Look at this cheese commercial shot for CNIEL -Centre National Interprofessionnel de l’Economie Laitière by the EURO RSCG Agency. It’s like a cute combination of The Host and… you know, Cheese. In Paris. xD

Recently, I’ve noticed that Kpop YouTube channels have been uploading their content with English subtitles!! That makes them official English subtitles — for some major groups like Brown Eyed Girls’ GaIn’s Bloom [MV] and Miss A’s I Don’t Need a Man [MV] (they’ve even added Simplified Chinese!) are recent examples — rendering in my opinion most (if not all) Kpop fansub groups useless.
There’s now no reason to upload an extra video with subtitles… at least in English [1].
Having said that… the quality of subtitles are very important when choosing your fansub group. It is, of course, the content and subtlety of the translation that matters the most, but in terms of hardsubs- it’s also about type-setting. It needs to be readable, and personal comments kept away out of the subtitles [1]. Matters should be as professional as possible… that also means language should be as neutral as possible.
You know I don’t really mind my songs not being translated… but it’s nice to find your favorite songs done the right way.
When did this become NOT the norm for American pop music videos?
I know music video’s budgets have skyrocketed [1] — as of 2012 MJ and Janet’s Scream [MV] directed by Mark Romanek was still the most expensive music video ever made at $7M USD~~~ adjusted to nearly $11M USD nowadays. In fact, 8 of the Top10 Most Expensive Music Videos are of the 90s, lead by Madonna and Michael Jackson. Though, I still find it unbelievable that Mariah Carey’s Heartbreaker [MV] cost $2.5M USD. That’s just gotta be money not well spent.
Instead, Dominic Sena made this… fairly simple quite rocking and powerful music video.
Also, overreaching here since this MV is from 1989, but did the award circles in 1990 ;P
I had tried to resist you all throughout my trip in Taiwan when I was bombarded by your beautiful face selling me stuff from 7/11. How can you be a pretty boy and super sexy as well??
You should probably shave that 5-o’clock-not-a-shadow. It looks pretty silly.
This is a shot from the February 2012 edition of BQ (北京青年周刊) magazine, to promote the rom-com Ai LOVE.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again — I find it shocking that this is the same girl that needed to research sexyness for Abracadabra. Having said that, I love LOVE LOVE her latest mini album, so much at first listen that I’ve already picked up a physical copy of it to have in my collection.
The track Tinkerbell is sick, and it makes an interesting contrast to this clip of GaIn giving pole-dancing lessons in a really funny way.
Did I ever tell you about my classmate from English class? Her last name was Sigismondi as well. I can’t even remember her name, and faintly remember her face… but I remember her. She was one of the only students who was a mother at the time… I wonder what happened to her.
ANYWAY, here’s Pink’s latest music video. It’s the most tight music video she’s ever done.
Ghost and I are planning to (just planning to) make a list of all the videos we can come up that have prominent dancing. Some ideas already brewing in my head, the list might turn into something awesome.
So I had to write a small composition about my favorite city, so I picked Vancouver because it’s the only other city I can freely talk about. I wrote 130 characters — give or take — and made me realize just how much you can say on Weibo in 140 characters. Once I have a better handling of words, I might really do 140 Chinese characters music and movie reviews on there~
