AAAAAAGH make the stupid people on the Internet STOP POSTING

*cough*

So anyway, last night I went over to Duncan's to watch this movie Pi. Which was... well, basically, it was about Tetsuo only with maths instead of psychic powers. No, really. Both Tetsuo and the main character of this, Max, suffered from debilitating headaches and popped pills to deal with it, both of them had access to strange powers (Max's was amazing mathematical ability and being able to do complex sums in his head incredibly quickly) both were surrounded by people saying 'Um, I think you're using too much power' and they were all 'Shut up!' and carried on exploding people/trying to use maths to predict the stock market and discover weird 216-digit numbers THAT KILL PEOPLE. No, really. And both of them in the end had to make a choice between their powers and a normal life. *nods sagely*

Plus it had a really cool credits sequence with lots of mathematical pics and cool music. *bounces*

In other news, three of my modules have now finished and another one is due to finish on Thursday! Which means fewer 6:30 starts (if more revision). So that is all good.

I think I've seen that one, actually.. I'm not sure- it sounds very familiar, though. In any case, it sounds like something I'd be into XD;

There can't be that many films featuring insane mathematicians called Max... can there? Hmm...

You've got to be serious?! Sounds goofy, yet fun. :)

It was... pretty weird, but not bad ^^

Death! Killing power of maths! Very interesting indeed. Blowing up people with large numbers would be a neat way to deal with costant problems. :D

I can't deny the thought hasn't sometimes crossed my mind *shifty eyes* I think in the movie it only works if you're prone to stress/heart attacks/headaches/migraines/insanity, though.
