Only like 6 days, in fact!
Here’s some more info~~~

Episode 2 – HOPE
Episode 3 – Tonari no Tonari no Akira (Akira, the neighbor of the neighbor? LOL)
Episode 4 – Tabi no Aida (Traveling Time)

And Juri singing the closing theme! which she also wrote xD LOL
The year, 2000… I think.
Anyway, for any fans of the shows, I just found the torrent for Mysterious Ways, that Canadian (probably shot on Vancouver) show with Adrian Pasdar (who is now married to Natalie Maines from the Dixie Chicks) with Rae Dawn Chong (who my mother refuses to believe is Chinese, LOL) and Alisen Down (playing the geeky and awkward Miranda) – by the by, I’m pretty sure I was a Declan/Miranda kinda shipper… ~ I’m telling you, it’s all about the geek.
Also, don’t mind the title sequence. It’s a really REALLY bad title sequence, super 90’s and cheese~ xD
Anyway, I’m posting the links to the torrents because there are no DVDs… I doubt there will be any releases since it’s such a tiny show… and Canadian. Canadian programming sucks when it comes to releasing on DVD.
It’s a little over 15Gb for both seasons, but it’s worth it if you want the show. Remember, the show getting a DVD release it’s a long shot. Better download while you can. And if the torrent goes dead (and there are still no DVD releases), you can leave a message to request re-seed.
… or “Ueno Juri and the 5 Bags” – whatever your pick on names is~
I think I’ll have to tag this different. O_o
Anyway~~~ Trailers are out!
Exciting! Funny Juri, Singing Juri!!
Like I’ve said before, I love this WOWOW projects.
Please WOWOW release Itsutsu no Kaban (plus One Million Yen Girl, and Camouflage) with English subs!
You’ll appreciate it… at least mildly. LOL
Promos after the break~
Continue Reading…
It’s been announced that Kate Winslet will be in a new adaptation of James M. Cain’s novel Mildred Pierce. This time around a miniseries… possibly involving HBO, directed by the Far from Heaven (Julianne Moore) director Todd Haynes. HBO does pretty good miniseries…
but I dunno how to feel~~~
Before, the novel was adapted into the movie that earned Fab Joan Crawford her Oscar for Best Actress in 1945.
I loved the movie. It came with my Joan Crawford movie collection, and it made me want to slap Veda so so SO bad~~~ I’m fascinated by the way Crawford led her life… she took it all, man. Until the end.
They don’t make them like that any longer. Stars love to bitch now. They want their privacy, but do nothing. They love the attention, but they bitch. That’s how they make them now…
As you may also know… I’m also fascinated by Greta Garbo. Fell in love with the both of them. Garbo gave it all up for her privacy. That’s how you do it… stars now can’t.
Also, my dad loved the movie too. xD
Had so much fun watching it, and wanting to slap Veda around too.
CBS’s new medical transplant drama (?) Three Rivers~
hmm… dunno, don’t really have much interest on Network TV as of lately,
but any reason to see Katherine Moenning in scrubs~~~
LOL
good on my book… and good on your book too, right?
first, must admit. The character promo shot looks not like her.
blame Photoshop~~~ good thing? the promo episode still, pretty hot.
LOL, almost like Shane cleaned up her act and became a Dr. @_@
Motionographer made a post on the nominees for
Best Main Titles
(yes, motion designers can win Emmys too)
Of course, my favorite one (and crossing my fingers for its win) is
The United States of Tara… because!
I love pop-up books… the level of detail in it,
the style… and I also loved the theme.
it gives you the proper idea of what the show is,
it evokes the show and the style.

Forget the Film (or show), Watch the Titles also had
a special on the titles for United States of Tara~
as well as True Blood, and Taking Chance
I know, I know… I’m being lazy.
By the way, by the time of posting this, I’m probably away taking photos at a concert. This is a scheduled post because I wanted Maggie Cheung as the first post for a little longer… xD
I usually post one thing per post, but there’s too much Yu to post –
all via aoinohoho’s Yu-dedicated JP blog.
dozou~~~
First!
Rumors that NHK’s future 2011 (I know, I know… so far ahead) Taiga drama (a la Yoshitsune, Atsuhime) would be centered around three sisters… The Three Asai Sisters (?). They throw in some names like Masami Nagasawa and Aya Ueto, but seem positively (?) more thrilled to throw in Yu’s name xD – though you know, it IS a Google Translate.
Me on the other hand… I loved Atsuhime… a strong female who moved the pieces in this game of life. That may have had to do with the high ratings the show got alongside the writing, and production values. So the prospect of Yu on a Taiga drama thrills me. For one thing, I will be able to watch her once a week on my TV for a year. LOL – but then, that will mean a decrease on films… *eek!*
Second!
Apparently (this is old old news), FRaU Magazine had a list Yu’s 10 Best Films~
Some interesting choices there!
3 films in English made it to her list…
A very international one… actually, a two-part film project titled Ten Minutes Older, divided into The Trumpet and The Cello. (2002)
And the rest are Asian… though I’ve only heard of Sway (with fellow Joe Odagiri), which I wanna watch.
and third!
aoinohoho uploaded this 9min video of… Yu talking about a book? Book reading?

Oh yeah, and did I mention my mom loves Yu? She told me that tonight… again. LOL
To quote a Canadian filmmaker…
In typical Canadian fashion, [insert name of movie] doesn’t have a dvd distributor yet.
That was said 3 or 4 years ago… there still isn’t a DVD.
So in typical Canadian fashion… nearly 10 years after The Adventures of Shirley Holmes aired its last episode, after so many other shows have been released on DVD – there still isn’t a proper DVD release for the series.
What the fans have to go through? Well, some “savvy” people managed to digitally record the re-runs, and encode them to DVD format, but instead of sharing them, they decided to make some profit. Even if it’s small. Some other fans, get scammed… thinking they’re getting the real deal, to only find out that the episodes have been TV recorded – which I have to admit it’s just a bit silly to believe. – Some other fans just move on… some others end up on YouTube scavenging for clips and episodes… regardless of capture quality, and very appreciated.
Well, waiting is over… of sorts~ the Shirley Holmes Central is working on digital downloads.
It really should have been an elementary exercise. TV shows on demand, new episodes of current tv shows available for streaming immediately after, and sometimes days and weeks before broadcast. This is the media world we now live in, and one in which there is much to admire.
So why has it taken so long to get episodes of Shirley Holmes online, in a streamable, and / or downloadable format ?
There are a few reasons, not least the relative obscurity of repeat airings, and the lack of any official DVD releases, even now, nearly a decade after the show wrapped in 2000. And then of course there was season 4, a somewhat mythical 13 episodes for many fans, because worldwide screening was very limited, with only the home Canadian market, and a few select international markets, including Australia and South America, seeing those episodes broadcast.
So while Forefront, Credo Entertainment (does it still exist?), and Chorus Entertainment… and YTV? Lose some money – seriously… if they decided to make Free Region DVDs, they could sell these in South America, the UK and Germany already.
December 19!!!
Of course I will have to wait a little for it… with luck, it won’t be too long.
GYABO!!! xD
btw, sounds like a very fun European tour…
Last month on the 16th, they already started filming in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. They continued in Brno, the Czech Republic and after that they arrived in Vienna, Austria. After Vienna, they went back to Brno also filmed a few scenes Prague. Right now they are in France and about to start filming in Paris.
More photos and videos via the Juri LJ Comm xD
Chiaki-sempai!!!! Gyabo~~~ xD
Oh, man~ I love Nodame-chan xD – Onara Taisou!!
