  • Experiment Awards 2009

    Just for experiment purpose ONLY. Picking nominees during award season is a tough job, considering the people in charge have to sit through hundreds of films in a certain period of time to just pick them… then they probably have to see them once again to refresh their memories and pick a winner.

    Even like that, there’s still people upset about not nominated and nominated films… right? You know who you are~~ Stop complaining and do something.

    Amy's Experiment Awards 2009

    That’s why I wanted to do some experimenting… have our own awards. Well, no~ we don’t have the money to have famous people… or to have a proper ceremony, or to make our own awards to hand out physically. Actually, we have nothing but our will to watch films, comment and try to get others to watch those films, but that will be enough~~ I think.

    These would be the rules for films:

    1. All films, regardless of language, are eligible
    2. Only movies listed on IMDb on the year of the award, or released between February January to December in any city of any country around the world are eligible.
    3. Films with a very limited release, and/or problems with distribution will likely have points for them and might be eligible for the next two years.
    4. Since all the nominated films could be foreign, there will be no “Best Foreign Film” award.
    5. Sorry. No documentaries or shorts at the moment.

    Rules for the voters:

    1. To be able to nominate the films you watch throughout February to December, you must AT LEAST watch one movie a week. That means at least 48 movies that year. Of course you can watch all 48 films in December instead, but that’d be rushing it, no?
    2. Each voter must do their nomination (5 nominees per category) list by the first week of January (January 7th, duh).
    3. Official nominations will be announced three days later on January 10th.
    4. Voters will be able to choose their winners from January 11th to January 28th, allowing them to re-watch their nominations and/or watch the nominated films they couldn’t watch before.
    5. Winners will be announced by the end of the month on January 31st.

    Hmm… I think I covered most of all. If I have forgotten to deal with something, let me know on a comment or an e-mail. Also, if you’re interested in becoming a voter, make sure you do the same… e-mail, comment… anything. The more, the better the experiment will run, right?

  • My Debut Album

    LOL’ – Before this post, a quick reminder! 2hrs. left for Indie Spirits! – Will be blogging~~

    Okay, moving on…

    To Do This

    1. Go to “wikipedia.” Hit “random”
    The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

    2. Go to “Random quotations”
    The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

    3. Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
    Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

    4. Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.

    5. Post it to FB with this text in the “caption” and TAG the friends you want to join in.
    (You can untag yourself if you don’t want this photo up).

    Here’s my result!

  • My Reasons Why the 90’s Ruled or Not – Part VI

    Been a long time since the last ‘why the 90s ruled’ [click to get the other posts] – almost a whole year, in fact. The other day, actually whenever I ended up talking about TV and growing up, I ended up talking about the different in thematics on shows for teenagers. We always end up asking if TV’s changed because teens have changed, or if teens have changed because TV has. Which is really the cause, and which the consequence?

  • Jodelle Ferland’s Wallpapers

    I felt inspired, I had these in my computer for a while and finally decided to do something with them. I also recently found out that Jodelle-Ferland.net (thank you for the photos) had a link to Jodelle’s ‘official’ blog… which happens to be a wordpress blog. Major cool points for that, ‘coz she could’ve gotten one for Blogger, or *le gasp* LiveJournal? LOL’

    Two 1680×1050 wallpapers after the break.

  • Meet Joe Black

    I got a little help for the “Best Kisses” list which I haven’t worked on in… a year? They reminded me of Meet Joe Black. I remember the day I saw Meet Joe Black – I was in high school, and had gotten terribly sick, so I rented a couple of films. I always thought I had fallen asleep in the middle of the film due to my illness, years later I found out that I always dozed off in the same part~~ LOL However, it IS an interesting film…

    Anyway, Meet Joe Black is the HOTTEST I’ve seen Brad Pitt, plus the peanut butter scene… peanut butter will never be the same after this film. But the peanut butter has nothing to do with this Best Kiss.

    Brad Pitt and Claire Forlani kiss… what? Twice? But that scene… that LONG scene of them just sort of hovering around each other, then giving a little kiss, and Forlani taking his shirt off to ‘make love’ to Death. And Death is a virgin… and there’s dramatic music~~ and nice bright light.

    Thanks to BradFans.Net for the captures. Some simple graphics after the break…

  • Welcome 2009!

    First post of the year!! How sad is this? 3am, and me is blogging. I’m actually sleepy… full of food and sleepy, so I think I did okay.

    Welcome 2009 - Fireworks by Me

    Yay! Those are fireworks at Amy’s family gathering. Sadly, it’s probably the last of the fireworks in here as they’re moving the gas tanks around. So… just like John Hammond in Jurassic Park, my uncle didn’t spare no expenses~~~ xD

    Took a few shots of that with the tripod, which I almost never use… so I had fun crouching and being all uncomfortable with it to get some photos. I was also starving, coz we didn’t eat until 11pm or so which is uber late… considering we used to eat at 8pm on previous years. LOL’ But we had yummy food, and loads of leftovers which I will probably be eating during the course of lunch, dinner, lunch hahaha.

    Anyway… if you wanna check out some of the photos -> lookie here.

  • It’s Xmas, and I’m already late~~
