Truthfully, I wouldn't know how

This afternoon was spent at Dura-Europos with [livejournal.com profile] wind05 and Sabitha, or at least at the very fine Yale-BC exhibit thereon. Names like Marcia Aurelia Mat-Tar'atha make me very happy. There were gods mentioned I had never heard of.

Pitch Black (2000) is a surprisingly good little piece of science-fiction survival horror with a successful genre-switch halfway through. I have been warned against the sequel.

For the foreseeable future, I will be in Providence with [livejournal.com profile] greygirlbeast and [livejournal.com profile] humglum, line-editing my eyes out.

I forgot about Daylight Savings.

The sequel had great ideas but poor science and might have worked beautifully if it had been better edited. It does have Dame Judy Dench in a small role, clearly having fun, and apparently the only reason she's in the film is because Mr. Diesel is a complete Judy Dench fanboy and asked her to do it. With lots of bouquets.
