TOKYO! – in a City Near You!
Just a few months after some Hawaiian residents had a chance to catch TOKYO at the Hawaii International Film Festival, Liberation Entertainment brings TOKYO! to a city near… or at least nearer you this March. Below the break for more info~~

Short days away from turning 23… O.o
Gosh~~~
*sighs* After that? At least on this blog… Grammy Awards, BAFTAs, Independent Spirits and Oscar! This is the first year I will be watching Independent Spirit Awards on television~~~ thanks to i-SAT who is now part of my cable provider! This is also the first year I get to vote for Indie Spirits~~~ I feel somewhat special… xD just for that.
Also, Coraline opens this week in the US, and next week here in Peru (even though it’s dubbed) – AND +++++ This month brings a new issue (2nd issue, in fact~) of YAM – if you haven’t read our first issue, do so here – this same week (same day as the Coraline opening day, in fact) Guu-Guu Datte Neko de Aru is out on DVD R2 wiht English subs~ My first Juri, first Japanese DVD ever. *excited*
Bad, bad, BAD Amy!! Last music post was… almost two months ago, so I’m way behind on music to list. And my library is really messy… as is my FB Music thingy. Also… I’m broke, can’t buy albums x’D Some very interesting music style mixing listed below~~ like who would listen to Britney and Lang Lang on the same iPod? Or Dolly Parton on the same list as Marilyn Manson~~
I’m also struggling with my 2.0V of my iPod… lots of new additions to it, but zero playing~~ my old iPod had many tracks passing the 30 plays mark. So new iPod data BLOWS. xD
Last year was a particularly good year for me to watch films. Why? Well, compared to the previous year, in which many or most of the films nominated were still on my ‘to-watch’ list, this year I’ve done all my movie watching before Oscar was announced.
Green = WATCHED
Orange = Dying to watch~~
Less than a month to Oscar, 4 films I’m dying to see~~ *cross fingers*
… and talking about tonight’s food. Because it’s still Chinese New Year, and still I haven’t had dinner. xD
You know, I almost never blog personal life in this blog anymore. And I actually reconsidered posting these photos that I’m about to post after the break.
Today was a surprisingly nice~ went to Cieneguilla because cousin wanted to, so we all went. I was listening to Miyavi, while he drove… and I considered watching Chiyo (the first ever short film I’ve bought on iTunes) but turns out the widescreen doesn’t translate to my iPod, so it was pretty cropped. Especially during the introduction, all the text on the borders couldn’t be read.
ANYWAY! We arrived early, and ordered food early because we always starve to death wherever we go~ and luckily we ordered early because the food took forever to get made, and it was ‘ok’ xD – I know I said it was surprisingly nice, and my re-telling doesn’t sound like it…
Happy Chinese New Year – Kong Hee Fatt Choy! by khairilfz
Happy Earth Ox Year!!!
I tend to say I’m an Oxger, well… because people always used to say “1986 – Tiger” so I always thought I was a tiger until the day I was writing a small write-up on it, and went “wha? WAIT! wait a minute… I’m not a tiger?”
And with the couple of years of reading, I always noticed I’ve got both of their traits. So I decided… Amy’s an Oxger xD
Other cool Oxes? Well, Yu’s an Ox – It’s Yu’s year!!
I know not to trust everything I read online, but Ox year is supposed to be good for Oxes (Yay for Yu, Yay for me) – but then again, if the horoscope I read is right… I rather it NOT be. It’s a pretty horrible year for BOTH my parents who are Monkey and Horse. So I’d rather they have a better year, than me having an extraordinary year. I’m happy with the ordinary, if it means better for other people.
Red Carpet on E! began a while ago… and decided to begin this post. Check back here for ceremony and winners live blogging. xD
And I just had to mention… Lisa Edelstein… hot. xD
— Ceremony just begun —
blah, blah… and I’m an actor~~ xD LOL’ Will Arnett ~~ “I’m Will Arnett and I’m an alcoho- am an actor~” xD
Sorry, not much love for television from me~~
Totally forgot about them during the week…
I doubt I’ll be doing the Red Carpet live blogging… but be sure to check outthe website for blogging of the ceremony as winners are announced… Also, check out Inside the Gold for more live blogging of the event.
I am most likely RUBBISH at SAG prediction. Last year, when I did that Marion Cotillard FYC fan-made campaign, it totally slipped my mind and she lost. Anyway, I’ve seen almost ALL films… except for Rachel Getting Married, and Tropic Thunder. LOL’ yes, you can roll your eyes if you want.
Outstanding Male Actor in a Leading Role:
Sean Penn – Milk
Best Surprise:
Richard Jenkins – The Visitor
Outstanding Female Actor in a Leading Role:
Kate Winslet – Revolutionary Road
Best Surprise:
Meryl Streep – Doubt
I’m sorry… I did enjoy her character however bad you may think she was. But I’m iffy here… Anne Hathaway still has a chance, in my opinion~~~ I already explained the BAFTA snub.
Outstanding Male Actor in a Supporting Role:
Heath Ledger – The Dark Knight
Best Surprise:
Philip Seymour Hoffman – Doubt
Sorry, after watching Doubt, I am a big BIG fan of the film in respect of acting.
Outstanding Male Actor in a Supporting Role:
Taraji P. Henson – The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Best Surprise:
Penelope Cruz – Vicky Cristina Barcelona
I probably could’ve chosen the opposite, but the fact that I got it so wrong last year makes me think Henson has the best shot at it here. Penelope speaks a little too much Spanish in this role, that’s why I’m iffy. Otherwise, I would’ve chosen her as my winner. Of course, Winslet could win here and screw me up in the Leading Actress~~ LOL
Outstanding Performance by a Cast:
Milk
Best Surprise:
Doubt
– That’s it~~~ all my film winner predictions. Sorry, don’t do TV, but I’m expecting Tina Fey and 30 Rock to make an appearance in the stage. Quick thoughts?
Aha… to commemorate eh… the first, and tomorrow’s second episode of The L Word.
Sholly! xD
I just liked the letter Molly wrote… Jenny reading it? Not so much. But it was a good letter. Also, 3 captures of Clementine Ford, the part just right after Jenny tells Molly Shane’s fucking Nikki at the Chateau. *rolls eyes*

I do pretty good Oscar prediction nominees, it seems~ 78 of 92 from all categories (minus shorts and docus), and pretty much perfect score on major categories of acting, directing and film~
Surprises? Kate Winslet nominated for The Reader as Best Actress… No Bolt on the Best Song~~~ xD and Slumdog getting a double nod there. Wooo for Richard Jenkins!!
Not so good surprises… Waltz with Bashir snub in the animation category.
And as I predicted Benjamin Button is up for 13 nods (I said 12-14), and Slumdog is up for 10 (I said 9-10) LOL~
Check out the graphic list of nominees, or the print-friendly version that includes “film by awards” and “award # by film”.
