The Butterfly Effect...

The Usual Suspects is a serious notch above BE ... as for Se7en ... I watched it once a while ago, didn't strike me as being truly exceptional ... may have to watch it again.

I just saw Equilibrium yesterday, was pleasantly surprised. A well thought out flick, with interesting storyline. Kinda like Minority Report, better or worse depending on the aspects ...

 

Term from nonlinear dynamics / chaos theory

Never heard of it...

 

If you have any interest in philosophy, yes philosophy, you need to read a book called "Chaos." I can't remember the author's name. This is deep, deep stuff. Every day, we peel another layer off the onion.

Dr "Who Knows?" Who

 

James Gleick - his bestseller "Chaos: Making A New Science" probably started, or certainly helped start, the interest in the general population on the topic of Chaos theory.

Excerpt from his prologue at http://www.drawingdownthemoon.com/main/chaos.html
a link which is about the movie "Drawing Down the Moon" which is a movie about chaos...and the eternal golden braid restarts...oh that's a different book (philosophical enough, Doc? <g>)

 

LOL

 

I could have sworn i posted in this tread before. Hrmm. Either way Butterfly effect was great. I rented it thinking of it as just a means to waste some time but ended up loving it and bought it. Oh yea and I hated Napoleon Dynamite. God I want that time back.

 

Don't get the fuss about Napoleon Dynamite either. Sure it can be entertaining at times ... but nothing more. I'm glad I just downloaded it. Already deleted! lol

 

I'm sorry, but that was one of the most mindless movies I have ever seen. It borders on the stupidity presented by Zoolander - except Zoolander was actually funny. I laughed maybe three times in ND...the rest was spent wondering why I am wasting time watching it.

 

ND kicks major arse. trapper keepers rule!
