As a bit of a counterpoint to yesterday’s daytime activities at Kiwicon II, I gave the tokemon hacking drinking game a miss and went to see Earth with Kate at the Penthouse in Brooklyn. I’m more of a hacktivist that a technically knowledgable person – I wouldn’t have a clue – though would love to learn should someone find this post and be willing to take me under their wing.
Earth is a beautiful film which I found stirring. Not so much for the undeniably stunning way the animals were portrayed on screen, but for the moving images of our Earth pacing through it’s seasons. The most disturbing thing though was the woman behind me as the credits rolled who complained,
‘They always say that it’s humans’ fault that this is happening and that we can do something about it. What can we do? ….. Oh, don’t lecture me! I just don’t think we can do anything.’
I have to wonder what the hell she was doing at the film. Granted, there was a lot more ooohing and aaaahing at the cute baby animals and booing of the carnivores as they hunted, but I was just dumbfounded.
