So, I finished Merlin.

Academically, I can admit that the series was not wrapped up as well as it could have been. Too many themes brought up and hammered in our heads... and then brought to nothing.

That said, I was still weeping like a baby throughout.( spoilers )

Day 05 - Favorite love story in a movie
Easy. Anakin and Padmé, though in a sense their story to me "transcends" movie-dom. I've expounded over why I love this story countless times, so I won't do so again, suffice it to say I love the doomed, epic, mythic resonance of it.

Day 06 - Favorite made for TV movieDo mini-series count? I see there's a ( Read more... )

Well, OKC dodged a bullet on the severe weather! On the one hand, I'm glad we didn't get hit with any tornadoes; on the other, I'm kind of miffed I missed out on a free steak dinner tonight for nothing. :P Oh well, life goes on. I did get some gorgeous cloud shots, which I've posted on my Facebook.

Day 04 - A movie that makes you sadEasy. ( Read more... )

Day 03 - A movie that makes you really happyWALL-E. This is such an unbelievably perfect movie - damn near flawless. It's cute and sweet and funny and touching without being overly saccharine. And considering the robot characters don't have much in the way of recognizable dialogue, an amazing job is done establishing their personalities and the ( Read more... )

Movies: Day 01- The best movie you saw during the last year
I didn't see a whole lot this past year, but of those? Probably Avatar. No, it's not an original story, but what is anymore? The best movies nowadays are those who can successfully tell an old story in a new way. I was of course muchly impressed by the detail of the special effects, ( Read more... )

Made some progress today thanks to being snowed/iced in. :) As expected, the sun going down led to the refreezing of the roads, making them far nastier than they were earlier. Good thing I didn't head out; wherever I was, I'd be stuck. And it looks like I'm stuck tomorrow, too - little sister doesn't get off work until late afternoon, right ( Read more... )

After a couple of marathons, finished Book 1.

( scattered thoughts )

So, since a number of my shows are on hiatus right now (or soon will be), I decided on a whim to jump into A:TLA, aka pretty much the most-worshipped animated series I've probably ever seen on my f-list ( Read more... )

I've always been a sort of amateur enthusiast for Arthuriana (albeit not as well-read as I should be), so I suppose it was only a matter of time, especially after all I've been hearing about it on my f-list, before I checked out BBC's MerlinLong story short: after a fairly bumpy start, I think I've been sucked in. By and large, it seems to be a ( Read more... )

I love it when people say "I don't mean to be argumentative with you..." then immediately start arguing with you. In this case, one of our licensees, who thinks she knows more about my job that I've been doing for three years than me. I finally talked her down, at least ( Read more... )
