Hair Fashion in the 80ies

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

I watched the 1981 BBC adaptation of ‘Sense & Sensibility’. Quite horrible in some ways - esp. characters’ hair - but all in all not terribly bad. But the actress who played the supposedly spirited Marianne was really really bland. Anyway, I had to rewatch the 2008 adaptation right afterwards. This one is really close to perfect and I fell all over in love with it again.

PS: How can a film like Before it had a name be rated PG-13 while other films such as ‘Ghost World’ are rated R???!!

Sometimes getting broken gives you strength

WOW! Marion Cotillard recorded a song :D I’m so happy and am constantly listening to the song. It’s called ‘The Strong Ones’ and is available for listening and downloading on Love.Cartier.Com in the section LOVE Music. Parts of the proceeds of selling LOVE bracelets are going to various charities around the world apparently. Congrats Marion! Keep going on!

Other than that I’ve watched the complete series of ‘Bones’ and am totally in love with it. I love the character of Dr. Temperance Brennan and her relationship with Booth. And isn’t the humour in the series the greatest?!

CBS cancelled Moonlight. I was so sure it would get renewed I was really shocked - as was the cast. They’re trying to get it picked up by another TV outlet…. Keeping my fingers crossed. But should by some unfortunate turn in the bumby road ‘Moonlight’ has been on ever since its beginnings Sophia be no longer part of the series I won’t watch. What’d be the point?! Esp. since I was getting the impression Alex was a bit bland and Beth more and more only just Mick’s accessory. Anyway, far too early to write this chapter off and to be really critical. Let’s wait & see.

As of Friday I won’t have my regular internet connection anymore. Just so you know. On Saturday I’m moving house and will then have to figure out how to set up internet. I’m really excited to start a new chapter in my life! As of Thursday I now am also a proud owner of a car :D Though I’m not sure how wise the decision was to get a car seeing as how prices for gas are only increasing…

Bionic Woman

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

I’ve watched all 8 episodes within 2 days… I can see why it maybe hasn’t been exactly drawing the masses in front of the TV as they expected. But, in my opinion it is good enough and I certainly value Michelle Ryan’s good looks hehe. She’s a gorgeous lead and all in all it is a series to my liking. Reminds me of Alias - though that one had a faster pace. Lately, I’ve become extremely tired of patriotism in movies - in most cases it happens to be American ones. So far I’ve not become fed up with the way Bionic Woman portrays this aspect. I only hope we do get some more episodes next year! Maybe I should have waited with catching up on the series until the future of the series is confirmed…
