Goodness, this is what I call hashgacha pratit: finding Chava on wiw on the 1st day of Hannukah! She still resides in Manhattan and looks better than ever - she doesn't just look good, she's radiating with that soft, sophisticated light only elegant and happy [contented to some degree in this meaning] women can emanate ( Read more... )

The past is past. Bygone, and should be long ago forgotten. Dwelling on it brings no joy - the wise man remarked. There's no wisdom. Sometimes it happens that one can't let it go, that it erupts from that somewhere ( Read more... )

Desperately trying to pull an all-nighter and finish an article about Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, still procrastinating. Reading LJ and various lists of this year's winning tenders of filmmaking - many acquaintances are donated. Thinking about how the Estonian footage should be edited soon. Thinking about how the Á. interview should be edited sooner ( Read more... )

Fever! Fever! Fever!Tell me, why?! What the heck is so broken nothing can put my fever under 37 °C for a reasonable amount of time? Where should I go tomorrow, which doctor should I see, who'll help me?! I was so really okay yesterday, Baruch HaShem, but now, it's again 38.2 °C ( Read more... )

It was a real horror tale this time - a complete gothic movie with a glamourous visual world and stunning costumes. But unfortunately, I was the main hero, or rather the victim of this story. I went to a large, sterile office to do a 6-day assistancy job for Grafton. It was a rather strange building: everything was white on the inside, the rooms, ( Read more... )

I'm proud to announce that Tamakatsura no Eiga Hyoron is ready and had taken a beautiful shape. Please click the link if you're interested in Far- and not-so-Far-Eastern cinema! Articles, criticism, reviews, tv-schedule, programmes, books & soon even more, mostly in Hungarian, but there are some English summaries of the texts there, too ( Read more... )

I'm so grateful to myself for marking the last entry 'private' - it happens now and then, when I have these wild mood swings, jotting down some terrible stuff; accusing others or myself for things not happened and not done is simply unhealthy. Sometimes it comes to a point when I make up my own sets of affairs with a dark, negative trace; unreal ( Read more... )

"Írónak készülök, vagyis már talán vagyok is, de igazából csak amatőr"

"Olyasmi, amit én írtam és olyasmi is, amit nem (azokat, amiket nem én írtam, idézőjelbe fogom rakni)"I really should go in detail concerning the more important things, but I just can't afford the time needed to do so. Plus I should watch movies. I rather stick with the movies ( Read more... )
