I was a Biology Sub today.\u00a0 The teacher had me show \u201cBattlefield Cell\u201d to all five of his classes.\u00a0 The movie is a bit theatrical and \u201cdark,\u201d over dramatizing a virus invasion.\u00a0 The video had lots of detailed information to present in 45 minutes, but it could have been stated in five minutes or less, and without all the space-age computer graphics.\u00a0 I was pretty much tired of the video after the third viewing.\u00a0 At least the classes were pretty good, until the last period of the day \u2013 those guys were squirrely.<\/p>\n
