Paying Attention to the Details

   My favourite films, video games, and books all have one thing in common, and that is they all pay attention to the details. They pay attention to basic guidlines that they set for themselves and that are already set by science. Nothing annoys me more than when either a writer or a director goes against these rules without any reason.
   Fiction or not I get annoyed when books and movies stray too far from reality. If they go against simple scientific concepts such as gravity they better have a good reason, and that reason should be well explained. In books and movies that include magic I like the limitations of the magic and how it is used to be explained. Exactally how much can be controlled by this magic? If there are no rules or limitations on superpowers in books or movies I end up becoming too frusterated to watch or read it the whole way through.
   I dislike mystery novels and movies but at the same time I can tolerate them because they describe and show every bit of scenery. While I like descriptions mystery novels give the answers too often and don't leave enough to the imagination. In other words there is not always enough mystery in the mystery genre.
   When it comes right down to it there are two reasons why people don't include details. It's either sheer laziness or greed. It's far less expensive to make a simple game with plain backgrounds than taking the time to add little trees and shrubbery. If it's a monty python video game, which would be cool, shrubbery would actually play an important role. What else would appease the knights who say Ni.
   I just think that mmore people should put some effort in and add extra details, however meaningless they may appear.

Doctor Who Quote

An interesting quote from the very first doctor.

Barbara: Is it frozen?

The Doctor: No, impossible at this temperature. Besides, it's too warm.
