For Your Consideration: Mary and Max

November 5, 2009 — 3 Comments

Late post! Internet issues! But it gave me the time to watch this awesome kick-ass animated film that apparently was released early in the year, but I have heard nothing about it. So Amy do, as Amy does.

I am pushing for a nomination, ha! Here’s a brief write-up:

I just saw the best animated film I’ve seen all year. A stop-motion funny, yet compelling serious drama about the unlikely friendship between one cute, albeit kinda weird, 8-year-old girl in Australia and some 40-something-year-old Jewish/Atheist man living in New York.

You should all try to check it out, even if it’s online because if it weren’t for the internet, I wouldn’t have EVER heard about it.

Now I’m pushing for a nomination… AT LEAST a nomination. We all know Pixar’s UP is a lock on it, and will probably win (boooooring), so I’m pushing for Mary and Max this season.

If it gets a nod (very unlikely, since there’s no marketing or buzz), I will die of happiness~~~ xD

Experiment Awards’ 2004

And we continue to go through the years and film~

Some interesting observations on this one? There were a lot of GOOD male performances. I guess it’s by years, but I thought it was so tough to choose my Best Actors this time.

Yu Aoi: Filmography 2001-2009

A regular person would have 8 or 9 films, on this video you’ll get to see clips for 27 films (though a few of those are just blink and miss them, or just a still). I’ve seen most but 6 films, I think. I’m still looking for 1980, and JUKAI.

Plus, this is the best way to choose what Yu film you wanna watch~ xD

UK Music Video Awards 2009 Winners~

I don’t know any of the winners, except for Coldplay’s Strawberry String which won Video of the Year… which is kinda bumming because video doesn’t seem to be released yet, so WTF. I did like some of the videos though… or sometimes just the songs, but I was expecting something else, I think.

Toy Story 3 Trailer~

I was never a huge fan of Toy Story,
mainly because I find Woody and Buzz very annoying…
they have their moments, but overall – not very likable to me.

But this trailer is so sad. xD

It’s so sad when we gotta grow up, and move on.
Think of Christopher Robin and Winnie Pooh!!!
Imaging having to tell someone you care that you
can’t come and see them again because they
must go on living. Aww, saddest.

Ever since I read that ad on the newspaper, I’ve always had feelings against Alpamayo. This is one of the reason why I began my presentation with the following words. “What is animation to you? Is it an easy career path? Are you looking for money? Recognition? Do you want to win awards? Then maybe you’re looking at the wrong career.”

On the topic of my presentation, I wrote an article talking about animation in Peru, though I don’t think I sound like myself. I dunno why I read like a wishy-washy version of my snarky-self. Article is in Spanish, but if you can read… you can read it here.
