> I appreciate the music more than the message.

I love that song’s message though! It’s like a parable about love and communication and not being blinded by the mundane. Those two not only deserved each other, they complemented each other perfectly! I wish I could find someone who fits perfectly into my whole life, including my flaws.

I recently heard somewhere that great marriages aren’t great because they never come apart, but because they are defined by the coming back together again. I think that song is a beautiful example of that. Cheesy, saccharine, and unrealistic…but beautiful!

So in the British version of The Office, it really matters that they’re being filmed: characters are aware of the camera, people have watched “the show” and seen things they did or said, and the camera affects what people do and the nature of the story. It’s incorporated into it in a thoughtful way.

(The first season of the US Office is the worst until the series is about to end, so I’d encourage anyone to watch it, if only for the season, third, and fourth seasons)

I'm always in awe at 2012.

The sheer scale of destruction is unbelievable and watching it unfurl with shitty dialogue is almost hilarious - it's so much fun to watch. An extended sequence behind a couple of grannies driving not realising end of world scale destruction, with all the screams of hundreds of thousands is insane. A plane flying through the cracks of the world with subway trains emerging from tunnels only to descend into a firey abyss - all the passengers are animated within it running with absolute futile.

Got a nothing but respect for the animators on that one. The attention to detail is maddeningly impressive.
