Movie Favorite

"I don’t always love Parajanov’s roaming camera in this movie, but he settled down from Color of Pomegranates onwards. Parajanov’s love for the folk culture is quite infectious. The way that he loves everything on screen, I relate. And the winter mummers are so mysterious. He makes this Hutsul culture come alive and it’s so exotic. Now I know a lot about Carpathian culture and Slavic folklore so the movie doesn’t have a lot of mystery to me anymore. But the first time I saw these images that I couldn’t understand, I was completely conquered because he so clearly understood them [and] they were infused with some kind of meaning that just felt essential to me."

Book Favorite

"I read this every winter. It has one of the best female protagonists I've ever read in a book. There are very few books I can think of that start out so small and unassuming and end so big and heroic. The lead character goes from being an inquisitive, quiet girl to a violent, powerful force by the end of the book, all while solving a murder that keeps unfolding new twists and turns. This book makes me feel strong. Like I could fight a bad guy on a burning barge then jump into to arctic freezing water to swim to my safety as it explodes. Which she does, in the book."

Sharon carter being power broker totally out of character (0 more)

Great character growth for side movie characters

Contains spoilers, click to show

I love the series of sam being captain america of what it takes for the legend also to be a influence in these modern times. Doing the show and touching political topics without being heavy awesome. The character john walker was excellent and showing what can happen living up to a legend. The incident with the bloody shield was kinda just tossed away coulda done more. Also sharon carter being power broker because she didn't get a pardon, yes she could have. Didn't like it. Awesome series
