I AM THE SONG

I am the song that sings the bird.
I am the leaf that grows the land.
I am the tide that moves the moon.
I am the stream that halts the sand.
I am the cloud that drives the storm.
I am the earth that lights the sun.
I am the fire that strikes the stone.
I am the clay that shapes the hand.
I am the word that speaks the man.

2024 Movie Diary, Part 4

10. DEVIL WITH A BLUE DRESS

And to think, this could have been a franchise if it hadn’t been such a flop. Well, I did my part. I paid to see it. And I liked it. It’s a story with depth, relevant context, beautiful production values, and Denzel, as always, is fantastic and easy on the eyes.
Verdict: Stupid 1995 moviegoers.

11. SINK THE BISMARK!

This is a decent WWII film about the British attempt to sink the legendary German battleship Bismarck. Concentrates on logistics more than character, so I found it to be a little unengaging at times, but overall, it was interesting and the cast was good.
Verdict: Pretty good if you like WWII movies, but not exactly memorable.

12. ENDLESS SUMMER

I love the ocean, and love looking at videos of big waves, so I tuned in. The waves aren’t that big, but it’s a fun ride nonetheless, perhaps a little long, but the nostalgia is fun, the scenery is pretty, and the travelogue aspect is more interesting than I thought (and more politically incorrect than you’d ever see in a film today).
Verdict: Not bad.

It’s a fossilpalooza!

They’ve even got that old-school style of mural that virtually every natural history museum has. I’ve never seen one I didn’t LOVE.

A mammoth molar. It’s also a totally mammoth molar.

An ex-whale.

He was a cute little fella.

Saber-tooth vs. horse. From the looks of it, they both lost.

Self portrait with megalodon.
