Went to the cinema tonight to see a preview screening of “The Little Death“, Josh Lawson’s new film. Go see it! Brilliant! Weird. But brilliant!
If only there were more sloths in movies these days. Seriously, aren’t they popular enough yet? The only movies I’ve seen sloths in are The Croods and Life of Pi. If there are any more please let me know! It looks like there are some out there who have the same idea as me…
Watch the first scene of “Life of Pi”. On 3D Blu-ray if possible (or at least in HD). BAM. Sloth.
The author of the book, Yann Martel, is fascinated by sloths, and this is reflected in his writing.
Sometimes I got my majors mixed up. A number of my fellow religious-studies students – muddled agnostics who didn’t know which way was up, who were in the thrall of reason, that fool’s gold for the bright – reminded me of the three-toed sloth; and the three-toed sloth, such a beautiful example of the miracle of life, reminded me of God.
You can get a hard copy of the book here, or the ebook for Kindle or iBooks.
