Anyway, suddenly life sucks a lot less, and bills can be paid, and cats can go to the vet, and I can get my office in better order, and all manner of things have been made good again.
Very glad to hear that the cats can get the attention that they need to get, and that you might be suffering slightly less during the writing process.
Glad you all could transfer the guild over. I'm just hoping transfers are still open by the time I get home.
Battle: Los Angeles is an oddly forgettable film.
Yeah, I kinda saw it as a rather simple gung-ho military-porn flick. Certainly not really sci-fi, and the movie is without the epic scope of historical war films. This felt like a movie pretty much made for the current generation of American military personnel. It's as if they wanted to make a "kick ass modern war movie about Our Boys", but without the political baggage of being about Afghanistan or Iraq. In fact, it didn't want any baggage at all - other than the Burdens of Leadership. Basically it was the movie about soldiers for soldiers.
Eh. It might have made a decent survival horror movie if they had wanted to play that up, but yeah, no. They went Michael Bay.
