  • Oh, Shane, You Such a Player~

    Obviously, not so safe for work.

    We’re talking about The L Word here. Better safe than sorry.

    You really should know that I have nothing to post right now. So this is mandatory posting. What can I say about this? I can’t remember how long it’s been since the end of the show (2 years?), and I can’t remember what it was about. I was watching this video, and I kept saying “oh, yeah… I remember that”.

    The more I think about the show, the more I not-so-secretly wished that they could make a Japanese version. LOL And you know Meisa Kuroki has won me over with the ‘tude. I can now totally picture her as Carmen.

  • The L Word + Yu Aoi Fandom Crossover

    I’m sorry, I had to post this. xD

    I ran into this post in Japanese talking about something about a The L Word London/British BBC remake version (?), and the poster asked herself who she would cast in a Japanese remake of The L Word… or something like that. You know, you should always take my translations with a grain of salt. xD

    Bolding mine~

    As Bette Porter: Yuki Amami
    As Tina Kennard: Yuriko Ishida
    As Alice Pieszecki: Miho Kanno
    As Dana Fairbanks: Rinka
    As Lara Perkins: Karina Nose (?)
    As Jenny Schecter: Yu Aoi <- I “WHAT” at this one xD
    As Marina Ferrer: Sachie Hara
    As Shane McCutcheon: Kou Shibasaki <- OMG I laughed at this one, actually snorted.
    As Carmen de la Pica Morales: MEISA Kuroki
    As Eva Torres (aka. Papi): Anna Tsuchiya <- I burst out laughing ‘coz I can picture it.
    As Helena Peabody: Yuki Matsushita

    First thoughts? It would be actually kind of exciting… considering Jenny was often described as “the main character” on the show, that would mean Yu on a new show xD and… no disrespect to Mia Kirshner and her Jenny, but OMG… how much I wanted to hit Jenny in the face. LOL She was… exasperating. So in that sense, I would like to see if Yu could make me want to punch her in the face with her Jenny, or if the Japanese writers (and Yu’s new interpretation) would be able to make me sympathetic towards her.

    And if by any chance it gets remade… well, I doubt any Japanese network would be able to get away with all the smut, so all the smut would have to be implied. I don’t have a problem with that, as I actually think that all the smut took away from whatever little you could salvage from the telenovela.

    *sighs* I haven’t talk about The L Word since it ended… unless you count the Shane posts xD And talking about Shane… how about Kou Shibasaki as her? I don’t know man… Shane’s like iconic. LOL It’s like you say “Shane” and people should know, you know? Could Shibasaki play suave? I don’t know any actress that could pull of Shane’s player attitude.

    And since we’re talking about players… how about Papi. You know why I laughed with the suggestion of Tsuchiya. Because I was reminded the time I was watching Kamikaze Girls with a friend, and Anna Tsuchiya, playing Ichigo, was on screen with Momoko (played by Kyoko Fukada) and my friend literally “She’s sooooo cool” and then she turned around and asked me whether Kamikaze Girls was a gay film. Hence, I can picture Tsuchiya playing Papi.

    Thoughts?

  • I need a little Shane today~

    LOL

  • Easter YAM! YAM Issue 003, that Is…

    I just posted YAM 003 over at my portfolio~~

    There’s a lot of international flavor in it… all by chance actually. It really wasn’t planned, it all just came together like that. There’s a couple of rant articles on movies and music, loads of reviews including complete non-fanatical reviews of Ao Akua, Utada Hikaru, DBSK, Hathaways, U2, Madeleine Peyroux, and Michel Gondry/Bong Joon-ho’s Yu Aoi’s Tokyo!

    ALSO! A special on the Peruvian film winning the Berlinale’s Golden Bear top prize~~ The Milk of Sorrow, and some of the discussion regarding the original name “La Teta Asustada”.

    YAM - Issue 3

    Head over there now!

  • Amy, the Regular Mom

    … Amy Poehler, that is.

    Did you read the Advocate interview she did?? I just died laughing with this quote…

    Who’s the most important gay person in your life now?
    Shane from The L Word. She just can’t get her shit together. She’s a broken bird, and she needs someone to fix her. Just when you think she’s ready for love, she sabotages it. And the woman gives a rock ’n’ roll haircut. [Laughs]

    Oh, Amy! The interview was fun~~~~ xD and she goes on to say this;

    … I like children to have nice manners and a lot of boundaries. My hope for my children is that they’re happy, and my hope for myself is that people want to be around my children.

    *sighs* where ARE those kind of mothers these days???

  • Showtime Re-Launches Emmy Digital Online Campaign

    … 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

  • Goodbye, Sholly!

    It was sort of nice meeting you.

    Spoilers did their work on just not hyping it up, but still the final episode was pretty bleh. And Sholly… Sholly has been forever tainted with Jenny’s *disease* LOL. I blame it all on the rumor of Hollywood Ebola. HAHAHA, ‘coz Julz knows that Hollywood Ebola’s disease is so powerful, that even a rumor can infect you.

    Anyway, as a goodbye to Sholly, I did a little funny.

  • Woah, March Already?

    Gotta be careful, I could yawn and it will be December next. LOL’

    So award season is over… but that only means it’s time to begin the hunt once again~~ Posts on February reached the +40 mark… in fact, I matched my December record of 44 posts. And considering February has less days, well~~ Here come the quiet months though… March, April, May. They kill me.

    Also, don’t forget the BackStreet Boys…

    Plus… Yu Aoi Film Discussion~~~ Next up is Otoko-tachi no Yamato – or Yamato for short. Still there, haven’t found the time to re-watch that ++++ Hachimitsu to KURO~BA~ or Honey & Clover. Haven’t forgotten…

    Today though… next to last episode of The L Word, which ends next week with a 2hr episode… not looking forward to IT per se, but AM looking forward to just finish once and for all. LOL’ To ger your Sholly (Shane+Molly) fix – do your thing.

  • For the Sholly Shipper Out There~~

    I know you’re there… the Sholly posts keep getting hits, and they are only 2nd to that Child Actors post I made a while back. LOL’

    So stop the lurkin’ already, and comment a little…

    We just saw Ep06, and we’re just two weeks away from finishing this exasperating season, but hey! You saw that photo of Molly, right? The one Shane was developing… you loved it, right? ‘Coz everytime there’s a glimps of Clementine Ford in one of the latest episodes, Sholly searches spike a little. As do Katherine Moennig and Clementine searches~~

    Some may think that cheating is catching up to Shane, and that’s what made her sick. I, on the other hand, think Jenny is wack. She totally did something to Shane, hahaha. And if she didn’t, well… that ‘good’ gesture she did by giving Shane the Photo Studio – that totally smells to ‘strings attached’. And Shane’s totally trapped.

    Screencaps after the break.

  • More Sholly Fanart~

    A few days ago, I posted some Sholly fanart over my portfolio. I thought I’d post that in here as well… just in case. Since my blog seems a bit more visited than my portfolio.
