Fatty Libre

By terje | Published: December 31, 2006
One of my old schoolmates is a huge fan of Jack Black (or at least it seems so), and he almost went into shock yesterday, when I told him I didn’t like Black. After all, the last movie I’d seen where Black had the lead role was “School of Rock“, and that’s a pile of [...]

Arrogant Infidelity

By terje | Published: December 31, 2006
(EDIT: Please excuse the crappy pseudo-quality of this “review”; I just finished reading “V for Vendetta”, and my mind hasn’t recovered properly yet.) It would appear that Christmas is “romantic-comedy-time” as well as family time, for in the last week, I’ve seen more romantic comedies than I usually do in three or four months. The last one [...]

Fun Actually

By terje | Published: December 25, 2006
Watched “Love Actually” — one of my favourite romantic comedies — last night, and it was as swell as always. Not much to say about it, really, except that the cast is awesome, the stories are almost all cute as buttons (whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean; I don’t think I’m able to even imagine [...]

Three Necessities

By terje | Published: December 16, 2006
Just finished watching “Three Kings” — the movie that first changed me from a weapon-loving child to a more sober, pacifistically inclined kid. Of course, it wasn’t the only factor in my little transformation (because even though I may be an impressionable person, I’m not exactly in the habit of having my life changed by [...]

“Faster Than A Speeding Bullet: The Rise of the Graphic Novel”

By terje | Published: December 16, 2006
I read this quick little introduction to the history of graphic novels on Thursday, and I gotta say it was quite good. Naturally, I’m not too versed in the history of these things myself, but the book didn’t seem to disagree with what little I knew from earlier. First there was a couple of chapters dealing [...]

Serendipitiditidity

By terje | Published: December 16, 2006
Last Sunday, when riding a city bus on my way back from the cinema (where I’d seen “Children of Men” ), I suddenly felt the urge to watch “Serendipity” — a romantic comedy from with Kate Beckinsale and John Cusak. “Serendipity” supposedly means “a lucky coincidence”, or some such (it also looks as if it’s a [...]

Showing/telling issues? — BS3×6 Band Candy

By terje | Published: December 16, 2006
(At least I think it’s episode 6…) I have previously commented on how much better season one of ”Buffy the Vampire Slayer” is, compared to the way I remember it. The same is true for season two, which may have a majority (I’m open for arguments against this, though) episodes with relatively weak plots, but overall [...]

Random stuff

By terje | Published: December 14, 2006
Alright, I’ve time and time again said that this is supposed to be a rip-off of Loki’s Sensible Nonsense, so here we go — my first real “links of the week“-like post: This made me want to read the Hobbit again. A screenshot of my “comics” folder; it gives a good indication of what webcomics [...]

Funny…

I just got the urge to vacuum the inside of my computer.
