My thoughts about Interstellar:

There is something to be said for reading up on movies before you watch them. Usually I don't. I don't want to go into a movie with my expectations too high. But then again, not knowing anything may still set your expectations too high. In the case of Interstellar, I wish I had read more about it. If I had, then I wouldn't have bothered to watch it at all. I would have realized that it was not my cup of tea. That's not to say that it's a bad movie. I have no respect for people who dismiss a movie that millions of people love as crap. You should acknowledge that people have different tastes. I belong to the small minority that didn't like 2001 at all. So I should have realized that I wouldn't like Interstellar either. It looked darn impressive, and I liked some of the performances. Surprisingly, I didn't much care for Anne Hathaway. I've liked her before, but not here. Don't quite know why. So if by chance you haven't seen it yet, and you wonder what to trust, my two stars or IMDb's 8.7 score, I say ... Trust no one!

I rate this title

I felt like another fun film... and since I picked this one up this morning I figured I would go ahead and watch it as well. I first saw this one watching Britt's DVD with her. I enjoyed it then so went ahead and grabbed this one when I saw it cheap. I found I enjoyed it just as much as the first time I saw it. I would have liked to seen a few more extras on the disc, but at least it has a few features to check out. I really liked that they got Lynda Carter to play the principle. Anyway... worth checking out if you haven't seen it yet.

Death Note anime/manga/movies comparison, a review by Tom

04. Pursuit

- death gods in the death god realm discuss Ryuk, how he has to stay in the human world until the current owner (Light) dies. And also that Ryuk has two death notes, which is not normal. This means, currently there are at least two death notes in the human world (chapter 3)
- Light refuses Ryuk's death god's eyes deal (chapter 6)
- Ryuk complains about the meaningless of being a death god. Light sees it differently. In his opinion death gods have great effect on the human world. (chapter 5)
- Light tests on inmates how much he can affect the behaviour of this victims with manipulating their cause of death (chapter 6)
- Light finds out the results of his tests through the police files (in his father's files on his computer in the manga, chapter 6)
- Light asks out a girl in his class, because he needs her for his plan to get to know the name of the FBI agent following him (chapter 6)
- they both take a bus, the agent follows them. A criminal, manipulated by the death note, hijacks the bus. Light tricks the FBI agent revealing his name (Raye Pelber). The hijacker dies in an accident when getting of the bus (according to his death note entry)
(chapter 7, end of volume 1 of the manga)

As chance will have it, the first disc (four episodes) of the anime covers exactly the first volume of the manga.
The manga has 12 volumes in total, the anime has 36 episodes.


Movies: About everything of this episode happens in the movie. Main difference is, that in the movies, Light has a girlfriend, who is used here in the bus scene. Even though in the manga it is made clear, that Light does not have girlfriend, because noone is good enough for him, it makes scenes to give him one in the movies. For one thing they don't need to introduce another character for just one scene. Also some discussions with the girlfriend he has in the movies are telling stuff, he only thinks in the manga.
