One rainy night eight years ago, in Watertown, Massachusetts, a man was taking his dog for a walk. On the curb, in front of a neighbor’s house, he spotted a pile of trash: old mattresses, cardboard boxes, a few broken lamps. Amidst the garbage he caught sight of a battered suitcase. He bent down, turned the case on its side and popped the clasps.
He was surprised to discover that the suitcase was full of black-and-white photographs. He was even more astonished by their subject matter: devastated buildings, twisted girders, broken bridges — snapshots from an annihilated city. He quickly closed the case and made his way back home.
At the kitchen table, he looked through the photographs again and confirmed what he had suspected. He was looking at something he had never seen before: the effects of the first use of the Atomic bomb. The man was looking at Hiroshima.
I’m pretty impressed by the chanting in the last few seconds- whereas North American crowds tend to chant relentlessly, these guys are nicely synced up with good long pauses for effect, and I don’t hear that one guy in every crowd who can’t keep the beat.
Thanks to Kelly for the tip. (Also, Kells, quit it with the Canadian essay fraud, hey? We’re on to you.)
The new Pixar movie is Up. I mean the trailer is up. The Up trailer is up. It’s Up, and it’s up. The movie is Up, but it isn’t up, just the Up trailer is up. So you can look Up up, or you can just call Up up here.
