Animation Story Artist Josh Cooley (from Pixar’s Ratatouille and Up fame) is releasing a book in a very stylish a la Pixar concept art about grown up films. Perhaps the kiddies will just not get the movie references on this one.

I saw this over at LivingCinema a few days ago, but because it kept playing over and over again, and it got really annoying, I decided not to post. But! Trailer Addicts has one on their embeddable players~

I can’t stand Ryan Reynolds because he’s so blah on screen, but the campaign is pretty good even if it does remind me of that CSI episode directed by Tarantino, in which Nick gets buried.
Another video by Olafur Arnalds directed by Argentinean motion graphic designer Esteban Diacono, who also happened to direct Light last year.
Hægt, Kemur Ljósið = Slowly, Comes the Light
Beautiful story, and visuals… though I wished the bird moved more gracefully.
Coz… it does move a little stiff, right?
So the Icelandic unpronounceable volcano, except for Icelanders and maybe Nordics… was all over the news for a while, but never did it look this AWESOME. With time-lapse, of course ;P
News channels should really hire people like this. But then again, it isn’t how pretty it is, but how fast you get it out, right? Hence no time for much post-productions? Still, I take this over their images~~~
Yay for more time-lapse videos!
and this one is stunning.
Of course, best viewed on HD~ and if you like it a lot, you can download it through the Vimeo page.
So… casting over at the current NHK Taiga drama gets even more interesting with the announcement that Yusuke Iseya will be playing Takasugi Shinsaku, samurai friend of Ryomaden.
His first appearance will be in the episode scheduled to air on July 18th. It starts from the scene where Ryoma meets Shinsaku and other Choshu samaurai by chance at a restaurant in Nagasaki.
Suzuki Kei, the chief producer, explained: “Ryoma and Shinsaku both died young, had an unconventional fashion sense, dreamed of activity overseas, there were a lot of common features between them. We’ll be depicting them as ‘having the same soul,’ the friendship and intermingling of two people as soulmates.”

Bolding mine.
I gotta be honest with you, I haven’t kept up with Ryomaden, mainly because it just gets a really difficult time-slot here. It airs like at 6am, and then it re-airs at 1pm… Maybe NHK should really think about differing their transmission. But then I would be complaining about that too, right?
Six Degrees of separation! Well, not really… Yu Aoi — anyone knows when her character will show up? — played opposite Yusuke Iseya on Honey & Clover. Their names also appeared together on Tekkonkinkreet… and Tekkon is much cooler than HachiKURO xD
I just wanted to post this photo.
Julz reporting with these hot photos of TOP.
and I had a vision of him with my favorite Mori Girl.
Okay, I wish she looked less like a little gnome,
and hotter in par with TOP here, but oh well~

Seriously, K-Pop fans… you’d look a whole lot less creepy if you decided to post photography credits. They were right there on the Vogue website! I hope I romanized the photographer’s name correctly.
This is a scary video, LOL
I still believe I won’t buy a product that finds me, though.
I will buy something because I have to or need it.
This is the reason I enter stores, walk straight to what I’m looking for,
buy it, and leave.
Okay, I took a WHOLE lot more time on getting names for this list, because apparently I am not knowledgeable enough in female actresses and well singers from Asia as I first though…
AfterEllen.com also made their annual list of Hot 100 2010 [as well as Top Women of Color, Top Out Women, Top Women over 40], only they made it backwards, so I’m linking you to their last page, and you’re going to have to work your way backwards… Ovbiously, I thought AfterElton worked better because I took the time to look through it more than once to make sure I wasn’t missing anyone.
Tips for a better list for AfterEllen:
- Start from #100
- Point out with arrows who’s going up or down in positions, and who’s a new entry.
And really? No Asians on your list?
Not that I don’t appreciate the likes of Alicia Keys, Jennifer Beals, Cate Blanchett, Julianne Moore, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, the girls from Glee (Cheerios plus Rachel, woah that’s bizarre xD), Meryl (who doesn’t need a last name), Rachel Weisz, Amanda Seyfried (even though the things that are coming out of her mouth lately), Christina Hendricks, Tina Fey, Penelope Cruz, Jodie Foster, Rachel McAdams, the whole cast of The L Word… right? Pink, Emily Blunt, Kate Winslet, Ellen Page, all whom often make appearances on this blog. And to top it with Olivia Wilde…
but then again… no Asians?
So me, barely scraping made a list of Top East-Asians that you might want to consider for future editions of your Hot 100. I would also offer a weekly/monthly (a la my AfterElton offer), but I don’t think I’m as knowledgeable in this area. I could try pimping Asian talents on a monthly basis if you want xD
Okay… once again, in no particular order.
Dear AfterElton,
I love that Taye Diggs topped your list of Top10 Men of Color, and that you also included Ricky Martin. Though, I still wonder… really? Eddie Cibrian? Anyway…
I like that you tried to include 1/5 of Asians… but there’s too much Asian hotness in the world to only count Daniel Dae Kim (from Lost), and John Cho… it just makes it seem like you know two Asians in the west.
So here is a list of Asian male that I’m pimping so you could check out for future editions. I would be more than happy (and I’m sure my friend Julz would also be happy) to contribute weekly or monthly posts of Asian hotties on AfterElton.
So… in no particular order…
