Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

Oh, you mean love. You mean a big lightning bolt to the heart where you can’t eat and you can’t work and you just run off and get married and make babies. The reason you haven’t felt it is because it doesn’t exist. What you call love was invented by guys like me to sell nylons. Pretty sure about it. You’re born alone and you die alone and this world just drops a bunch of rules on top of you to forget those facts but I never forget. I’m living like there is no tomorrow… because there isn’t one.

Dailies #59

Man gets 9 years for killing childhood rapist.

Breaking Bad (S3) – distractiv. Din pacate, ca si Weeds, in sezonul trei se indeparteaza de comedie si se duce adanc in drama, povestea complicandu-se considerabil. Inca bun, dar imi placea mai mult cand nu era atat de No Country For Old Men.

True Blood (S1-2) – am detestat pilotul, dar, la rugamintile fervide ale altora, i-am dat o sansa episodului doi. S-a dovedit a fi o schimbare placuta. Amuzant, ridicol, abundand in povesti over-the-top, violenta si sex. Accentele tot ma scot din sarite, iar rezultatul final nu se ridica nici la un dram din maretia lui Angel, dar e vazubil, sezonul doi in mod special cu ale sale povesti titanice.

Farscape (S1-2) – la naiba, e a treia oara cand incerc sa-l urmaresc, dar cu acelasi rezultat – scoatere din sarite datorita povestilor previzibile, al stilului moralizator si-al actorilor mediocrii. Alt aspect oribil e faptul ca toate episoadele sunt stand-alone si nu e nicio intriga care sa tina intreg sezonul, producand o structura jenant de repetitiva in care fiecare episod nenorocit se termina la fel. Totusi ii prefer pe Ben Browder si Claudia Black asa decat ca-n SG-1.

Treme (S1) – David Simon s-a intors! Drama sa tragica despre New Orleans post-Katrina e grozava, dar paleste in comparatie cu The Wire (naibii, pana si The Corner si Homicide sunt privite altfel azi decat inainte sa-l cunoastem pe Bubbs). Acelasi stil de drama sociala cu o viziune grotesca asupra realitatii, prestatiile actoricesti sunt de prima mana – aproape toti sunt imprumutati din fostele sale seriale, dar are un element lipsa – grandoarea celorlalte, personajele, din pacate, nu mai incearca sa schimbe lumea. Excelent, doar la asta ne asteptam.

Brandon Sanderson Warbreaker – o lectura mirobolanta. Un fantasy absolut perfect, exact pe gustul meu, combinand worldbuilding incantator cu un sistem fermecator, original si extrem de elaborat al magiei, o intriga politica (o vrajba intre regate), accente feministe (personajele principale sunt doua surori) si o duzina de personaje complexe si-al naibii de amuzante si viclene. Ieri am ridicat cartea de la posta (multam, BD), ieri am terminat-o, desi (inca) mai am vreo sase lecturi in curs. Wartlover the Ugly, sper sa mai citesc de aventurile tale.

Stephen King Cimitirul Animalelor - excelent. Povestea stagneaza in prima suta de pagini cat te face sa te indragostesti de personaje, dar apoi te ia pentru o aventura macabra. Al naibii de intunecat si dement, chiar mai mult decat IT, de la jumatatea romanului mentine o stare perpetua de teama. E o lectura buna, chiar daca nu mi-a placut unde s-a dus (stupid si previzibil) si se simte datat.

** da, stiu, mai am sase lecturi in curs si nu reusesc sa termin niciuna, pur si simplu n-am chef de vreuna, habar nu am ce se intampla. Bine, de Chasm City chiar am chef, dar e versiunea GollanCZ 16×24 si are peste 1kg asa ca imi amortesc bratele dupa 30min de lectura. Argh. Cred ca ma apuc de Best Served Cold.

Broken because of you

- Been traveling.
- Well, thanks for all the swell cards and letters you sent while you were away.
- You kicked me out, what were you expecting – a candygram?
- I didn’t kick you out, you got yourself kicked out.
- Nice spin, you should work for Bush.
