  • The Man Who Had Never Been to the Cinema by BEELD.

    I’m trying out a new type of posting.

    I found this commercial for Rede Telecine [1], a 2min. short done by Rio de Janeiro-based animation studio BEELD.motion for the campaign Vá ao Cinema (Go to the Cinema).

    Titled O Homem que Nunca Tinha Ido ao Cinema (The Man Who Had Never Been to the Cinema), the short tells the story of a bitter man who dreads movie theaters because he doesn’t understand them… until he does.

    You can check out BEELD’s concepts and storyboards here.


  • The Sorcerer and the White Snake’s Promise

    I love it when I listen to songs that I find translations easily. xD

    It’s good to sing along to too! So I have the pinyin with who sings what to sing along to easily xD

  • The Moods of Ella Chen and Hebe Tien

    You know you spend too much checking out the Cpop music scene when you look at this and think it’s the funniest thing ever because it’s so true.

    I wasn’t/still not a big fan of S.H.E but I gotta admit I’ve warmed up to them, and I guess that comes from my liking of Hebe’s solo albums, which I gotta admit surprised me a lot more.

    I used to — still — find Ella the most entertaining. I’ve never seen her acting, but when I catch S.H.E MVs or clips, she always cracks me up. Her face just crack me up, looking at these pictures cracks me up. That girl is hilarious.

    Then there was Hebe~~~ hahahahahaha.


  • Salted Caramel-covered Nigella Lawson for Stylist

    I don’t get to watch Nigella on tv any longer, mainly because I’m not stuck to it — and when I am, it’s only on the news channel. But I used to watch her show as often as I caught it running.

    I had always thought Nigella had a way with words because she had an MA in language and, as such, knew the right way of talking to get you interested. LOL and then my friend told me she didn’t watch her show because she felt Nigella was flirting with her through it all xD

    I guess I got caught in between all the flirting.

    Anyway, Nigella is the guest editor for this month’s (?) Stylist Magazine, so all their frontpage at the moment is covered with Nigella content ranging from videos, recipes, tips and things~ and with that a lusciously dirty cover with Nigella’s face covered with salted caramel.

    Her post on her love affair with salted caramel is also a good read, with loads of good dirty quotes. Like “I don’t want merely to experience pleasure, I want to wallow in it – gloriously and gratefully – while it lasts.” or:

    Not since the first ever infant suckled at its mother’s breast had a food – it felt – had so much instant impact. If I’d been in a cartoon, my eyes would have bulged, stars would have emanated from my head, and I would have been licking my saliva-spurting lips wolfishly.

  • Samsung Flexible AMOLED Concept

    This would be pretty crazy, but how does this work? xD


  • Yu Aoi’s Shokuzai Press Presentation

    Seriously, time is flying.

    We probably need someone to translate – cough, queue Nina xD

    Does anyone know if a fansub group is taking this? And… are you guys watching this?

    Usagi! The Asian Peace Sign~

    Yu Aoi has been caught! Several times!! LOL

    There’s just… no denying it, Yu.

  • FedEx Dominoes CM

    I love domino-type of videos, as they all go Pythagoras Switch on me. This CM for FedEx is probably not as charming as Docomo’s Forest Xylophone commercial, but still… pretty darn good. Possibly even more effective than Docomo’s CM in the end, because… you know, it relates to the product. xD


  • Sony SME, I Effing Hate You! But I so Love the Dixie Chicks

    I’m just guessing this is Sony’s fault because Dixie Chicks are signed under Columbia which is part of Sony, which makes it part of this whole SME Content region restriction issue. The Dixie Chicks Vevo channel is half locked for me, and I hate it. I’m sorry for the Dixie Chicks, but I fucking hate their channel.
