Action movie in the making!
From Telkoth.net
Telkoth: I found more pictures of Cai Guo-Quiang's pyrotechnics :) http://www.grucci.com/pr6_23_02.html
Telkoth: and here: http://artnetweb.com/guggenheim/boss/cai.html
Telkoth: that first one is particularly fantastic
Laura L.: ha, awesome!
Telkoth: [nods]
Laura L.: what a career
Laura L.: if only i'd majored in blowing up stuff to make prettiness
Telkoth: ha-ha
Laura L.: it's like the best of both worlds
Telkoth: I wonder how you start out, though
Telkoth: like... you can't afford to fuck up something that big
Telkoth: fire could be everywhere
Laura L.: yeah, really
Laura L.: heh
Telkoth: and it doesn't cost money or anything
Telkoth: for us to see it
Telkoth: so... either the government's paying for it, and you wonder why, or he's doing it for free, and you wonder why :P
Laura L.: huh... yeah, that's true
Laura L.: how odd
Telkoth: [nods]
Telkoth: oh well. free explosions for me :P
Laura L.: though it is a big family-friendly event, perhaps it's the advertising value?
Telkoth: so he can charge massive amounts next time? :P
Laura L.: or perhaps we're unwittingly becoming pawns in his scheme to hold a city hostage in the eye of a tornado of fire
Telkoth: actually, I bet it's hard to charge money for something that could be seen from miles away
Telkoth: ha-ha
Telkoth: awesome
Laura L.: yeah - it'd be a movie plot, for sure
Laura L.: is entirely possible
Telkoth: or! evil terrorists attempt to gain control of chinese fire tornado in order to wreak havok in D.C.!
Telkoth: [dramatic chord]
Laura L.: :-D
Laura L.: we should warn the others before it's too late! they'll never believe us!
Telkoth: or we locked up for creating a panic - but we have to escape in order to stop it from happening,
Telkoth: but we escaped, so the polices are after us
Telkoth: er, or we're
Telkoth: we're locked up - right
Laura L.: lol..
Telkoth: a stereotypical action movie in the making
Laura L.: yeah, and then we have to figure out how to divert the tornado of fire into the ocean
Laura L.: where it will boil the water for a time and then harmlessly go out
Laura L.: is there water by dc?
Laura L.: it could convert the reflecting pool into steam! cinematic!
Telkoth: there must be a river, or -- YEAH THERE IS
Telkoth: [gasp]
Telkoth: that's cooler, though
Laura L.: right, but the reflecting pool wouldn't be enough to stop it...
Telkoth: ha - so it's just a smaller tornado of fire?
Telkoth: but still enough to be dangerous!
Telkoth: of course by this point we're probably trusted by the police, and they'll help us stop these madmen
Telkoth: 'cause, you know, we've been dealing with them! we know how to do it!
Laura L.: yeah, we can think like them! :-P
Laura L.: we've got insight into their twisted minds
Telkoth: heh
