I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

I get it, we go to movies and watch TV to escape from the real world, to live for an hour or two in another world, a world that doesn't have to be based in reality.
I, too, liked Prometheus, and I think everyone nitpicking at the tiniest of details is ridonkulous. The story was about every story created by mankind: who are we, or who am I? It's no less 'fantasy' than the Alien it's purported to precede, or Batman or Bladerunner.
But, I am a glutton for information. It's my downfall. I really enjoy learning about the reality behind the fiction.
I adore cerebral films. Few directors make cerebral films. Aaronofsky is a favorite.
