Oh Noes! Not another Twilight review!

7/28/10 10:18 pm
Add to Memories Tell a Friend
As the poet once said: “Twilight means never having to say you’re joking.”
--- Then WHY am I LOLing so hard right now? ---

Warning 1: The video is in Portuguese, but it has English subtitles.
Warning 2: The language is NSFW.
Warning 3: For the Twilight fans of my flist, it is an unflattering review.

Question!

Flist!

So… Here’s a question: What is the best notebook/laptop out there? Mac, Apple, Sony Vaio? Intel DuoCore, Intel 3, 5, 7? Windows Vista, Windows 7? 

I’m about to get one and I know noting about them… so I’m looking for both first and second opinions to help me choose the best one possible.

Hey, you guys!

I’m just stopping by to share the good news:

For those of you that don’t understand Portuguese, the article is talking about how the Brazilian equivalent of the Supreme Court maintained the decision to allow a pair of lesbian foster-moms to keep their adopted children.

Yes, it’s me! Posting again! Go figure!

 

So, Avatar...

Looks gorgeous. Interesting worldbuilding. And yet, does visual beauty really makes up for an unoriginal script?

 

 

 All in all, I thought it failed to meet the expectations.

 

I also noticed a distinct lack of Avatar reviews on my flist, so I have no idea what you guys think… Share?

Yes, I’m still here... I have not evaporated from the face of The Earth... I’m just trying to deal with some things RL threw at me (the good, the bad, and the worse)…

So, even though I hate to be the bearer of bad news, you should all be made aware of the end of the internet:

I’ll try to be around more often, I promise.

I love all things Avatar!

Okay, maybe not ALL things… the cast of the Avatar movie, for example, is a downright disappointment…

 

Have you ever heard of “whitewashing”? Simply put, it goes like this: they either have white people representing all ethnicities, or good guys = white people, whether bad guys = dark skinned people. That is, unfortunately, what the casting choices in Avatar appear to be all about.

 

So, if you are an Avatar fan, or even if your not, take a few minutes to visit this website:
http://racebending.com/petition/index.php and sign the petition to protest against this rather frequent Hollywood practice called “whitewashing”.

I am, as of today, a MASTER OF SCIENCE.
*insert evil laughter*

Well, one would think that after the stress of the last week I would be considering my imminent vacation now… but the truth is I’m up to my eyebrows in work, seeing that all the things that I’ve been postponing (and had conveniently forgotten) for after my final presentation are now demanding attention… -.-’

At least, one of those things is the diving trip that was supposed to have happened in October and didn’t, and has now been rescheduled for the 29th…

Oh well…

God, I love Halloween... It is one of my favorite holidays, and it is not even a Brazilian holiday... I wonder if that’s why I couldn’t convince any of my friends to celebrate it with me... oh well...

You say “Is that a lurker I see posting?!”, and I say “Yes my dearest flist, it is!”… because I really wanted to share the good news…

The first one is that the first draft of my dissertation came back today and, after I make the few corrections my professor asked for, I’ll be done… I’m actually seeing the light in the end of the tunnel… and that will be it for my Masters of Science *insert evil laughter*…

Now for the second and most important news: I took DIVING lessons!!! A DIVING COURSE!!! SQUEEEEEEE!!! And my first sea dive will be on the first week of October… OMG… I can hardly wait…

I’m just so excited right now

Movies

That’s it then, I totally missed the Twilight Scene aired on MTV… However, I did get two see two beautiful movies this past weekend. In fact, I spent the entire weekend with puffy, red eyes from all the crying I did…

The first is an older one called *The Notebook*. I found interesting how they managed to make a sad happy ending… I just thought that the acting per se left to be desired. The second one, and my personal favorite, was *Atonement*. Simply heartbreaking… James McAvoy’s performance was amazing…

I wish I could get my hands on the books as well.

Cable

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
On my last post I said I had cable. Which is true. And cable allowed me to watch MTV. Now, I spent the last week dying for Sunday to come, so I could watch the Twilight Scene that will be released on MTV Movie Awards tonight. And when I get home, after spending the day with my parents, I find out I don’t have MTV anymore.

I have no MTV.

NO. MTV.

In the desperate search for my missing channel I called the technical assistance and they tell me that today – TODAY – of all days – ALL DAYS – was the day that the contract they had with MTV ended.

Cable, you are made of fail.

MADE OF FAIL.

Howdy!!!

Yes! Who would have thought… I’m back on the land of the living… After more than a fortnight deprived of internet I’ve finally managed to log myself on again…

So… the news are: 1) work has been murder, which, on second thought, I guess it’s nothing new; 2) lots and lots of fics to catch up on; 3) B-Day was fine e full of lovely gifts, such as the Twilight series books (reviews later); and 4) now I’ve got cable, which means House MD as far as the eye can see.

Guns and Handcuffs

There is this Brazilian movie that has become a huge hit here in Brazil, and it is called Tropa de Elite (*Elite Squad*). Elite Squad shows some of the inner workings and most of the corruption process that assails the Brazilian Military Police, and its relation with the drug dealers.

Some critics described it as fascist. I disagree. It is an extremely violent movie, but it has no arguments in favour or against such aggressiveness. I think Elite Squad is more of a documentary, it simply shows the reality we are currently living in a very blunt (or perhaps, sharp) manner.

I don’t usually enjoy national productions, seeing that I’m a fantasy fan. Still, I nearly died when I saw this movie. I absolutely loved it. And since I am completely against drugs, and very partial to cops (which is a career I’ve dreamed about) I couldn’t help myself. I’ve bought the book. And the DVD.

But it’s okay. I guess that is what being a fan is all about.

Happy Valentine’s Day!!! Actually, Valentine’s Day doesn’t happen until June 12th in Brazil, but I see no reason to not start celebrating already…

Speaking of love, I watched *The Constant Gardener*… It’s both beautiful and heartbreaking… I wish I could buy the book… I would love to read that book… But I guess that’s not going to happen any time soon, seeing that I’m still wishing for *The Painted Veil* by W. Somerset Maugham…

So, I’m back.

If you thought I’ve been enjoying a nice and quiet vacation or the holiday that is the Brazilian carnival, I’m afraid you are sadly mistaken…

I’ve been working on my masters (which doesn’t look like it’s going to be finished any time soon), and trying not to go spare with far to much relatives & not enough space/alone time… On the bright side my bother did upgrade my pc, so things seem to be running a little smother…

Also, I bought the Pride&Prejudice DVD… I just could not help myself… I’m such a fangirl for Jane Austen’s girly sugary romance… XD

Now I just have to look forward to the great fics I’m bound to read at hpvalensmut…
