soup won't be computerized

sidebar of the people

At Film School there was a huge Transformers fanbase. One guy was 23 & knew enough of the names to use them as call letters for the slate. As in "Scene 1-Autobot, Take 1" for scene 1-A, take 1. Usually you would say Apple or Alpha. Of course B was Bumblebee. He even new the more obscure letters, 'E' anyone? For non-film people, the number is the scene and the letter is the camera set-up or shot. Perhaps it's a sad sign of student production that we got to shot 'Starscream' for a five minute scene. We only had 6 hours to shoot and 'S' means 18 camera setups.

Panel of the Moment
--from Top 15 Unintentionally Funny Comic Book Panels. I'm not sure they're all that unintentional, but the comment for this one ("Rod! Rod! Rod!: I can't tell if she's hoping for it or is suddenly surprised by it") made me laugh. (via Bill the Splut)


Passage of the Moment
[On a Braun Handheld Mixer]
"Is it a classic instrument?"
"What?"
"Is it timeless or is it likely to go out of style in the next... 20 years?"
"I would say it's a new classic. But 20 years is a long time. I think everything is going to be computerized in 20 years."
"Soup won't be computerized."
"Why not?"
"It's a liquid."

Sports of the Moment
Not a good day for me and sports yesterday... Red Sox drop the opener to the frickin' Royals, and then Ohio States completes a matched set of losing the national football AND basketball championship to the Florida Gators. I don't have particularly strong feelings for the Buckeyes, but when you go to an Ohio high school you get exposed to it a bit. Plus, all else being equal, I'll cheer for a cold location over a warm one any day.
