  • Posters by Felipe Cortazar

    Yo! It’s pimping time!
    From my comments over at Cinencuentro,
    I was forwarded to this blog: DISEÑO PERU
    obviously, it’s in Spanish, but it’s got great posts.

    From there, a cool post on posters designed by Felipe Cortazar, who’s known for his work as a poster designer for theater releases such as the ones I’m about to show you ;P

  • Love Lego Stuff

    Can you imagine a house built entirely out of Lego?
    you don’t need to imagine any longer~~~

    Lego House by James May

    and here is more nifty Lego stuff~
    Vermeer’s Girl with the Pearl Earring,
    DaVinci’s The Last Supper, and dear Mona Lisa
    Warhol’s Marilyn, and also… there’s American Gothic~

    There’s more here.


  • Into the Clouds by The Sound of Arrows

    This makes me think of the 80’s, anyone else?
    Like hyper-reality with  The Neveredning Story~~~

    And check out the single M.A.G.I.C

  • To Watch Until They’re 30 – Juri Ueno

    I decided to add Juri Ueno once and for all, well because Julz already spoiled my fun. LOL And just to make you look, I won’t tell you where I’ve placed Juri, you’ll have to check the list.

    Just as Yu, Juri isn’t very known by your average person, unless you’re into jdramas and Japanese films – but once again, you so totally be watching her in whatever medium you can, or else~~~

    Juri Ueno

    Now, don’t get me wrong. You might be thinking she’s rude, but that’s only for this photoshoot. In fact, Juri Ueno is a ball of energy waiting to burst open. Quirky and off-beat, she’s mentioned that she’s grown up watching variety shows, and that she’s happy that there are roles for people like her, who don’t feel beautiful or “adorned”.

    People like her? You mean, people with tons of personality and a lot of randomness?
    Then, yes, please. We need more of you.

    Even though Juri’s movie career has been a little on the erratic side of things – from the smallest of roles on Jozee, the Tiger and the Fish, to the awesomely funny Swing Girls, to the sort of bland Naoko, and the quirky GuGu the Cat – you just know that Juri has it. You only need to watch her interpretation of oddball pianist prodigy Noda Megumi on Nodame Cantabile and overlay it with her work as a motocross rider with identity issues on Last Friends. There is no broader acting range than that.

    In interviews, she’s expressed a lot of interest in continuing working as an actor which will undoubtedly bring a string of new films (and dramas) that will keep us watching. Please, Juri! Keep on working! ^-^

    wanna read more Juri Ueno?


  • Ooh la~ Actor Spotting: Chris Colfer

    Chris Colfer

    Certainly, Chris Colfer is something. He’s so adorkable!!! He’s so great as Kurt on Glee, I just want to squish his face xD – He hasn’t done much else except from this project with Ryan Murphy, but it’s a great start.

    There’s nothing much left to say so… just watch Glee. xD

    Last episode, 1×04 (Preggers) was so great because of him.
    I just wanted to hug him forever x’D, you will too~~~


  • To Watch Until They’re 30 – Yu Aoi

    I want to get over with this issue. If you visit the site, you already knew that I was going to add Yu Aoi to my list of Actors to Watch Until They’re 30, right? The issue here was which position I would place her… well, you’d be surprised to know that I didn’t place her on my #1, but she’s closed to it. She’s in fact #2 on my list based on the fact that not many people know about her outside the J-film watchers… but you (non Japanese film watcher) totally should.

    Yu Aoi - Dandelion

  • Heads up!

    The post I wrote for Cinencuentro was published today, talking about the recent Peruvian film posters, it’s in Spanish but I’m thinking of translating… after all, I think I’m snarkier in English.

    Give it a go, would you?

    Google Translate.


  • To Watch Until They’re 30 – Sandrine Pinna

    I was struggling on who to pick as my #10 Actress, but I finally saw Miao Miao, so I thought to give the spot to Sandrine Pinna (or Chang Yung Yung). It’s an interesting choice for me because I’ve only ever seen her on this one film, but I’ll trust my gut instinct on this one… after all, I couldn’t really resist her charm on the first 10min of the film.

    Sandrine Pinna - Chang Yung Yung

    *EDIT* I had to change the other image because
    it turned out NOT being Pinna. LOL Forgive.

  • Best of Emmys 2009 – Dr. Horrible Takes Over

  • SIRE Water Buffalo Horn Glasses

    I’m all over these! I’m telling you xD

    SIRE Glasses

    Take it away, electro plankton~

    … each frame is made of 7 thin layers of water buffalo horn exquisitely hand crafted and polished. The horn fibers run in opposite directions for strength and flexibility. No idea how much they cost but there are 3 standard frames and 3 corrective versions.

    On an off-topic matter.
    I haven’t decided whether to Live blog the Emmys tonight.
    We’ll have to wait and see…
