    I thought brown sugar was healthier due to less refining (I remember reading that bleaching sugar requires some nasty chemical(s)), but the sugar just gets molasses added instead

    See, I don't mind the magazine at all, but I would have felt a lot better if it had come with an acceptance letter (or not at all, if I hadn't been accepted).


    EDIT: Also, I got tired of Bakemonogatari not working out for streaming, so I torrented it. Amazingly, it finished before I returned from swimming. :D

    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    Did it a few weeks ago :P

  • One foot in front of the other, every day.

    Good.


    What an excellent movie. 

  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    Indeed. I was expecting the held-camera thing to be a way of not showing much of a badly-done special effect, but...nope, really well-done effects with the camera steady on them.


    And that's not even the best thing about it :o

  • One foot in front of the other, every day.

    I love its reverence towards folklore and fairy tales while engaging in a bit of affectionate mockery, too. And In The Hall Of The Mountain King was a lovely touch during the credits. 

  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    I loved the bit where the question of Muslims gets brought up, and they basically all just go "eh, whatever."

  • One foot in front of the other, every day.

    And then the movie refuses to answer the question! :D


    I'm not sure how much further I can go without spoilering spoilers. Oh wait.


    The movie made a great call by bringing back the bite. And at first I thought the whole "Christian blood" thing was a gag throwback to folklore, but it was actually played for drama and worked great.

  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    Yeah, the movie as a whole more-or-less restored my faith in the found footage concept.

  • One foot in front of the other, every day.

    Likewise. After the disappointment that was Cloverfield, I was in this for Norskfaggotry and foklore. While I certainly expected this to at least be entertaining, I ended up being blown away by the skill with which this film was put together. 

  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    I know. Everything about it was just...wow.


    Especially the bit with the out-of-context Prime Minister interview.

    MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!

    I fucking loved Trollhunter. I like how the shaky cam wasn't used as an excuse to hide lousy effects and choreography.


    I should rewatch it at some point soon.


    Also I keep looking in the magic thread and it must have been a more strenuous day than I though because I'm just not in the mood to parse through everyone's words and make counterarguments.


    I must be ill or something.

  • One foot in front of the other, every day.

    Also, when Hans gets fucking right-hooked by the troll, I lost my shit. Christ that was out of nowhere. 

  • Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    Trollhunter was great.

    I really don't have a problem with the style, but so far only it and Chronicle are the only found footage movies I've really liked. I think. I'm probably forgetting something.

    Cloverfield wasn't great, but I didn't find it as bad as most people make it out to be.
  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    I need to see Chronicle. I hear it's good.

  • MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!

    Cloverfield was pretty technically borked, not even talking about storytelling.


    District 9 was okay but the fact that the action scenes dropped the documentary aspect is pretty telling.

  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    Oh, yeah, I forgot District 9 was even supposed to be found-footage >.>

    ^^^ I was really surprised. I thought it wouldn't be very good, but I heard good things about it, and actually really enjoyed it.

    Also, the first time I saw a preview for it on TV, I was tired and not really paying attention, and my first thought was "That Akira movie is already finished?"

    I dunno that I'd call District 9 a found footage movie, considering only like the first twenty minutes and the end are documentary. It's just shaky cam.
  • You can change. You can.
    So, now that i'm 18, my mom wants me to go to the USA, get a job and hopefully get my studies going there.

    Welp
  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    Funny, I've been wondering how much longer I'm going to be stuck in the USA lately :P

    No offense meant to Juan or Colombians, but I doubt your plan is to move to Colombia, INUH.

    Fair enough, though I doubt he's heading to Alabama.

  • You can change. You can.
    Honestly, thinking about it, i'd prefer to go to london or mainland europe rather than the US
    But i really wanna get out of here, so anything is good for enough for me

    Seriously, pick mainland Europe. I hear the Swiss are especially tasty this time of year.
