Telly time
I was supposed to go and see The Lost City of Z by James Gray, tonight, but it has been postponed...so here I am, in front of my small screen, instead of being at the cinema. I will soon go to bed and read some crime novel, but before that, let's talk about tv shows, shall we?
I'm behind Feud - yes I watch Feud, if only for the atmosphere and the ( Read more... ) -
Spring break is here
I'm on holidays...sort of. I managed to hand back all the papers I had to mark so I can focus on the thesis writing over the two week break that is starting today.
I'm exhausted but I have no choice, I have to write chapter 9, damnit!
Yesterday evening, I went to the cinema and saw Logan. The film totally deserves the praises it has gotten. The ( Read more... ) -
All hail Noah Hawley!
I'm still in Marking Hell, and still coughing (haven't stopped since the car thing), but I'm dropping by to post because I have to say how great chapter 7 of Legion was. That show is bloody creative, isn't it? Every episode was so far, but this 7th one managed to outdo them all, breaking new grounds with some memorable scenes. A magnificent hour of ( Read more... ) -
New tv shows
So far, I'm enjoying The Good Fight. Diane was my favourite character from The Good Wife so it's nice to have her back, even without Will...
And Cush Jumbo, who was the highlight of a final and terrible season, is simply terrific. And it isn't only because fo her fabulous hair.
Also, speaking of British actors, I have to confess that I've been ( Read more... ) -

Well done, Gordon! -
A last movie before entering Marking Hell
I saw The Handmaiden (which is called Mademoiselle in France, an interesting choice because it actually switches things) yesterday evening. I really enjoyed it. It's a pecculiar film, because it sometimes verges on ridiculouness and burlesque, or just indulges in them. It is beautifully shot and rather cleverly written, hiding genre within genre.

Why, but why does nobody talk about Westworld on LJ?
Oh well, even though I'm just talking with myself, I need to write a few thoughts down. Last week's episode was pretty great. I didn't find the time to write a review but I really, really, liked it.

Westworld
So, who else has watched the premiere of Westworld?
I mean, western setting, robots and Ed Harris (the rest of the cast is great too, but I have always been a fan of Ed Harris)!!!!! How could I not watch it?!
I had been craving for a good robot show since BSG and Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles ended. I was so excited and Westworld didn't ( Read more... ) -
The time of the goddesses
Yesterday, I had a drink with one of the few friends who are still in Paris and we went to the cinema to see a film that is flawed and yet necessary ( Read more... ) -
Still raining, so I'm watching tv shows
I've started binge-watching the new season of Orange Is The New Black. Poussey remains my favourite!
I also watched Game of Thrones and Penny Dreadful. Writing isn't both shows' forte (GoT is all about the visuals, the action and the spectacle; PD is all about the atmosphere and Eva Green's performances) and I would even say that they suck at ( Read more... )
