The danger of watching The Biggest Loser, in all its different forms, is that you keep expecting to drop the same insane amount of weight in a week– and unless you have the time to exercise several hours a day… it’s plain just not going to happen.
Baby steps.
But it is great for motivational purposes.
I haven’t seen Harry Potter yet. As a huge HP fan… It’s not very impressive, but I also find that the longer I go without seeing it, the less inclined am I to do so.
I enjoyed the book, but it was also very dark and depressive. Do I really want to go into Christmas feeling dark and depressed yet again? On the other hand, I got some good shipping bits from the other movies…
Probably going to go see it on Sunday, though.
In the mean time there is the rest of the yogalates video to go through tonight. I keep feeling that I am not getting a workout, but my muscles are aching nevertheless…
Charles & Harry is a mini series that NRK sent this Christmas. It details the 6-8 months period in the life of Prince Carl of Denmark and Princess Maud of Wales before they became the King and Queen of Norway. It therefore also includes a gallery of the royal family in Copenhagen and King Edward VII in the UK.
The series have received critique for being 10% facts and 90% fiction. Nevertheless, even though I was gnashing my teeth some of the time, it is an interesting series to watch.
I rather liked the family dynamics of the Danish court, and the more carefree depictions of family life in Bredgade.
I also liked how they got some the actors to look like the persons they were meant to portray. Although, I am convinced that Jacob Cedergren would also have made a fabulous Czar Nicholas II.
Unfortunately for royal watchers elsewhere, it is chiefly in Danish, with some Norwegian & Swedish thrown into the mix. There are bits and pieces of dialogue in English and French (the previous Princess Marie was by all accounts in the series not pleased about being in Denmark) but it is subtitled in Norwegian. It puzzles my mind, though, how, when the series is written and produced and sent by the same company, they can manage to mistranslate Danish to Norwegian in the subtitles.
NRK is apparently in talks of selling the series to other countries.
