Jean-Sébastien Monzani just uploaded this gorgeous video that makes you think about the things you love… the simple things you love. Hmm… the video is kind of interactive, in a very basic level. xD
I love the sound of dried leaves when you step on them.
I love the smell of newly-printed material (books, magazines, cd booklets) xD
Those are my two fetishes…
The music is MEH~ but the stop-motion music video is pretty cool. A nominee for best Paper music video? xD
‘Tis the trailer season… too many of them, and they will probably keep on being released.
This time around, it’s all about Aoi Miyazaki and trailers for two of her upcoming films. First of the trailer for her — tear-jerking — drama OKAN no Yomeiri, in which her mother (Shinobu Otake), after one wild drinking night, brings a younger man who apparently is ready to marry her… out of the blue – Seriously, this starts out like a comedy… until Miyazaki’s character discovers her mom is *dramatic music* dying.
And the second one is an animated film based on the award-winning novel by Eto Mori, about a spirit who is placed into the body of a teenager who has just committed suicide, so the spirit is able to get a second chance at life. INTERESTING!
Earlier in the year I listened to one of Tsuchiya’s albums… I think it was Nudy Show? Anyway, I really dig her on Kamikaze Girls. I mean, she’s really funny in it. But Sakuran is okay… the album was okay-ish… and the music video included on the Kamikaze Girls dvd was very Alejandra Guzman to me.
I hope she doesn’t end up like Alejandra Guzman.
Anyway, here comes Tsuchiya’s new single – Atashi – after having her second kid… whom she called Simba (SHIMBA) LOL Too much Lion King. xD Lucky for the kid Tsuchiya didn’t decide on Hakuna Matata.
Atashi is an okay song. I’m not too fond on the word “atashi” mainly because it’s used for I/Me for women. I remember one of my Japanese lessons, and my teacher (a guy only one year older than me) told me this, and I went “But WHYYY?” Because that’s how it works. BAWWWW~
There’s a motorbike on the video! LOL
I still feel like this trailer is too loud. I don’t want to say I hate the music, but it’s not the type of music I like to listen to in a movie I thought was quiet. LOL Oh! I know what it is… it’s the placing of that particular song in the overall trailer. Looking just at the images, you get the sense of quiet, and they seem to have kept the scariness of Oskar’s character… even if they made Eli’s character a complete girl now.
I still like both young actors. The Road was quite dreary in a good way.

not tagging this as trailer because Harry Potter trumps this LOL
*EDIT*
Look! It’s s a Ain’t it Cool SPOILERY Review from someone who’s seen a screening.
I’m not a gamer, but I love Studio Ghibli.
I am loving the look of this new PS3 game~ It looks like something wonderful is about to happen, and makes me wanna be part of it xD But I don’t game, so I will only hear people talk about it~
Fluffy Mc Cloud is so cute~~~ ^o^
a bit of mixed media animation is always welcomed~
This gorgeous info graphic — it’s hot pink! — is tied-in with the documentary Waiting for Superman, which talks about the education system (or not-a-system, if you’d like) in the USA.
The animation is done by Jorge R. Canedo Estrada, who studied in the Digital Design program at VFS ;O

Well, this is depressing.
Interesting animation, but so SO depressing xD
In comic strip style!
Ugh, still can’t get used to MUBI.
Anyway~ The guys at the site formerly known as The Auteurs are letting you watch some of the films screening at the Libertas Film Fest in Croatia.
My personal favorite was the animated short Guliver, which sorta reminded me of Tim Burton’s style… but you know, about Guliver, in a much more grim setting.
All I know is that you can only watch it through MUBI with an account, which is FREE. You can join, and watch it. They always have a bunch of free stuff, and free stuff is always good. xD
If you’re still not sure, here’s the trailer~
