13:24 - August (2011) by Eldar Rapaport Just watched 'August' by Eldar Rapaport. It's a full version of a short feature called 'Postmortem'. I saw that short movie long time ago. Even made Russian subtitles for it. I was kinda taken away by the flick. After a while I found out that Rapaport was going to make a full version called 'August'. And finally it came out. 100 minutes of a very well shot, incredibly atmospheric and tense video material along with stunning music by Surque.
I don't know. This movie is really good. Stylishly made, well played. Moreover, it's very true and make you feel the tension in-between obvious things. And that Californian heat, that blazing sun... They don't add anything positive to the atmosphere at all. On contrary, you practically feel that it's hell itself.
All in all, a very nice movie which is definitely worth watching.

21:46 - The Love Patient (Trailer) + kind of a short review :) Yeah, it's been quite a long time since I did a movie review here. But here it is. Not long. Just a small sneak peak of what I enjoyed watching lately. Actually, I've watched a lot of good movies since the last post, but I didn't feel like sharing my thoughts until now.
And the thing is this silly simple comedy somehow got me. I mean it made the smile and turn this world into a better place. :)
It's rather usual, a bit overdone at some point, but still good. Sincere (as it only can be) and funny. Even cheerful. That is why I liked it. Don't expect anything serious (neither from actors nor from the script). It's plain simple. But I guess sometimes we all need something simple in our lives, don't we?
Anyways. I'm not going to beat around the bush. Just watch the trailer. But better yet watch the whole movie. And don't blame me for wasting one and a half hours of your precious time afterwards. I warned you, duh!

19:24 - It's Getting Better :) Just wanted to update you all, folks, on the changes happened in my life recently. 1) My coming-to-a-straight-friend story seems to finally have a real happy ending. After some time our relationship is totally revived and restored to a level, where it was before the coming-out. And I mean it. Everything is perfect right now. I'm so happy about it!
2) It seems that I'm kind of in love. There is a guy I met recently. And I really like him. And - surprisingly (yeah! can you imagine?!) he likes me too. So, it's fucking mutual. And it makes me even happier! Though there's still a lot of things to figure out... But there's definitely something really good happening in my life...
3) I've got the best friend I've ever had. She (and, yep, it's a girl) is smart, beautiful, funny, talented, successful, caring, optimistic, sexy (as far as I can judge ;)))))) and possesses all those character traits which make her a magnificent person altogether. I'm so happy I met her on my life's path and am proud to have her as my close friend. (She's definitely reading these lines now and smiling. :))))))))
All in all, I'm fine. Don't want to scare my luck away and put an evil eye on it. So, no more words.
Have a blast, boys and girls! And enjoy this nice and bright song I'm fond of these days.
Current Mood: happy Current Music: Kety Perry - E. T. (Futuristic Lover)

22:56 - The Weekend. Finally!
This week was freaking long and busy. I lacked sleep almost every day, got my brain all twisted and drained, became nervous and even angry by the end of this five days eternity. I thank God, it's finally over. And there are two days of fun, rest and sleep awaiting for me. I plan on having a great weekend. I'm going to meet my friends, hang out, spend some time outdoors, grab a dinner at some cafe, watch a movie, do some other funny shit. I really hope the forthcoming days will bring me joy and will soothe my body and soul.
BTW, the story with my straight'n'special friend, I came out to recently, has been slowly developing for the past few days. And I have to admit everything is not that bright and fuzzy I'd hoped it to be. But, well, I was ready for that. He seems to be okay communicating with me, but I can clearly feel something is not how it used to be. Definitely. The frankness, the caring attitude, the fun, the warmth, even the stupid phone calls and texts have disappeared. Vanished! For the first day I even thought we didn't even know each other. It was like I talked to a stranger. At least that's how I felt.
And, I gotta say, that's not merely his fault. I've added my two cents to this cold atmosphere. Seeing him being all distant and stuff, I started acting the same. I know it's not right, but I just can't force myself to act as if nothing happened. Especially after receiving such freezing vibes from a guy I always was cheerful and sincere with.
Today was probably the best day of our 'coming back to normal friendship' routine. For a moment I felt that good old warm atmosphere we always had. I dunno if he feels the same. He's always so awkward when it comes to words. I guess, that's because he's straight. :)))))))) Anyways, my other good (and great friend), who knows about my 'coming-out-to-a-straight-friend-issue' told me, that it's normal for a straight guy to be gloomy and non-friendly for quite some time, since it's pretty new to him. And he just needs more time to adjust. I think she (and that great friend of mine is a nice beautiful girl, who is btw married :)) is right. Though she tries to comfort me, I still believe she's right. I hope so.
Reading all this you might've thought I'm in love with that guy. At some point you might be right. I really like him very much, and maybe saying 'I love him' won't be an exaggeration. But the case is that I really treasure him, excluding the sexual part of our relationship. I dunno if you can get me, but there's this kind of friendship, when you actually love somebody, but don't want to fuck that person. I guess, that's my case. Well, you don't have to understand me.
So, I'm not going to throw myself on him. I'm not going to push him. It's just sad to see that my truth made us reinvent our friendship. I mean, WHAT HAS CHANGED? Nothing. For me at least. But still, I feel like we're getting to know each other once again. And what frightens me most is the possibility of not getting back to where we were. And if that happens, I really don't think I would be able to continue being friends with him. It's just NOT RIGHT. Either we are same old friends or we are not. It's as simple as that. I just hope he'll understand that and will finally talk to me...
Apart from that,

21:01 - Dan Balan & Vera Brezhneva - Lepestkami Slyoz (By The Leaves of Tears) MV This seemingly silly music video still looks kinda nice. And even the song becomes listenable after a couple of playbacks. :)

0:29 - The Beach
Watching 'The Beach' on telly. I've been to Thailand a couple of times, but have never thought of this country as of something that mysterious and dangerous. More like of something eternally funny, stuck in entertainment, lust and fulfilling desire. Sure, Bangkok is freaking huge and the sky there is ferric and it's pressuring you. And the crowded streets seem to eager to swallow you like a giant whale. In this movie there's that magical island, where people find their dreams. It gives you the vibe of something truly Thai. I don't know how to explain it, but Thailand is all about that feeling - magic in its action. But somehow you always realize that all this is just a mirage. And that it's only temporarily. Strange. I didn't know 'The Beach' would make me think about this crazy stuff. :) Anyhow, Thailand is great. I love Bangkok. And sure, I love Thai beaches. ;) And that's it. :) Posted via LiveJournal.app.

23:35 - Aching sign
I've been to gym three days ago. Completed a usual workout routine for abs then. Maybe added a few new exercises to freshen it up a bit to keep muscles toned. It's been three days already and my abdominals still hurt. It's not a problem really, but I can still the sore aching around my stomach. An as far as I know that is a good sign of that the muscles are growing. You know I've always dreamt of six-pack. And, gee, I can definitely see it's coming. Not that I'm all excited about that, but it's cool to realize your efforts are not being fruitless. :) I was bored and wanted to post something here. So here you got it. :))) Posted via LiveJournal.app.
