More Procrastination – The Time Machine

Story of my life: I came home this afternoon completely intending to read Abnormal Psychology and do the case study that is due tomorrow night. Instead, I fall asleep and sleep comfortably for two hours, and then when I wake up I happen to flip past HBO and what movie is starting? No other than The Time Machine. Being the huge utopian/romance sap that I am, I had to watch it, especially since I hadn’t seen it yet and I enjoyed the original movie.

The cool thing about The Time Machine is that I noticed from glancing at the ending credits that it was actually filmed here in Troy, NY! That’s incredible :-) Some of the scenery in the movie (the cityscapes, that is) were really attractive. I should watch it again, paying particular attention to where some of the scenes may have been filmed. Cool stuff :-p Plus it was a pretty good movie, not another cheesy remake. It was different enough to be interesting, but nothing as horrible as the remake of Planet of the Apes.

Here was one of my favorite lines of the movie from the Über-Morlock character:

We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they’re called memories. Some take us forward, they’re called dreams.

So now it’s after 9:30 and I haven’t done anything for Abnormal Psych yet. But I am well rested, and quite motivated O:-)
