Listening to: “The Scientist” by Coldplay
WiP: “Hyakkimaru & Dororo” (based on the 2007 movie, started yesterday – did the outline sketch for both and managed to shade Dororo’s face, maybe my “magnum opus” for 07, but then it could be my Jan. 08 offering, depending on when I’ll finish it.) And I have to have [...]

one missed call…
Listening to: “Luka” – Suzanne Vega
8th day of the Asian Movie/TV Marathon. So far I’ve seen:
“Neighbor No. 13″ – a j-horror of sorts. Basically a split personality drama, with a twist ending. Not too bad. Although, why the mom would leave her son to a stranger she had known only for a couple of weeks, [...]

a big glob of superstitious nonsense…
Listening to: “One of These Days” by Michelle Branch
Just seen Episode 11 of Gundam 00 (no major development on the story, more like a “launching pad” of Allelujah’s character. It would be interesting to see how HRL will handle this recent attack on their facility though; and the public outrage at the exposure of their [...]

Galileo…Sees
Yes finally, the streaming Episode 8 of “Galileo” is up. Although it’s not yet available on CrunchyRoll, it can be found at VEOH. Another interesting case for our “duo”. This one supposedly involves “teleportation”.
It turns out our professor enjoys cooking as well (and he’s rather good at it too!) Ah, and another amusing exchange:
Utsumi: [...]

…thoughts part deaus…
Sixth day of the Asian TV/Movie Marathon.
Watching: “Mobile Suit Gundam 00″ (I’m done with episodes 1-10 – I double checked Shinsen subs to see if I’m missing anything, turns out Episode 11 hasn’t been aired yet in Japan.)
So far so good. The story seems to be running smoothly (filled as usual with skulduggery and [...]

…thoughts…
Listening to: “I Love You…I’ll Kill You” by ENIGMA
Made another GW “photo-manip” while browsing through CrunchyRoll, looking for another movie to watch and review. Actually, I just finished my third one today. Something called “Reincarnation” (Japan), The plot was quite easy to discern. I found the entire film “flat”. There were elements from [...]

…a ghost train and a killer newspaper…
Fifth Day of the Asian TV/Movie Marathon.
Today, I’ve seen:
A Korean film entitled “RedEye” (not to be confused with Wes Craven’s), basically a “ghost train” story. It’s not “scary” at all, merely “interesting”. Quite dragging in the beginning (mainly due to “unnecessary scenes” – the girl who died of “hair asphyxia” for example; we could have [...]

Galileo…waits
4th day of the Asian movie/TV marathon.
Today I’ve seen:
Replays of “Galileo”
The Thai film “Sick Nurses” (Although it was marketed as a “horror” film, the more fitting description would be “horrible”. I didn’t even finish it. The whole thing does not makes sense. No story whatsoever – or maybe there was, but it’s all so [...]

conversations about..poo.
Third day of the Asian Series.
Finished watching “Galileo” (at least up to episode 7, the SARS subs for episodes 8-10 is not yet available – can’t wait for the rest).
Synopsis (from DramaWiki): Fukuyama Masaharu plays a genius physicist and university associate professor, Yukawa Manabu, who solves difficult mysteries. Affectionately known as Tantei Galileo, [...]

it’s an asian movie/tv marathon!
Listening to: “Ni Yao De Ai” (The Love You Want) Instrumental
I’m on my second day now. So far, I’ve seen:
“Dororo”
Cast: Satoshi Tsumabuki; Kou Shibasaki
What I thought of this movie could be summed up as follows (I uttered these shortly after the movie ended): “Oh no, it’s over! I want more!”
Synopsis: In order to [...]
