Oh my God, I just found the coolest cartoon ever. Yes, it is targeted at ten-year-olds, but it's awesome anyway. It has animated martial arts and elemental magic. It's bloody perfect. And it's even moderately funny, and that's quite a lot for kid show. The name of the new-found wonder in question is 'Avatar - The Last Airbender' and I just randomly ( Read more... )

Another, pathetically short batch of reviews. The backlog is still frighteningly huge, but at least it got teeny tiny smaller today.

Ok, I'm pretty angry right now. One, because I didn't get to make it with my Great Oscar Plan, meaning 'Letters From Iwo Jima' slipped away. I did actually download it on time, I learned the hard way that it pays to be prepared and start early when undertaking endeavors of the GOP scale. However, since the were no usable subtitles on the whole ( Read more... )

You'd really think that after the frantic hassle with the Oscars last year, I'd finally try to be a sensible person this year and set myself a feasible pace. I didn't. As a result, there's only three days left, and I still got to watch nine movies, review more than half a dozen already-watched ones and write a pre-Oscar report. A freaking disaster ( Read more... )

'Stargate Atlantis' packed up the third season and left me all bereaved, so I've been drowning my grief in copious amounts of fanfiction. I honestly thought I managed to break clean more than a year ago, but it looks like that was a premature assumption. I'm weak, a shocker. I'm not actually complaining all that much. SGA fandom might actually be ( Read more... )

The snow went bye-bye and Poland (or perhaps just Kraków, but it's not like I actually care about the rest of the country) is back to the state of weirdass kinda-spring. Which is all fine by me. It's finally warmer, the danger of fatal icy-surface-induced accidents dramatically subsided and the industrious builder-men are back doing their thing on ( Read more... )

Started to catalog all my watched movies on the IMDb and it turned out to be a shockingly tedious process. I'd probably have it all done pretty soon, but if anyone had this uncontrollable fancy to see how I rated the 500-plus movies I managed to put on already, here's the link.

It's snowing. I don't approve at all. I was all for that weird-ass snowless winter to continue much much longer. Possibly all the way into spring. That is not to be, apparently, because it looks like Lady Weather (*cough*bitch*cough*) remembered that it's Poland not Spain, and technically she was supposed to start with the whole snow thing already ( Read more... )

My first post in the new grand year 2007, which, given that it's already the second half of January, is really quite alarming. And my lj activity will probably stay on the low for quite some time yet. The Exams Time has finally rolled in (go away, you foul thing!) and pushing two majors at the same time really makes this fun part of the year extra- ( Read more... )

So I was supposed to step up on the movie watching. Well, imagine that, I actually did.
