I've really looked forward to and enjoyed your comments. I'm actually rather disappointed to reach the end myself, it means I have to figure out how to regale you all next. Any suggestions?

I can't stand what I call 'pathetic comedy' because of this lack of believability. It's just TOO pathetically blah. With other genres I'm a little more forgiving but I agree, the ability to willingly suspend disbelief is a part of what makes movies and books enjoyable.<br/><br/>Emily: It's amazing how photography is like that. I love seeing some of the amazing graphic effects we get these days. CGI is fantastic because it has developed to the point where things LOOK so real that they can blend into reality even if they're completely computer generated. I just wish big commerce didn't abuse this with airbrushed models creating a warped sense of reality. Elrena: Thanks for the tag. I posted the result today. :-)

I can't watch too many movies because of it. If things in a novel don't add up, I close the book. I have a hell of a time suspending reality. I can’t watch too many movies because of it.

You can actually get away with more in a photo because people "know" it is true. “It’s no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.” Mark Twain
