Day 3.193: Change the laws of Physics?

After the dance last week, we left before the post-show talk, choosing instead to look around this exhibition of dance photography by the amazing Lois Greenfield. As well as lots of photos, there was a video playing with her talking about her work. At some point she pointed out that her photographs do not merely record the dance, but make visible things that otherwise could not be seen by freezing time. Mind-bending.

But that was nothing compared with our evening tonight. We went to see Inception. What a head-rush! An intelligent blockbuster - who knew such things were still possible in 2010? We also saw the trailer for the final Harry Potter movie(s) and Tron Legacy - from the sublime to the but-we-can-do-it-so-much-better-now-culous.

  1. Tron - Wow! That was one of the films that my dad and I saw with a tiny handful of others at our local cinema! I don't think it was the one we arrived late for and the cinema played the start again for us since we were the only people there! If I remember rightly, "War Games" gets that honour! Not sure I now need to see Tron's Legacy though. Do let us know if you make it! N

  2. I doubt we'll be making one of our rare trips to see it - this was the trailer we saw yesterday.

  3. The trailer looks better than the original though!

  4. I'm sure it's a film inspired by film-making technology, but at least it's not just a re-make. Inception, on the other hand, must make a lot of use of modern film-making technology, but it doesn't dominate - just enables the story to be told.
