Oct. 27th, 2010 11:16 pmToday is my parents’ anniversary and Papa bought two dozen white roses and for once Mama did not criticize his flower choice. There are pretty white flowers everywhere in the house now. (In Russian tradition even number of flowers are only brought to cemeteries and funerals, so we have to have more than one vase for the flowers; odd number in each.)
“Caprica” got cancelled today. I actually gasped when I saw the official announcement because in this fall season it is my favorite show. I look forward to it the most – I love the characters, I love the storylines that challenge the audience like good sci-fi is supposed it. I love it more than “Battlestar Gallactica” and I did not expect this after watching the pilot (it took me two tries to get into ‘Battlestar’ too). I hope the last episode of the season will wrap things up or at least they do a movie to wrap it up. This was not completely unexpected news (it reminds me of “Dollhouse” last year, waiting for a good show to be cancelled and expecting it) but I’m really disappointed about it. What I’m pissed about is that the last five episodes are not being aired right now – and we have to wait until next year or until the DVD. Damn it.
“Post Grad” They did not have enough story to sustain the movie so they did stupid subplots like killing the cat. This was a very uneven movie that had potential but never quite got there. I’m not sure if I like that she quit her ‘dream’ job to follow a guy across the country but then she is 22 and she is not sure of anything for the first time ever and is following one thing she is sure about. Alexis Bledel is always bad at acting like a girl in love – I never believe her. And she pretty much plays the same character all the time. But there were good moments in this movie and it certainly captures the uncertainly of living after graduation and life vs how society promises it would be. Verdict: meh.
