The promise of Touch

I rarely write about series in this blog, because I find it kind of boring to praise (or not) a production based solely on your own experience with it.

However as my TV time is diminished lately (and is threatening to approach zero) I had to choose wisely what to watch.

When the premiere of Touch aired several months before it was actually scheduled to begin, the first episode was kind of unusual, exciting, intriguing, promising... Who was to guess right then and there that this same story will repeat over and over and over again with each end every episode and nothing else will ever happen, not even a hint for actual line of events moving forward while the season progresses.

There is of course the possibility for speculation. Maybe this phone travelling around the world will have some meaning at the end, but I would not hold my breath (Lost anyone?). What else? Maybe those Japanese    girls will have something to do with the whole thing? Who knows.. (yeah, Lost, Heroes and so on - you expect things to matter, but the scrip writers think otherwise.

The take away: don't expect too much of those 'sci-fi' flicks. Most of them are disappointing anyway.

What is better than Glee?

Short answer: Mary Lou by Eytan Fox. 

Why? Because it treats real life and real problems and not high school imaginary drama with bunch of adults in their mids pretending to be high-school students. Yup. 

And the music is better. I like Svika Pick! And you like it too, if you like Harel Skaat. 

Attention (Anti Semites): the movie is from Israel and is in Hebrew
Attention (Anti Gays): the movie contains some homosexual imagery and transvestite imagery - nothing profane though. 

Transformers (3)

Най-тъпият филм, който съм гледал, с най-неясните ефекти. Това което виждах на екрана беше онова, което виждам като пусна миксера - нещо метално се върти. Толкова. Нищо друго. Гений на компютърните анимации или болен мозък!?

Второто.

Повече никакви трансформатори!

Actually I was about to talk about two films I saw today:



Space chimps - pretty stupid one, really no one should ever see this if older than 3.



Boy A - UK. This should say enough. I mean, the British accent is really really bothering me, most of the time I was completely unable to understand what the f*ck are they talking about. They even say f*ck differently - like fock or something. The R is completely missing (but of cou*se, this is b*itish English). Being said that the film is based on the novel of Jonathan Trigell (also named Boy A) I expected it to be interesting. And it was, it made much more sense than 99 percent of the US productions. But compared to "No night is too long" it was not such a brilliant work. Meaning, without having read the book, I believe the scenario translation of the novel was not that good. Still the movie is a good one (except the already mentioned flaw, namely the British accent).
If you are questioning yourself about the title of this post, it was a reminder of me for the wonderful boobees of a friend of mine, which I haven't seen recently (I know, it is a shame). The girl in the film have had such nice ones. Like this friend of mine... hum.. wondering what is she doing now. Probably sharing them with her husband. Again, such a pity.
