別可憐我 反正我從來不會痛
I still hate Joss Whedon.
I thought Prometheus was pretty hilariously bad, like, bad to the point of loud laughter in the theater at multiple points, but this appears to be a minority opinion. I might have actually liked it anyway, there's tons of terrible campy scifi movies in my favorites lists, but it's so pompous it's hard to actually enjoy on, well, any level, except I guess visually. The effects are pretty good. But, seriously, this is a film in which characters with any sense of self-preservation whatsoever are basically painted by the narrative as freaks. I could argue for calling nearly every onscreen death a suicide.
Speaking of stupid science fiction, I have high hopes for the Total Recall reboot.
The romance subplot on Legend of Korra sucks a lot and it's actually killing my interest in the show. I'm starting to hate it whenever Mako does anything, because it's always gonna be a romance related thing and ick. And Asami's fabulous and deserves better than this jealousy bullshit okay.

thor watched 華麗的挑戰 (Skip Beat!) just to watch Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae's glorious faces for fifteen episodes, and mission accomplished, we finished it this afternoon. Now I'm not sure what drama to start next, either 痞子英雄 (Black and White) or 籃球火 (Hot Shot). The first one is actually supposed to be good; the second one has Show Luo and Wu Chun. Hmm...
My Chinese is actually improving, I think, but go figure, I do hours of Chinese stuff every day, even if it's just watching dumb clips of 100% Entertainment on Youtube. I'm not sure I'll even be able to afford to take more Chinese courses at UHM next fall, but I do know my Chinese isn't nearly where it's gotta be. 加油, self, 加油.

By the way, have you seen any TW dramas lately that you might recommend? I admit I tried to watch Hot Shot because of Wu Chun way back in high school - I might try again since I am less averse to camp (not to mention for listening practice!)

I just started Black & White! I've only seen the first episode, but it's got really good reviews and recs and it seems pretty good so far. Not nearly as campy as your typical idol drama, either, as far as I can tell. So far the only thing that's bugged me is Ivy Chen is obnoxious, but I liked her in Skip Beat (which was really, really, really campy and over the top, for the record). So I'm hoping she'll get better.
I can't understand a damn word they're saying, though, which is bugging me. I don't know like any police talk words except for 警察, sigh. Hopefully it'll help with that!
