Ernest Hemingway - "A Moveable Feast"

Is this one of his masterpieces? A little gem? Or just a novelle from the great master?

I can't shake the all too common "but where is this going?!" feeling. He is talking about his life in Paris, and yes, parts of it are interesting to read, but it just meanders on, softly and slowly, and... where are the arcs, the tension?

Danzig - "Thirteen"

There's something alt rock, punk, and Chris Rea about this.

the Hangover

Silly film. Not bad as far as comedies go (everybody kept telling me to watch it, even people who usually don't like this kind of film) and they managed to evade some of the terrible clichés, both in storytelling and jokes, but it wasn't particularly good. Can't say I remember laughing for real, once.

Some interesting songs on the soundtrack.

Wrecked Ralph

An amazing film for geeks, and truly Pixar. A bit over the top, perhaps, and nothing tremendously exciting, but I had a great time watching this.

24 (season 8)

Honestly, just in the mood for something easy. Supposedly this was a good season (I bummed out of the previous one. Probably had had enough of Jack Bauer for quite some time.)

I enjoyed it, although there were some serious stretches of plausability. Jack's transformation in the last few hours is intriguing. Is he really that beast? Is he forced into it? Does everybody he connects to, always dies, and why?

I'm not saying this is a deeply philosophical series, but it's a fun thing to contemplate.

But, wondering; the whole idea of showing things that happen simultaneously, seems to have been let go. It's only used to show the same sequence from multiple angles, or as the cross-over mix into commercial breaks. Too bad.
