Nox Invictus

Nox Invictus

Hello~ I'm Rupa. Im 21 and I'm from New York (I love NY!). I'm in college but I still have time to read. Though lately, I dont pick up a book as often. *shrugs* It comes and goes. I basically got this site to keep track of the stuff Ive read since I was little.

I like reading about things that open your mind and make you see things... more »

    Oh yes, I don't like Russell Crowe very much but with Matthew in it... I'll definitely watch it then. Have you ever watched Death at a Funeral? It's a British comedy with Matthew in it as well. I laughed so hard! Definitely worth watching. I also heard that there's going to be an American remake. Haha see? I just did it again... I don't know where and how I learn all these things about movies but I love being the one telling you!

    That's it!! They really must be on crack, that explains it! lol I only hope the new director for Eclipse (David Slade) will follow his example... Haha yeah, the eye contacts... they really were red, but I liked them and I think they really helped Dakota with her role and transformation.

    Oh yay! Thanks so much for the link :) I've only watched the first 2 episodes of season 3 so I'll have a lot of catching up to do... But it's sad there won't be a fourth season... Oh well, at least there will be a movie (which will be released in May 2010)!

    Oh that's an excellent plan! It must be an amazing experience to teach abroad! I really hope you'll be able to do that one day... I wish you all the luck in the world :)

    I just came back from the theater... New Moon was sooo much better than Twilight! Chris Weitz is a genius!! I think I even liked the movie better than the book... (New Moon being my least favorite book of the series). What about you? Did you like it?

    Oh really! Richard Armitage + Toby Stephens in the same tv show?! That's something haha. It's been a while since I last saw an episode of Robin Hood (couldn't find the links anymore) but I hope to find a way to catch up soon.

    I'm not familiar with that program/major, what's it about? Is it teachers college or something else? Oh man, I have no idea where I'll be after I'm done with school. I've got some ideas but nothing specific... I'm hoping to have a better idea next year with all the admin classes I'm planning to take. Right now, I have 3 classes but they're all pretty basic (research, program evaluation,...).

    Btw, New Moon is coming out soon... are you planning on going? I saw the trailer and it looks like it's going to be way better than the 1rst one! :)

    Sorry, no, I haven't heard of it. I looked for it over the internet but haven't found it :( But I will keep in mind to look for Half Light as well, sounds interesting especially with Hans in it!

    I watched Jane Eyre today and finally saw the scene you were talking about! Yes, you're right, it was totally unexpected! God, she really was possessed!

    Yeah, I know what you mean. I felt the same way a couple months back; wanting to move along and begin the next step of your life... Some people just don't have any idea how much efforts are put into that little piece of paper, right? But hang in there, it will be so worth it, you'll see ;) Oh really?! Which options are you considering? Must be exciting for you...

    I'm also tired of school, hmwk and exams. It's pretty much that little piece of paper that motivates me haha. Can't wait to finally be done with school! Oh well, only one more year...

    Take care!

    To which transgression are you referring to? Sorry, I watched it but I really don't remember...
    Yeah I know! Rafe Spall didn't do a really good job in my opinion... he was too indifferent and looked unaffected by the situation. At least, with Toby Stephens, we could see that he had indeed some feelings...
    I was also saving it because I wanted to read the book first, but now... I think that the movie is enough. I mean, I have a pretty good idea now of what the Lady of the Lake was like, and what kind of relationship King Arthur and his wife had, and the conflict between him and his best friend, Lancelot,... There's one part in particular that was very appalling (I don't want to give away spoilers so I won't give you any specifics) but if you want to learn more about Arthurian legends, then you should give it a try... plus, Hans is in it :)

    Btw, how are you? How's school these days? What's new?

    Hi Rupa!

    I've just finished watching Wide Sargasso Sea! Sorry for the delay... These past few weeks have been crazy! November looks even crazier and I just hope I'll have enough time to get everything done :S Anyway, thanks again for the link! I'm glad to know the complete story now. The only part I didn't really like though is near the end when Rochester cheated on his wife with her being in the next room where she could hear everything. I mean, that's really not the way to deal with the situation... even if she really was a ''lunatic'', I think she really loved her husband and didn't deserve this... Oh well. Did you also see a little resemblance between Rafe Spall (young Rochester) and Toby Stephens (Rochester in Jane Eyre)? And I agree, Rebecca Hall did an amazing job!

    Btw, I was watching The Mists of Avalon (2001) the other day and guess who I saw playing the role of the villain?? Hans Matheson, of course! Who else?! haha! He did a pretty good job too, although I thought the story was really messed up!! Have you seen that movie?

    Oh and I saw that you were done reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo! I hope I'll finish it in time and look forward to discuss it with you! :)

    Well, no. But it's a term project and it's divided into 5 parts... this was paper #2. Lots of research... not my favorite thing to do!! haha

    I looked at many video sites and still couldn't find Bright Star :( I want to see it too but it's nowhere to be found... but I'll keep an eye open for that.

    I noticed you're reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo! I started reading it this summer and thought about picking it up again. Do you like it so far? I'm only at chapter 2 so I haven't made up my mind yet.

    Wow thanks! :) How come I didn't know about this?! It'll be interesting to see what really happened with Rochester's first marriage. Can't wait to watch it... right after I'm done with my term paper which is due tomorrow :(

    God, I really hope not. It would really suck if she was the ''New Keira Knightley'' (who's like pretty much in EVERY historical movie... very annoying).

    I bought the book but haven't read it yet. I saw the movie though... I really liked the story and I thought the casting was great, esp. Toby Stephens (Mr. Rochester) who is btw Maggie Smith's son! I saw that Jane Eyre is among your favorites, so it def. goes on my TBR list!

    Hmm I thought about it, but no, I still have no idea! I just don't want Kristen Stewart to be Katniss, that's for sure!

    Oh, I'm glad! I really hope you'll like them as mush as I do! :)

    Yeah, I think *I hope* it will be a great one and that they'll make all 3 movies. The story is amazing... they just need a great cast (esp. for Katniss, Peeta and Gale). But after Harry Potter, they can do pretty much anything on screen! haha

    Btw, have you read Graceling or Fire by Kristin Cashore? I highly recommend her books, they're amazing!!

    Yeah, I know! I feel the same way :( But you know what? There's going to be a movie!! (http://www.hungergamestrilogy.com/fansite/hgmovie.html) so after the last book, we'll get to see and experience all those adventures again... but on screen :)
