Interestingly enough, on the plane I was playing Command and Conquer: Generals. I was playing as the GLA - <i>Global Liberation Army</i> - better known as <i>the terrorists</i>!

Little things, perfectly natural things are starting to make me suspicious. I've always been a bit paranoid; not lock-me-up paranoid, more so extremely-cautious-was-that-someone-watching-me paranoid.

Quick question for you all - if sanity is defined by the norm, and the majority are insane, and assuming you are in the minority, are you insane?

It is based on a book by Ted Dekker, a guy who my mother grew up with. It is a very good book, and the movie actually turned out quite well, especially since books-turned-movie can have the tendency to implode with suckiness or not be like the book at all. For example, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - it is nothing like the book! The book is way better.

Anyways, the movie strayed from the book a little, but within acceptable terms. The beginning wasn't so good, it went through too much too fast, but the ending was excellent.

It is a good movie, worth dropping 5$USD to go see.

Do you ever get lost in time while animating?

Hmmm… the movie looks kind of low budget. I don't think they show those kinds of movies at my local theater.

I don't animate.

Heck, I can barely draw single-frame images…

The sanity you're talking about isn't defined by the norm; but simply by the way your brain is. "was that person watching me" as a "caution" is a reaction that that is unjusitfied, and therefore, crazy.

It isn't the norm, because it is not required to be, and if it was the norm, it would simply inhibit your ability to live life, as you would be constantly looking over your shoulder.

I get lost all the time while doing anything. One second it's 10:00 in the morning and the next thing I know, it's 10:00 at night and I've got about 20 more scripts. =O

I liked the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie, even though I read the book first and loved it. Sure, it changes some stuff, but it's a great film, I think.

Yup, I lose lots of time in animating. And define "Sane" in this absolutly screwed up world of ours. If you can, I'll give ya a cookie. =D

A movie is rarely as good as the book. Look at Lord of The Rings. The movies wheren't bad.. But still the books where better. Because when you read a book, your own imagination makes it as cool or as exiting as you want it to be. So then when you have read the book and see the movie… And it looks nothing like you had in mind.. Then its a bummer.

And about the time.. yeah time is a strange thing.. Time always goes fast if you DONT want it to.. and If you DO want it to go fast… It like, almost stops or something. Like when you are waiting for a bus or whatever. I dont think time always progresses with the same speed.. Its just the situation. And hereby you can include me in the SANE/INSANE discusion but then again what IS sanity? Just like what is NORMAL? No one is NORMAL because we are all individuals… "YES WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS!!!"… "no Im not" - Monty python's "Life of Brian" and i thereby want to end this comment.

It's better to be a bit crazy than a bit sane, says me!

Now excuse me, I need some aluminum foil, I think they're reading my mind again… ^^

Time is irrelevant when programming.
