  • Lee Hyori for Cosmopolitan Korea

    I feel I shouldn’t be posting these, hahaha. But you know, Julz sent them… and I have nothing to post at the moment, so I figured some people should see them xD

    So I’m linking this time.

    For the full set, NSFW… I mean, looking at bikinis catalogs at work is kinda creepy — go to Eiffel in Seoul.

    I am now part of LAMB (The Large Association of Movie Blogs).

    :O


  • Love in Disguise Trailer with Subs

    Lee Hom does everything. He writes his own music, plays like 14 instruments… since he’s American, he learned to speak Mandarin… and Cantonese… and Japanese… and he even speaks French. Etc. Etc.

    To make things short, Lee Hom is a pretty awesome musician.

    And he’s acted before… not so sure about Moon Child, but Ang Lee’s Lust, Caution is a VERY good project to have on your CV… and now, Love in Disguise is his debut as a director.

    call me crazy, but this reminded me of Nodame Cantabile. It’s the music setting. Plus, big points for Joan Chen ;P not tagging this as a trailer yet.

    Also, subtitled come from the Official Wang Lee Hom channel. Now they only need to add his videos, so I don’t need to read “Sony BMG doesn’t allow the stream of this video in your region” Argh!


  • The Green Hornet Trailer

    Oh, Jay~
    Why did you have to open your mouth and talk. LOL

    You look cool doing your kicking, but all your dialog didn’t do it for me. Having said that… I do find Seth Rogen slimness, kind of unsettling because during the first frames, there was some quiver… then he spoke and it was gone. Phew.

    But this is Michel Gondry, right? So I’m still watching it.

    BTW, I hate the way they say “KAY-TOH” UGH. Never heard the English audio for The Green Hornet, so I actually grew up with how normal people say Kato. xD


  • Chris Colfer Mad Ninja Skills

    I wanted to say it’s adorable, but it’s actually kind of hot. xD

  • T.O.P – Turn it Up

    via Julz email xD

    Hi, there TOP? Why do you sound so much like Sean Paul? No wonder Nayeli thinks Koreans speak English like Jamaican people. Look, TOP… I love your sexy voice why do you have to go and mess it up with autotune. You can do a spoken word album, and it would sound good. LOL

    Having said that. Your video looks good. You look awesome… and you being dorky kills me.

    Also… you know what would have been even more killer? If you had Yu Aoi playing those drums… even a cameo would have killed G-Dragon, and you know it.


  • The L Word + Yu Aoi Fandom Crossover

    I’m sorry, I had to post this. xD

    I ran into this post in Japanese talking about something about a The L Word London/British BBC remake version (?), and the poster asked herself who she would cast in a Japanese remake of The L Word… or something like that. You know, you should always take my translations with a grain of salt. xD

    ベット:天海祐希
    ティナ:石田ゆり子
    アリス:菅野美穂
    ディナ:梨花
    ララ:香里奈
    ジェニー:蒼井優
    マ リーナ:原沙知絵
    シェーン:柴崎コウ
    カルメン:黒木メイサ
    パピ:土屋アンナ
    ヘレナ:松下ゆき

    Bolding mine~

    As Bette Porter: Yuki Amami
    As Tina Kennard: Yuriko Ishida
    As Alice Pieszecki: Miho Kanno
    As Dana Fairbanks: Rinka
    As Lara Perkins: Karina Nose (?)
    As Jenny Schecter: Yu Aoi <- I “WHAT” at this one xD
    As Marina Ferrer: Sachie Hara
    As Shane McCutcheon: Kou Shibasaki <- OMG I laughed at this one, actually snorted.
    As Carmen de la Pica Morales: MEISA Kuroki
    As Eva Torres (aka. Papi): Anna Tsuchiya <- I burst out laughing ‘coz I can picture it.
    As Helena Peabody: Yuki Matsushita

    First thoughts? It would be actually kind of exciting… considering Jenny was often described as “the main character” on the show, that would mean Yu on a new show xD and… no disrespect to Mia Kirshner and her Jenny, but OMG… how much I wanted to hit Jenny in the face. LOL She was… exasperating. So in that sense, I would like to see if Yu could make me want to punch her in the face with her Jenny, or if the Japanese writers (and Yu’s new interpretation) would be able to make me sympathetic towards her.

    And if by any chance it gets remade… well, I doubt any Japanese network would be able to get away with all the smut, so all the smut would have to be implied. I don’t have a problem with that, as I actually think that all the smut took away from whatever little you could salvage from the telenovela.

    *sighs* I haven’t talk about The L Word since it ended… unless you count the Shane posts xD And talking about Shane… how about Kou Shibasaki as her? I don’t know man… Shane’s like iconic. LOL It’s like you say “Shane” and people should know, you know? Could Shibasaki play suave? I don’t know any actress that could pull of Shane’s player attitude.

    And since we’re talking about players… how about Papi. You know why I laughed with the suggestion of Tsuchiya. Because I was reminded the time I was watching Kamikaze Girls with a friend, and Anna Tsuchiya, playing Ichigo, was on screen with Momoko (played by Kyoko Fukada) and my friend literally “She’s sooooo cool” and then she turned around and asked me whether Kamikaze Girls was a gay film. Hence, I can picture Tsuchiya playing Papi.

    Thoughts?

    Luckily for me, I hate crowds… so I would probably skip this for the rest of the year. xD Plus, a Harry Potter setting would look much better in winter or fall… even if it’s a Florida winter~ xD

    Could you imagine if there were actual snow in Hogsmeade? SPAZZ xP

    I want my wand, and to taste butterbeer… and I actually wouldn’t mind eating there.

    Lainey’s description was amazing.
