Strange Car Chase & Corpse Flower Opening
Check out one of the most craziest car chases LA has had in recent memory. A yet to be identified women stole an RV, smashed into cars, a tree and lost a one of two dogs through a hole she made in the front of the car. Crazy!
-Fox 11 says a Corpse Flower is suppose to open at Cal State Long Beach Thursday or Friday. The smell is suppose to be overpoweringly disgusting.

Pacific Visions Preview: We Need To Get Rid Of The Smaller Theater In It

Pacific Visions
Opens May 24
Aquarium of the Pacific
$ Admission
I heard kids shouting, "Oh my Goood! Look at those penguins!" They were excited and happy, this was out in the open near the penguin exhibit and that was the same at the other exhibits featuring the creatures from our oceans. Forget that at the new Pacific Visions. Visions is sort of a beautiful mess of reminding the world and specifically kids that things are bad. All of it is mostly in the dark, which doesn't invoke much happiness to small children.
Next area was a mistake, it's a pre-show area that happens before sitting down for another video to play, except that video is in the 8k Honda Pacific Visions Theater. I don't know who planned it, but getting up to go into a bigger theater from seating in a smaller theater, well, it's just kind of dumb. And the videos tell the same story with the 8k theater just being better at it.
So, instead of interacting with people or having any sort of connection to living creatures you'll sit on your butt twice to watch a reminder on how we need to fix the oceans
I'm not sure why the 8k theater with a giant screen that curves in a 180-degree arc and never before seen by us 36-foot-wide floor projection disc doesn't show the only video for the exhibit. This theater also has the ability to create fog, wind, scent, strobe lights, and seat vibration, which the other can't. Some of these extra were featured in the 8k theater and were a nice little bonus to the screening. The video quality was quite amazing though the subject matter and way it was presented was kind of boring. I could see a tired Dad falling a sleep to it.
We're not sure when new videos or screenings will showcase all of its features, but hopefully down the line will see other films play, specially made for the theater. Because, if it's only that one short video, it's a waste.
After the second theater, can't believe I have to write that, you'll enter a rehash of the more boring stuff you'd see at the California Science Center. The culmination gallery is darkly lit, because someone thinks that's cool, has tables you can touch to answer questions about conservation and some machines you can pull and rotate to tell you facts about consumption and pollution.
Overall, it's kind of a let down after hearing about it all these years. The regular aquarium maybe should have invested in a face lift instead of this new pavilion. A pavilion that, though brand new and beautiful, does little to give hope for the future, even when it showcases what the world might look like if we make it better.
Jerry Schubel, Aquarium of the Pacific president & CEO, seems like his heart is in the right place, his words of making it easier to explore new technology and being allowed to do so without being hindered spoke to us. Hopefully, whatever lobby is trying to stop work for a better tomorrow is thrown to the curb, but he didn't really explain who was stopping it. He was deeply enamored that this new pavilion will out live those who made it and remind future generations to care about the oceans. Which we should do anyway.
