words
I am looking at the stars. They are so far away, and their light takes so long to reach us. All we ever see of stars is their old photographs.

In my opinion, the existence of life is a highly overrated phenomenon. Just look around you. Mars gets along perfectly well without so much as a micro-organism. Here it's a constantly changing topographical map, flowing and shifting around the globe in ripples ten thousand years wide. So tell me how would all of this be greatly improved by an oil pipeline? By a shopping mall?

I prefer the stillness here. I am tired of Earth. These people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives. They claim their labors are to build a heaven, yet their heaven is populated with horrors. Perhaps the world is not made, perhaps nothing is made; a clock, without a craftsmen. It’s too late, always has been, always will be, too late.

OMFG, that is the most amazing thing I've seen from you (hell, from anyone) in a long time, and i see many amazing things from you. I haven't actually seen this episode yet, though I'm spoiled for the twist, but what a fantastically perfect mixup between Manhattan and the Doctor. The spectre of Mars hanging over the entire vid is amazing. It's...everything this doctor should have been from the beginning. In addition, the music from Koyaanisqatsi that gets played over Manhattan's opening speech and your use of footage of nukes reminds me of the movie, which I ended up watching for a vid project and which is...weird but gorgeous and that music now hits me where I live for Epic, World-Spanning, Time-Lapsing Stuff so it was doubly perfect from a personal perspective.

But anyway, I ramble, and this is amazing, and I must download and watch fifty more times.

I like The Doctor dark, like black coffee dark and bitter. I would like to see The Doctor tell the planet to fuck off and kill itself, then kick back on the moon and watch. Afterward he'd probably go off, like Doctor Manhattan, and start his own world where he's god.

You remember my twittering about thinking I'd gone too far, so it's awesome to see how you respond. :)

I flipping love Watchmen. It ate my brain for a while and it still is in the back of my mind. I want to do a vid for it, but I can't get the right song. I think it's one of the single most depressing films ever made. And I've watched some pretty depressing movies. It's so amazingly beautiful at times, which adds to how it's sick and awful in the end.

I love rambling, I love reading rambling, so yay!
