Dailies #78

– Peter Jackson Announces ‘The Hobbit’ Cast.

– Arctic Report Card: Region Continues to Warm at Unprecedented Rate.

– Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day to grace several episodes of “Eureka” with their royal geekiness.

– Bruce Willis “regrets some movies.” He doesn’t specifically mention Hudson Hawk or Look Who’s Talking Too or Color of Night or Bonfire of the Vanities or The Last Boy Scout or North or The Jackal or… you get the point.

– Markus Zusak • The Book Thief – una din cele mai placute lecturi ale anului, o combinatie geniala intre The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, The Name of the Wind si Anne Frank. Dupa cum au zis si altii, este unsettling, thought-provoking, life-affirming, triumphant and tragic, this is a novel of breathtaking scope, masterfully told. It is an important piece of work, but also a wonderful page-turner. I cannot recommend it highly enough.– Rubicon (S1) – marea speranta a acestui sezon, o serie conspirationista cu o distributie de invidiat. James Badge Dale, ca si-n 24 si The Pacific, este fenomenal, dar toti ceilalti, Miranda Richardson in mod special, ca doar avem pretentii de la ea, sunt tragic de plictisiti si se vede. Inspirat de bunatatile paranoice ale anilor ’70 - All The President’s Men, Three Days of the Condor, The Parallax View si The Conversation, Rubicon se vrea a fi un epic somptuos, dar esueaza, de departe chiar. M-a plictisit pana la lacrimi, iar singurul motiv pentru care l-am vazut cu totul si nu l-am abandonat dupa pilot e ca nu aveam ce altceva sa vad. De evitat.
