  • Stan Winston R.I.P

    Special Effects genius Stan WInston has passed away. Le sigh~~

    He was responsible for such effects as Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, Aliens… and even his latest work on Iron Man.

    Read the full story here.

  • The Incredible Hulk is Here!

    Just returned from watching The Incredible Hulk! Short review is that I enjoyed it a lot… maybe not as much as I did when watching Iron Man, even though I’m a fan of neither of them. LOL First things first, I did like Ang Lee’s version of The Hulk, and I thought Eric Bana was quite endearing on his Green Bana version. But I guess THAT’s not the point of Hulk, is it? (more…)

  • Jessica Simpson – Come On Over

    So… just listening to her new track. Actually, did anyone find her switch to country a surprise? LOL, I actually think that was something that always lingered on her.

    Ok, just to be clear. I like country music, ok? I am probably one of the only ones who will tell people straight on… “hey, I listen to country music and it ain’t as bad as you make it sound.” Some of my favorite songs are country songs… maybe not the fast-driven ones, but I love me some country ballads.

  • How This Blog Works~

    Just a little bit on how this blog works. I haven’t properly blog, about me or my work… other than the occasional rant, you could say this is a very subjective variety blog. The topics are usually varied, but I get fanatical from time to time… mainly because there’s no one to talk with…

  • My Favorite Actor is… WHO?

    All the way back in September, I made a small list of some of my favorite actresses that people didn’t have idea who they were. But I don’t seem to have the same knack for spotting unknown names for male actors… funny, eh? I just realized this when making this list. Since most of the names are probably known, will post them from the ones I think are less known to the most known. And notice? No TV stars that I can recall~ WEIRD.

    *EDIT*
    How could I forget him??? Just added him on the first spot of actors that you probably don’t know.

  • Marlee Mambos, and my Favorite Moments of Ep11

    Hey, guys~ Am watching Ep11 at this moment. I think this might be my last post on Dancing with the Stars, for obvious reasons, non? Well, I do hope you voted for Marlee because 7 votes is a lot. Last Monday’s episode had a few cute and funny moments with Marissa Jaret Winokur, Cristian de la Fuente, and Kristi Yamaguchi.

    Marissa always makes me smile, lol… with comments like she’s “more like a moth,” in response to being like a butterfly for the Viennese Waltz, and her flipping out with her scores. And her saying that she’s only seen 9s in rehearsals, pretending… ha!

    And I enjoy the Latin American and Asians representing… Kristi rocked it with her Jive, and her flipping out was funny too.

    Won’t upload videos this time, but will post captures of favorites:

  • Hitoride Dekirumon (ひとりでできるもん!)

    Hitoride Dekirumon! is another NHK show for children I happen to see on my archived videos. It ran through 1991 to 2006 (quite the long run compared to Occidental children programming). Not entirely sure what the name means, Google Translate shows it as One Possible!, but I’m more inclined to say that (more…)

  • The Dirt on Carly Pope

    I began watching a new old set of tapes (for archiving purposes), and I managed to go through 2 tapes… so that was like 9 hours… in 3 or 4, lol. Anyway, During the viewing, I saw a few clips where Carly Pope was featured, like 25 Hottest Stars Under 25 (by Teen People) which she shared with Brendan Fehr (from Rosswell). Were these two together??? And also, Carly was on 2000’s Nickelodeon’s Kid Choice Awards alongside Leslie Bibb, and some dude from Nickelodeon. Carly had crazy hair back then, lol… and she seemed very catty-friendly with the dude. I thought that was weird because I didn’t remember that at all.

    Anyhoo… I got melancholic about seeing her work on time, because she’s been doing a lot Canadian indie films that I don’t get to see. She made Young People Fucking in 2007, and according to someone on the boards it was gonna be a limited release on April 18 this year, but haven’t heard anything about it. I mean, it took me 3 years to get to watch Eighteen and Everyone… and when I was still in Vancouver I was lucky enough to watch Hamster Cage at the movies (Fifth Avenue Cinema ROCKS) and I even got to see Larry Kent (the director of the film) after the film… how awesome is that? Vancouver was great for Carly Pope viewing because I also got to watch a  rough cut version of Break a Leg Rosie, which was a surprise because I was not expecting to see Carly at all!

    Just a few days ago, I saw a re-run of Dirt on tv, and Carly was there playing Garbo. Hotness. I still have mixed feelings about the show, but being a big Greta Garbo fan… and a big Carly Pope fan, it all makes me giddy to the point of no return~~ And I think it’s fantastic that she’s taking classes, and continuing her studies… and according to her Wikipedia, she IS fluent in French, Italian and Spanish. Though, you never know… it might be the whole same issue there is with how many languages Natalie Portman is fluent in, LOL’

    Anyway, I leave you with a lengthy interview that Curve Magazine did to Carly on 2007, I’m guessing. Great read, WORD.

  • When You Think ‘Child Actor’ – Who Do You Think Of?

    I was watching a re-run of How to Eat Fried Worms, and noticed a couple of known kid faces. Like Hallie Kate Eisenberg (most known as the Pepsi girl… or from the movie Paulie, LOL) – Alexander Gould from Weeds… well, I know him from there anyway. And… Ryan Malgarini who I know from The Hot Chick (he played the little brother, ha!). Anyway, it got me thinking that I couldn’t really think of any boy actor who wows me at the moment. I mean, when you think of child actors nowadays, you can immediately name Abigail Breslin (aka. Little Miss Sunshine)… or Dakota Fanning. In my case, I would also mention Jodelle Ferland of course~~

  • Natalie Is the Most Beautiful Face of 2008

    Behold, us mere people. LOL’

    TcCandler.com has released its list of the 100 most beautiful faces… female faces, just to make that clear. As past lists, the faces, the names, nationalities and everything is varied.

My Marion (Cotillard, for those who don’t know) lands on Numero Quatre, after 7 years and dropping from #3 last year. And making it to the Top5 is Katharine McPhee who’s been on the list for 2 years.

    Favorite names on the list?? Judy Greer, Rachel McAdams, Eva Green, Audrey Tautou, Ellen Page, Paz Vega, Krista Allen, Marley Shelton, Emilia Fox, Julianne Nicholson, Rachel Hurd Wood, Jennifer Connelly, Monica Bellucci, Kate Winslet, and Camilla Belle.
