When I heard the song, I thought it was good… but with the video — Man, I dunno if it’s because it’s chilly today, but it totally gave me the shivers. Even if NeoMinem looks a little too much like CGI.
I dunno what Eminem did to his face, but there’s a little quiver when he’s in that brick room rapping.
Hmm… could this be Best Old School music video?
I really like the high contrast on this one though.
Reading the comments of Bibi’s new single Canned Fish, I learned of this Nuit Blanche controversy.
You see… the video is about 4 months old, so I doubt it’s a tribute of sorts. Having said that, I think the music in Bibi’s video works different in that it creates a lot of “tension” between female Bibi and “male” Bibi — if you get my drift. The original, seen above, has better execution though, even without the tension between the guy and the woman, you feel like it’s a beautiful piece… a timeless classic.
See, same concept, different execution.
Here’s the YouTube version if you don’t have a Vimeo account and want to add it to a list.
that is fascinating.
For one thing, Chris Lee doesn’t have the best voice, she doesn’t have the best dancing, or the best lyrics in her album. However, she writes her own music and lyrics — she seemed to have done so in her self-titled album — , she dances, she even directs her own music videos [one of them Youth of China], and has begun her acting career — in the awarded Hong Kong production of Bodyguards and Assassins, for which she was named Best Newcomer of the Year by the Hong Kong Directors Guild. To top it all off, she’s tall — at least, taller than her Asian counterparts — has an amazing face, and stands out from a crowd by being Chris Lee in a room full of other women.
Multiple-talent threats are often easy to hate because they think they do it all, but in reality they don’t really excel at anything. A few singers who think they can act come to mind, or actors that think they can sing. And even though, Chris may not really excel in any, she’s so difficult to hate because she doesn’t have that superiority air that plagues self-professed artistes. Every time she’s on stage performing or receiving some award, she stands there with an air of a person that’s cool, but also with hints of humility.
I think it’s time for a “time-lapse” tag, don’t you?
I think it’s amazing how some shots look like a scale model.
=D

I am pretty sure I’ve seen their work before, but couldn’t find it on the site, so posting~

It’s ping pong stuff!
Exclusive for Conran Shop (?) by Puma, and designed by Aruliden, the Chalk Ping Pong Table is actually a blackboard in the shape of a table! So you can doodle on it, of course… it’s for keeping scores, but you can doodle on it. And it’s designed in a way that you can put your ping pong gear in the table.

Ok, I don’t think Interscope or Gaga knows the meaning of “Clean Version” LOL, but oh well. I’m posting the “Explicit” version, which is not very “Explicit,” just a couple of Mother F Words, and some very brief nudity.
I thought this could give some competition to MIA’s Born Free for Most Talked About, or Best Long Form of Music Video, but it didn’t have the same impact. It does have a better balance of Music and Video, though.
In the case you don’t wanna see the Explicit Version, or you can’t see it because you don’t have a YouTube account, or you’re underage. Here’s the Clean Version link.
Things to point out? Gaga did a Smooth Criminal move right when getting out of jail, right? And Kill Bill’s Pussy Wagon makes a big appearance, right? xD
Also, licking the bar of your cell? Kinda gross.
Also gross? Smelling Gaga’s cigarette glasses…
I don’t know if you know my thoughts on Gaga? [just added a lady gaga tag here], but I don’t think she’s the best. She’s interesting in today’s music scene, and her live performances are events. Her music is so-so, her dance is so-so, but it’s all about the whole package, right? She freaks me out in a way I can respect her. Having said that, I would love to photograph her concert.
Forget the Film, Watch the Titles just posted the opening titles for Splice, that film by Vicenzo Natali with Adrien Brody and Sarah Poley… which I am dying to see.
While watching the titles [you can WATCH IT HERE], was anyone else reminded of Ang Lee’s Hulk? You know the whole genetic experimentation business… and it’s green. LOL I am one of the few people that actually liked that movie, aren’t I?
I have a slight suspicion that this will get a Best Visual Effects nomination this year, definitely a candidate. It looks fresher than Iron Man 2, you know since it’s not a sequel. Like I said, dying to see.
Trivia bit?
This issue came out on March 2010. Yu also appears on the Anan covers for March 2009 and March 2008. And she’s got at least 5 Anan covers in total, though I dunno their dates.
How I noticed? I name my photoshoot files with name of magazine and date of publication, and if possible… photographer, though that usually happens with publications in English.
