Break

[chani]

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.
