"Damned isn't just a word."
Jun. 16th, 2008 06:30 pmHey, hey guys! Things have been kind of crazy, what with colleging it up and trying to sort out a computer-switch. These coupled with the fact that I've caught some sort of hideous cough-plague has had me feeling generally blergh, so I am going to be making some posts about stuff that is awesome to cheer myself up. And eat chocmint biscuits. Om nom nom.
I am going to talk about Night Watch because it is ridiculous, and stylish, and Russian, and kind of half way between being really clever and really not. THUS IT IS YAY.* I mean, seriously, you guys, I can tell it isn't a great movie, really, too loaded down with plots and without quite enough confidence in its style, jumping from shot-to-shot, afraid to linger, but see this? This is me not caring.
It probably helps that I read the book. The plot would not have made any sense at all without that.
( Cut for those of you who don't care, which is probably everybody. )
