shiny objects

* Crypto Security Boxes found while googling "Vitruvian". Neat! It's not very secure; you have to tell the artist what the password is at commission, and then you can't change it. It's awfully pretty, though. What could you keep in there? Sterling D&D dice? (Oh, wait... kids these days just use a d20. Better make that 24k.)
*	This is Industrial. Ahh, relaxation. Really heavy, driving beats (or spacey electronica trance music) help me concentrate. See me concentrating? feather_brain70's amazing da Techno Mix used to help, but now I know all the words. :)
* The normative power of the actual.
* Mirrormask is rated PG 'for some mild thematic elements and scary images'. Careful, folks... don't want your kids to get any ideas. At All. Some other movie opens tonight, too. "Parity"? Something.

re: mirrormask: was that an intentional reference to his comment at the reading friday?

"Henson wanted us to make a family film, so that's what we did. Except that we didn't make it by the American definition, which consists, as near as I can tell of, a film that one can sit a four-year-old in front of alone for two hours and come back reassured that they won't have been bothered by any ideas. This is not that kind of film."

we're going to see it tonight :)

Ah! He is referencing himself. :)

He made a similar comment in the linked Time Magazine interview (Time, Neil, and Joss Whedon). What an odd characterization! I'd love to see the list the review board chooses from to qualify the ratings categories.

And in hindsight I'm surprised Neil's objection wasn't to the word "mild."

Have fun tonight!

yeah, i think he probably has some clever turns of phrase he uses for the common questions he gets asked a lot about certain works (certainly i've heard him make similar comments in different readings to similar questions).

mild thematic content. maybe that should be my new journal name.
