In my idealist world of adaptations, movies like the abomination that was the Death Note live action would never exist. It was good as a movie for movie’s sake, but not good enough for my higher standards. Neither was it a case of source material fan bias — for what it’s worth, the only thing [...]
Just a bit of link blogging before I return to the normal schedule (wait, what schedule?). I’d like to think that four whole days away from the PC at camp did my hands good, but a prolonged bout of instant messaging proved otherwise. I can live with the pain, though, seeing how it serves as [...]
Numerous spoilers after the cut.
You knew this was coming. Come on. Come on. Only the weak chicken out after a few episodes of “boring” training.
