    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I'm sick to death with the "found footage" format. I really am. Would it really be so much harder to leave the fourth wall unbroken and just shoot in a 'documentary-like' style?

    As for this - interesting idea, but the execution looks cliched as all get out.

    There's a documentary that I saw on YouTube (about an hour long) on urban exploration, although I forget the name of it now ... anyway, in one segment they went down below Paris and into the catacombs themselves. It was pretty creepy, but really interesting.

    This film though? Hmmm ... probably give it a look when it rolls around on TV some day ... don't like the title, though, but at least it isn't some super generic title either.
