what the [bleep] do we know (2004)<\/b> ~ following a recommendation from , i decided to check out this part-documentary part-fiction film&#8230; so this morning, i watched it (apparently this AVI only contained the first 45 minutes of the full-length; later i&#8217;ll download another but unsplit file)&#8230; but after those 45 minutes, while it was entertaining, it still felt like another PBS &#8220;nature of the universe&#8221; science show, or maybe i saw it already&#8230; in any case, there wasn&#8217;t anything new about quantum theory&#8230; just a bunch of advocates with the same egocentric attitude as ancient scientists who once thought the earth was the center of the universe&#8230; so while &#8220;nowunraveling&#8221; gave it TWO stars, i might give it THREE because i like the actress Marlee Matlin, and of course, Armin &#8220;Quark&#8221; Shimerman&#8230;\n<ul>\n<li><i><b>side note 1<\/b><\/i> ~ i&#8217;m now beginning to think that the number of possible parallel realities can NEVER be completely infinite or completely dependent upon human observation, just as the space and time in the universe aren&#8217;t infinite&#8230; that is, mathematical probabilities are only a guide, not the reality&#8230; and just as subatomic particles can pop into and fade away like bubbles from this reality (as hawking wrote), so should the highly-improbable parallel universes fade away, and new ones pop into existence in their place&#8230;\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><i><b>side note 2<\/b><\/i> ~ just a note on &#8220;infinities&#8221;&#8230; since my &#8220;math fair&#8221; project in elementary school, i&#8217;ve known that there are multiple orders of infinity, not just one kind&#8230; for example, the infinity of possible points on a line segment is &#8220;lesser&#8221; than the infinity of possible line segments\/paths within a 2D area&#8230; which in turn, is &#8220;lesser&#8221; than the infinity of line segments\/paths within a 3D volume&#8230; this is due to the lack of &#8220;one-to-one correspondence&#8221; among these orders of infinity&#8230; so in terms of parallel realities, i perceive the possibilites NOT as the infinite number of points on a line that stretches infinitely long in both directions, BUT on the &#8220;lesser order&#8221; of infinite number of points within a defined line of limited length A-to-B&#8230; and even then, not an infinite number of points&#8230;\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>2 &#8211; [sympathy for] lady vengeance (2005)<\/b> ~ finally found time to watch this korean film!&#8230; with a pretty leading lady, and the ever-tortured Choi Min-sik to play the primary antagonist&#8230; beautiful cinematography and some shocking moments, but afterwards, the film left me unsatisfied&#8230; if anything, the sublime vivaldi-like soundtrack was the best element of the film&#8230; just as beautiful as the MP3s i acquired more than 12 months ago!&#8230; THREE stars&#8230;\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>3 &#8211;

it&#8217;s one of those movies that makes me think that, as tantalizingly super-sexy as she can be, Milla Jovovich should&#8217;ve stuck with singing&#8230; fortunately, &#8220;the fifth element&#8221; saves her&#8230; again&#8230; THREE stars&#8230;\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>4 &#8211; my sassy girl (2001)<\/b> ~ yet again, finally watched this korean romantic-comedy!&#8230; a cute leading lady, and awkward leading guy&#8230;
