Spring break has sprung, or will soon enough. Starting Monday the kids are on Spring Break which means the house will be bustling with nervous energy, especially when the teens wake up around two in the afternoon. But seriously, I'll be offline, blogging-wise, most of next week. I'll still be around for comments on blogs, Facebook and Twitter but no update activity here, most likely, until late next week. Besides, I've got at least four CD reviews for Mondo Cult Magazine due in the next two weeks so I should definitely be working on those anyway. If you've got a Spring Break vacation you're taking I hope it's a nice one. Be back with updates late next week. Thanks.
P.S. Here's an old-school Cinema Styles banner for nostalgia's sake. Made it the other day but didn't use it, committed as I am to keeping the look around here clean, crisp and, outside of pics in postings, black and white. This one marks the 398th banner created for Cinema Styles, just two to go to 400. On the 200th I used 1776 (banner bicentenial), for the 300th, you guessed it, 300. But what film should be used for 400? Hmmmm, if only there were a prominent movie in film history with "400" in the title. Oh well, I guess I'll have to improvise. Maybe a good run to the beach will help me think.

Yeah, I hear 400 Years of the Telescope is awesome.
Happy Spring!
Being a science geek I actually have seen that. I watched it on Netflix instant and was pretty disappointed. Covered everything you could get from a DK Book on Telescopes. No real insight or detailed history.
I thought 400 Years of the Telescope was actually very good. I don't have much astronomy background, so I found the interviews fascinating. And the cinematography was excellent.
Here's their website if you're looking for more detail:
400 Years of the Telescope
Oh, it wasn't bad, it's just that they really flew by the history. I'm being biased because I've read all the history in depth and a 60 minute documentary isn't going to give me that. For someone interested in the history who hasn't done a lot of reading on it, yes, I'd say it's a very good introduction to it. So, ignore my first comment on the matter. Most science docs do disappoint me though because they fly past the science and focus on some eye-catching CGI demonstration.
the 400 blows!
Never heard of it.
Was Bai Ling in that?
Are you back from fishing?
Uh... no. Montgomery County in all of its wisdom gives a week and a day for Spring Break and then, tommorow, it's a teacher's work day. So basically, I'm out of the loop until Wednesday. I couldn't really focus on writing anything even if I wanted to.
