Okay, so I am a sucker for comic books adapted to film, but this is where I draw the line.
I don’t think there was one thing, really, which appealed to me in this movie, with the possible exceptions of the guy who played the Kingpin and the ending — i.e. how Daredevil decided to deal [...]
Posts filed in Loki
Loki is a witty and intelligent acquaintance of mine, who keeps his own blog, which I read frequently. A megalomaniac and an arrogant fellow, he is my intellectual superior, in each and every way. He’s also quite a nice chap.
Not to mention that he’s the guy who helped me see the Light — aka. everything Whedon.

2007-03-12 — Quote of the Day
“For thousands of years our ancestors have refined the noble art of procrastination. Today, with new IT-technology, we find even more ways of postponement. From hacking governmental databases to simply playing solitaire, we guarantee the procrastinator a multi-faceted experience and improvement of his procrastinating-repertoire.
Come join the future - in just five more minutes.”

Creepy! — AS5×4 Hell Bound
Wow. This was awesome. It had all the stuff I love, and also some of the stuff I’m not really that keen on, but can appreciate if it’s not too much of it.
First of all, this was an impressively tightly executed episode. None of the scenes felt redundant, none of them were ones I wished [...]
Oh, and…
… the “Firefly” DVD I had to order because of Loki (okay, so here’s my contribution for the “Worst Excuse of 2007 Award” ) arrived yesterday!
Which means that as soon as I’ve force-fed my sister the last couple of episodes of VM (this show really stands to be watched a second time, I’ve [...]
Terje loves Veronica
Yesterday afternoon, I suddenly felt the urge to watch some kind of TV show while eating dinner. I considered both “Carnivale”, “BSG” and “Angel”, but discarded them all. The two former (and especially BSG) are have too much background noise for me to pay proper attention to the dialogue while eating, and the latter… well, [...]
“Have you ever quoted Shakespeare with your beloved in a dark theatre hallway?” — AS3×13 Waiting In The Wings
I gotta admit I was somewhat flabbergasted when Loki listed this episode as one of his 25 favourites, because I just remembered it as a mediocre episode with a lot of dull ballet. Man, was I wrong…
This one’s awesome from beginning to end. All the way from the first scene, where Wes confides to Cordy [...]
It’s kinda obvious that it’s made by the same people who made “West Wing”…
… because seriously, even if Josh hadn’t been there, I’d recognise the way they walk while talking very fast at each other.
Awesome first episode, though. I think I’m gonna watch another one; it’s not often that I’m hooked from the first scene…
What? What I’m talking about? Why, “Studio 60“, of course.
(Godawful title, though. Even worse [...]
Ha ha!
If you google for yayz0r, you get a hit on Loki’s Sensible Nonsense already at the first page. And what awaits on the second page? You guessed correctly: Another Loki-hit.
Mwahaha! I am contaminating his non-blog with annoying brat-speech!
Oh, and I’m changing the name of the category “Yay!” into “yayz000000r” or something moronic like [...]
I feel all giddy inside — Ultimate X-Men “Tomorrow’s People” #1-6
Wow, that was one hell of an introduction. Quite a bit different from what I expected, but seeing as my expectations were largely built upon the goodnes that are the X-Men films, that was to be expected. The relationships between the characters were somewhat different, although not altogether dissimilar, as were some backgrounds and such. [...]
Giddyness
I’m all giddy with expectations. Today, I bought volume 6 of the hardcover collection of Ultimate X-Men, and the guy in the shop said that the other books I ordered (vols. 1-3) would arrive tomorrow (technically today). Additionally, vols. 4-5 should be on their way from amazon.
And I’m really looking forward to reading these things. [...]
Kate Returns — AS1×2 Lonely Hearts
I don’t really know why, but I’ve always been fond of the Kate character. Sure, she’s not very witty, nor particularly awesome, nice or cool. But she’s utterly ordinary. Not a Slayer, not a Vampire, not a watcher, not a witch, werewolf, evil lawyer, half-demon, Cordelia, genious — she’s just an ordinary woman who’s been [...]
I feel like I could watch this episode for the rest of my life — BS7×22 Chosen
“Yeah, Buffy, what are we gonna do now?” Dawn asks. The camera zzoms in on Buffy’s face as a grin erupts, and the sun lights it up . The screen goes black, Joss Whedon and Marti Noxon’s names shows up, and I close the window. I lower the volume, I start up my Winamp playlist, [...]
Loki!

The subway comes back to bite you on the ass — BS7×14 First Date
Back in season 2 or three (I think), there was a rather Spike centred episode, in which we learned where Spike got his leather coat from: A black Slayer he met on a NYC subway in the 70s. And in this episode, Principal Wood’s identity is revealed, and it turns out he’s the son of [...]
Cliffhanger of the millenium… BS7×08, “Sleeper”
Finally, the plot arc has taken precedence over the monster-of-the-week dominated episodes. And man, what a hold of me that change gave the season!
This episode was in many ways a continuation of episode 7, the review of which I don’t bother to link to, seeing as it’s posted two inches below this post. Very Spike [...]
BS7×07 - “Conversations with dead people”
This may very well be the hook.
Every bloody part of this episode was awesome; the Buffy part was both sad and also funny, at times; the Dawn part was one of the scariest and most creey sequences of scenes I’ve seen in a long time; the Willow part started out sad, but grew more and [...]
Even Steven
Just finished watching “The Martix Reloaded“, and I gotta say that it was way, way, way better than I remembered. It even made me re-evaluate my rating of “The Matrix”…
Like “The Matrix”, “The Matrix Reloaded” was visual perfection. The fight scenes were stunningly chireographed, the actors always looked like the kings of cool (especially when [...]
The Curse of the Evil Football Team Jacket — BS7×06
Whoa. As the previous post indicates, the episode preceding this one was one of the most stunning and emotionally breathtaking episodes ever. This one, on the other hand, was perhaps one of the cheesiest episodes I’ve seen in a long, long, long time.
Not that it was completely bereft of uncheesy scenes; one of the opening [...]
“There’s only me” — impressions of BS7×05
One of the best Buffy episodes ever. Character driven, excellent dialogue, a stunning plot, and heartbreaking character moments, two of which brought tears to my eyes.
(Here be spoilers! Or so I believe…)
..
I’m not really sure if I can say much more than this, as my words’ll only ring hollow in my ears. It’ll merely be [...]
Blogroll updated
Some links added, mainly links to my favourite forums at the moment: Fantasyforumet.net, Tolkiens.net, Tidshjulet.net, and Guardians’ Grove/Everestia Community.
I also added a link to Loki’s blogg, which I read daily. And if I link to it from here, I won’t have to go the long way via bookmarks/blogs to get there.
