I Love Comic-Con!
written at Wednesday, July 29, 2009
The annual comic convention is where all the big motion picture studios and companies showcase their upcoming movies, this year we have seen some really awesome footage and pictures of Alice in Wonderland, Iron man 2, Tron and Avatar. I can't wait till they get out!
Being a movie fan I have decided to start searching the web for some leaked footage. For example, the unreleased Iron man 2 trailer which was apparently shown at the convention. Security was high and they didn't allow any of the reporters, fans or journalists inside the hall to record the trailer ARGH! So thus, after trolling hard on the internet for 1 hour I couldn't find anything. Sad.
But nonetheless I can wait, patience is a virtue. I can see why the movie industry is such a successful niche in the market. If pictures can tell a thousand words, moving pictures can tell billions (I made that up, I should copyright it). From mindless summer blockbusters to though provoking novel-based film noir, movies never fail to capture me (Unless it really sucks).
On another note, our accounting lecturer showed us a very interesting piece of poetry today.
Though your balance-sheet’s a model of what balance-sheet should be, Typed and ruled with great precision in a type that all can see;
Though the grouping of the assets is commendable and clear,
And the details which are given more than usually appear;
Though investments have been valued at the sale price of the day,
And the auditor’s certificate shows everything O.K.;
One asset is omitted - and its worth I want to know,
The asset is the value of the men (people) who run the show.

Knowing
What matters supremely, therefore, is not
in the last analysis, the fact that I know God,
but the larger fact which underlies it --
the fact that He knows me.
