dangermousieThis is going to be long and rambly and about every topic under the sun.
Saw two movies in the theater this weekend: The Prestige and Borat. The former was an unrealistic bore-fest (the central conceit was just…no, I cannot suspend disbelief in that fashion) and the characters had no inner life of their own or any realness but acted as puppets pulled by the screenplay. Blah.
Borat was quite funny if eminently forgettable, though I must be singularly depraved because the ‘shocking’ scene people and critics were mentioning just had me going: ‘huh? That’s what the fuss is about? Why?’
The best thing about both of those movies were the trailers. I am very interested in seeing The Fountain with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz (I love RW and while I don’t get the fuss about HJ, I like him well enough). I am dying to see Apocalypto. I don’t like Mel Gibson, and I have no idea if the movie will be any good, but I am so interested in seeing Mayan Civilization on screen. It really is like nothing else I’ve seen before. And the trailer for Casino Royale made me want to watch a Bond movie in…ever. Daniel Craig comes across as ruthless enough to be a routine killer (unlike Pierce Brosnan who came across as suave but not at all realistic as an agent), the feel seems to be darker and grittier and not so much about pretty shiny things. I’ll give it a try, if for nothing else than sheer wonder of a Bond movie being 96% fresh at Rotten Tomatoes. I have to say, the temporal functioning of the Bond universe gives me huge headaches. How come Bond can look like Sean Connery AND Pierce Brosnan? How can he be Bonding in the sixties and then still Bond in 2006, and look younger than he did in the eighties? Why does Bond start his career in 2006 and is a seasoned professional by 1972? It makes my head hurt :P
I’ve been neglecting my Battlestar Galactica write-ups.
I loved it. The Tigh parts were my favorite. The scene where Tigh poisons Ellen is just…might very well be my favorite scene on BSG. They were one of the strongest couples on BSG, if amazingly uniquely dysfunctional and that scene just broke my heart. Tigh is in for a steep steep descent. No wonder he is wandering off by himself when there is a celebration. When she says he didn’t bring everyone back, he doesn’t mean Duck and other suicide bombers. He means Ellen.
The Lee saves the day scene was predictable but was awesome, and the scene with Lee and Dee where he told her he was proud to have her as his wife was great too. This is the first scene I really ‘got’ the connection before the two, so keep it up, writers!
My Kara love continues unabashed. She is actually my favorite character, I must confess. And the mind frak with the child and Leoben (who she kissed OMG and stabbed)…she is going to be much more broken than before. And seeing her modus operandi, she will push the one stable good thing in her life (Anders, who continues to totally make me love him) out of her life. See, that’s the catch-22. She pushed Lee away and first hooked onto Anders because he was safer, because they were on Caprica with no future. But she did let him into her heart and now he is going to be pushed away just like Lee. I did love the scene where he found her unconscious, and he is kissing her, and he is relieved, and freaking out, and everything, totally amazingly insanely great.
I’ve been reading Jasper Fforde Thursday Next series and I really recommend. I’ve also started watching Bleach, the anime, which I like but don’t love (yet).
And in non-related to anything dorama news. Why or why are so many Taiwanese dramas unsubbed? I love Korean dramas and enjoy Japanese ones, but there is nothing as satisfying as a good Taiwanese drama. But so few of them are subbed! Whyyyyyyyy? I’ve watched the first part of first ep of Hana Kimi unsubbed (and it’s awesome awesome awesome. Ella makes a good Mizuki. The other TW actresses I love: Barbie Hsu or Ariel Lin are too feminine and/or too old to pull this off and Wu Zun=HOT as Sano, though I still would have loved to see Mike He in the role) but I can do that because I read the manga. Generally, no subs, means no watching for me. And that is evil.
Why am I mentioning this again? Because I went looking for subs of Marry Me (Let’s Get Married) but could find none. Even though it starred Mike He. Whyyyyy? *weeps*
Wedding cold feet? This is a story about an idol who gets dumped at his own wedding.
After his sudden rise to stardom, the actor Liu Yu Ming (Mike He), nicknamed Bian Dang (Lunch Box), overruled his agency's objections and decided to get married. When the news spread, chaos reigned. His fans were very upset about his impending wedding and fights broke out outside the church. Then, they found out... the bride was a no-show. In the ensuing chaos, Bian Dang and his makeup artist, Xiao Qing, put on disguises and sneaked pass the paparazzi.
The aggressive paparazzi forced Bian Dang to go into hiding. With no home to go back to, Xiao Qing introduced him to a strange place called "The Escape Pod." Everyone there wanted to run away from their old lives. There was Poki who tried to escape his debt in Japan, Wen Zi Yu (Fish) who was running away from home, and there was the owner of The Escape Pod, Chuan Tou (The Captain). In this place, they began a magical love story of running away from and being ran away from.
And the rest of the post is occupied by general dorama babblings so it’s under the cut.
I tried a whole bunch of doramas this weekend on for size, to see which one toobsess watch next.
I checked Korean Loveholics just to see if it worked and it worked just fine. It seems to be part Sang-Doo and part Forbidden Love which makes for an odd combination, about a female teacher and a male student who fall for each other without knowing each other’s status. And she kills some bad guy to protect him but doesn’t remember so he takes the blame and goes to jail and when he comes out 5 years later, he decides to win her back. But she is engaged to be married. It’s going to be crack.
I have also checked a bit of Prince Turned Frog. It’s supposed to be quite famous but my shallow observation? The guy isn’t too hot. Boooo! I like guys with longer hair and sharper cheekbones, I am afraid.
I have watched the first episode of Nobuta Wo Produce which came highly recommended but so far I am not getting the fuss. It’s well acted and unusual but I think it marches to the beat of its own drummer too much. The tonal mood shifts are a bit jarring, and the characters just mildly annoy me so far. Shuji is very nice and normal but because of that, he doesn’t come across as very interesting. He is a smart, well-adjusted kid, which is realistic but doesn’t make it super exciting. Akira? I have to say, huge props to Yamapi because the character here is nothing like the angsty focused mess that is Kurosaki (and the same is true for Horihita Maki whose borderline antisocial shy wreck Nobuta is miles from the confident, well-adjusted Tsurara). But Akira as a character? Creeps me the hell out. What is with the weird speech pattern and the inappropriate invasion of personal space and everything? Either he is growing the biggest pot collection in Japan or he is mentally disturbed. Seriously, he creeps me out completely. I just want to smack him and tell him to snap out of it. But see, he is weird but not messed-up so…
Anyway, I’ll keep on watching and see if I get into it more.
I have also watched the beginning of Spring Waltz. Me likes. It’s the first ‘seasons’ drama I’ll watch so we’ll see. I am still amused at the whole thing being set in Austria, but Jae-Ha, the hero, has awesome cheekbones and I love him being mean to that secondary girl with glasses who came tostalk interview him. He is all high-strung and temperamental before a concert, yay. The heroine is amazingly adorable (I confess in most Korean dramas, much as I love the hero, it’s the heroine I fall for) and has clearly had the childhood romance of OTP with the hero on some island (but the secondary girl seems to have had one to, so I guess boy Jae-Ha was just one big tease. Hmmm. Why is one childhood love better than another?). The one annoying thing is Daniel Henney. His looks don’t appeal to me (he is prettier in stills) and the fact that he keeps speaking English. To Koreans. In Austria. Is a bit mind-boggling. He is not good at acting, either. But I will definitely watch more of this.
Just to get my Vic Zhou fix, I rewatched a little bit of Mars (I swear, certain parts of that DVD are worn through) and it’s just as amazing and wonderful and heart-breaking as ever.
And I also watched episode and a half of Delightful Girl Chun-Hyang which is LOVE and which deserves a separate post of its own. And ditto on Temptation of the Wolves which is what every teen movie should be.
Saw two movies in the theater this weekend: The Prestige and Borat. The former was an unrealistic bore-fest (the central conceit was just…no, I cannot suspend disbelief in that fashion) and the characters had no inner life of their own or any realness but acted as puppets pulled by the screenplay.

Date: 2006-11-20 08:55 pm (UTC)Er. Happy ending where his hair is not ridiculous, aka Devil Beside Me
ROFL. I confess Love Contract killed me. I was crying too hard to see. I remember thinking after DBY that I'd love to see him in something angsty but I really shouldn't have wished for that because LC, last two eps? Are murder.

But yeah, they are together and happy at the end (and are just shown to be that way explicitly).
It just...I am still puzzling over what to make of it...

This actually sounds interesting and makes me want to watch it more. Thank you for the offer - I am just happy to know that everything will be good at the end.

Date: 2006-11-20 09:25 pm (UTC)It tries doing certain art-housy things and has some unusually lovely visuals that really stay in my mind: the images of distortion through acquarium (LC has a theme of water as menace/savior running thoughout: Mike He's character loves water as much as Ariel Lin's character fears it and water plays into the finale a lot), the image of people between bars of light when they chat on the computer, the image of painting and distortion to conceal (whether happy as when Ariel bodypaints Mike or desolate, as when she puts stamps all over her face). With the ending, I think the director was going for artistic as well but just confused me (and a lot of people it seems). I'd like to know what your take on it is...
The other way LC is odd in is that the OTP story is amazing...it's haunting, and romantic and hopeful and broken all at once (Feng and Ken are two of the most lost souls you'll encounter in a dorama, especially Feng) and with psycho chemistry (I really want them to do another drama together and LC features my most favorite dorama kiss). But there are also side stories about the friends which I really recommend fast-forwarding through. You are not going to miss anything storywise, and they drag the story a lot (if this focused only on Feng/Ken, it could be as good as Mars, IMO).
Basically, LC has flaws, but in some ways, many ways, it's one of the best doramas out there.

Date: 2006-11-20 09:40 pm (UTC)All I can tell you is that after the first episode, as with 90% of ALL doramas I watch, I was not sure, but each consecutive episode that I watched made me fall in love with it. It totally grew on me, and yes I marathoned it over about 4 days. It's just one of those dramas that doesn't have a big romance, it doesn't have probably 80% of the things you like in dramas, but still it's amazing, and you don't really see just how amazing it is until the last three episodes, when everything that has been growing all along suddenly comes to fruition.
I know you've read it already, but here is my NwP Episode 1 review, which I wrote after seeing the whole drama twice. It was only in retrospect that I was able to appreciate that ep as much as I now do.
And btw, one of the reasons that a lot of Yamapi fans love him so much is because he acted SO different as Akira. He stepped outside of everything that he'd done before (and even Kurosaki is more similar to his previous work) and created a truly singular character. I thought he was drunk at first, but in the end what I discovered is that Akira was the truest to himself, and the most balanced and sane person in the whole story. Kame won a best actor award for Shuji which was totally deserved, and if not for Kame, that award would have gone to Yamapi.
Try to be patient and let it unfold before you - maybe you will be surprised. :)

Date: 2006-11-21 12:50 am (UTC)I really do hope Akira stops freaking me out as much though. I am still at the 'get away freak' stage. I think he is a lot freakier than Nobuta :)
no subject
Date: 2006-11-20 10:22 pm (UTC)I just did this,too, but I found it fairly interesting. Will watch more.
Yamapi's character seemed extremely flaky, but he offered a nice contrast to Kame's character who appeared to be much more outwardly controlled and even annoyed when someone challenged the role he was playing at school.
Mike He looks very nice from the pics, but I'm still waiting for my Devil Beside You DVD set to arrive, so I won't make any judgments about him before I've seen him in action :).

Date: 2006-11-20 10:47 pm (UTC)You read my post on Spring Waltz right? Because as much as I loved Daniel Henney for his earnest portrayal of the Ideal Hot Doctor Who I Hope To Find and Ogle While on My Hospital Preceptorships, I could not abide by his performance in "Spring Waltz". I also got absurdly distracted because he would be speaking in German to Jae-Ha who would respond in Korean and it made me ponder why a Korean man who understands German would be responding in Korean, and then I would lose sight of the dialogue, and have to rewind. "Spring Waltz", for all its flaws, has many excellent moments. I like it a whole lot more than "Winter Sonata", probably because I felt it was more interesting in terms of location and plot. Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang is bloody awesome. I love that the two leads manage to convincingly play these characters from high school all the way through adult age. Of course, the rival for Choon-Hyang's affections bugs me much in the same way that Sae-Hyun from "My Girl" does, but I figure that the writing team couldn't do THAT much with a centuries-old myth, you know? Prince Turned into Frog is...well, okay, look, it's silly, it's quirky, but is really dancing on that line between cute and cheesy. And um, yes, I did stop watching because I am incapable of finding any member of 183 Club attractive. Seriously, F4 >>>>>>> 183 Club, any day.
Nobuta wo Produce grows on you. I didn't like Akira that much either at the start of the series; frankly, he scared the crap out of me. But then you realize that he is, uh...special. No, really. You and I tend to have fairly similar drama tastes in that we both enjoy the OTP/romance genre a lot. I have to say that NwP is probably one of the few non-OTP dramas (excluding the troubled students/awesome teacher genre, i.e., GTO, Gokusen, Dragon Zakura, My Boss My Hero) that I really, really love. Again, it takes a little time to get into. If you've been watching a lot of kdrama or twdrama lately, getting back into the groove of jdrama can be a little rocky, because of just how different the genres are. I noticed this when I was going from watching Tatta Hitotsu no Koi to an episode of Smiling Pasta, and I thought, "Good lord, what is with all the cartoony smiling? Oh wait, right, twdrama. Okay." I'd give NwP a shot for at least a couple of episodes, if only for Kame and Yamapi, being funny in school uniforms.
Mike He's recent dramas have been kind of hit or miss for me. Express Boy was okay, but I have to agree with
no subject
Date: 2006-11-21 12:47 am (UTC)frankly, he scared the crap out of me
That's my reaction, right now. It's sort of if this kid went to my school I'd steer really REALLY clear of him. But we shall see.
You are right, it's really hard to switch back and forth. I've been watching a lot of Kdrama lately (but before that, I was watching Pride) and the vibe is different. I must confess that despite Pride being my second favorite dorama ever and my mad love for Kurosagi and Forbidden Love, in general jdrama is my least favorite of the three (kdrama, twdrama and jdrama). No idea why, maybe because it's shorter.
I am compiling a gigantic post on Delightful Girl Chunhyang which I can tell is going to be my next thing.
Re: Spring Waltz. Read the post so yeah. I really like the tone of it, so far. We shall see...I am watching NwP and DGCH first though.

Date: 2006-11-21 02:14 am (UTC)Akira evolved from being one of the weirdest characters I had ever seen on TV to becoming one of my favorite drama characters ever. His character really grows on you--you find out exactly why he is the way he is, and god love him, Yamapi does such a great job with the role.
I am very psyched for your Choon-Hyang post. Seriously, these two are one of my favorite kdrama OTPs, because they kind of remind me of one of my favorite anime OTPs of all time, Ranma and Akane from "Ranma 1/2". They bicker! They tease! They fight over stupid things! They are incapable of communicating like adults! But then, these two actually manage to grow up throughout the course of the series. It's great to watch, because even though you see them both mature, they're both still the same characters at heart.

Date: 2006-11-21 04:50 am (UTC)Yes. We went to see it last weekend. I laughed a lot (and cringed some too).
The best thing about both of those movies were the trailers. I am very interested in seeing The Fountain with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz (I love RW and while I don’t get the fuss about HJ, I like him well enough). I am dying to see Apocalypto. I don’t like Mel Gibson, and I have no idea if the movie will be any good, but I am so interested in seeing Mayan Civilization on screen. It really is like nothing else I’ve seen before.
yes, Yes, YES! Mel Gibson's involvement with Apocalypto worries me, but it looks gorgeous and I want to see it!
just hope it's not a huge, pretty, disappointment like "The New World"The Fountain looks intriguing too. I'm sorry to hear "The Prestige" wasn't better, because I liked the sound of that one. Hopefully we'll manage to catch "Casino Royale" sometime over the holiday weekend. My son saw it yesterday, and he said, yes, it's much different to the campy style we're used to--but he loved it.
