My New Favorite Show

True Blood.

I didn't like Anna Paquin at the first look, but after reading all the Sookie Stackhouse books, I think she's jut fine.

I love everything in this show.. everything. It's a shame there's only material for one season or one and a half.

I love the music that plays in the background when Bill is glamouring someone.

I love the look in Bill's eyes when he's angry..

I love it that they don't speak that clinical, forced pretty English.

Thanks HBO.

Ok, The Summer Is Officially Gone

Some of the most beautiful moments from the summer already gone.. A stream of fresh water, the Devil's Gate and Spidey at J's home town..

Saturday

Bring Hubble Down When It's Old

Dear NASA,

When Hubble's work will finish, please bring it down. Put it to a museum for display. It would be more than cruel to let it burn or what's worse: leave it up there.

I Don't Need Piracy Info or Forced Commercials

These days when you buy a DVD, you get all sorts of little "extras" on the DVD (or blu-ray) .. You might spend €25 to buy a one-disc movie or more if a bonus DVD is included... Right after you've read the disclaimer, you get a stupid "buying pirated dvd:s is stealing, stealing is against the law" -ad which you cannot skip or fast forward. If you don't get this one, you've forced to watch upcoming releases (like in the 30 Days of Night DVD WHICH I LEGALLY BOUGHT!) that you cannot skip either. I buy movies on DVD, I go to see them in the movies, I rent movies, so WHY AM I FORCED to watch piracy ads on a dvd? Why am I forced to watch upcoming release adverts when I already paid for that DVD? It would be different if the DVD was free and ad-funded, but when I pay for something I don't expect to pay to see adverts!

Do the releasers actually believe that pirates (copier or rippers) would rip that into their productions?! Ha! The only one who suffers here is the one who paid money to buy that. The ones who share their ripped stuff, they remove both annoyances. That is definitely not something that would encourage people to buy their DVD's rather than download them FREE from the P2P -networks..

Good Luck, Earth

Today the first protons were injected into the 27-kilometre tunnel way below the Earth's surface. Large Hadron Collider started it's work today (if they already didn't in August)..

Will the rumors eventually become the truth? In the worst case scenario, we'll all live for at least ten years. After that, every year is a bonus. You'll have plenty of time to raise a kid, so let's do it today (only low birthrate countries please)! We'll destroy the planet sooner or later anyway so why not in the name of science rather than Russia bombing us to protons anyway?

They should make a movie, with Morgan Freeman doing the credit voiceover: "September 10th, 2008, The Collider was started and slowly and surely the end of days of life on Earth became nearer." The movie should -of course- be called "Armageddon 2" or "The Collider". And If I could choose, I'd name Gillian Anderson as the main scientist, Sigourney Weaver and Harold Ramis as the warning scientists, Tony Shalhoub as the hero dad, Gary Oldman as the other hero dad (and they'd fight over Tony's daughter and Gary's son dating), Megan Fox as the Daughter, Charlie Cox as the son.. The movie would basically be about the love story of a couple in their late teens and the last minutes before the end would start. There would be gunfights, BOINC network calculating how to stop it, scientist fighting, world peace. No riots because everyone would be too afraid, changing weather. Basically, you could put every destroy-the-earth-you-stupid-humans -movie plot in one. Imagine the amount of CGI! Imagine the scientists all over the world stating against the movie.. and the freaky cults... And everyone would go see it! Genious, am I?
