cinematic

watched a cool movie a few days ago called the man from earth. its based on a book from the 60's by jerome bixby(sci-fi writer of twilight zone and star trek acclaim). it got adapted to a screenplay. its about a guy who is essentially and early man and through a number of factors has never died and its his attempt at telling his friends(a group of university scholars) his tale and the resulting discussion. it brought up alot of really outside the box ideas about what we know and how we can prove things with legitimacy to ourselves. i suppose i was swayed by the anthropological angle in it but its still a worthwhile 2 hrs.
