  • New Studio Ghibli Film: Taketori Monogatari

    !!!

    Studi Ghibli

    Just browsed through NHK, and Miyazaki Hayao was there, so I went online to look it up of course. I needed to know why he was gracing my TV screen~~~ xD

    Director Isao Takahata, who co-founded Studio Ghibli with Hayao Miyazaki, has revealed that he will be directing his first feature-length flick since 1999’s My Neighbors the Yamadas. Takahata, who also wrote and directed the tear-jerker Grave of the Fireflies, will be taking on the classic folktale The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, or Taketori Monogatari.

    via Cinematical.

    Grave of the Fireflies is my all time FAVEEEEEE animated film. You will only not cry and feel sad watching this, ONLY ONLY if you’re not human. LOL

    Also! There’s more!!! Miyazaki will be working on two new animated films!!!

  • Dominoes for WWF by Wyld Stallyons

    Last post of the month! #75!!! xD

    Dominoes - wwf

    Animated for the WWF (the wildlife… wrestling is no more for a long time now) by Wyld Stallyons. I always have a thing for things dealing with domino. Like in V for Vendetta. xD I can’t help myself.

    Check it out~

    And is that Tempus Sans? I used to use that in school too. xD

  • To Watch Until They’re 30 – Inés Efron

    Yo, to mix things up a little bit, I’ve decided to add some little spice.

    Ines Efron by Axel Chaulet

    Placing #9, there’s Ines Efron. Born in 1985 in Argentina – shot to fame when she played Alex on XXY, as a 15-year-old kid struggling with the issues of being intersexual. The movie was good, but her choice of role is what sets her apart from among her Latin American peers.

    She’s steadily worked on films like Empty Nest, and was recently seen on The Fish Child, in which she takes part of a tragic love story between two girls of different social backgrounds.

    As far as idols go, I don’t believe idols work in Latin America. Efron (no relation to Zac whatsoever xD) seems to be a serious actress, and the way she’s carried herself in different interviews seem to point toward that direction. Moreover, if she keeps up with her decision-making regarding her roles, we should only expect interesting stuff coming our way.

  • Multilanguage Winnie the Pooh~

    Continuing with the Multilanguage dubbing~~~
    Something reminded me of Winnie the Pooh,
    and I ended up finding a bunch of clips in different languages.

    My big cousin was a Winnie the Pooh fan.
    I bet he still has his teddy. xD
    Don’t you, Bruce?

    Continuing with the warm-up!
    Woohoo!! Movie count is up to 41!!
    Only 7 more to go~~~ xD

    First, some observations. I noticed that I’ve only listed about 70 films (counting with some really REALLY bad ones there), and I had to cut to half of those… the results are kind of very American. You agree?

  • Komomoto – Peruvian/Japanese Fusion in Barcelona

    If we’re talking Fusion food (which I usually love), you can’t get more
    than a Japanese-named Peruvian/Japanese restaurant place in Barcelona,
    Right? xD that’s a lot of places into one.

    I dunno what it’s like, but the typographic use is pretty cool no?
