Various media things
Nov. 17th, 2013 10:40 pmMovie: We received Men in Black 3 off our Netflix queue some weeks ago and tonight finally got around to watching it. Although I enjoyed the first movie, I never did watch the second, so I felt a little lost at first, but overall I enjoyed it. Josh Brolin's impression of Tommy Lee Jones was probably the highlight -- it was almost eerie, how well he pulled it off. Also the movie managed to surprise me several times, which is always a bonus in a genre series like this.
Television: Still working on Scandal, partway into Season 2. I still like it, but one of the central romantic relationships really sets my teeth on edge. ( Spoilers through S2 Ep7 )
Book: Still working, slowly, on Cold Steel, the third book in Kate Elliott's Spiritwalker Trilogy. Not because it isn't compelling reading -- far from it! -- but just because I have too many other things going on. Anyone looking for interesting world building, and in particular a very different take on 19th century Europe and the Caribbean, should pick up this series. I've never read any Kate Elliott before, but I think I need to look for more.
Game: Finally finished FFIX on Thursday! I gave up on finishing the sidequests/mini-games and just went for the end, which is somehow both odd and satisfying. I really love this game. Remake with modern graphics and voice acting? Pretty please?
