sasha_featherI highly recommend seeing the film "The Artist". It's a silent film about the silent film era, and it's beautiful. The story is good, the acting is great, the characters felt like real people with real lives, and the experience of seeing a modern silent film done with such skill-- this is probably a once-in-a-lifetime event for me. I have one warning: skip)
Themes of suicide and depression, a foiled suicide attempt.
I also watched Sherlock 2x01 tonight and I *loved* it. :D :D :D is my reaction. ETA, I was much more pleased with this than I was with the movie, in general.
The film "Sleep Dealer" (2008) is a really excellent SF movie about water shortages, immigrant labor, and connecting one's mind to a network, all the while being a really human story about people trying to connect and make lives for themselves in a near-future Mexico. It's in Spanish (with English subtitles), rated PG-13, no standard warnings. I even enjoyed the "making of" featurette which is very rare for me.
I haven't been reading a whole lot of Yuletide stories, but I did enjoy all 4 of the Octopus ones.
