    What a sad story T.T

  • For Your Consideration: Mary and Max

    Late post! Internet issues! But it gave me the time to watch this awesome kick-ass animated film that apparently was released early in the year, but I have heard nothing about it. So Amy do, as Amy does.

    I am pushing for a nomination, ha! Here’s a brief write-up:

    I just saw the best animated film I’ve seen all year. A stop-motion funny, yet compelling serious drama about the unlikely friendship between one cute, albeit kinda weird, 8-year-old girl in Australia and some 40-something-year-old Jewish/Atheist man living in New York.

    You should all try to check it out, even if it’s online because if it weren’t for the internet, I wouldn’t have EVER heard about it.

    Now I’m pushing for a nomination… AT LEAST a nomination. We all know Pixar’s UP is a lock on it, and will probably win (boooooring), so I’m pushing for Mary and Max this season.

    If it gets a nod (very unlikely, since there’s no marketing or buzz), I will die of happiness~~~ xD

    Check out my FyC graphics here and here.

  • Stockholm Icebar

    icebar

    NOTCOT got a sneak peek at the Absolut Icebar re-design. I was talking about it with my dad this passed weekend — talking about the iced-shots and how they would melt in this weather, so I ended up mentioning the icebars, and then he said how the people would complain is cold. I told him there are coats, and then he said that those must be stinky. HAHAHA.

  • Cotillard and other Pretty Photos by Bruno Dayan

  • Yu Aoi and Kirin CMs

    Multiple Yu Aoi post day!
    ending the month with 85 posts!

    As you know (most people anyway) Yu pimps Kirin beverages. She’s been feature in a full series of Kirin Tea… “Afternoon Black Tea” and other tea-related beverages. One of the commercials that was released this past October was this cute one with the dancing xD

    on Tudou.

    Dancing and smiling Yu to make your day a happy one. xD

    Bunch of other Kirin CMs below the break

    To be honest, I do drink tea all day. Not Kirin, not sold locally. xD

    Playlist is here.

  • Yu Aoi and MVs

    I ran into this video, which is a fan-made video without label that made me think it was almost a real video, if I hadn’t seen the original video from which the Yu Aoi footage comes from. LOL
