apparently there is this mania with young-adult novels where we have completely helpless heroines pining over bad boys. i am so appalled, like, i want something else

there's dawn of war. the description sounds good "fight club meets caravaggio and romeo+juliet" buuuuuuuuuut... i know what hollywood treats greek mythology. as in all the interesting bits are left out. so, i still think valhalla rising will be better.
also, there's centurion. the trailer looks a lot like king arthur. or gladiator. as in A LOT. now, don't get me wrong, i do think the battle scenes in gladiator were awetastic and joaquin phoenix was wickedly cool, but then again russell crowe was starring.
finished neverwhere (fell in love with richard mayhew slightly) and started to read "brave new world". i am so smart, go me.

when i can't find the books i want to read. like cold skin. look, gimme gothic horror stuff which sounds oh so slightly lovecraftian and i'm going to love it and hug it like whoa. good thing they're making a movie though, maybe this way it'll creep into the bookstores and stuff. and it's being made by david slade, which should be interesting and he's better deliver what i imagine this movie could be. i mean the antarctic! the weather official! the strange lighthouse keeper! the reptilian monsters! oh, the bleakness of it all! oh, the strangeness, the horror and the inevitable "who's the real monster here" question!
