A Giant Holiday

I'm pretty sure I passed my exams a few days ago, so now I'm on holidays. I didn't have a massive celebration, but I did go out and watch "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" with a friend of mine as celebration. We weren't that close, but we hung out together and we had a good time, so I'm quite satisfied.

The movie! What an excellent movie. Soooo many action scenes, flashy yet it had the bones of a narrative- I was pelased. Jude Law is an amazing actor- I knew that but this movie proved it again. The action scenes weren't even the best part- it was the music. There hasn't been many films which made me want to listen to the soundtrack, but I highly recommend this one. Oh, I haven't even mentioned costume design yet- for a medieval film, they certainly used the most modernistic style they could get away with. It was high fashion with medieval flair- I wished I had that kind of talent for costume design. I wouldn't even make money from it, I'd just make clothes myself and wear it every day.

I loved this scene- his body language just screamed confidence

I later watched the final? installment of Pirates of the Carribean. It was a decent film, but I've forgotten most of the story from the previous movies. The film was rather humorous and had a good mix of action scenes as well. I didn't mind the CGI- I feel like we've come a long way, and CGI these days actually looks decent enough.

So yeah, that's what marked the beginning of my holidays. I'm currently addicted to a mobile game called "Onmyouji" where you play as Abe no Seimei and fight spirits/demons. I'm self-aware of how bad my addiction is, given I haven't left the house in 3 days, but I'm quite content to waste some time on this game because it just feels... really, really good. Maybe I'll move onto something more productive later- but really, it's been a loooong, looong while since I've had this much free time on my hands. I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
