Started watching Sherlock today. After pilot and first proper episode, seems like decent series. Benedict Cumberbatch pulls a good role, whereas I feel Martin Freeman overplays his character at times. Some individual shots, especially close-ups, seemed to have odd camera angles, where person who's talking isn't at shot at all, and instead camera's zooming on back of Cumberbatch's neck.
That kind of small stuff.
Writing's good though, and that's really the core part. Moffat can be good at his job when Tumblr's not hating him.
I don't recall anyone ever telling me I'm a bad artist. Right now I feel like I could maybe use that.
Value of straight-up negative feedback is not appreciated enough. Maybe all those "I'm so ugly"-status updates on facebook and "Look at this shitty art I made"-posts on every site ever aren't just for attention-whoring. There are people who sometimes legitimately want others to tear their work down and deny all the skill and talent they have.
Of course, the problem is with the commenting itself. Once you have to ask certain kind of feedback, indirectly or not, it has already lost it's meaning. And of course sometimes negative feedback is not what you want.
It's difficult, having emotions.
I wonder how many of you there are, out there. In a year this blog has been visited over 3000 times. probably over 500 are me popping in, checking those other blogs on the left. I guess my familymembers visit on weekly basis. I have 3 to 5 friends who, I strongly assume, are stalking this blog. Maybe one or two of you Orivesi-students even look up to my work. Nah, I wonder, you guys are better than me already.
Thinking that there are people who not only know this blog exists, but even check it out once or twice every week, hoping to see something new... It's a... nice thought.
I'm worried about my best friend. She's been fighting for too long already, and she doesn't deserve everything she's going through. She deserves more than to be alone on christmas.
I'm definitely going to pay her a visit when I get a chance on holidays.
I'm just writing down my thoughts here. Still, I'm grateful you're interested. Thank you.
