Well I read Avonlea and Island and they were awesome especially because I've decided that I've got to find myself a real version of Gilbert Blythe to swoon over. So… yeah!

Thanks for recommending this other title!

You totally got why I was confuzzled by the movie. It was one thing to verbally explain how the mission was supposed to go, I was following pretty well, but once it all goes to shit I found it hard to follow the varied groups of soldiers and where they were geographically, plus I didn't get a clear sense of the…

I'm totally jealous of myself, too!

- Well, I'll skip the Metástasis/Breaking Bad talk this week because I went to some live stuff worth mentioning. First, I went to UCB East for the first time, and it was pretty swell. It was "Lloyd Night" and I got to see my first Harold. It was cool to see so many college-educated white people in their natural…

YAY I'm halfway through Metástasis (Breaking Bad en español)! So I've basically finished three seasons' worth and shit is really REALLY hitting the fan. This adaptation continues to compel me and confound me, SPOILERY TALK FOR BOTH VERSIONS, sorry this is so freaking long:

God, I forgot to mention that after Jose lands himself in the hospital that scene where he just shits on Walter was amazing, real quality acting happening with most of the cast but the guy playing Jose killed it. I can't believe I wasn't keen on the dude at first.

I've been watching Metástasis, of course, except I dropped the ball and missed an episode. Damn your expiring ways, Hulu! [SPOILERS FOR BOTH METASTASIS AND BREAKING BAD, OBVIOUSLY] From what I remember, the original episode wasn't too wild, so I'm good. I'm up to the concluding part of the cousins' storyline. The…

If the original is a perfect A, this one is a sometimes wobbly B+. Compared to what I think of as "telenovelas," this is mercifully devoid of histrionics and that's really helpful. Sometimes the pacing doesn't feel quite right, and I don't like Saúl, and it's clearly a much lower-budget affair (the cinematography…

I missed a lot of Metástasis (Colombian Breaking Bad) because I was incredibly busy, and now I'm scrambling to catch up. I'm nearing the end of S02, but not quite there. Here are some things I've noticed, SPOILERS TO BOTH SHOWS, OBVIOUSLY:

Yup, yup. I know that she always wrote her own lyrics, and I assume she produced a lot of the music too. I figured she counted as an idol because she's so much of a style icon. Her persona seems to matter as much as the music herself, but as I said, I guess I don't have a clear grasp on what makes an idol an idol.

Does Ayumi Hamasaki not count as an idol either? I guess this article didn't clear things up for me, heh.

No one will read this because I've been late to the party a lot recently, but here goes: watched a few more eps of Metástasis (Breaking Bad) and the differences continue. For example, Louis is now "Lucho" (which is a nickname and not a name) and in this version, Badger goes by "Mono" ("Monkey"). Curious changes to…

Ain't no big thing! If the show sucked I would quit it and you would hear no more :)

Hello all, I haven't gotten very far into Metástasis (Colombian Breaking Bad) this week. Weirdly, the episodes have stopped expiring on plain Hulu, so if you're curious, you can currently watch episodes 8 to 16. Spanish subs only, but if you've watched the show, you know what's up. That way you can try it for…

Agreed, the title is great!

Well, I've been watching Metástasis, that remake of Breaking Bad. A weird thing has happened in that I can't quite recall the original so well anymore, so that every now and then something will happen on this telenovela that really surprises me, and I can't figure out whether I'm surprised because it's a real…

Ha! Thanks, I don't know how much I'll have to say about it because both shows are sooooo similar. Plus, it airs five times a week, so I don't know if I'll be able to keep up. But still, I want to hold on as long as I can and if there's anything to note I'll make sure to share.

An excellent point. Now that I've watched this show in Spanish, it really illuminates Jesse's usage of "Mr. White" is more complicated than I first noted. It's a mixture of "Dude who are you and what are you doing to my life" and "Yessir, I totally respect your authority because you're older and in many ways smarter…

My dearest losers and lovers,
