  • Yu Aoi on NHK’s Taiga Drama Ryoma den!

    NHK will begin airing their new Taiga (historical) drama on January 3rd 2010, titled Ryoman den (龍馬伝), and Yu has been announced as a cast member.

    NHK’s 49h taiga drama centers around Ryoma Sakamoto (January 3, 1836 – December 10, 1867) a leader of the movement to overthrow the feudal regime of Tokugawa shogunate. Ryoma Sakmoto is thought to have been a visionary who helped spur Japan to modernization.

    Yu Aoi will be playing Omoto, and we don’t know anything else. So those rumors weren’t so far off~~~ LOL We have no idea how long she will play Omoto… maybe 4 episodes? When? If you can read Jap, please let me know.

    Best announcement for Xmas ever~ xD

    I just need to wait for subs hahaha

  • Best of 2009: Television

    I am most certainly rubbish with this. Mainly because television requires a lot of hours of your time, which just doesn’t help if you need to watch everything. While votes on award shows are only required to watch 2 episodes, I try watching all the episodes on a season (of good shows). The bad ones never make it pass the 2nd week. LOL

    So this year, I don’t think I watched too many shows. And I don’t watch reality any longer, maybe an episode a month of things like Iron Chef, or Project Runway, or So You Think You Can Dance, and/or Ramsay’s The F Word. I like Ramsay. He reminds me of my uncle. Hahahaha.

  • Glee Quote of the Week – S01×13 – Sectionals

    I dunno what to do about the Glee Quote of the Week now that Glee is off until April. APRIL! For the love of God!!! What am I supposed to do until then, uh? Tell me.

    Glee - 1x13 - Sex is not dating.

    Santana: Sex is not dating.
    Brittany: If it was, Santana and I would be dating.

    *awkward silence*

    LOL. That was so awkward, and so phunny. But the whole episode was soooo funny, especially the part about the judges. Oh but you gotta watch the whole scene play out. And I’m so totally convinced Rachel has a little Mary Cherry in her too. She also has (psychic) powers! LOL

  • Glee Quote of the Week – S01×12 – Mattress

    Late quote, anyway~
    I was listening to the Glee OST *sings*
    I’m having trouble accepting there won’t be Glee for months.

    Glee - 1x12 - Break into the Business

    *cries*
    I can cry on demand. It’s one of my many talents. I am very versatile, and aside from nudity and the explotation of animals, I’d pretty much do anything to break into the business.

    so true, Rachel. so true. LOL

  • Rocko’s Modern Life – Non-Official Release Vs. Torrents

    I received a notification on my email that Amazon was going to begin selling The Best of Rocko’s Modern Life: Volume 3 this week. First of all, I wasn’t aware that Volume 1 and Volume 2 were on the market. Then I read properly. It’s not an official release! It’s on DVD-R, so they won’t play on many DVD players. And they’re edited! And you gotta pay over $20USD for those volumes.

    So that’s about $60 for just three volumes.
    The Best of Rocko’s Modern Life – Volume 1
    The Best of Rocko’s Modern Life – Volume 2
    The Best of Rocko’s Modern Life Volume 3 (2 Disc set)

    Now, is that fair? As a consumer, and as a fan of the show?

    No, I don’t think so.

    So this is a link to the complete 4 seasons of Rocko’s Modern Life.

  • Glee Quote of the Week – S01×11 – Hairography

    Sorry for the late post on Glee.

    This week’s quote has also to do with the screencap~~~

    glee-ep1x11-steal-it

    “How to Raise a Baby on Five Dollars a Day”

    Saw it at the bookstore. Figured I’d steal it for you.
    You know, in case you change your mind and decide you wanna keep it.

    thank you Puck and Quinn…

  • Daria DVD News Spazz~~~

    On July, I posted this about the Daria DVD.

    I just got an email update with more info, which sound spazz-tastic~

    1. It sounds as though, rather than put the episodes out season-by-season, they are looking to put the whole series out at once, including the movies.
    2. There will be goodies, though which ones, I am not sure. However, the Sarcastathons and the specials were mentioned, and it looks as though they are going through ANY footage to find superfluous Daria appearances (like on TV talk shows).
    3. The commercial bumpers will be preserved, and in their rightful places.
    4. The episodes will be from the original masters, so no Noggin jujitsu cuts.
    5. The DVDs could come out as early as spring 2010. I’m going to play it conservative and still claim that they won’t be available until late 2010. For outside of the United States, it will be closer to 2011.

    Also, apparently… for licensing reasons — there will be music replacement. However, it appears that they will replace some songs with covers, so they are trying to make changes not too noticeable. As for licensing explanations, old shows that used music prominently are having issues with their DVD release because the permits they used on the original TV broadcast don’t apply when releasing the music on DVD.

    New shows don’t suffer from it, because the different licensing issues are dealt when shooting the show.

    Will’s not-a-pregnant wife.

    Glee - 1x10 - I'll Kill You Suzy Pepper

    Listen, you little psycho. This is Will’s wife, and if I don’t get enough sleep my anti-depressants won’t work, and then I’ll go crazy and I’ll kill you.

    HAHAHAHA.
    Stalkers make me laugh.

    Suzy Pepper (laughs) was played by Sarah Drew, who also played Bianca… Jaye’s stuttering stalker on Wonderfalls.

    Glee - 1x09 - My Chocolate Thunder

    Why do we have to go all vanilla on this song? See what we need is my chocolate thunder.

    *all in agreement*

    Okay, we don’t have time to re-arrange the song for you, Mercedes. Rachel is singing it. Don’t worry, we’ll find something for you to dip in chocolate.

    Though, to be honest, the episode was more heartfelt this time around.
