We finally saw the movie, 127 Hours last night. OK, so most people know the plot of the film, based on Aron Ralston’s survivor autobiography, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, so why see it? Two reasons – director Danny Boyle and James Franco, as Aron Ralston, take you into the dark, dusty, narrow Utah canyon, and the introspective mind of Ralston, allowing the you to be a voyeur in this truly terrifying and intense experience. Oh, and the cinematography an’t bad either – how could it not be with such exquisite geology. I could watch this film again, which is saying a lot for me.
On the lighter side, I offer this video cartoon de jour, I mean given the topic and the setting, it’s perfect for Wile E. Coyote.
