I just finished watching The Terror — which I already commented earlier this month. It’s interesting but a little disappointing. The fantastical aspect of the Inuk mythology seemed at first the most promising element but was left largely unexploited. The slaying of the beast was the symbol of the white men killing the native spirits, … Continue reading More on “The Terror”
I’m watching The Terror (three episodes in so far): It’s cool, although the storytelling moves like a slow agony and the suspense is unbearable! Joke aside, it is a very interesting 10-part TV series from AMC, based on Dan Simmons’ novel of the same title. I was first hesitating to watch as it is presented … Continue reading The Terror
George Takei has captured hearts and minds worldwide with his captivating stage presence and outspoken commitment to equal rights. But long before he braved new frontiers in Star Trek, he woke up as a four-year-old boy to find his own birth country at war with his father’s—and their entire family forced from their home into … Continue reading They called us enemy
The Boys Now I’ve watched the entire first season. Impressive. It’s funny, dark and, if not entirely original (it reminds me of several other superheroes shows or movies), fresh enough to be interesting. However, not enough for me to increase my appreciation to four stars. So it remains at . Maybe it’s my imagination, but … Continue reading TV updates
En 1931, une expédition de sauvetage découvre le campement en ruines du Pr Lake, parti explorer l’Antarctique quelques mois plus tôt. Son équipe de scientifiques avait envoyé un message annonçant une découverte extraordinaire avant de sombrer dans le silence… Sur place, des squelettes humains dépouillés de leur chair laissent imaginer les scènes d’horreur qui ont … Continue reading Les Montagnes Hallucinées T. 1
I am catching up with updating my Bibliography and the blog indexes for Books and Movies/TV reviews for the May 2018 to January 2019 period (132 entries in 9 months). Sorry, I should have updated them more often (the previous update was in April !). It’s clear that I am commenting on more movies & … Continue reading Indexes Update January 2019
Since the last update, over two months ago, so much has happened. On the domestic front, it seems that I ran out of karma points because a series of unfortunate events kept happening to me, including frustratingly bad customer service experiences: I had trouble getting my bag of weekly flyers delivered, after eight long months … Continue reading Notable News (w23-w31)
I seems now, after nearly a week, I am finally done with the computer set ups. Of course, it wasn’t without pain and efforts. First, despite the promises of the “Genius” that served me at the Apple Store, the technician had installed the *previous* macOS (10.12) instead of the latest one (10.13.3). It speaks volume … Continue reading *Phew*
Warning! This blog was hit by a couple of catastrophes in 2017 that broke many image links and introduced malicious lines of code that have now been neutralized but are still disfiguring many older entries of the blog. Please bear with us while we are undergoing the long process of repairing the blog! The most … Continue reading Bibliography
Tuesday [July 5] we had torrential rain which caused the sewage to back up… in the basement and, document.write(“”); through the pipes, even on the first floor. In the basement, it was not that bad since the floor has a kind of a funnel shape and I had blocked all the drainage, limiting the damage … Continue reading Eventful Week [E]
