[Being both the content vulture and farmer obsessionist that he is, Bitscape attempts his first real "write content while movie runs" bit of content. Although most of the content probably won't be about the movie.]
Interview with the Vampire, in its full Dolby Digital 5.1 glory. Haha!
When I arrived home a few moments ago, I discovered Argo completely powered down. Illian also.
...
And you thought those inline lyrics were annoying. Haha! Bitscape's Lounge: Innovating new ways to annoy readers with every passing day!
As I was saying, the PC hardware was all down, but the I noted that the receiveer was up, and the lights came on. A power outage sometime during the day. And that damn ATX lack of a real power switch. In that aspect, ATX is most certainly a step back from previous case designs, where the hard wired switch would mean that if it was set to "on", and there was power coming in, the PC would be.. well, on! :)
...
Damn! That moment when Lestat first bites Louis, the decibel level in the left rear totally surged for a moment. I just about jumped out of my seat. This is truly the way to watch movies.
...
Today, my spirits at work got a boost when I had the opportunity to do a little hardware tinkering. Cool indeed. I would expound a bit more, but NDA's being what they are...
Ate a yummy lunch at Chipotle's with the sometimes dwindling crowd from the office (today there were 4, myself included). Twas good. Methinks I might have to stop eating those tempting breakfasts though, because I often times find that when noon comes, I want to eat with the crowd, but my stomach just ain't quite there. Today, I had both breakfast and lunch, and I'm not the least bit hungry now. 3 meals a day is too much. Methinks 2 would be slightly more suitable as far as the body is concerned, although perhaps not quite as easy to schedule.
Girl: "You'll let me go? I can't die like this. I need a priest."
Lestat: "My friend is a priest. He'll hear your sins before you die. Unless, I make her one of us?"
Louis: "No!"
Lestat: "Then take her Louis. End her suffering! End yours!"
Louis: "No."
That's gotta be the most spine tingling scene in the whole film. Well, okay, maybe not. Up to that point it certainly is, though. :)
...
Louis's mentor. lol.
Curious. The subtitles vary slightly from the actual dialog in a few places. Ad lib on the set versus what was written in the script, perhaps?
Did I ever mention that I absolutely love this movie? :)
Yes, I suppose I did.
[Bitscape now runs the risk of allowing the content farming to content vulturing ratio approach zero as the film progresses.]
...
...
....And across the Atlantic....
Okay, it's a worthy experiment, but this is definitely NOT the optimum way to type content. Both activities simply demand more CPU cycles. Nicing one of them doesn't give it enough for proper treatment. At least, when it's a movie masterpiece like this. One might more successfully type content while watching random crap. But then, if something is random crap, why watch at all? :)
"Then God does not exist?"
"I know nothing of God, or the Devil. I have never seen a vision, or learned a secret that would damn or save my soul."
[Bitscape finally gives up, blanks Argo's screen, and watches the rest of the movie. End credits roll.]
I'm a man of wealth and taste
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Ahum. So... this experiment in content creation turns out to be a rather pathetic nonsuccess. lol. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, single tasker that I am.
Maybe I should go make a movielog entry now. Maybe I will! :)
Content, content. I was writing content. Content about what? I forgot.
Perhaps I should start another disc. Maybe then I'd remember. Or not.
Special Features! Haven't watched the ones on this disc for a while. (And no, I won't be attempting a commentary on the commentary for this. Not tonight anyway. Although the thought is tempting.) Behind the Scenes... In the Shadow of the Vampire.
[Bitscape munches sunflower seeds.]
Well, this behind the scenes thing goes on long enough that it's almost as bad as the commentary. Half hour. Crazy.
But it's not soo all-attention-consuming as the movie itself. Interviews, clips, and whatnot.
Well, I'm gonna go to the fridge and grab a piece of fruit or something. This bit of web silliness is terminated.
