Astronomy and a Movie

One day last week, Michael surprised me with a date. I know, I was shocked too. In the spirit of this spontaneity, I planned a date a few weeks in advance.

We went to Brevies to listen to an astronomer talk to us about how crazy asteroids are...tumbling into our atmosphere and the like. It was entertaining and the food was pretty good too. After the lecture, we watched 'When Worlds Collide.' If you have 80 minutes, you should really check it out. My favorite part is definitly the last scene. I should call some modern filmmakersnand and suggest that they reintroduce large scale matte paintings. 

The last scene of the movie, features the main characters walking out it to the new world. When we walked out of the theaters it was snowing like crazy--it was almost as if we'd walked out into a new world. Bam!
