Yup, Black Rim Glasses Alex Does It~

June 16, 2017 — Leave a comment

Sorry about the lack of updates~

Been busy with work, avoided Mamamoo/Yu Aoi spamming, and caught up with Netflix shows (some). I finished the last season of Master of None, which was as good as the first season; except for an episode or two. My favorite was definitely Religion, coz I can inverse-relate. My family is not religious, but I live in a mostly-Catholic society and attended a Christian-Franciscan school. Anyway! That’s off-topic~

I also just finished watching the latest season of Orange is the New Black, and though it’s probably the weakest season of the lot, I realized that Laura Prepon in plain dark hair, minimum make-up, and black rim glasses does it. No black slightly curled, not blonde, not even red head Laura Prepon. So it’s like, Alex does it.

When Piper told Alex “I thought you might wanna go back to your sexy librarian look.” And Alex smirked. Yeah! LOL

Jenji Kohan for Aug’14 The Hollywood Reporter

Jenji Kohan did a very good interview for The Hollywood Reporter where she talks about her journey as a spec writer, her stints on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Friends, her experience with Weeds and Orange is the New Black. All with a fabulous cover with colorful hair, because, as her mother put it “if you can’t fix it, decorate it.”

Read the whole interview on THR website.

Satellite Awards 2010 Nominations

December 3, 2010 — Leave a comment

I’m never really good with Satellite Awards, I always forget them. But then again, there’s so many Satellite nominees per category… it seems a bit excessive. It’s like chucking all the best performances of the year, instead of choosing five spots even if three good performances will be left out.

And when there’s not enough good performances… they just fill the category up!

Inception is leading this one ;P

Hello, Goodbye YAM012~

Currently Watching – Aug2010 Edition

August 21, 2010 — 5 Comments

This is what I’m currently watching… on the air. Nothing to do with keeping up with any programs, though I should really find some time to watch Lost, True Blood, and still need to catch up on Mad Men S3. But alas, my Dead Like Me box-set just arrived – I didn’t know it came with the tv movie xD – so I guess I will be watching that the whole month.

– The Big C – for Laura Linney… and I love anything Showtime, most the times.

Didn’t love the pilot, the commercial I posted had pretty much all the funny parts… but I liked the interactions. My favorite line was that one with Gabby Sidibe. About being skinny and a bitch, or fat and jolly. Coz it’s so true. LOL

About:
Laura Linney plays a woman diagnosed with… what appears to be final stages of some cancer. She is considered boring by her son and husband, but wants to be the one staining her sofa with juice/wine. She also wants to eat onions, LOL Plus, her brother needs to take a shower. xD

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

Showtime Re-Launches Emmy Digital Online Campaign

March 13, 2009 — Leave a comment

… Now if only they’d begin getting rid off region restrictions, I’d die of happiness~~~

According to this article at Derby LA Times;

Showtime will continue with their innovating Emmy campaign by allowing Emmy voters to watch episodes of Emmy-contenders online through a portal exclusively for them. They get like a Showtime voting kit in the mail, where they get a code which they can use to access.

This is after they got 21 nods last time when they were doing a similar campaign. With the code, they apparently get some episodes from shows… normally 3. They will be getting the first three episodes of United States of Tara, the first two episodes and season finale of Weeds Season 4, first two episodes of The Tudors Season 3, episodes 5 and 10 of Dexter Season 3 (the one with Miguel finally getting Dexter’s trust, and the one in which that cycle gets completed LOL), and the first episode and finale of The L Word Season 6 (and final season) – which by the way makes kind of sense. In my opinion those episodes where shot the best, and I said that you could watch those two and wouldn’t be missing anything~~~ LOL

The Launch
The Progress

The next idea should be ‘no region’, right? xD

SAG Nominations 2009!

December 19, 2008 — Leave a comment

Sorry for the late LATE post. I’ve been watching WALL-E for the 5th time… LOL – Special 3-disc DVD edition is pretty cool. Totally worth it if you’re an animation/film fan… maybe not so much as a family DVD.

Nominations weren’t much of a surprise though, were they? Perhaps biggest snub, Leonardo DiCaprio? And DOUBLE nom for Kate Winslet!! LOL Big announcement for Doubt with 5 nominations, leading… followed by Milk and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button with 3 nods. exclamation!! And The Dark Knight, Frost/Nixon and Slumdog Milionaire with 2.

On the television front… 5 shows lead with 3 nominations (30 Rock included…), and 7 follow with 2 nominations (including House, Dexter and Weeds). Check the full nominees here.

SAG will be announced on Jan. 25th 2009 on TNT.

Golden Globes Nominations Are In

December 11, 2008 — Leave a comment

2008-2009

Where is the Milk LUV? And The Dark Knight LUV? I truly thought that Milk would score a Best Picture Drama, and some other awards…

Is the GG people who nominate a little… mo’phobe? Just saying… isn’t GG aired in ABC? Anyway, there is definitely more ‘conservative’ choosing of films in this one… at least in the drama category.

Click here for the complete of nominees, which include:

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Doubt, Frost/Nixon, The Reader, Revolutionary Road, Slumdog Millionaire, Vicky Cristina Barcelona… in the film categories. And~~~ 30 Rock, Dexter, House, Weeds in the TV categories…

And a nomination for Catherine Keener for Best Actress in a Mini-Series or Made-for-TV Film, in the film An American Crime (which she starred with Ellen Page!) and totally FREAKED me out.

I just find it a bit odd that Critics’ Choice Awards have been pretty much different to these nominees… MORE NOMINATIONS and WINNERS in the following weeks~~~

And how is it that Waltz with Bashir gets a Best Foreign nod, and not a Best Animated Feature? Waltz with Bashir > Bolt or Kung Fu Panda.
