Resident Evil: Extinction

[eloisel]

Well, that was interesting. A lot of jump factor. Not much plot but, then again, most of the characters are brainless dead flesh eating monsters. I always find it fun when a main character's clothing is a bigger story element than dialogue. Alice is definitely a composite type character reminiscent of Ripley. Always nice to see Oded Fehr - he's a definite hottie.

I saw a poster for Saw IV and the next Aliens v Predator movie - which, of course, you know they made just for me. I can hardly wait. Nothing I like better than horror flicks at Christmas time.

For some people, Christmas is a horror time.

I love Christmas now that the kid is grown, the inlaws are exes, and the near and dear family live very far away. I can take a cruise with a bunch of strangers and get drunk in the ballroom. That is the way to do it.

How does a virus dry up lakes?

 

[eloisel]

A virus could dry up lakes but it would take awhile. Suppose a virus killed all life forms including trees, grass, all vegetation. Then, with the gasses from the rotting dead vegetation blowing an even bigger hole in the ozone layer and the planet's respiration cycle losing more water than taking in, our ground water would eventually disappear like in a few hundred thousand years or so. Of course, other living things would have died out long before the water disappeared. The herbivores first, the omnivores second, the carnivores last. Then again, consider the extinction of the dinosaurs. Supposedly meteors hit the planet throwing up enough dirt to block out the sun and kill off the vegetation, which, in turn, killed off the dinosaurs. Sea creatures would evolve and rise from the depths, that become shallows as the water disappears. There is some scary life in the depths of the ocean. Monsters would walk the earth again and they wouldn't be the living dead.
