Well of course, Evelyn Waugh, when not writing hilarious satire, is writing heart-crushing tragedy. It's in his name right, "waugh", which is like a funny-sounding sort of sob?

I've just finished Brideshead Revisited the book, and I can now say the movie is absolutely the worst film adaptation ever. I know the book builds up (then demolishes) over ( Read more... )

I've been watching the Up Series, which is like reality tv way ahead of its time. And also on Roger Ebert's must-watch list. It is both super presh and incredibly depressing - more the latter once you reach 21 Up. Some of those 21-year-olds I just want to hug forever and make them breakfast, most of all Neil. Oh, Neil :'( He went from being this ( Read more... )

EPISODE 17 OF UGLY BETTY SEASON 2 = Oh Gio, why don't I have you in my life? I watched that and some VMars and Friends today instead of studying. This semester it seems a lot harder to feel something for my classes. I'm feeling pretty depressed about it now, actually. I'm going to go lie about on my bed and feel sad about it. And after that I shall ( Read more... )

After watching ENSEMBLE, C'EST TOUT (or, apparently completely made-up US title "HUNTING & GATHERING"), I want to cut my hair short enough to show off the smallness of my ears. The movie is cliched at parts, and once or twice the development of Franck/Camille seems a pretty rushed job, but you don't care about all that because you are deeply in ( Read more... )

I think I'll change my username to zunday. Any opinions?

I feel really great today! Maybe it's because I've been sick and ill-tempered the past couple of days so I've forgotten how it feels like to be a healthy person. And the weather is so lovely today. And I just got back from an exciting driving lesson in which I hit SIXTY km/hr and almost killed myself! From all the excitement! Also I'm cooking an ( Read more... )

Happy birthday Sam~ I wasn't expecting anything really but it turned out to be quite a nice one ( Read more... )

So recently, finding kindred spirits in films.

It's really dumb when refs are pricks to one team in the first half, thus making the game pretty lame, and then start to feel guilty after half-time and show yellow cards randomly to the other team to try to even things out a little. It's also stupid when refs compensate in one match for incidents that happened in other matches, involving other ( Read more... )
