[[um. Hi! I'm not dead. Not even a little bit! I'm mostly on Tumblr these days, and AO3]]

Aside from some odd bouts of "dude, gravity does not work like that," "...this is a spaceship, build to withstand pressure from the INSIDE, not OUTSIDE," "guys, in space if you can see the nearest flying object you are, oh, 5,000 klicks too close" and last but ( Read more... )

Stephenie Meyer is, I think, very talented when it comes to burying her admittedly excellent ideas in sub-par prose and non-existent plot. I say this, because she frequently takes the trouble to present an alternative take on the same events which end up being more exciting and evoke more genuine emotion than the entire story. Case in point the ( Read more... )

Ha, so I had three hours off today and I went to see Prometheus (side note: weirdly enough, Chrome spellcheck includes Promethean, but not Prometheus) and hell, I loved it! It's absolutely lovely to watch (and I don't mean just Michael Fassbender, though he contributes a lot to the pretty), the script is simple, straightforward and doesn't fall ( Read more... )

I had a really good birthday, thank you all for the wishes! I want to say thanks especially to kispexi2, katikat and orvida, for the gifts!

Yesterday I had school, so we (me and sisters) mostly curled up on the couch with drinks, and watched The Count of Monte Cristo. Today though we went off to Katowice (which is not far, but takes an hour by bus) to see Prince ( Read more... )

So I have returned from the trip. And I was indeed hired. Two weeks in the beginning of July, then two weeks of break than two more. Different camps too. First is a kiddie magic camp, the other is an adventure camp. Might need to stock up on dirt for the second one. XD ( Read more... )

The Friday strike - let's face it, it's pretty pointless. They don't care. There's not going to be a massive flood away from LJ, little will change for existing users and new ones will likely join anyway. The plus in the accounts doesn't make that much of a difference. I also have no plans to desert LJ in the foreseeable future either ( Read more... )

The Promise is the mother of all bad movies. Except for Nicholas Tse, who was pretty, and psychopathic. He killed people with paper fans. Other than him though, the movie has nothing that makes it worth watching.

The Matador on the other hand, is funny without being embarrassing. It could use emphasis and punchline, but it's good ( Read more... )

I've seen PotC: The Deadman's Chest.

Technically, I suppose it wasn't a bad movie, except for the melodramatic parts about Will and his parental unit. I liked the beginning, I liked the set-up and the three-way fight was way cool. Elisabeth was cool (you'd have to be an idiot not to realise she's a girl though), Will was cool (see, he can be ( Read more... )

I actually have things to say today, go me!

I've finally seen DaVinci Code. It was enjoyable. Granted, I was cringing for about half an hour there (I swear, the dialogue was written by a mute and deaf person - come on, words have shapes and textures!), but once they got to Ian McKellen things got a lot smoother (both the dialogue and action). Remy ( Read more... )

I've seen The Omen today. It's good. Liev wasn't Gregory Peck, but overall I think they did a good job. Alright, maybe the fact that I knew what exactly was about to happen lessened the impact, but I enjoyed it. And even though I could spot several scenes imported from the '76 version direct (copy + paste!), there were also some surprising ones. ( Read more... )
