vale[ blog ] diary of the last hollow soul

Finally Kyon figured out how to get out of the loop of Endless Eight. Suzumiya again, as expected. This episode was a huge relief. I mean, if you watched almost the same thing seven times already, this one would be a great ending for that. I could feel the adrenalin rushing through my veins as the turning point got nearer and nearer (the point when Haruhi's about to leave the restaurant). And then, a hilarious solution. Once again the obvious message: share as much with your friends as you can. Too bad it's very difficult to find people who are ready to share almost everything. It seems to be difficult to realise that together even chores could get fun, while alone it'd count as a method of torture. I think that just two animation works, this Suzumiya series and the Yes man i mentioned in an earlier post express my view on life more than anything else i encountered so far.

Yesterday in Shibuya we watched the sixth Harry Potter movie, and i must say that it was great. I wanted to watch it in japanese, because that's very funny (i've seen the fifth in japanese and it was simply hilarious), but this one was the english original. I remembered most of the story, but i feel i'll have to read the last two books a few more times. So, the story was great, the acting was great and everything just passed together. Also, it brings back a lot of memories.
I read about the actors since then, and i'm always surprised by these details. I knew that Alan Rickman was Hans Gruber in the first Die Hard, one of my great childhood movies, but i didn't realise he was the wealthy and powerful lord from Perfume, and i really want to see both the Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy in english and the Sweeney Todd movie, since he's the voice actor of Marvin in the former and acts the villain judge in the latter. And he'll be the Caterpillar in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Same goes for the strangely familiar and scarily mad Bellatrix Lestrange from the movie, Helena Bonham Carter. She was the fantastic Marla Singer in the even more fantastic Fight Club, she was also in the Sweeney Todd movie and she'll be the Red Queen in the same Alice in Wonderland.
After reading even more character summaries, i really feel like i have to read the last two books again. And again.

To be exact, 劇場版NARUTO−ナルト−疾風伝絆 (Gekijōban Naruto Shippūden Kizuna), the 2008 Naruto movie i just watched a few days ago. It was good… With fun parts. But with the followings, i will go into spoilers, so if you haven't watched the movie yet, rather don't read on. (It's worth watching.) I had the Dattebayo subbed version.
