Shallow rambling

I didn't have any intention of alluding to this personal story of mine, since many can consider it as shallow rambling, but I haven't been able to sleep too well these last nights with an odd turmoil disturbing my peaceful and boring daylife routine. All of you, dear weirdos, know of my recent (last of now) crush on actor Emile Hirsch. Maybe you have read my article and seen my fan-videos. Well, my crush was an inch of being ruined, unfortunately in cause of my "democratic" rule of behaviour, on-line and off-line (although thanks God I haven't experienced such things probably since highschool in real life). I need to get this off my chest and hopefully to kiss valeriana goodbye for awhile.

I tried not to take sides in a battle that had started time before I even admitted Mr. Hirsch's charms to myself. I was relatively new when some fans made some decisions which I was totally neutral about. But I simply conceded to listen to the other confronting part, only listening and trying to look for a bit of truth since this part claimed that decision as unfair. When someone approaches me (several times) and claims there's been an injustice, and although I refused initially to answer this person because I knew it could cause me problems with the rest of fandom, I just listen to the reasons that they have to offer.

Well, that's what I did, I listened to a person who wanted to explain what had happened according to her version. I'm sorry to say all this derived in me being terribly misunderstood by both parts, because sometimes the good actions tend to be punished. This rocky issue added to some more typical problems I had put up with at home, have masked my mood with a semi-depression, but I couldn't say to anyone I felt bad.

So I want to end this private self-pity rambling anti-party giving a little advice:

Be careful of wanting to be fair. In our time, that's just wasting precious bandwith, and the results will invariably disappoint you. It's a shame I didn't know the game better at this point, but I guess that total indifference isn't my style. And it's hard pretending to be what you are not.

Review: ‘Zodiac’ Director’s Cut (Blu-ray)

"The way I’d best describe Zodiac is almost as a documentary. The film makers went out of their way to make sure that the depiction of events was as close to the actual events as possible. You can see the attention to detail in the sets and clothing but most importantly, in the depiction of the crimes that the Zodiac killer is infamous for. Watching the special features, you see the efforts that they went through to make sure that nothing was left to chance, as they involved as many people connected to the case as possible.

All of the actors do a spectacular job, but particular attention should be given to Gyllenhaal and Ruffalo. They both hold the film together, and it’s their characters that we follow through most of the film. Robert Downey Jr plays the Robert Downey Jr character, which means he’s a sarcastic drunk who doesn’t play by the rules. You can look at this as a good or bad thing, depending on your opinion of Downey Jr. I took it as a good thing, as he brings some humor to an otherwise fairly bleak film. All in all, the entire cast does an extremely good job of bringing the time period to life".

Brokeback Mountain's superb Blu-ray

"Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal play two cowboys who, despite their traditional backgrounds, find that their close quarters and isolation in the wilderness leads them to a much more non-traditional relationship. They struggle mightily with their desires for a normal, traditional existence, and their desire for each other. The movie also featured breakout performances by Michelle Williams (as Heath Ledger’s wife Alma) and Anne Hathaway; each tries to cope with their increasing awareness of their respective spouses’ situations that run counter to their own moral beliefs.It was really great to see the late Heath Ledger onscreen again. I also watched The Dark Knight this weekend, and it along with Brokeback Mountain really brought home what a staggeringly good actor Heath Ledger was. His work will be missed – very few actors could inhabit a character with such ultimate believability. You’ll have a difficult time bettering the presentation of this excellent movie than with this superb Blu-ray from Universal. Very highly recommended". Source: www.audaud.com

Jet engines

Seeing these pics of Jake at the Bourget Airport, you can notice the spirals in the private jet engines. It caught my eye, because it's a kind of dejà vu of the jet engine that mysteriously fell over the bedroom of Donnie Darko in the beggining and the end of the film."Point B is the point at which an airplane engine lands on Donnie Darko's house. It is also the point at which the tangent universe begins. It is unclear as to why or how the tangent universe begins, but in the main timeline Donnie is killed, while in the tangent universe, Donnie is sort of called out of his room by a mysterious force and thus is not killed by the engine. As the movie goes, shortly after point C, the entire universe (I assume this includes the main timeline as well) is destroyed". Source: kaedrin.com/weblog

Gyllanhaal-esque Eggold in United States of Tara

"Tara and Kate set up camp in a roadside motel that also happens to be the setting for a pharmaceutical-sales convention. Slipping into a bikini, hotel robe, and invented identity, Kate proceeds to flirt up one of the pharma reps, the Jake Gyllenhaal–esque Ryan Eggold. United States Of Tara - 1x09 Possibility (2009)

(In true U.S. of T. fashion, we digress into arcane pop-culture referencedom. While we’re at it, though: In a coincidence of Sunday-night-TV pop-culture tangents, this week’s episode of Family Guy makes reference to 
United States of Tara creator Diablo Cody, and Nate Corddry’s U.S. of T. character loans a Family Guy DVD to Kate.)

Anyway, Eggold's legal-drug dealer is entranced by Kate’s world-traveling French-Canadian starfucker persona. She regales him with tales of overcoming a move from Quebec to Monte Carlo, a “fucked-up thing” with Lance Armstrong, and learning to love her strange name (“Nordic”). They repair to a hot tub to soak and suck face. When Tara tries to break things up, Kate throws a fit and tells her mom she was crazy to think their road trip would be “one of those, 'let’s get French manicures mother-daughter getaways'. The confrontation precipitates an identity transition for Tara, into T, the self-proclaimed slutty teenage alter.
T is unceremoniously banished from the jacuzzi, so she takes refuge in a nearby tattoo parlor".
