Apparently a new Major Grom/Майор Гром movie just came out (like a week ago) and now I have to wait until it's available to watch online in good quality because I refuse to besmirch this potential masterpiece by watching it in 360p with barely distinguishable audio.

Life in China #12 Weather in the South

The weather here is even more unpredictable than that of the UK. The day started out unexpectedly hot, hitting 34-35 with the air more humid than a sauna, and it ended with a thunderstorm and feeling like I was inhaling water everytime I breathed in.

The totally normal feeling of buying an iced tea on a humid dizzy day from my chinese university's family mart whilst they have an old 2010s BigBang song (blue i think?) blaring in the background, instantly transporting me 9 years back to warm summer evenings listening to exactly the same music drinking a similar tea.

I FINALLY finished reading Master and Margarita.

I have no words to describe just how long it took me to finish reading this one single book, but now that I did I can finally cross it out on my main reading list after it has been waiting there ever since the pandemic.

That's why I decided to finally get around watching the most recent Master and Margarita movie and honestly? Not bad.

Plotwise I think they did great considering the amount of material that they had to fit into a 2hr 30min-ish movie.

The casting was spot-on, the German actor August Diehl played Woland/The Devil, which was really surprising as his Russian was really good.

Another pleasant surprise was that the actor who played Satan (Yuri Kolokolnikov, he was also in GoT!) in Doomsday/Конец света starred along as Koroviev, which really showed a new interesting side to his acting.

Music, costumes and especially the scenery was really good, my only slight disappointment was that Behemoth the cat got significantly less screen-time and that he wasn't as behemoth and chaotic as described (see below - I just think that the movie Behemoth doesn't really match the energy of the book Behemoth)

Nonetheless, it's a solid 8 from me, so I recommend checking out Мастер и Маргарита/ Master and Margarita!
