Battlestar Galactica: Razor

broderic on November 26, 2007

Awesome! Can’t wait until March for it to return? Or if ever because of the writer’s strike.

What was the most interesting revelation?

I thought it was the return of the original Cylon centurions and the raiders. Did they ever show them before?

Blad Runner Final Cut

broderic on November 17, 2007

Blade Runner has many different prints out there one for tv, the original theatrical release, the 1991 so-called “director’s cut,” and now the 2007 so-called “director’s cut” or Final Cut.

Caught this at the new Landmark theatres in downtown Bmore. It’s a digital theatre chain specializing in digital projection. It’s just like your projection style home theatre system but with a 60 ft screen.

Blade Runner is a classic. What more can be said? It’s slow pace drives you loopy, but that’s what’s cool about it. Considering all the movies that descended from this one, it’s amazing how slow the pace is. No frenetic here.

4 of 5 stars.

If you’re near a tv, turn to TMC. Hitchcock’s Notorious is on. This is his early classic starring Cary grant and Ingrid Bergman. It’s a favorite.

Not posting much.

Can’t figure out what to say.

I’m sorry to my regular readers.

I’ll try to get better, but school work is making me anxious.

Love in the Time of Cholera

Lance Mannion, my favorite blog writer, writes of missed opportunity at the bookstore. Loved the tale. Once again, he shows how compelling a writer he is always provocative and provoking of thinking from his readers.

I spend lots of my time in bookstores. Friday and Saturday nights or Sunday days perhaps just hoping for some kind of missed opportunity as well. Very little is left to chance and as it so happens it’s happened very little to me.

Except today, I was in the BN burning off a coupon for 60% off an item (Ken Burn’s Jazz for only $72!). I pay for my purchase. The girl ringing me up says as she hands me the bag, “You know you’re handsome.”

Uhh, thanks?!?.

And I walk away.

It brings me back to Lance Mannion’s post. Missed opportunity?

Maybe. I haven’t flirted with a girl in a long time. Was this even flirting? Did she say it as a statement of fact? Or was this something else? I am probably flattering myself, but I don’t ever remember a girl tell me something like that. Just one of those things I guess.

Burgers at VIP Tio Pepe Exiting Hotel Alicia

Aug 18, 2007

12:40 Hotel Alicia
Ate at VIPS. Hamburger. Was really in the mood for some sort of rice dish. Walked around to the plaza del sol and back. Met a filippino. He talked about the cars have bumps on them because of parking. As long as the bumper doesn’t fall off. You’re fine.

8:35
Morning. It’s quiet. It seems no one’s awake. Got to go. Adiós, Madrid
