On real pain and invisible ones

I'm speechless!

Well not really, but Nip/Tuck last episode was so dark, so tragic. It even made me cry. And I loved it. Joss Whedon trained me to be hurt and to like it...

I know I've only been doing tv reviews lately but I'm going to see Serenity tomorrow and I'm planning to watch Polanski's Oliver Twist on Sunday, so film reviews will come! But for now, Nip/Tuck deserves one!

Break

I'm taking a short break. I've finished the preparation of my course on "birth and spreading of Christianity", and I will resume my marking after dinner. The papers aren't very good. Yet I found it was a good idea to give my eldest students a text by M. Gorbatchev about N. Khrouchtchev and his own action in 1956. but the commentary they made is mostly superficial. *sigh*

I must  get it done tonight if I want to go at the movies tomorrow afternoon.

I'm anxious about seeing Serenity, afraid that I might not like it. There aren't many Sci-Fi movies that I find really really good. Not because I don't like Sci-Fi but because I do. Not an easy genre at all.

If I had to give you a list, it would be a short one:  Blade Runner, Metropolis, Outland, The Matrix, Cube(and it's faux-science fiction actually) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (but the Sci-Fi side is just a way to tell something about the couple).

Of course Gattaca wasn't bad, same with Minority Report but not that good. Of course I really enjoyed Terminator or The Empire Strikes Back at the time and I still like them, but they were flawed too. All the other films I saw have been quite disappointing peu ou prou, while being sometimes entertaining, or even bad.
