Serenity!

Brilhante, absolutamente brilhante, A versão LEGO do trailer do filme Serenity (quem não conhece a série fabulosa Firefly que foi cancelada prematuramente?). Teve tanto sucesso que os fans reclamaram e... acabaram por fazer um filme fantastico. Não é uma série de ficção cientifica fácil. Ainda bem...



E aqui está a versão oficial do trailer para verem a diferença.

Always Shakespeare

What a piece of work is man!
How noble in reason!
how infinite in faculty!
in form, in moving,
how express and admirable!
in action how like an angel!
in apprehension how like a god!
the beauty of the world!
the paragon of animals!
And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?
man delights not me; no, nor woman neither,
though by your smiling, you seem to say so.

William Shakespeare, Hamlet , II, ii, 316

Hope in Humanity

Despite our cynicism, and contrary to our oft stated negative perception of the world, good people far outnumber bad people. By a huge margin, actually. For the sake of argument I'll assume we all know what I mean by good and bad here. Sure, there are bad people, and they can destroy things and do so in a loud manner. But the fact remains that most people are content to just keep to themselves and do no harm unless provoked. It's why society works. It's not because of laws or punishment or any of that. It's because most people don't want to be assholes unless they have to be. It's because being an asshole doesn't usually result in anything positive. And being a nice person usually does.

It almost gives me some hope for humanity, it really does.
