salineaIt's been 3 years and 6 days since I'm on LiveJournal, yay.
I doesn't feel so long. It doesn't feel so short either.
My Paid account has also terminated recently, and I'm feeling too lazy to renew it, even if I think I'll do it eventually. Not lack of money (LJ is cheap and I just got a raise), but because I don't really like most of what they did recently so I'm not sure if I want to support them with money (since they're going to ignore me and my wishes anyway)... then again, going out of LJ doesn't seem workable. Alternatives may exist, but all the people are there, and that's who matter. Damn you, social network services! A big trap it is ^_^
Friday I went to see El Labirinto del Fauno, which was a very good movie. It's set after the end of the Spanish civil war, but with socialist insurgists still hanging on trying to survive. There are two parellel storylines : a fairy-tale like tale where Ofelia must pass tests to prove her faery inheritence (and go back to her father's kindgom), and a realistic around the fight between the Franquist army outpost led by Ofelia's step-father and the Rojos who attempt to escape them. Both stories interract in a wonderful manner, and both are equally grim and dark (some scenes are extremely violent and shocking, and I had to hide my eyes because I'm a wimp ^^).
I really enjoyed the movie, though I found sometimes the Direction was a little bit heavy handed where it should have been more alusive.
