Daily Prompt: Que Sera Sera

In answer to Wordpress's Daily Prompt.

So, after a while, I've got an answer to the Daily Prompt.
Fate... Destiny. Possible seeing of the future... But what is actually future? And how big it is? For me, future is made by decisions. And those are our own. Nothing to do with some guy named Fate up there...
So, with each decision, there is another alternative world. Another place and that place has different future than this one, because. The deicsion was different.
I don't believe in fate. It's us, people and our decisions that shape the future. Nothing else, and it shouldn't be blamed on anything else!

See ya.

Pompeii

It's about half a week back when I went to see the movie Pompeii. I saw the trailer before and had high expectations. And I was not dissapointed. The movie is very good and definitely worth watching. About a young celtic "slave" (gladiator) that is moved from the city Londinium into Pompeii. There he meets the love of his life – Cassia. And another gladiator who he becomes friends with – Atticus.
However, life is not happy and there is this mean and nasty politician from Rome. And he has his eyes on Cassia. And wants the "slave" dead. So, games in the arena. Okay, that would have been okay. The celtic gladiator is strong enough to win. However, the mountain has other ideas and starts spouting fire. So, everyone panics and starts running. And... "Surprisingly" everyone is fried.
Yes, the plotline is a bit more complicated than that, but I don't want to reveal too much in case you want to see it for yourselves. So there.
The movie was really good and I definitelly recommend it. For some reason it was like I was watching something from the fantasy genre. Even though this is more of a catastrophic movie than anything else. The actors did a good job and while I don't know any of them, it doesn't matter.
However, my slash-y side decided I don't like Cassia. I was hoping that at least the celtic guy would save himself. But no, he has to be the gentleman and stay with the lady! God, I don't like her! If she were a guy, then... But that is not happening. But that's just me. I simply don't like female protagonists. Antagonists, yes, I can bitch about those without being lynched, but female protagonists... No. Not my cup of tea. At least the main guy was pretty.
Go watch it.

See ya.

The Hunger Games - Catching Fire

Hi,
Just yesterday, I finally saw the second Hunger games movie. And, I have to say that I liked the first one better. It was somehow a complete chapter. This one has too much of an open ending. Yeah, I know there will probably be another one, but still... Second movies in trilogies (tetralogies) are usually the worst. And I think this one is not an exception.

So, Katnis is elected to be part of some kind of special round of Hunger games. Okay. Understandable, since she's the only female to ever win in district 12. There are revolutions and somehow the one who organized the hunger games is part of that. Yes, it's complicated. And frankly, I didn't even try to understand it all.
Another thing is I don't like the mockingjay. Sure, it is the symbol of teh revolution or something. And there is some mysterious district 13 and waht not, but seriously, nightingale would have been better. I like nightingale better. However, if I were to choose a bird, I'd go with the Raven.
Well... That's beside the point. One thing's for sure. Do not try to watch it before watching the first movie. I think it would be too confusing.
All in all, it was kinda a dissapointment. Not completely, but still... Second movie and all that. Unlike the czech movie Babovřesky (second movie), this one was not better than the first, but worst. With Babovřesky, the second was as good as the first. I can't say it was better, it was too different, but it was enjoyable.
Okay, enough of this. I'm getting sidetracked!

See ya.

To the Hell with this!

You know what I hate?!
I was just about to continue writing a story. A good story in my oppinion. But... I've re-read the last three pages or so. And wanted to continue, only to find that I don't know what I was planning. And I know I was planning something! The hell? Oh well... I closed it and will come back to it at a later date. Will probably have to re-read the whole thing in order to figure out where it was headed... 
For now, I will write some of the other stories I have. This one will have to wait. That's for sure. 
See ya.
