  • Beyoncé – Why Don’t You Love Me

    I have never enjoyed Beyonce’s music, ever since she began her solo stuff, but then again… a lot of people seem to like her when I read stuff online. I think it’s funny no one I know really likes her music.

    Anyway, apparently… this is new stuff. And Beyonce here looks totally committed to the look. I don’t like the song, but the style of the video is nifty. However, with videos like OK Go’s This Too Shall Pass, and M.I.A’s Born Free – I doubt this particular one has any chance of making it to the list of Best Music Videos this year.

  • Shappi Khorsandi – Live at the Apollo Hamersmith

    Just saw her on an interview with Jonathan Ross, an even though she used some of the same jokes. This clip is worth the watch, if you’ve never seen her. Oh, those whores of Babylon~

  • Movies R Fun by Josh Cooley

    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.

  • Buried Motion Poster

    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.

  • Hægt, Kemur Ljósið by Ólafur Arnalds

    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?

  • Eyjafjallajökull on Time-Lapse

    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~~~

  • Sahara Wonderland by zoomion

    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.

  • Yusuke Iseya joins Ryomaden

    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.”

    via Arama They Didn’t.

    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.

  • Ip Man 2 and Kokuhaku at 2010 NYAFF

    I am all over Ip Man at the moment. So really, there’s no better way to kick of the New York Asian Film Festival than with the American premiere of Ip Man 2, which its pure kick-ass and feeling for martial arts. Sammo Hung will also be there, so that’s pretty kick-ass too.

    But the biggest news is that Tetsuya Nakashima’s latest film Kokuhaku (Confessions), which will open in Japan on June 5th, will be the Centerpiece presentation. According to Subway Cinema News, Kokuhaku has left dumbfounded at the market screening in Cannes. Must be the LSD on Nakashima’s film-making.

    Can’t effing wait for it now.

  • Glee Quote of the Week – S01×19 – Dream On

    Last night was the Whedon episode, featuring Neil Patrick Harris.
    Can I just say I love NPH even more?

    Glee didn’t quite feel like Glee with Whedon directing. Maybe it was because the episode wasn’t really over-the-top like other times, but it wasn’t overly sappy, either. Whedon’s style seems to just flow… or maybe it was the storyline.

    Anyway… did you miss the irony of this one scene?

    Bryan Ryan: Sue, you’re an impressive woman. I can’t tell you how much you turn me on right now. You ever heard of the term “anger sex”.
