I must have watched one of the lousiest movies ever produced in the Seen and Unseen universe yesterday, something about a black scientist trying desperately to stop a meteorite from crashing into the Earth and ending 4000 years of continual bungling the planet has suffered at the hands of humans. The bad guy was (gasp! surprise surprise !) a fat, drawling general. As a matter of fact, I have come to the general conclusion that there must be some correlation between the degree of villainy of a character and the size of his belly - I mean just look at Batman, James Bond and Mike Myers ( oh wait, Mike was the good guy....oh well...).
I did not finish the movie so I am unable to tell you whether the meteorite did succeed in its noble cause. But sigh, it is time to return to less cheerful thoughts..
