  • 15th Critics Choice Awards Winners

    I’m not watching… I dunno where to watch, and I think they’re still going on. ITG did a quickie prediction, and said Avatar was gonna win a many few.

    So I’m posting winners, as I find them.

    Done! Yay! There’s was a little love for District 9… not AS much, but at least. Too much love for Avatar in my opinion… and no love for Red Cliff. Of course, I’m biased.

  • Globes 2009-2010 Predictions~

    Like I’ve said before, my GG predictions are kinda rubbish~ So what I’ll do is list the films in the order of their chances of winning, as well as the one I want to win.

    I’ve actually seen most of the films, except for 13 (3 of which are foreign), so I think that’s pretty good.

    # of likeliness of winning – movie
    * I want this one to win

  • Asami Mizukawa for Playboy?

    LOL’

    I never expected to see Playboy Japan, let alone post about it. Photos and style seem different, no? Reminds me of the French Playboy edition with Juliette Binoche. Super class!

  • Tenga Eggs

    Squishy and Oishii have completely changed their meanings.

    Someone at NotCot ran into these Tenga Eggs. Obviously, I didn’t know what they were about until I saw the commercial… but maybe I’m just part of the minority that didn’t know. LOL

  • Women and Marriage on Film

    Yes, this is a romantic comedy post.

    Entertainment Weekly has a new post titled What Hollywood Gets Wrong about Women and Marriage, in light of the recent release of Amy Adams’ Leap Year.

    Obviously, Rom-Coms are a branch of Chick Flicks, and Chick Flicks are doomed. Especially in the West, where Chick Flick is a super negative tag on a film. Whip Ip (which I enjoyed a lot) is a Chick Flick, and it’s fun. My dad enjoyed it a lot. We should totally watch Roller Derby together.

    But Rom-Coms, where they specifically want a female character to find love/get together/get married with someone, they are doomed on a different level. American (as a continent) Romantic Comedies forget that it’s not about people getting together or marrying, and completely forget the characters. In the end, we just don’t care enough for the character to care if she is or not getting the guy.

    Do you recall any good romantic comedies of the past 10 years?

    I remember I liked Imagine Me & You, My Sassy Girl (Korean version), Saving Face, Love Actually, Were the World Mine, Love me if You Dare~~~ well, that’s a pretty gay selection. LOL


  • Another Political Rant Post

    Venezuela’s currency is sinking lower.

    Argentina’s president doesn’t want to pay the country’s international debt.

    Mexico reported 69 deaths to drug-related crimes in just 24hrs.

    Peru… been there, done that. Well, except the 69 deaths, I can’t remember anything about that… but I do remember about terrorists and the narcoterrorists.

    I’m all for voicing your opinion, but saying whatever you want (like yelling fire in a public place) or instigating violence and hate with what your saying is not permitted. Sorry to say.

    Governments should give their people what they NEED, not what they WANT. Obviously, we don’t know what we [as a country, not as individuals] need because we are too selfish to look more than the tip of our noses [is this saying even plausible in English?]. We will never get anywhere if one political party goes left, then the other party goes right — Sadly, that’s the business of politics.

    Maybe democracy is just a tiny bit overrated~~~

    After all, the one who wins isn’t necessarily the most capable, but the most popular.

    And no, I’m not a disillusioned idealist. I stopped being an idealist in high school.

    And yes, I just finished watching 4 seasons of Battlestar Galactica. LOL

  • Maid Cafe, Karaoke and Yakitori for the BSB on their Bigger MV

    Maid Cafe. The very concept makes me giggle.

    But you can never go wrong with Karaoke and Yakitori…
    okay maybe the same can be applied to Maid Cafe too.

    I wasn’t a big fan of the This Is Us album, and Bigger wasn’t my favorite track in it… and the video is normal, but it just kinda works. I mean, it’s Japan~~~ And did I mention the Maid Cafe, Karaoke AND Yakitori?? xD

    This link seems to look a bit better, but can’t embed.
