  • A post on Film Festivals

    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).

    WHAT??? Geez… I have nothing left to say about this.

    The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has added more titles for this year’s event, including screenings for Alejandro Amenabar’s Agora (with Rachel Weisz), and Natalie Portman’s Love and Other Impossible Pursuits.

    Those are added to the list of Precious, Kore-eda’s Air Doll and Bong Joon-Ho’s Mother, which I mentioned back in this post…

    and finally… I received an email of Sony Pictures announcing Michael Jackson’s “This is It” – the last rehearsals and behind-the-scenes footage on HD and digital sound to be released on October 30th.

    won’t post the “press release” because it’s so long, and to be honest – pretty boring to read.

    Britney Spears - Baby One More Time

    There’s an article, by a dude that talks about this… again. Is it misogynistic? Regular fantasy? Wrong, right? Where do you draw the line? (more…)

  • Kanashii Hanabi – Kobukuro x Yu Aoi CM

    Here it is!

  • Kobukuro + Yu Aoi CM

    For those of you who didn’t know, Kobukuro has just released a brand new album (CALLING), which I’m not necessarily loving… but that’s a tough job to pull considering how awesome ALL SINGLES BEST was as a compilation.

    Anyway…

    SPAZZ! There’s a new article over at Barks.jp with a couple of
    photos of Yu on the CM for the new album…
    also with a new interview.

    VMA Nominees Announced!
    Normally, I would’ve done a different post for this, but I’ve lost my interest on MTV.
    Can’t blame me, can you?

    Womanizer… video of the year? – oh the sadness. Alongside Spears~~~ Eminem with We Made You, Beyonce with Single Ladies, Kanye and Lady Gaga. – REALLY??? I should really make a Look Back on 2008 Videos, I mean… there should be better, MUCH BETTER music videos than those.

    Lady Gaga for the win, even though I didn’t really dig any of it. <- that’s a prediction.
