Typical Day & Reading vs Watching
Me:
Typical day in my shoes. School presentation, went well. Saw no use in attending my other class as the teacher never really teaches anything anyway. He just rambles like an idiot.
"Playback on full recall shows Ralfi stepping forward as the little tech sidles out of nowhere, smiling. Just a suggestion of a bow, and his left thumb falls off. It's a conjuring trick. The thumb hangs suspended. Mirrors? Wires? And Ralfi stops, his back to us, dark crescents of sweat under the upits of his pale summer suit. He knows. He must have known. And then the joke-shop thumtip, heavy as lead, arcs out in a lightin yo-yo trick, and the invisible thread connecting it to the killer's hand passes latterally though Ralfi's skull, just above his eybrows, whips up, and descends, slicing the pear, shaped toso diagonally from the shoulder to the rib cage. Cuts so fine that no blood flows until synapses misfire and the first tremors surrender the body to gravity." (Johnny Mnemonic by William Gibson)

Have you ever watched a movie and then read the book? or Vice-versa? I just read Johnny Mnemonic and I saw part of the movie not long ago and it's so much better reading it! You can get really into the book and you can put whatever you want behind the words, often the best part about books is that they leave a little bit open to interpretation which is awesome. Do you know any movies that change instantaneously to what you want? Well the last part is a bit of an overstatement but you get what i'm saying :)

what is the meaning of instantaneously??
Instantaneously is like without delay. Something you did in an instant, a specific point in time, without delay, was done instantaneously.
Who are you? :P If you dont mind me asking...
