  • HBO’s Mildred Pierce Teaser

    You know I love Joan Crawford, I said the same thing when this project was announced, and even if I can girlcrush on Kate Winslet, and I’m an Evan Rachel Wood enthusiast — not as fervent as a few years back — I’m still holding on judgement because HBO does good.

    First of all, I don’t remember any subtext from the mother/daughter relation from the movie. And also… is it only a little weird Winslet is like just a couple of years older than Rachel McAdams, and that Evan Rachel Wood is just a few years younger than McAdams, are playing Mother/Daughter? xD Just a tiny bit Mexican Telenovela? Actually, no – Mexican Telenovelas are out of control. The actress playing a mother can be 35 and the actress playing the daughter can be 25, and you’re supposed to buy it. Even worse, you’re 50 and you’re supposed to have a 25-year-old granddaughter. xD

    At least Winslet looks like she’s been not been madeup for glamor or a party.

    not tagging this as trailer yet xD

  • The Ting Tings – Hands

    I’ve seen a better more fun Clap your Hands video. LOL

    The Ting Tings is another group that I liked in… 2008? Their debut was one of my fun albums of that year, thought that’s worn out due to overexposure as well. Very much like Maroon 5, The Ting Tings’ suffered from That’s not my Name exposure… with a bit of Shut Up and Let me Go. But “not my name” was  everywhere, the duo was even included in the first few episodes of Japanese drama Sunao ni Narenakute (aka. Hard to Say I Love You) earlier this year. By that time, I was already fed up.

    But here they are, preparing for a new album. And their YouTube Vevo page is not letting me stream their videos, so F U. I’m posting some other source. I’m tired of them not letting me stream content.

  • Remembering Swing Girls – What a Wonderful World

    Ahh… this still makes me laughs. Specially the 180/360 degree shot of Juri’s frozen-falling snot and the face of Shihori Kanjiya as she sees the impending snot falling on her. LOL

    Where are they now?

    Juri was in S.Korea promoting Nodame Cantabile, of course. However, I’m getting excited for her turn on her first NHK Taiga drama — I thought about it today as I watched Ryomaden xD which brings me to… Shihori Kanjiya who was also on Ryomaden… and Yuta Hiraoka who still can be seen on Ryomaden xD

  • Goodies Support!

    Wow, is this what they call a grovel post? xD

    Let’s make it an update post. I just pre-ordered this book:

    Yeah, by the same author of Let the Right One In. xD

    Of course, I still haven’t finished reading the Millennium trilogy, even though my friend already read the first two books… but she’s been on holidays, so she really has the upper-hand, right?

    If books are not your thing… how about some music?

  • Ahh… Red Global

    Way back back… back in the day – a little bit before I started using Napster xD this was my shame, and you can NOT hold me accountable for it. Circle of shame, girlfriend~~~

  • Currently Watching – Aug2010 Edition

    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

  • Mika Nakashima – Ichiban Kirei na Watashi wo

    You’ll have to excuse my Japanese. Is the English translation “The Most Beautiful Me”? Okay, I had a listen to most of Nakashima’s discography, after I was totally team Nana xD She strikes me as a emotionless-goth sometimes, and then the other times she strikes me as a total emo. However, I kinda dig her music.

    She sounds great on Ichiban Kirei na, and somehow with my understanding of the lyrics… they seemed kinda poetic. I mean, the kind of lyrics that I like from Asian songs in general. Like having to sing about “that time in winter” and stuff like that. I like it when songs talk about the seasons and the elements, hahaha.

    I think this song is the theme for Unubore Deka.

  • Laura Linney’s The Big C

    I have a feeling I’m gonna love this show. Though, Linney’s character needs a hotter husband. I’m sorry, I’m shallow… I enjoy Oliver Platt’s acting as much as the next fella, but come on. It’s getting surreal to the point where 99% of female leads have average or below average good-looking male co-stars.

  • Rocky Horror for Glee

    Oh yeah, sweet baby beegesus.

    You know you can picture it already.

    Ryan Murphy announced that Glee will have a Rocky Horror Picture Show themed-episode, and Chris Colfer said he’d like to sing Time Warp. Among other news, Brittany [dumb as a rock, but funny as hell] will get her own episode, as well as Mercedes — poor Tina, we need her around.

  • Dexter Season 5 Preview

    *spazz*

    looks exciting. O.O and oh! the tension!! And OMG, the S4 finale was off the hook. Crazy shocking in a season with a lot of OMG WTF shocking moments xD

    [iframe width=”560″ height=”349″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/YaxBhweQnVI?rel=0″]

    Don’t blame me, but I’m more into Showtime programming than HBO. Yes, I still haven’t watched any episode of True Blood. Yes, I still need to do that. But then again, I never really followed Lost either, and that’s done. You are probably wondering what I’m thinking. Lost is probably one of those shows I would watch after everyone did, and would probably tag as “should’ve watched when it was on the air” just like Battlestar. And as far as True Blood goes, the people that keep telling me I should watch it, I don’t know why they keep telling me “it’s like Twilight, but more awesome.” People, I don’t want anything to do with Twilight, and it should be “more awesome” as far as I’m concerned. LOL

    Also… I wanna catch Mad Men Season 3 — it airs on HBO here — and I should check out Caprica.

    Posting this as a clip, not a trailer ;P
