<p>&#8211; <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2010/07/bill_murray_only_did_garfield.html">Bill Murray&#8217;s biggest regret? Garfield, but  that&#8217;s because he thought it was a Coen Brothers movie: &#8220;At least they  had whats-her-name. The mind reader, pretty girl, really curvy girl,  body&#8217;s one in a million?&#8221;</a>.</p>
<p>&#8211; <a href="http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9780345504968/The-Passage">Justin Cronin &#8211; The Passage</a> &#8211; delicios. Fictiune apocaliptica facuta cum trebuie &#8211; un sfarsit credibil, personaje bune, twisturi interesante, plotting excelent, pesimism cat cuprinde. Din pacate, cartea incepe abia dupa prima treime &#8211; undeva pe la pagina 250, atunci are loc schisma, iar pana atunci e doar expozitiune banala care m-a scos din sarite pentru ca nu parea sa aiba, si mai tarziu am realizat ca ea chiar nu avea, legatura sau influenta cu restul romanului. Credeam ca mor cu cartea in brate, o caramida hardcover &gt;1kg, care ma plictiseste la lacrimi. De vreo patru ori am tot renuntat la ea si mai citeam recenzii pozitive intre timp, incercand sa inteleg ce le place lor. Ei bine, lor le place aventura post-apocaliptica care incepe dupa primele 300pg. Cartea e, de fapt, grozava, desi un amalgam din cele mai bune elemente ale genului (gandeste-te <em>The Stand </em>cu Reapers din <em>Blade</em>), daca incepi lectura de la pagina 260, de la inceput citind doar capitolul 2 (cel cu mailurile, +-6pg). Acum mai ramane doar sa se publice si restul trilogiei, desi cine stie cat o sa dureze si asta. Voi astepta insa in liniste. *** */2</p>

<p>&#8211; <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100715/ts_afp/environmentclimatewarmingus_20100715205842">Last month was the hottest June ever recorded on Earth, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday</a>.</p>
<p>&#8211; <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1295255/The-wedding-hell-Grooms-mother-collapses-guests-parent-dies-page-boy-suffers-fit-children-end-hospital.html"><em>Wedding  from hell: Ringbearer has a seizure, the  groom&#8217;s mother collapses, a  guest learns his father has died and two  children suffer head injuries.

<p>&#8211; <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/crashing_juvie_jail_orgy_party_HLp93wIe7uYz3CGrv0jk2L">The state&#8217;s youth detention agency was ripped as incompetent in a blistering report yesterday for allowing three murderers and a robber to attend a sex-soaked &#8220;social dance&#8221; at a facility in Orange County with less security than one would find &#8220;at a high-school prom&#8221;</a>.</p>
<p>&#8211; China Mieville &#8211; The City &amp; The City &#8211; l-am asteptat atata vreme, am citit atatea recenzii sclipitoare, si totusi e doar o dezamagire crunta, un rateu pe care l-am oprit putin dupa jumatate. Suna mai bine cand o spun in engleza: there was no fantasy, the case a boring procedural of typical historical fiction, the characters flat and paper thin, the dialogue stilted and terrible, the plotting tedious. What a waste.</p>
<p>&#8211; Amintindu-mi cine navigheaza nava &#8211; acum ca <a title="Steven Moffat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Moffat" target="_blank">Steven Moffat</a>, geniul din spatele Coupling, Jekyll si al episoadelor timpurii perfecte din Dr Who, e la carma, i-am mai dat o sansa noului sezon din <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436992/">Doctor Who</a>. Pustiul care-l joaca pe noul doctor ma enerveaza la fel de tare ca prima oara cand am incercat sa-l vad, dar am reusit sa ignor asta restul sezonului &#8211; pe care l-am vazut intr-un maraton tipic intr-o duminica plictisitoare. Scenariile sunt absolut fantastice, in special episoadele 3, 4, 5 si 10 (scris de <a title="Richard Curtis" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Curtis">Richard Curtis</a>), iar sfarsitul sezonului &#8211; duetul 12 si 13 &#8211; e o dovada incredibila de <em>story-telling</em> combinand tot ce-am iubit vreodata si in special sezonul asta la Dr Who, ba chiar aruncand si chiuveta in ecuatie, pentru a realiza un arc de poveste nemaipomenit, comparabil cu sezonul 4 din Angel si sezonul 5 din Supernatural, realizand o apocalipsa cvasi-perfecta. Noua asistenta, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2394794/">Karen Gillan</a>, asa cum am mai zis, e de-a dreptul breath-taking &#8211; se pare ca nu am fost singurul naucit de <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1659547/">Carey Mulligan</a> in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1000252/">Blink</a>. Superba <em>si </em>in stare sa joace? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6-UftBHk9A"><em>Hello, nurse</em></a>. Atot-perfecta <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Lizzie Corday</span> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005094/">Alex Kingston</a> ne onoreaza cu prezenta in cateva episoade. In rest&#8230; ce pot sa zic? Cel mai bun sezon al serialului a fost saturat cu povesti bune, toti inamicii posibili si foarte mult umor. O schimbare bine-venita.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>G. R. R. M. a mers ceva mai greu decat ma asteptam &#8211; le vedeam ca mici adorabilitati pentru un total de <em>doar </em>4000pg,   dar uitasem ca sunt paperbackuri indesate a caror formatare duce 43 de   randuri pe pagina, nu-i de mirare ca varianta Nemira are 6000pg. Lectura a inceput cu stangul deoarece dinainte sa ridic coletul de la posta deja eram presat de timp &#8211; in cele doua zile dintre expedierea coletului si sosirea lui cineva a cumparat cartile, asa ca aveam termen limita o saptamana &#8211; miercuri la 14 le-am ridicat, miercuri la 13 trebuie sa le expediez, ca sa le poata da vineri. Ca sa fie potul indulcit, atunci a venit si Bigbro, deci miercuri si joi au fost pierdute intre pizzerii/baruri/sali de biliard. De vineri insa, cand a plecat Bigbro, am intrat intens in ele &#8211; vineri prima carte, sambata a doua, duminica si azi a treia.</p>
<p>Prima carte, <a href="http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/9780006479888/A-Game-of-Thrones">A Game of Thrones</a>,  <span id="more-4576"></span>864pg Bantam/1216pg Nemira, a inceput greu &#8211; citeam ore intregi si abia se vedea ca am parcurs ceva  din carte. In cele din urma, si-a mai dat drumul &#8211; spre sfarsitul  primei carti &#8211; odata ce-am memorat arborele genealogic al famiilor si  istoria personala a tuturor, nemaifiind nevoie ca la fiecare suta de  pagini sa ma indrept spre Appendix sa vad despre care nepot al fiului  fostului ajutor al regelui era vorba. Prima carte s-a dovedit a fi o  delicatesa &#8211; o drama politica ce depaseste <em>Warbreaker</em>-ul lui  Sanderson, dar fara magia acestuia, nefiind pic de fantasy cu exceptia  plasarii intr-un taram uitat de timp. Minusurile pe realitate s-au  compensat (si inca cum) insa cu personajele fantastice si  world-building-ul de nota zece &#8211; fie ca era vorba de o poveste de-a lui  Old Nan sau de aventurile lui Jon (<em>oricare</em>).</p>
<p>Cartea doi, <a href="http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/9780006479895/A-Clash-of-Kings">A Clash of Kings</a>,  1009/1440pg, am parcurs-o intr-o singura zi (depasind  recordul precedent &#8211; <a href="http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/9780340951446/The-Stand">The Stand</a> &#8211; 1344pg de MMP in trei zile) &#8211; intr-o sambata ce-a inceput devreme &#8211; si-a curs  fluent, aproape la fel de bine ca prima parte, desi abuzand de moare/n-a  murit/m-am razgandit din nou. E more-of-the-same, deci incanta.</p>
<p>Cartea trei, <a href="http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/9780553573428/A-Storm-of-Swords">A Storm of Swords</a>,  1216/1784pg, m-a enervat la culme &#8211; cronologia e data naibii, unele capitole au loc aproape in acelasi timp cu unele evenimente din prima  carte, desi intre timp au murit duzine de personaje, s-au pierdut  castele si s-au sfaramat aliante, facand pentru o lectura chinuitoare  deoarece intreg timpul tipi la personaje sa nu faca ceva pentru ca nu  mai are rost. De asemenea <em>inca </em>astept sa devina fantasy si nu doar un concurs de masurare a sabiilor.</p>
<p>Ultima, <a href="http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/9780006486121/A-Feast-for-Crows-Song-of-Ice-and-Fire-Bk.-4">A Feast For Crows</a>, 974/1352pg, nici macar nu am inceput-o. Din egala proportie lipsa de timp si lipsa de chef.</p>
<p>Se tot lungeste povestea de dragul de-a se lungi, nu pentru ca asta o cere intriga. Pe la jumatatea ASOS deja-l injuram pe R. R. ca introduce o duzina de personaje si probleme noi in timp ce o buna parte din poveste a ramas acolo unde erau la sfarsitul ACOK. Robb? Jaime? Stannis? Pierduti in vant. Majoritatea intrigilor se invarteau in cercuri si ceea ce m-a facut sa ma indragostesc de serie a disparut cu desavarsire &#8211; <em>Winterfell</em> si tot ce tinea de el &#8211; acum avem parte doar de mercenari care-si schimba taberele saptamanal si orgolii fara limita datorita carora nimeni nu face nimic cum trebuie,<em> in special</em> atunci cand le-ar fi in avantaj. Argh, nervi peste nervi. Chiar de-as mai fi avut timp pentru AFFC nu cred c-as fi citit-o, 3089/4440pg in patru zile m-au obosit enorm, nu mi-a picat deloc bine cum venea capitol dupa capitol de umplutura, fara sa aud ceva de personajele care-mi placeau &#8211; sau mai rau, status quo pentru S. timp de mii de pagini sau pentru A. care tot da din rau in si-mai-rau, fara sa se intample nimic. De ea cred ca o sa ma apuc doar alaturi de ultimele carti din serie, daca vor iesi vreodata toate.</p>
<p>Despre scris &#8211; imi place stilul lui Martin, dar e al naibii de locvace &#8211; trei pagini de descrieri si doar patru randuri de dialog, trebuie sa ai ambitie la el. Parcelarea povestii si dezvoltarea personajelor au fost ok, desi un pic prea lent pentru gustul meu, dar marea problema a lui George o reprezinta femeile. Le scrie fenomenal de prost &#8211; proaste, naive, obediente sau o combinatie din acestea. M-a deranjat enorm faptul ca nu aveam niciun personaj feminin care sa-mi placa &#8211; nu mentionati Dany ca m-a plictisit teribil.</p>
<p>Cateva  cuvinte despre editii &#8211; intr-un mod curios, persoana de la care le-am  imprumutat le-a luat in <a href="http://schizoid.us/wp-content/stuff/2010/07/014.jpg">trei editii paperback</a> &#8211; prima editie Bantam &#8211;  AGOF si ACOK, a doua editie Bantam &#8211; ASOS &#8211; si a doua editie Harper &#8211;  AFFC. Cea mai frumoasa e de departe Harper &#8211; coperta superba, culori  superioare, hartie de calitate mai buna, font mai placut ochiului si de marime mai mare. Cartile de la Harper sunt cu €0.7-1€ mai scumpe decat cele Bantam, dar fac toate diferenta. Din pacate, A Storm of Swords e impartita in doua volume la ei, asa ca s-ar prefera Bantam decat sa platesti dublu. Toata seria in original te ajunge €27.48 de pe BD, adica 120ron. Cu duzine de erori ortografice si o traducere cu deficiente de la Nemira te ajunge <a href="http://www.nemira.ro/idei-de-cadouri/cadou-george-r-r-martin--1655">200ron, intr-o recenta oferta</a>, scazand de la pretul initial de 320ron.</p>
<p>Fundalul: la inceput am avut Eva Cassidy si The Frames, dar nu prea a mers, am mai hoinarit un pic prin diverse, dupa care mi-am gasit in sfarsit ritmul pe Dream Theatre care a mers ca unsa, urmata cu acelasi succes de Epica si The Gathering.</p>

You  think, at last, someone to talk to!</p>
<p>Well, not exactly. When about 15 sad sacks responded to the flyers,  which had been distributed around the State University of New York at  Stony Brook and Rutgers University, they discovered they were actually  being invited to take part in a psychological study: researchers wanted  to gauge the kind of pain felt by people on the business end of a  breakup.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0851851/">Terminator: The Sarah  Connor Chronicles</a> reprezinta continuarea francizei create de Jim  Cameron, reluand aventurile celor doi Connori dupa actiunile din T2, in  continuare incercand sa previna Ziua Judecatii. L-am evitat inca de cand  a fost anuntata productia la el pentru doua motive: primul, evident,  este canonul, faptul ca iubeam primele doua parti si nu vroiam sa las  putina istorie revizionista sa schimbe asta&#8230; dar intre timp au aparut  alte doua <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">mizerii</span> filme pe care le-am vizionat <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">obligat</span>,  asa ca nu avea rost sa-l mai aman, acum ca raul a avut loc. Al doilea  motiv, aproape la fel de important, e faptul ca e un serial de nisa  (niche, nu sunt sigur ca DEX a ajuns si la termenul asta), asa ca,  precum <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303461/">Firefly</a> </em>si  <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0805663/"><em>Jericho</em></a> si  cealalta duzina de seriale geniale anulate prea devreme, mi-ar fi frant  inima cand ar fi fost eliminat din grila, asa ca am preferat sa-l am  postmortem.<span id="more-4370"></span></p>

<blockquote><p>Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles • Creat de  Josh Friedman •  Distributia: Lena Headey, Thomas Dekker, Summer Glau, Brian Austin  Green, Garret Dillahunt, Shirley Manson, Leven Rambinand,  Richard T.  Jones • O productie Bartleby Co., Fox Television, Sony Pictures  Television, C2 Pictures • Ianuarie 2008 – Aprilie 2009.</p></blockquote>
<p>Scenariile tind sa fie bune, marea majoritate, combinand in proportii satisfacatoare drama personala, temele sci-fi, cat si ramificatiile unui razboi viitor – vina si alienarea celor ramasi. Se pune totusi problema repetivitatii: primul sezon a fost al naibii de plictisitor pentru ca s-a mentinut o structura liniara, deci extrem de previzibila, surprizele lipsind cu desarvarsire. In sezonul doi insa, se renunta la run&#8217;n'gun si se diversifica, deseori dedicand episoade unui singur personaj pentru a-i ajuta dezvoltarea. Problema cu acestea este ca, oricat de distractive ar fi, sunt de umplutura si nu avanseaza aproape deloc cursul misiunii, un al doilea motiv pentru existenta acestora fiind si faptul ca e un serial asadar constrangerile financiare devin dureros de evidente uneori &#8211; nu pentru lipsa efectelor, ci pentru lipsa spatiului, o duzina de episoade fiind inchise intr-o singura locatie.</p>
<p>Cat despre personaje cred ca faptul ca singurul care-mi place este robotul spune totul despre reusitele scriitorilor, nu? Acest <em>ragtag bunch of misfits</em> include un adolescent emotional care-si uraste destinul si e indragostit de robot, o mama care incearca sa-si protejeze fiul dar nu e in stare sa ia o decizie grea nici la costul propriei vieti, un soldat cu PTSD si-un investigator federal cu o moralitate compromisa. Ce nu e de iubit? Pai, indeajuns. Sarah si John au aceeasi defect tragic &#8211; compasiunea, care-i apuca in cele mai proaste momente, cu cele mai proaste rezultate, in ciuda faptului ca sunt atentionati sa faca ce e bine pentru restul omenirii. Ceilalti doi reprezinta o dilema pentru ca niciodata nu stii unde le stau loialitatile, iar asta nu e ceea ce cauti la un camarad de razboi. Robotul pare sa fie singurul care gandeste si nu-i pune in pericol fizic in fiece zi, iar personalitatea ei de <em>fish out of water </em>este, ca intotdeauna, remarcabil de amuzanta.<em> </em></p>
<p>Distributia: spre surpriza mea, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0372176/">Lena Headey</a> e o buna schimbare pentru <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000157/">Linda Hamilton</a>, are aproape aceeasi intensitate, chiar daca absolut nicio asemanare din punct de vedere fizic, iar personajul isi mentine fatalismul, desi devine prea pacifista pentru gustul meu. Marea vedeta a serialului, in opinia mea cel putin, este <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">River</span> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1132359/">Summer Glau</a> care are un joc formidabil, carand greul serialului, si e in continuare adorabila, preluand cu brio stafeta de la <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000216/">Arnie</a>. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0215281/">Pustiul</a> care-l joaca pe Connor e un chin insa, abilitatile sale artistice tind spre zero, iar materialul primit nu-l ajuta, in cea mai buna parte a timpului fiind doar un emo care se lamenteaza prea mult. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004977/">Brian Austin Green</a> habar nu am ce cauta intr-un asemenea serial, dar pare sa se descurce bine (vanzad asta si faptul ca e casatorit cu <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1083271/">Megan Fox</a>, copilul tembel din 90210 pare sa se fi realizat). Roluri secundare pentru <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0429114/">Richard T. Jones</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0226813/">Garret Dillahunt</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1276549/">Shirley Manson</a> si <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0935921/">Dean Winters</a>, toti descurcandu-se onorabil, in mod special absolventul din <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348914/">Deadwood</a></em> care face un <em>Dalek</em> foarte convingator.</p>
<p>Finalul, pentru o surpriza neplacuta, este grabit, ciudat si de-a dreptul prost. Intreg sezonul a fost suprasaturat cu episoade de umplutura, iar in ultimele doua episoade se ingramadesc mai multe revelatii si intorsaturi de situatie decat in celelalte 20. Nu asta este televiziunea buna. Motiful sfarsitului, in schimb, este imbecil, se bate cap in cap cu intreg universul &#8211; toate filmele <em>si</em> toate episoadele. Ma dezgusta faptul ca au sacrificat intreg canonul pentru putina filosofie &#8211; bine, un citat de la Joss Whedon, dar ideea ramane. Ar mai fi de discutat despre momentul verificarii radiatiei&#8230; dar cum prefer sa nu discut cu un terapeut saptamanal tot restul vietii, o sa las asta deoparte.</p>
<p>Concluzia mea este ca serialul este foarte bun&#8230;daca poti ierta constanta imbecilitate a personajelor care uneori, ca si in episodul cu halucinatiile, te poate aduce in pragul furiei cu umanitatea sa.</p>
