I watched it a few days ago and promised myself I’ll write down my thoughts before this forgettable creation disappears from memory. On the plus side, I identified a Romanian actress in it.

Though the premise is not original (Weird Science 1985, s1m0ne 2002, Pixel Perfect 2004, or Pygmalion, Pinocchio and Frankenstein) and this is a Hollywood, almost Disney movie to its core, the treatment is not that bad - it's actually quite refreshing. Here’s the trailer.

@JihadAbdo is an L.A.-based actor with more than 43 films, tons of TV series and lots of plays in four languages. One of those languages is Romanian.

Duolingo (invite) sent me a new report placing me in top 1% users, which is a great opportunity to once again look at Romanian radio drama or theatre or teatru radiofonic. Traducere in romana in curand pe pagina de fatacarte Zamolxis.

Am vazut recent, la TIFF '09, doua filme cu politisti - Police, Adj. al lui Porumboiu si unul rusesc. Si gandul mi-a fugit la doua articole recent citite, unul in Catavencu, celalalt in Alphablog. (WARNING: Cele 4-5 clipuri / liste video pot incetini computerul daca n-ai suficienta memorie / processing power!)

Am aflat recent despre un test care ar deduce daca esti barbat sau femeie pe baza preferintelor tale. Asta-i genul de test care-i oripileaza pe unii (sau unele). Eu sunt insa curios sa identific diferentele. Totusi, nu vei gasi aici un test similar celui cu dreapta vs stanga.

Cum ziceam in 10 intamplari, Vineri am fost la vizionarea unei selectii de filme romanesti facute de studenti UNATC ca proiecte de graduare. Multe au fost premiate la diverse festivaluri, si dupa vizionare am avut un Q&A cu profesori de film de la York University.

Cateodata imi vine sa ma fac futograf. De pilda, atunci cand asist la o sesiune de fotografie in nudul gol. Ce urmeaza este undeva la granita – in zona artei, zic eu. Dar acei care considera plaja un loc de pierzanie se vor simti ofensati, so reader discretion is strongly advised.

Aflam dintr-un articol in earthtimes ca Romania a dat Italiei un Algerian, Kamel Abbachi, 36, suspectat ca ar fi parte dintr-o celula terorista.

Abbachi together with several nationals from Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco allegedly operated a cell aimed at recruiting militants to carry out terrorist attacks, helping them to obtain false documents to enter Europe, ANSA said.

Am aruncat iar un ochi pe statisticile articolului despre agregatori. Rezultatele pe termen lung confirma intr-un mod oarecum surprinzator recomandarea mea initiala.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen this year and, as the poster suggests, it is quite “pulpy”.

Desi oficial oamenii care isi cumpara satelit o fac pentru FTA, in realitate investitia si timpul consumat nu prea au sens pentru cateva programe gratis. Motivul real, nedeclarat, este asa-zisa piratare a programelor care fie sunt interzise / inaccesibile pe teritoriul canadian, fie pot fi obtinute numai prin Bell / Starchoice dar costa bani. Iata o scurta analiza a cadrului legal din Canada in care se desfasoara aceasta activitate cu citate din wikipedia si din forumurile romanesti.

Incepusem sa scriu acum cateva luni despre Michael Bryant, Zeul Justitiei Ontariene, care a omorat un biciclist cu decapotabilul sau Saab de lux. Negru. O vizita recenta la wikipedia mi-a spus ce se-ntampla.

I am beginning to see the limits of my enforced-positivity in terms of absorbing and interpreting the current political events. Yet the political situation in Romania is remarkably similar to what’s happening in USA.

I found via bucurenci.ro Cosmin Alexandru's article. I jotted down a few quick thoughts.

In restul lumii, 1 Iunie inseamna ziua copilului. Aici in Toronto, anul acesta 1 Iunie marcheaza niste evenimente mai importante decat in alti ani, cum ar fi noi reguli pentru trecerea frontierei in USA si deschidera adoptiilor.

The stuff I haven't told you yet about Anaughtia (see previous and still unfinished, at this time, article) is on my mind, fighting its way into a sequel. But it will be a while. There are other stories for other blogs that also searching for a way out of my head. Until then, a somewhat easier subject, on Sweden.

In a recent (semi-)transatlantic flight, while reading the airline magazine, I stumbled upon a bit on courage and machismo, which contrasted sharply with Andre Gide’s preface to an Antoine de Saint-Exupery (you know, the guy who wrote Le Petit Prince) book I was also (re)-reading. Let me present it for you.

Lumea arde si eu mi-am pus sablon nou. Au aparut o gramada de probleme dar, din pacate, nu am timp sa le rezolv. Asa ca merg inainte, urmand sa corectez problemele in cateva zile, cand voi avea mai mult timp. Pan-atunci, sa ne-atintim privirea-n lume.

Recent, zoso publica un videoclip al Antenelor cu ieseni calcandu-se in picioare pentru produse de bricolaj la oferta. Eu revad un clip despre care am scris acum cativa ani. Cel vechi e cu saraci la Walmart.
