  • Yu Aoi for Dr. Rintaro Ep01

    o-hisashiburi desu, Yu-chan~

    It’s really been a long time since the last time I saw you SAW-YOU, thuogh it’s only been a year since Wakamono-tachi. So much time that your hair is no longer short. LOL I still got plenty of movies to catch up with, but it’s good to see you as an Osen-san-meets-Omoto-meets-Mina type of character. I’m not sure how Dr. Rintaro is dealing with the topic of clinical depression, considering how Asians view mental illnesses… but I’m interested in seeing why your character acts the way she does- is it Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)? Or are you just blowing Dr. Hinorin off xD
    Also- can’t complain when this thing happened:

  • From the Vault: Khamatova for Andrei Voznesensky

    I ran into this oldie clip of Chulpan Khamatova reciting an extract of an Andrei Voznesensky (Андрея Вознесенского) poem, shot by Peter Shepotinnik (Петра Шепотинника) titled Lirika (Лирика)- though, I don’t know whether that’s an extract of the Voznesensky’s works of the same title. I couldn’t find a literal extract of the poem online that wasn’t taken from the video.

    I did find a transcript of the video.

    Ты мне прозвонилась сквозь страшную полночь:
    “А ты меня помнишь?”

    ну, как позабыть тебя, ангел-звереныш?
    “А ты меня помнишь?”

    твой голос настаивал, стонущ и тонущ –
    “А ты меня помнишь?” “А ты меня помнишь?”
    и ухало эхо во тьме телефонищ –
    рыдало по-русски, in English, in Polish-
    you promise? Astonish…

    а ты меня помнишь?

    А ты меня помнишь, дорога до Бронниц?
    И нос твой, напудренный утренним пончиком?
    В ночном самолете отстегнуты помочи –
    Вы, кресла, нас помните?

    Понять, обмануться, окликнуть по имени:
    А ты меня…

    Помнишь? Как скорая помощь,
    В беспамятном веке запомни одно лишь –
    “А ты меня помнишь?”

  • Zhao Wei Sizzling for Marie Claire and Chen Man

    For some of her last photoshoots, photographer Chen Man (known for some mad photoshop wiz magic) has been toning down her post processing, and this latest issue of Marie Claire China featuring my bias Zhao Wei is proof. I always think Zhao Wei looks super hot, though.

  • Oh, wow~ Isabella Leong is Really Back!

    It’s only a couple of days more, and the movie will finally open [1], but here’s the Rene Liu song that’s promoting the film full of feels~

  • GaIn + Amber for Apple @ Inkigayo

    This is probably the most gender-bending I’ll ever see from Korea xD Though I do feel Amber’s rapping isn’t as fluid as Jay Park’s here, I can’t help it seeing biases working together.

    Also, Amber has earned her tag.

  • Chulpan Khamatova Series

    Ah~ I thought I would do a post compilation of the Chulpan Khamatova TV serials that I’ve been able to find on YouTube. Starting with these two~ Children of the Arbat (Дети Арбата) and Pepel (Пепел). I’ve seen Pepel with Google translated subtitles, but I haven’t seen Arbat yet, as subtitles online are incomplete.

  • The Show-Off Film Collection List~

    Oh, Happy Chinese New Year! Let’s start my (supposedly) bad-luck Goat Year with the now-mandatory Letterboxd list of my film collection~

    amys-film-collection-letterboxd

    I have a really weird history with films– born in the late 80s, you’d think I would’ve grown watching loads of 90s kids stuff, but I actually grew up with a lot of Silly Symphonies (which were released in the 30s) and loads of Disney 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s stuff, plus a lot of more grown up 80s movies. Poltergeist, The Thing, The Fly and The Stuff were particularly scary stuff (and I’m pretty sure I was scared of yogurt or white stuff at some point).

    I don’t ever remember buying any original VHS tape, except for the rare birthday gift of a Disney’s Sing-Along Songs chapter or that X-Men tape I have. My first DVDs buys were Coyote Ugly, She’s All That and Loser — you can’t blame me. I was a 15-year-old girl. The collection grew bigger, and possibly exploded during my years abroad. I’m nearing my 500th movie.
