We fucking hope some of the crushing is done in slow-motion.

Earthquakes.

In disaster movies of late there is horrendous destruction, with countless people being squished-burned-stomped-burned and stomped-burned and stomped -burned and stomped and squished: it's OK, we enjoy it anyway because we know it is only CGI 'people', after all.

Then we look at Washington and see those people -- the politicians, the media, the lobbyists et all --and they are no more real to us than a CGI guy running on the deck of the CGI Titanic. They have fully removed themselves from the dimension of people they claim to represent. They use the equivalent of CGI to make money make more money. They are, in the end, pixels: money, attention, words, power -- they are all just pixels chasing pixels, pretending that we should suspend disbelief and view them as real.

And now a Godzilla might finally come to stomp on THEM -- and we are ready. We have our popcorn. We fucking hope some of the crushing is done in slow-motion. We will pay extra for the Imax 3-D Experience.

And it will be the Best Movie we will ever see.

I am Laslo.
