Castle 4.10

Excellent episode. I am starting to like the new captain. About Castle, I have just finished catching up with all the 4 seasons. Now I know everything, and I love it.

‘Don’t get up yet, stay in bed.’ ‘Castle.’ ‘Kate, hi…’ ‘Castle.’ ‘What?’ ‘Did you do this?’ ‘What?’ ‘Stop saying what and wake up!’

‘Handcuffs. Kinky.’ ‘Castle, It’s not funny.’ ‘I didn’t say funny, I said kinky. And I didn’t cuffed us.’ ‘You think I cuffed us?’

‘They look like police cuffs.’ ‘Somebody else did this to us. My watch is missing.’ ‘Mine too. And my wallet.’ ‘And my badge, and my gun.’

‘And my phone. I’ve just renewed my contract.’ ‘Would you stop joking?’

‘Okay, lift my top.’ ‘I think you might still be under the influence, but okay.’ ‘Castle, not like that. Okay, you can put my shirt down.’

‘What the hell did Castle get her into?’

Bones is back to good! poor Clark couldn’t focus cause Bones was touching her breasts all the time. and ‘Would you mind if I spent the evening naked?’ that line!

Not many episodes came out this week. I am currently hooked on Castle, still have 13 episodes from the middle of s03 to watch and 7 episodes from season 4. Excellent show.

Dream House. Contagion. Hidden 3D. 21 grams. Stay

Dream House

In the first 30 minutes, this psychological thriller seemed to be heading into a predictable Shutter Island direction, but by the end  it’s actually very solid. As much as I love supernatural horror, I am happy this wasn’t the case here. Yes, a ghostly aspect is present here, but it falls more into daydreaming category. Daydreaming has always been one of my favorite things in the world. Daydreaming, not to be mistaken with procrastinating, can be extremely comforting, but also emotionally draining and painful. Love both Naomi Watts and Rachel Weisz, so of course I enjoyed the film and I’m happy I saw it at the cinema. It also stars little monster Kayla from Desperate Housewives, now in her teens. Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig had so much chemistry in this film, they ended up falling in love and getting married in real life. I understand everything about the film, except for why the hitman killed the children.

8/10

Contagion

The doc was definitely my favorite character. The scene with people fighting for food was really well shot. Every time someone coughed at the cinema, the whole crowd looked at them. Best scene? kate winslet in a plastic bag, yeah, sorry.

7/10

Hidden 3D

It was not that bad actually. The house was beautiful, the story not as bad as it looks like. Enough blood, adequate movie, was actually a little bit surprised how good it turned out.

Finale of the whole series. That is super sad, as this show was pretty much brilliant. Last episode, masterpiece. the parts with richie’s mother, when she found out, when she found him and the car scene, were the best.

American Horror Story 1.08

holy shit, I was right! Tate is the rapist in the rubber suit! Now he’s screwing the mother and the daughter. this show is just excellent. but Vi is a whore, how the fuck can u let ppl take away your mother, when u know she’s NOT mentally ill? what the fuck is wrong with u, kid? but Vivien, noo! why are you sending my second favorite character to some nut house?! and no jessica lange in this episode, wtf?

‘I don’t believe in angels, but I do believe there’s a constant struggle between light and dark in the world. Maybe sometimes the light can win out, but in my experience darkness usually prevails.’

‘We all want life to have some kind of meaning. Seems like the older we get, the harder we look for it, the harder it is to find n some of us just look at the wrong place. But if our lives don’t have meaning, what can we leave behind for those we care about?’

Dexter 1.04

‘The man who terrorized the Pacific North West for 20 yrs all he has left is a box of teeth?’

‘Is this what happens to serial killers at the end of their lives?’

‘When you can’t do this anymore what do you have then?’ ‘More?’ ‘You’re kidding yourself. All I ever cared about was killing and I can’t…’

even do that right anymore. That is what you got to look forward to. This is your future and it includes adult fucking diapers!’

‘…did her hair for her for prom, and I told her all about birth control when she didn’t know who to ask, and we were sisters, you know?’

‘Yeah, because the only thing you’re more addicted to than booze is having a baby, which is sad, because, hell, you’re friggin’ barren.’

‘…about your alcoholism?’ ‘I don’t have a problem. That’s the difference here. I don’t need to drink. I haven’t had a drink in months.’

‘You down a bottle of wine with every meal. U drink when you’re happy n when u’re sad n when it’s Tuesday. Should we do an intervention…’

‘…neuro fellowship. So now I wanted to have some fun. I made a mistake, and now I’m fine. I would think you’d get that.’

‘U’re clever! Creating a scene like a crazy artist! Genius! Keep it up, Keep it up! I’m gonna grab a photographer. The crazier, the better!’

‘Mrs Delfino, you are officially sold out. Thanks to this lovely lesbian couple.’ best line.

‘There comes a time when we must expose our weaknesses. When our secrets can no longer remain private. When our solitude can no longer be denied. When our pain can no longer be ignored. But sometimes we feel so alone that a weakness we thought we’d overcome suddenly becomes to strong to fight.

‘I never wanted people to see these paintings. I feel miserable.’ ‘Then congratulations, you’re finally an artist.’

Greys Anatomy 8.09

Everything is so fucking perfect in this episode. I was always mad at the writers because tey never wrote anything good about Teddy, who I loove, so when I saw this fucking amazing midseason finale I was broken and happy that this character is going to be drepressed for a while. Henry, Never seen that one coming! I am not liking the the Arizona/Mark friendship, this is just terrible. Meredith and Derek not getting Zola back, nicely written. And Alex and Mer, that was good too. My mother couldn’t sit through all Cristina screwing with time scenes, and yes that was hard to watch. Excellent episode, best of this season so far.

Nooo! I do not accept this! Henry, why Henry!? The writers just ruined my 2nd favorite otp. I’m sorry, Teddy, how could they do this to you?

”I had a terrible day.’ We say it all the time. A fight with the boss, stomach flu, traffic. That’s what we describe as terrible, when nothing terrible is happening.’

‘Henry wants to go to med school, can u believe it? A med student at his age, that’s crazy. This could ruin the next 5 or 10yrs of my life.’

‘She’s my friend! If she finds out I waited, she will never forgive me.’ ‘Her husband just died in our OR. She’ll never forgive any of us.’

‘When the really terrible things happen, we start begging a God we don’t believe in to bring back the little horrors and take away this.’

‘It seems quaint now, doesn’t it? The flood in the kitchen, the poison oak, the fight that leaves you shaking with rage.’

‘Would it have helped if we could see what else was coming? Would we have known that those were the best moments of our lives?’

The Strokes

As I’ve been checking out new bands, I come across The Strokes. I’ve heard of them, but never actually their music. So I turned on one song, I believe it was Under Cover of Darkness and their music just didn’t suit me first as It was ‘too happy’ for my sad existence. I’m all about music first, not words, so If I don’t hear electric guitars/drums playing the usual rock or metal sound It won’t get my attention. I turned them off, then after few days I came exhausted after school and decided to give them another chance. Downloaded the ‘Angels’ album and started listening to it. My reaction was still ‘the music’s too happy for me’, then I just started doing homework with Angels album in the background. whatever I’m doing music’s always playing. After a few songs I was starting to like it, and after 2 times of listening to the whole CD, I started to actually enjoy it.

Still I can’t say I’m absolutely crazy about them, their music is still to energetic and happy for me, but puts me in a pretty positive mood, so If that was the idea, then The Strokes passed this test.

Some of the songs I now find very good.
