Butterfly Effect!

I wish I hadn't gone to see this. I wish I had waited for the DVD. Why? buterflyeffect Because if I had waited for the DVD I could replay the few scenes I had questions about over and over again. And more importantly I could see the deleted scenes; I'm certain there are at least two and they would answer my other few questions. Why? Becuase the movie takes care of all the little details and I'm sure they didn't forget these few, I figure they were editied out and I have to know the rest because I enjoyed this movie so much. BUT it's not even out on DVD yet! This was a great flick.

You need to understand two things: Chaos Theory and Time Travel (both relativly simple concepts, not).

  1. Time travel - If you travel into the past don't interfere with anything you may screw up the future. I.E. don't go to watch your parents meet for the first time since just being there to observe you may do something to influence the outcome. (Almost a Heisenberg/Schroding dilemma which is you will influence the outcome).
  2. Chaos Theory - It is said that the flapping of a butterfly's wings in Chicago can create a hurricane in Peking. I.E. If you stop and buy gum on the way to watch your parents meet, it may be the last pack of gum that your mother-to-be can't buy and now when she meets your dad-to-be she has bad breath and he doesn't ask her out and you vanish in a puff of smoke.

It's a great movie, it's my favorite movie concept, time-travel, and as such it offers many what ifs. The only downside, it was kind of violent and I almost want to say it was in an unnecessary way, but I'm sure that without it, it might have changed how I viewed the movie.

I have to also say I laughed the absolute hardest I've ever laughed in a movie in my life. One scene was so ironic it hit me all the way to my funny bone. I hope I used ironic correctly (I think it's ironic that most people use the word ironic incorrectly, I hope I used it right the third time too).

Daylight Savings Time - Bah Humbug!

My body has a natural rhythm or at least it's supposed to. Messing around with my internal clock doesn't help. Here I am knowing I need to sleep but my body is really telling me it's an hour earlier (because it is). I think the daylight savings time thing is just a money making scheme made up by Hallmark and all the other greeting card companies! And it's the people who have to suffer because of it!
