Here we go~~
These aren’t necessarily 2009 albums, but were listened in the last days of 2009. xD

I’ve seen a lot of films, but somehow it still feels I haven’t seen enough.
This is the last day for everyone to send me their nominations for the Experiment Awards.
Posting one by one my 5 picks mixed with Acerk’s so he doesn’t get bored re-reading his entries.
Anyway, I invite all Yu fans to participate… you know, if you’re interested.
Please, no “I wish Yu could be in Avatar” – I beg you. LOL
Also… please, subscribe subscribe and take notice of the ad pimps.

In my opinion, Yu’s had a pretty decent 10-year career. She’s been a supporting character more than I would prefer, but who cares, she’s still young and has a long way to go. Here are 5 movies that I wish she could have been in. I believe each film selected would have helped her career in one way or another.

Independent Film has a new post by Heidi Van Lier talking about her hopes for Indies this year, which I found interesting… considering last night’s People’s Choice gave Favorite Indie Film to Inglourious Basterds. If you do a quick google, it turns out that Inglourious Basterds cost about $70M USD to make. That’s indie in America for you.
Small studios to actually give out, en masse, small amounts of funding to indie filmmakers to make films under $500,000, and not just talk about doing it. Hell, even $250,000. (Do you know the fab film I could make with $250,000?)
I’m all for more distribution of indie films and foreign.
I’m still trying to find someone to pick up my idea.
The video is pretty disappointingly average,
but the song is quite good. =)
During the holidays, I messaged Acerk about him collaborating on a series of posts about films that he would have liked Yu Aoi to be in. If Only is fairly simple.
You pick your subject, in our case Yu Aoi, and choose films that we would have loved to see her in. There’s just a few rules to the game, the subject needs to positively be right for the role. For example, as much as I could love Cate Blanchett on Elizabeth… Yu Aoi can NOT play her. LOL
Of course, there are work-arounds to your logic…
Like for example a 1999 film with a 20-something year old character. You could argue that Yu would be just a teen back then, but she could star in it now. Or a 2001 film about a girl in her late-teens… Yu was in her late teens.
Of course, the Elizabeth role would need to be a pretty awesome logic xD
Anyway, Acerk agreed, and this is his queue that he should send me something. I had my picks last week, but I lost them — soo… I had to try to remember them, but they turned out a little bit different. Hopefully better than my first picks. Definitely interesting choices.
If you (not Acerk, coz he’s already doing a set) are interested on making your OWN If Only assumptions, leave a comment stating it. Everyone is welcomed! Especially Yu Aoi fans.
What do you think about the idea?

These are our If Only picks~
I wasn’t gonna post these — like I said, not a calendar person — , but ran into some okay scans,
so now I’m looking for all of them. If you have them, resolution of 560px wide or more
leave a link on the comments!
I can totally see Dutch Milk Maid… or Hansel & Gretel. Ja?
Turns out that Faye Wong had been working on the main theme for the Chow Yun-Fat Confucius film. The song, titled You Lan Cao (幽兰操), was finished on December 31st, and will be released on January 6th for the release of the film.
It is based on the works of the Tang Dynasty poet Han Yu (韩愈, 768-824). The director, Hu Mei, is reported to have described Faye’s rendition as ethereal, as “Communication of the earth and the sky’s beauty.”
…
The new song uses only 64 Chinese characters and is adapted from ancient poet Han Yu’s eulogy on orchids that resonated with the iconic philosopher Confucius.
