So today, having teenaged girls, we watched a Robert Pattinson movie, "Remember Me" on the movie channel. At the end of the movie (I'm gonna tell you the ending so close your eyes when you read this if you don't want to know;-) they show his character standing in an office in one of the twin towers of the World Trade Center just before it gets hit on 911. Right then I was so engrossed in the movie I felt the rumbling and commented that that was the best ending ever! I actually felt tragedy physically.
Wrong. The dog also felt it as well and turns out there was an earthquake in Quebec right at the very time the plane was to hit the towers. It resonated through from Montreal (the epicentre) to Ottawa.
Now that all being said, I realize the insignificance of the quake here compared to what's going on now in Japan. I can't even imagine living through what the survivors are dealing with right now. Makes the little shakers, which are far less than even the aftershocks which Japan is having, that much less threatening when they happen.
Anyhow, timing is everything and maybe that movie wouldn't have seemed as good without the added special effects provided by nature.
Laser Dog Ready!

That one guy from Twilight looks like a bulldog.
how come the pretty ones are such bad actors?.. :/
Great, now you've spoiled it. Don't you know I don't read every word?
I still object to that Robert guy being cast as Cedric Diggory. Cedric was supposed to be HANDSOME.
I thought the ending was good too...totally unexpected! I'm glad we don't get earthquakes here.
