  • Amy’s Experiment Awards *Update 1*

    Here’s the main post.

    If you’re too lazy to read that, I said to be eligible to vote you’d have to at least watch 48 films a year. We are halfway May… almost halfway through 2009, and… according to IMDb’s, I’ve got only 14 films listed as 2009. And one of them is a straight-to-video and the other is a short film hahaha. So that leaves me with freaking 12 films in 2009!!! 12 films in half a year, WTF!!! At that rate *I* won’t even be legible for voting on my own awards hahahaha.

    Anyway, besides from those films… I have 9 other films that I want to see, and have already (seems like) been released somewhere in the world. Starting with… Precious (aka, Push), The Soloist, Los Abrazos Rotos, Blood: The Last Vampire, Coco avant Chanel, Up, The Young Victoria, New York I Love You… and the soon to be Terminator Salvation.

    That makes it… 21. Will I make it?

    If you wanna know how well you’re doing, head over to IMDb’s Power Search,

    1. select the 2009 films,
    2. exclude tv series, tv movies, direct to video and episodes…
    3. with a minimun of 50 votes (well distribute films usually have over that number of votes),
    4. sort results based on my vote rating (if you have an IMDb account)
    5. search!

    Other interesting films not-yet-released here.

  • My First Japanese Post

    Yu Aoi - Knitted BeanieLOL

    日本語で最初のポスト！

    「トラベルサンド」はすばらしいです。
    これは私のお気に入りの優ちゃんの本。
    の写真は奇麗が思う。
    ヨーコ-さんはかっこいいです。蒼井優も。

    このビーニーが大好きだから。
    みんな。。。このブランドは何ですか？
    知らないよ。。。
    君は知っていますか？

    ごめんね！これは全て私は書くことができます。

    日本語は難しいですね！

    Well~~~ that was tough.
    Wanna know what it says?? I sure hope I did this right~~

    Of course I thought what I wanted to say first,
    so I hope the Japanese I tried to use did the job I intended…

  • One day like today five years ago…

    I bought my own server and domain, and opened by first ‘proper’ blog. sighs~

    And damn it! I lost that domain because the stupid company I was using, didn’t automatically renewed my account, and they never sent me an email notification. Dumbasses!!!

    So I spent 1 month without knowing why my domain wasn’t working, and when they finally confirmed my thoughts it was too late~~~ someone had taken my domain and was trying to sell it to me at a higher price. Assholes!

    April 18th is siutou-amy.com remembrance day~~~ LOL

    siutou-amy.com website - April 18th 2004

    Emo-est website ever? True. But that site had pretty nifty content like faux-interviews~~~ I should do those again! LOL’ Had some phunny lists like “You know you’re Peruvian when…” or “I hate it when…” – there was music, a lot of fanart icons and wallpapers, and my favorite of all~~ there was a movie faux-database. It was actually all .html and nothing fancy, but I did take the time back then to write as many reviews as films I got to watch each week. Sometimes once or twice a week, sometimes I wrote more than four reviews~~

    Now I watch and listen to too much stuff to write individually… sighs.

    too the long-gone siutou-amy.com!!! *raises glass* Cheers!

  • For Your Consideration: Toni Collette

    Okay, last time Marcia totally blew up in my face – but that’s hardly my fault, right? But nothing to lose on supporting Toni Collette now…

    Toni Collette - For Your Consideration

    No one could play 4 characters like Toni does. xD From crazy obnoxious T, to proper but scary Stepford wife Alice, to weeny-less Vietnam vet Buck – LOL, I love Buck. Oh, and don’t forget ‘it’. Toni can play “it” too.

    It’s early for award season, yada yada yada~~ I know, but these turned out pretty nice, no? Free to post out and about if you are a fan of the show, or Toni, and feel she should be Best Actress next. Here’s the complete set~~ INCLUDING, one more of Tara and the alters group, one of T, one of Alice, and one Buck. Oh, how I wish there was a picture of Gimme or whatever ‘its’ name is spelled.

  • More Modelling Me

    Of course that’s rotation. LOL’ The story is that remote, I need. You have no idea how many photos were of me touching the floor or about to jump because I couldn’t calculate when I should jump.

    Comments are welcomed here. I’ve got another one that turned out very Kpop, but that one I’m ashamed to show it off online… or with people that I don’t know. Hahahaha.

  • Me in Red~ Jumping, and Bumping my Knee

    LOL’

    Yes, I hurt my knee doing this, but still~~ was kinda fun. What you think?

    I also need to get a remote control for my Nikon D70s, anyone has any good suggestion as to what I should get? It’s hard figuring out when the timer will go off, jump and get a good shot… also, going back and forth from camera to spot to jump – so NOT FUN.

    Comment me here, xD

  • Experiment Awards 2009

    Just for experiment purpose ONLY. Picking nominees during award season is a tough job, considering the people in charge have to sit through hundreds of films in a certain period of time to just pick them… then they probably have to see them once again to refresh their memories and pick a winner.

    Even like that, there’s still people upset about not nominated and nominated films… right? You know who you are~~ Stop complaining and do something.

    Amy's Experiment Awards 2009

    That’s why I wanted to do some experimenting… have our own awards. Well, no~ we don’t have the money to have famous people… or to have a proper ceremony, or to make our own awards to hand out physically. Actually, we have nothing but our will to watch films, comment and try to get others to watch those films, but that will be enough~~ I think.

    These would be the rules for films:

    1. All films, regardless of language, are eligible
    2. Only movies listed on IMDb on the year of the award, or released between February January to December in any city of any country around the world are eligible.
    3. Films with a very limited release, and/or problems with distribution will likely have points for them and might be eligible for the next two years.
    4. Since all the nominated films could be foreign, there will be no “Best Foreign Film” award.
    5. Sorry. No documentaries or shorts at the moment.

    Rules for the voters:

    1. To be able to nominate the films you watch throughout February to December, you must AT LEAST watch one movie a week. That means at least 48 movies that year. Of course you can watch all 48 films in December instead, but that’d be rushing it, no?
    2. Each voter must do their nomination (5 nominees per category) list by the first week of January (January 7th, duh).
    3. Official nominations will be announced three days later on January 10th.
    4. Voters will be able to choose their winners from January 11th to January 28th, allowing them to re-watch their nominations and/or watch the nominated films they couldn’t watch before.
    5. Winners will be announced by the end of the month on January 31st.

    Hmm… I think I covered most of all. If I have forgotten to deal with something, let me know on a comment or an e-mail. Also, if you’re interested in becoming a voter, make sure you do the same… e-mail, comment… anything. The more, the better the experiment will run, right?

  • How

    I feel I haven’t written anything in ages… so  this is new. ^^ Just wrote it a couple of hours ago.

    How
    How I’m looking at the picture,
    remembering the laughing and the tears,
    all the moments throughout those years.
    Sharing our fears,
    waking up at 4 am. some days,
    walking ’bout in a crazy haze

    How would I’ve known
    that I’d be so much in love
    with someone I met so many years ago.
    Where did you go?
    I haven’t seen you, or heard you call-
    We’re ten thousand miles apart or so.

    How am I supposed to reach you?

  • Where in the World is Yu Aoi? Part 2

    In the “Lost World,” of course~ LOL

    About 2 months ago (a few days later, give or take) I blogged (and try translating) this msg. Now we (I) know why…

  • If Only

    Just taking apart my notebook. LOL’

    If Only

    I never thought that coming back
    would take a piece of heart apart
    and as time passed, each piece of heart
    just started fading away.

    I understood saying goodbyes
    was always a part of this life,
    but it’s never stopped this mind
    thinking about the time, if only…

    If only I hadn’t left,
    if only I’d pass this test,
    we’d still have the time.
    One more summer, one last fall…
    winter passes, springtime falls
    One more cycle, life and death.
    If only.
