..marine snow..

so when you look at this scene from the Disney animated movie Finding Nemo do you think that Disney did an awful editing job or do you know that those white specks are supposed to be there? well not only are they supposed to be there, they are one of the reasons why i love companies like Disney. Even though they are making an animated children's movie they employ real microbiologists and marine biologists to help them create a "real" environment. The white specks are marine snow, particles of dead and alive particles that float from the top waters to the deep ocean. such an important part of the biological pump that other movies like titanic seemed to "forget" when creating their underwater scenes. i am a dork, this i know. i was watching er once and i wanted to die, they called for a thousand milligrams of lorazepam STAT! what were they trying to do? kill the person immediately? little things like that make the world of a difference to me...thats why i like House...they use real drug names for real implications and the correct dosages!! okay i am done ranting and raving...lol, good nite!
