Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

The painting to their back on the left is An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump by Joseph Wright of Derby. It is a candlelit scene depicting a bird under glass were an air pump is used to deprive it of oxygen so that it suffered in front of a crowd before "miraculously" being return to life for a round of applause.
I wonder if this painting is featured here in order to show the cycle of entertainment, watching our protagonist suffer before making a triumphant if inexplicable return for our pleasure or if it is meant as a means of showing the exploitation of man during the rapid changes in technology.
I've often wondered about the choice of the painting "The Swing" in Jeff Lebowski's office as well.
I know that nothing is a movie is ever accidental - especially in these kind of high stake tentpole movies. I read nothing but great things about this. Friday afternoon in 3D is the only place for me.
In IMAX for me. That or Lincon depending on my mood on a rare free day.
Spoiler Alert - Lincoln doesn't see the end of the play.
I just saw that "Q" actor in "Cloud Atlas." He was great!
Erik, given that in the trailer Bond quips that his hobby is "resurrection", it would seem that the choice of painting was deliberate. Someone was being a clever boots.
