On Bednaya Nastya, Daniil Srahov and Angel
Oct. 1st, 2007 10:19 pmEEEEEEEE! I am in "Russian" period because awesome and fabulous ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dangermousie (to whom I am forever thankful) sent me THE MOST ADDICTIVE thing in the universe or Russian tv-novella "Bednaya Nastya" (or "Poor Nastya"). Not to confuse things, the main heroine is called Anna and she is in the most delicious master/serf, yin/yang, bad boy/lovely girl relationship with Baron Vladimir Corf (played by Daniil Strahov). This tv-novella is also full of other angst-filled romantic relationships and amazing adventures, all 120 episodes of it. And YES! Duels! I have been missing Russian fiction so much because no one does duels as good as Russian 19th century prose. Oh, I am bubbling – I spent the whole of Saturday and Sunday watching "Bednaya Nastya", I just could not stop!
And look! This is Daniil Strahov who is playing the main hero, Baron Vladimir Corf. Please pass me some smelling salts!
( Some more pictures of Daniil Stahov, 17 in total )
Angel I have started watching "Angel" and this is the love from the first sight. It is indeed much better then "Buffy" for me (include here that I like "Buffy" very much). "Angel" is just so much more of a good (and by good I also mean dark) supernatural story where "Buffy" is really a story about high-school with supernatural bits helping telling this "school" story rather then vice versa. And here I am quite petty – "Buffy"'s title music score is really raking my nerves recently, I find this type of music head-pounding. It is fine when you hear it for the first 5 times but I am through (40?) episodes and I am truly getting enough of it. You see – PETTY!
PS: Bionic Woman I watched it today too. It is in no way original but very pretty, especially Will Yun Lee. But! I have a bad bad feeling that the whole point of this show is to make girls fight on TV..
