Dauntless

I like having a 3-day weekend! Today I got some of my steps in by walking to the movie theater to see "Divergent".

• I have respected Shailene Woodley's acting talent since I saw her in "The Descendants".  She did a great job here, too.
• Four.  Hummina.  Hello, Theo James!
• "I don't want to be just one thing. I can't be. I want to be brave, and I want to be selfless, intelligent, and honest and kind. Well, I'm still working on kind."
• Ashley Judd, taking names.  I like that she plays strong characters.
• Tony Goldwyn still makes me think that he's going to have Patrick Swayze killed, so I still think he's sinister, even when he's not.  Sorry, Tony!
• Dude, what is it with this film and the cutting of the hands?!
• I wonder what I would have done in Tris' place when it came to choosing her faction, as well as facing her fears.  I guess I'd like to think that I'd be brave, but would I leave my faction?  I don't know.  
• The way their tattoos were applied, it didn't seem painful.  I know that all of that detail and the very dark, filled-in tattoos actually hurt the way they're done in our current world.
• I guess I have another book series that I need to read.  I really liked the premise, and I'm looking forward to more installments.
• What is beyond the Chicago gates?  Interesting.
• Hey, that's my friend's sister Sophia Lo in the credits! She did digital composition.  Yay, Sophia!!!
• According to the site's aptitude test, I am Divergent, scoring highest for Amity (kind) and Dauntless (brave).  Hey, maybe I *am* brave, after all!
• For the record, in order of the highest scoring faction to the lowest:
• Amity (kind)
• Dauntless (brave)
• Erudite (intelligent)
• Candor (truthful)
• Abnegation (selfless)
• (Erudite and Candor were almost a tie)
