Have you noticed how often movies (especially “summer blockbuster” types) are long integrated commercials nowadays? I think the most egregious that I can think of right now is probably Transformers, which was a series of car ads — GM specifically, I think — I dunno, I’m no expert. But anyways, Iron Man, it [...]
Movies:
Little Miss Sunshine — Awesome. I mentioned it already in another post, but gosh it was a good movie, well worth watching.
Wedding Crashers — Meh, ok. It definitely had some funny parts, but the problem is, it wanted to be two movies: a comedy and a romantic comedy. What the hell is that [...]
I’m going to try and be less wordy this time. :)
Books:
Lord Darcy by Randall Garrett — liked it. And I’d recommend it to anyone.
Death and Thraxas by Martin Scott — liked it. Fun read, but I wouldn’t buy it in hardcover. Paperback, sure.
And that’s it!
Movies:
Clerks — Ok. Funny parts [...]
We went to a pub quiz at Beckett’s last night. OMG, it was so damn hard! There were 8 rounds with 8 questions per round, which means a possible 64 points. We got 29. Yeah, less than half. But seriously the questions included stuff like “Paris Hilton got arrested for [...]
So I’m late again this month. Well, what can I say. But in my defense, I sorta thought I had nothing much to say this month cos I didn’t see much or read much in July. But I think that was really more the end of July, or something. I really [...]
I just realized, it’s like mid July and I never got around to posting about the stuff I read or watched in June. Well I don’t think I did. Partially it’s cos I didn’t read many books or watch many movies, but anyhows, here it is. (I can hear the cheers now! [...]
I keep not posting when I mean to post so then the next thing comes up and then I end up with a random post about a lot of disparate things, unless I concentrate. Oh well, not like it matters:p
Last week was excruciatingly hot. I mean for the Bay Area. Which isn’t [...]
In which I ramble on and on about the Books I’ve read and movies I’ve seen for May:
Books:
Hades’ Daughter, God’s Concubine, Darkwitch Rising (The Troy Game books 1, 2, and 3) by Sara Douglass: When I picked this up, it was because I liked Threshold (from last month) and this is by the same author. [...]
I’ve been keeping track of the movies and books I read with All Consuming, cos I never remember and it’s an easy way to keep track. Which usually I forget really fast, but now I have a way to remember. So I’m going to give my short opinions on them (without giving anything [...]
At 12:01am, sales of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince went on sale. In anticipation of this, lots and lots of bookstores all over opened late, with balloons and witches and cookies and drinks and whatnot.
Which I know cos just after midnight, I was home. But soon after, I wasn’t:p
If you look carefully, [...]
