  • Yu Aoi Short Takes~

    I know, I know… I’m being lazy.

    By the way, by the time of posting this, I’m probably away taking photos at a concert. This is a scheduled post because I wanted Maggie Cheung as the first post for a little longer… xD

    I usually post one thing per post, but there’s too much Yu to post –
    all via aoinohoho’s Yu-dedicated JP blog.
    dozou~~~

    First!

    Rumors that NHK’s future 2011 (I know, I know… so far ahead) Taiga drama (a la Yoshitsune, Atsuhime) would be centered around three sisters… The Three Asai Sisters (?). They throw in some names like Masami Nagasawa and Aya Ueto, but seem positively (?) more thrilled to throw in Yu’s name xD – though you know, it IS a Google Translate.

    Me on the other hand… I loved Atsuhime… a strong female who moved the pieces in this game of life. That may have had to do with the high ratings the show got alongside the writing, and production values. So the prospect of Yu on a Taiga drama thrills me. For one thing, I will be able to watch her once a week on my TV for a year. LOL – but then, that will mean a decrease on films… *eek!*

    Second!

    Apparently (this is old old news), FRaU Magazine had a list Yu’s 10 Best Films~
    Some interesting choices there!

    3 films in English made it to her list…

    • White Oleander (2002)
    • 2:37 (2006) [starring fellow Teresa Palmer of December Boys, Daniel Radcliffe fame]
    • Almost Famous (2000)

    A very international one… actually, a two-part film project titled Ten Minutes Older, divided into The Trumpet and The Cello. (2002)

    And the rest are Asian… though I’ve only heard of Sway (with fellow Joe Odagiri), which I wanna watch.

    and third!

    aoinohoho uploaded this 9min video of… Yu talking about a book? Book reading?

    Oh yeah, and did I mention my mom loves Yu? She told me that tonight… again. LOL

  • Emmy Noms 2009

    Always the ubber long nomination lists… – I’m not much of an Emmy knower, but it’s always good to keep track. Plus, Neil Patrick Harris is hosting x) – I’ll watch it if only for him, maybe he’ll throw in a Dr. Horrible joke. LOL

    Apparently, Tina Fey’s got 22 nods!!! – though I haven’t counted yet…
    there are really too many categories… xD

    Hell Yeahz! for Dexter’s Michael C. Hall (!!), Hugh Laurie for House – I’m sorry but I would love to be an ass such as him, if only I were that talented. LOL – And OMG! Jim Parsons!!!! I don’t watch The Big Bang Theory, but I love Sheldon!!! Ha! – and I see some conflict of interest here… but Neil Patrick Harris for Best Supporting Comedy! xD

    And OMG! Supporting Comedy Actress! Kristin Chenoweth for Pushing Daisies (!!!!!), Amy Poehler, Kristin Wiig, Jane Krakowski, Weeds’ Elizabeth Perkins, and Vanessa Williams. Interesting category.

    Pushing Daisies also got 4 other nods! (for makeup, hairstyle, costume and art direction) !!! (t=5)

    Weeds got 3 other nods! (for casting, cinematography, and sound mixing) (t=6)

    And Stewie must be over the moon with Family Guy getting a Best Comedy – talk about a comeback after being cancelled.

  • Difficulties with Shirley Holmes Downloads?

    A few days ago I was over the moon with Shirley Holmes downloads~

    I was only really worrying about the 4th season, which I didn’t really get to see. In fact, I only saw 2 or 3 episodes… I saw 2 more episodes on YouTube… In the end, it’s 9 or 10 of the 13eps. However, it’s been really hard to download the episodes from the SHC (particularly S4x02), so… very unlike me. I’ve decided to upload the episodes I was able to snatch and upload them on MegaUpload to help out.

  • Nifty MTV Stuff by Universal Everything~

    Gods knows when was the last time I tuned in MTV. I do remember watching a good 15min of VH1 on Sunday afternoon, but I really can’t remember when was the last time I saw anything on MTV. Actually, I can’t be bothered to check my tv at the moment… so I’m beginning to wonder if these changes can be seen on MTV Latin America~~~

    ANYWAY!

    Nifty stuffs by Universal Everything! Love it~~~
    You can check the interview with Motionographer!

    Natalie Portman was cast for the newest Marvel adaptation of Thor directed by Kenneth Branagh – say what? – Adding more to the coming Portman year on our way…

    Then… Neil Patrick Harris confirmed as the Emmy Awards host!!! – Are you ready for it? Coz I’m pushing for a Toni nomination… AT LEAST~~~ and NPH is ze bestz! xD

    And I’m sorry, but I love Lainey… and I love when she is fancrazy for HP (among other stuff) – Emma Watson is the shitz. LOL – hilarious.

    Also… I went for japanese food today ^^ – it was good. And I ended up buying a beanie/scarf or whatever you call those that you can use as scarf, as well as beanies. LOL

  • Shirley Holmes Downloads!

    To quote a Canadian filmmaker…

    In typical Canadian fashion, [insert name of movie] doesn’t have a dvd distributor yet.

    That was said 3 or 4 years ago… there still isn’t a DVD.

    So in typical Canadian fashion… nearly 10 years after The Adventures of Shirley Holmes aired its last episode, after so many other shows have been released on DVD – there still isn’t a proper DVD release for the series.

    What the fans have to go through? Well, some “savvy” people managed to digitally record the re-runs, and encode them to DVD format, but instead of sharing them, they decided to make some profit. Even if it’s small. Some other fans, get scammed… thinking they’re getting the real deal, to only find out that the episodes have been TV recorded – which I have to admit it’s just a bit silly to believe. – Some other fans just move on… some others end up on YouTube scavenging for clips and episodes… regardless of capture quality, and very appreciated.

    Well, waiting is over… of sorts~ the Shirley Holmes Central is working on digital downloads.

    Shirley Holmes Downloads

    It really should have been an elementary exercise. TV shows on demand, new episodes of current tv shows available for streaming immediately after, and sometimes days and weeks before broadcast. This is the media world we now live in, and one in which there is much to admire.

    So why has it taken so long to get episodes of Shirley Holmes online, in a streamable, and / or downloadable format ?

    There are a few reasons, not least the relative obscurity of repeat airings, and the lack of any official DVD releases, even now, nearly a decade after the show wrapped in 2000. And then of course there was season 4, a somewhat mythical 13 episodes for many fans, because worldwide screening was very limited, with only the home Canadian market, and a few select international markets, including Australia and South America, seeing those episodes broadcast.

    So while Forefront, Credo Entertainment (does it still exist?), and Chorus Entertainment… and YTV? Lose some money – seriously… if they decided to make Free Region DVDs, they could sell these in South America, the UK and Germany already.
