I didn’t realize that there’s a Noah’s Ark near me, at Kennywood Amusement Park outside of Pittsburgh. Unlike the one Ken Ham did, it was a fairly amusing ride, and the science was about as accurate.

I made a bunch of water beads because I wanted to record the sound of squeezing them. It turned out that there wasn’t much. Then, I dropped a bunch on the floor and that gave me an idea.

Short form: I wish there were more thrillers that had such great lighting, interesting characters, adult plot, and which did such a beautiful job of treading the line between suspension of disbelief and failure to suspend disbelief.
