I've been in a bad mood for weeks, so I've stayed away from unanon fandom and haven't even reblogged much on tumblr, which is as undemanding as it gets. Not that I've been angry, just not really in the mood for anything.

I must say, though, that Cloud Atlas cheered me up immensely! Seriously, it's probably going to be one of my favourite films of all time. I was so incredibly moved, I can't even describe it. And I'm going to see it again while it's still in cinemas (it premiered here just about a month ago).

Looking at my latest entries, one would think I do nothing but watch films, haha. And the next one is probably going to be Mördaren ljuger inte ensam (The killer is not alone in telling lies, I think it would be in English), which is a good, solid fifties murder mystery based on the book by Maria Lang, which in turn is apparently heavily inspired by the Lord Peter Wimsey books.

I just love mysteries. It's why I love Sherlock Holmes (though not the only reason), the Agatha Christie books and adaptations, the Sjöwall/Wahlöö books... And also why I started watching The Mentalist, which I've seriously come to love; it's pretty much Sherlock Holmes in California, solving murders in the classic Christie style. It's just the thing when I'm feeling down and listless!

I'm trying to collect my thoughts enough to write some meta or fic, but no luck as of yet.
