The things you learn

It turned out lately that my eyes aren't brown, like I thought all my life and jotted down in my papers when necessary. They are hazel, if that's what half murky green/half reddish brown is. Shocking! o.O

At first I doodled Moomins...


.. then Charles got devious.

I've seen a few movies this summer. In brief:

Prometheus was enabled by the protagonist deciding that having a PhD means they don't need their brains anymore. I paid for it twice and I don't regret a dime of that money though. Fassy snarked his way through and Noomi Rapace set a new standard in badassery. :D

Brave I'm ambivalent about. Loved the visuals, enjoyed the story, loved Queen Elinor, hated the dubbing, overall need to watch again.

Bourne Legacy I enjoyed in the cinema, then promptly forgot what was it about. It's repetitive, once you've seen the first three. As an added bonus, early on there is a clip which sister lovingly dubbed as "Watch Us Kill All Potential Characters Of Ethnic Origins."

I have also watched ~10 episodes of the Polish version of Don Mateo (in short, Catholic priest is bored, solves crimes, thereby frustrating police chief) and it's ridiculous to an insane degree, swathed in pink sugar frosting, but you can't stop watching.

Finally, cyclists should be financially responsible for the accidents they participate in if they were wearing headphones on the road. No exceptions.

I loved Brave, and saw it twice! Her hair was a CGI marvel.

Didn't see Prometheus, I'll have to catch that on DVD.

I *did* see Dark Knight Rises. ZOMG Tom Hardy.

I need to see it again without dubbing to be sure. I walked out of the cinema impressed, but not overwhelmed, but I felt similarly after Tangled and that grew on me.

I've only seen Batman Begins, of the new trilogy. :D

I loved Prometheus. People in general complained that it didn't explain anything, but seriously, it's a horror movie. It doesn't need to (even if if\t explained enough for my tastes)!

I'll have to download Brave. The trailer gave me a very icky feeling but maybe the movie itself won't be as bad... Still haven't seen Prometheus -_- Loved Bourne Legacy because Aaron and Marta kicked major butt together. Marta was so awesome, loved her so much more than Bourne's Marie.

Depending on the source of the icky feeling, I thought the movie defended itself remarkably well against most pitfalls. It was heartwarming, all in all. :)

I liked Bourne Legacy for the butt-kicking and Marta, but otherwise it felt recycled.
