Think chapter 169 (End of Hypnosis) - but less shocking because this has happened before.

( thoughts )

Ever get that feeling that you can't do anything right? I am wallowing in it right now. I'm such a fucking mess.

Thing that is not a mess? Fuji-san on this fine Japanese morning. Three cheers for volcano adjacent webcams!

Bleach? Oh what the hell...I just...bah. That sums it up: bah. Though it does appear that KT is moving away from drawing the eyes-too-close-together Ichigo that he was sliding into/that the anime just freaking loves. The boy's not even the star of his own series anymore; the least they could do is to draw him on model.

There's not much in the way of interesting silent film on the horizon...at least for the next two months. The big exception is Miss Mend, a Soviet era adventure serial, that will come on in December. January, however, looks pretty fabulous as they will be showing Bardleys the Magnificent, The Merry Widow, and Torrent (Garbo's American debut). They have their February/31 Day's of Oscars lineup up (but sort of hidden) and it features A Woman of Affairs (Garbo/Gilbert), Our Dancing Daughters, and The Crowd. All of this is in the distance but it all seems infinitely more interesting than the repeats they are showing until the end of the year (ex: Tillie’s Punctured Romance twice in one month and the third time for this year! Also shown three times this year: The Patsy [which I love but damn!] and The King of Kings. And it appears that Ben-Hur is coming on this year within a week or so of when it came on last year.) We are all aware that there are a limited number of silent films available to be shown. We also know that there is more than this and the repeats are getting kind of ridiculous.

Summary: It's funny the things you notice when you're almost alone.

For 31_days. Theme Aug. 25 - memories are films about ghosts

ETA (11/21/09): This is a re-edit of the original piece. It is around 150 words longer and slightly more detailed. I think that it's a better piece.

Bleach 364 came out super early. As you may have heard, things actually happen in this one. What a change of pace!

( The Good )

( The Bad )

( The Ugly )

Some people are already begging KT's forgiveness after doubting him. I am not convinced that the epic fail has passed. But I can say that I will be reading the next chapter out of something other than twisted obligation.

I am very much mentally dazed and behind right now on just about everything...including Christmas stuff. It's somewhat embarrassing.

But on toward the fannish stuff:

( Last Pushing Daisies for the year )

As for Bleach: ( Bah )

The silent movie for tonight is Ben-Hur, but it comes on a bit too late for me. I'm hoping to tape it and catch up on it sometime this week (probably Thursday). In fact, the next few silents are just like that. One is a title I've never heard of (The Blot), two more are titles I know and want to see but come on in the wee hours of the morning (Speedy, Show People, and The Crowd), and the other starts at a decent-ish time but is four damn hours (La Roue). We'll have to see how it goes.

Also, the Murnau, Borzage and Fox looks absolutely fantastic but is totally out of my price range. At the very least, it would be nice to buy it as a way of saying "Thank you for caring about your heritage and for your willingness to share it with the rest of us...unlike certain studies we know **coughParamountcough**" But a girl could dream.

Ok, the chibi Bleach PSP game is at once the most frightening and hilarious thing I've seen in awhile. I just wish there was more to the website. I want chibi fighting videos!
