Today’s Updates~

August 17, 2009 — 1 Comment

My monitor is screwed up, and I dunno what’s wrong with it.
If it’s either the screen, the connection or the CPU~

Every time I shut down the system, it takes ages for it
to recognize the monitor again… so the screen goes on power save mode.

Also, as you may have noticed… or not~ “Featured” space is changed,
though that’s created its own problems… looks good on my browser,
but how about yours?

I’m attaching a screencap of how it looks on my browser,
so you can see how it’s supposed to look, if it doesn’t look like that~
please screencap, and let me know what browser you are using.

I am cheating on Internet Explorer (compatibility button on)
, because frankly I haven’t used it
in such long time, and you shouldn’t either. LOL

Firefox 3.5.2

Screencap - Firefox

I.E 7

Screencap - Explorer

Geek alert!
LOL

Stop-motion, printers and music~
though, I dunno if it’s a video, a commercial, or something else xD

Loads of fun!

… or “Ueno Juri and the 5 Bags” – whatever your pick on names is~

I think I’ll have to tag this different. O_o

Juri Ueno and the 5 Bags - Title

Anyway~~~ Trailers are out!
Exciting! Funny Juri, Singing Juri!!
Like I’ve said before, I love this WOWOW projects.
Please WOWOW release Itsutsu no Kaban (plus One Million Yen Girl, and Camouflage) with English subs!

You’ll appreciate it… at least mildly. LOL

Promos after the break~

Juri Ueno - Shiseido Cosmetics

Wet hair, that is…
minds of the gutter, s’il vous plait~

You can check all hi-res photos over here.

I’ll fangirl, but I doubt Isabelle Huppert would appreciate that fangirling. In fact, when I fangirl – I don’t gush. I do the opposite. I will not bother you. It’s a very fine line for me from ignoring someone because I don’t really care, to try to ignore someone because I know they don’t want to be disturbed.

Blame my mom for it. LOL

Anyway, I got to see Isabelle Huppert pretty up close.

The whole “people don’t shove your camera onto her face” thing didn’t work out here. Everyone was flashing her(with their cameras, not the other type of flashing… though that’d be hilarious),
but I was at bay.

So here is a photo-chronic LOL

Joan Crawford - Mildred PierceIt’s been announced that Kate Winslet will be in a new adaptation of James M. Cain’s novel Mildred Pierce. This time around a miniseries… possibly involving HBO, directed by the Far from Heaven (Julianne Moore) director Todd Haynes. HBO does pretty good miniseries…

but I dunno how to feel~~~

Before, the novel was adapted into the movie that earned Fab Joan Crawford her Oscar for Best Actress in 1945.

I loved the movie. It came with my Joan Crawford movie collection, and it made me want to slap Veda so so SO bad~~~ I’m fascinated by the way Crawford led her life… she took it all, man. Until the end.

They don’t make them like that any longer. Stars love to bitch now. They want their privacy, but do nothing. They love the attention, but they bitch. That’s how they make them now…

As you may also know… I’m also fascinated by Greta Garbo. Fell in love with the both of them. Garbo gave it all up for her privacy. That’s how you do it… stars now can’t.

Also, my dad loved the movie too. xD
Had so much fun watching it, and wanting to slap Veda around too.

It’s YAM Time #5!

Head over here to download~~~

CBS’s new medical transplant drama (?) Three Rivers~
hmm… dunno, don’t really have much interest on Network TV as of lately,
but any reason to see Katherine Moenning in scrubs~~~
LOL

good on my book… and good on your book too, right?

first, must admit. The character promo shot looks not like her.
blame Photoshop~~~ good thing? the promo episode still, pretty hot.
LOL, almost like Shane cleaned up her act and became a Dr. @_@

Three Rivers - Still

Oh, eBooks!

I think finally someone over at Cnet has caught up with what I’ve been saying
tsk tsk…

the only thing missing is that distributors are probably greedy bastards~
just saying…

I would also buy more digital content (eBooks, etc) if it were tagged at $2USD

Anyway… here are some of my suggestions~

MP3Sale.ru – price-tagged by song duration.
MovieBerry.com – with DVD, DivX HQ, DivX and iPod versions.

any book site suggestion?

A post on Film Festivals

August 14, 2009 — 1 Comment

I normally don’t post much about Film Festivals, mainly because I don’t get to see many of the films during festivals. However, I thought that I should talk about the Toronto International Film Festival, which seems like a big industry thing. I decided to do this mainly because over at theauteurs.com they’ve recently updated their menu bar options with a “festival” section, and the TIFF section (at least for this year’s edition) seems pretty complete with almost 150 film links.

Cannes presence in the site isn’t bad either. Or the San Francisco International Film Festival…

Here goes~

Starting with the Venice Film Festival on September 2nd until September 12th.

TIFF starting on September 10th until September 19th.

and the San Sebastian International Film Festival (Spanish) on September 17th until September 26th.

That’s some pretty heavy Film Festival posting month. Add to that the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) that starts on October 1st until October 16th – but the line-up will be announced on September 12th.

The Lima Film Festival closes tomorrow (Saturday 15th).
