FIVE MORE DAYS TO CHRISTMAS

I realize I haven't talked about finals yet. Finals weren't great.

Professor Allen's The Cantebury Tales final was not too bad. I did not think I wrote spectacular essays, but they were acceptable, I think. Since taking Professor Allen's final on Tuesday, I studied full-throttle for Biochemistry. I had Biochemistry and ( Read more... )

No, I have not seen Apocalypto yet, most probably we shall do it this Saturday. I hope the gory moments are not...gratuitious. I can always close my eyes though.

Hmm, so you say the suffering gets boring? In the way that e.g. why we watch Christ dragging the cross for...30 minutes on screen? I think I know that MG wanted to stress his sufferings, but IMHO this had to be cut at 10 mins, because 30 mins of dragging the cross bore people, and diminishes their compassion with Christ. More is nto always better. I'm not sure I expressed myself clear enough with this example. Anyway, the best way is to see it yourself and pass the judgement, as I always stress.

I have not seen Babel's trailer, but I usually don't trust trailers, for they are edited to catch mass attention and often give wrong impression about the movie. Yet the movie was worth the positive reviews I have read. Also, I have watched Little Children, which is another awards-worth movie and I think you have heard about it. IMHO these both movies are about responsibility. In a large sense of this word (responsibility towards our children, our partners, our friends etc).

It's really quite surprising to me that someone, anyone, would be interested in a grim M&S icon! Gee, it could be surprising if you didn't know that I'm quite...not interested in the M&S icons that over-stress the romantic aspect of their relationship. The icons that are neutral M&S or angsty attract my attention because I always was of a firm opinion that M&S are a couple that would face many professional and personal problems when put together. I also took those icons where M&S are in the car, I lvoe the yellow/green colors and the feelings of...desolation or sadness that infuse them.

What ep are you going to icon next?

Btw, I have also watched Marie Antoinette the other day. Although I can't stand KDunst, the movie was quite a delight. :)
