I was pretty certain February will end without any new happenings on this part of ze intarwebz but I just have to post this.

You see, I've been re-watching a lot of movies because I'm bored (as always). Yesterday's flicks were The Dark Knight and Batman Begins, among others. In the latter, I was surprised to see a familiar face:

 

Batman Begins was in 2005. That little boy with the cute accent is now this annoying brat I so want to punch in the face and kick in the... yeah.

It just amuses me to see actors (from when they were younger or starting out in the biz) in movies I've previously watched but haven't taken notice of until I saw them in "bigger" roles and remember them, or recognize them when I watch the movie again.

And yes, that is all.

Whatcha watchin'?

I've been watching a lot of (great!) movies and anime/tv series lately (lately being at least more than a year). I just thought I might share them here:


Chuck
My all-time favorite series which is still on air but, sadly, on its last season. I would watch as many episodes as I can daily, forcing my eyes open until I can't take it anymore haha. Oh how I would miss this when it's finally gone.

One Piece
Whole-day marathons as well. Now one of my two most favorite animes! Still on air, already on its 528th episode this week. I used to read the manga while waiting for the next episode to be available for download, but now I'm too lazy to do that.

Studio Ghibli films
I've been seeing a lot of Totoro stuff on Tumblr, and I finally downloaded the movie. I loved it and discovered other Studio Ghibli creations. Naturally, I downloaded 'em as well. This was around the middle of this year. I have now watched ten SG movies! (Note to self: download more) Their stories are unique and very entertaining, characters are so easy to like. Most of the leads are female, which is also nice. I AM IN LOVE.

Walking Dead
A series which only had six episodes on their first season. BUT, those episodes are very satisfying. I can't wait for more zombiessss, or walkers, as they call it in the show. I'm not sure if season 2 is already up haha

Rurouni Kenshin
I first watched the series on Studio 23 back in high school. THIS IS MY FAVORITE ANIME, EVER. (Well, OP and Ruroken kind of share the spot now.) I don't know why, I just do. Also this year, I read the manga version, and boy, I sure am glad I did. I thought the series seem a bit too short, and it is. Only ninety-five episodes, while the manga has 200+ chapters. I would read 'til sunrise daily. Seriously. I am now downloading episodes 11-20.

Makoto Shinkai movies
I'm not sure how many movies there are, but I currently have two. According to an ad I saw on Facebook, Shinkai is dubbed as the next Hayao Miyazaki (of Studio Ghibli!!!), so I downloaded the two, immediately. How were they? Well, the plot's nice. I just think the pace is a little bit too slow. I am also not a big fan of lengthy monologues, which basically comprises his movies. (Why do the Japanese like too many lengthy monologues??) I was expecting films similar to those of SG, so I was a bit disappointed. I'm still on the lookout for good stuff from Shinkai, though.


There you go. :) What have you been watching this year?



P.S. Thanks to B for not listening to me when I told her not to watch Chuck, for making me love One Piece (which I didn't like when I watched it on TV), and for introducing me to Walking Dead. :)
