
DFTBA!♥

Smiles, hugs, and lots of love,
Carrie

  1. I know, right? Movie science always has things wrong with it. That's probably why we have to suspend our disbelief. ^.^

    I fixed the color for you. :) Maybe the reason why the font color isn't showing up is because you're writing the post in the HTML mode instead of the regular mode? *shrug*

  2. That would make so much sense, thank you! :) I will definitely remember that next week. -C
