[Buzz] Kurosagi The Movie

Its in theatres on Friday. But not my local theatres.

T_T

But then I can wait...

I watched this 'thing' on the movie and the filming process and stuff. I know Pi is like 'the man' now. Although Jin is more popular in the fangirls area, Pi has more dramas up his sleeve and he is starring in a movie. A movie is certainly a bigger deal as compared to dramas. Somehow, I have that impression.

But the thing is... I feel that Pi is a BIT overrated. Now, I don't want to say that he is totally overrated because depending on who you ask, he can be very hot. He has so many dramas and a movie on his resume, he must have something that others don't.

However, as I watch that Jounetsu Tairoku or something, I feel that Pi lacks professionalism, justa bit though. No doubt he works hard. No doubt he is dedicated to his job. No doubt I like him. (Screw that stupid Akira character from "Nobuta wo Produce" for being so endearingly stupid.) No doubt he commands a lot of attention from fangirls.

But I always thought that his tendency to arrive late to meetings and rehearsals is really annoying. I know people like that, and frankly, I hate it. I hate going out with them, but I do anyways, because they are my friends. But frankly, I felt that being late means you don't care about a certain meeting or it shows disrespect. So, depending on the people present at the meeting, I may go late intentionally if the person is expected to be late. But I think Pi's lateness shows that he is a diva. No doubt, he is the star of the group (that is NewS), but being the leader, shouldn't he at least make an effort?

Getting used to him not being punctual just shows how the other group members' feelings are disregarded. Because I am sure everyone hates waiting because time is precious and people would rather do something productive instead of spending time waiting.

Yes, late people are a pain in the ass.

About the upcoming movie. Its set two years from the drama. Kurosaki most probably still seeks revenge for the tragic death of his family members. Then err... stuff happens. He'd probably do Tsurara. What? We all know he wants to.

I liked the drama. Ah the drama. If I don't have so many assignments, I'd watch it again.

Heck, I think I'll abandon my assignments and go watch it now.

Horimaki suggested that Pi crossdress, Pi was like all "No, never, over my dead body." What's wrong with crossdressing?! I mean, Arashi did that, Kanjani8 did that. I vaguely remember Takki doing that. Did he? Jin did that, Kame did that, Toma did that. V6 did that.

I don't like how he seems to pick and choose his jobs. Eliminating the jobs that he feels aren't cool. He wouldn't even smile for a photoshoot. Be professional. His seniors before him did, his juniors after him did. I don't like how he thinks his hot stuff and all. Even if he is hot stuff.

Jun is hotter stuff. Jun crossdressed. He didn't like it, but he did so anyways. I have a feeling the rest of Arashi likes doing it, so I am not going to put them into this argument. xDDD I have a feeling all of K8 liked crossdressing, especially Yasu. Ryo secretly likes it too. Kenken likes it too. xD xD What? They really seem to like it okay?

[TV] Arashi no Shukudaikun - 11/02/2008

Guest: Ichikawa Yui (She's appearing in a movie with Ikewaki Chizuru. I wanna watch more of Ikewaki. I like Ikewaki.)

This is one of those Shukudai episodes that leave you speechless. I don't even know what to say about these people. Really, seriously. Seriously. Okay lets try.

Riida likes Ichikawa. xDDD This is the first time (?) I saw leader putting the food onto a plate for the guests, usually its Jun doing that right? Ah, I don't know, I really don't notice things. And Riida asked Ichikawa to marry him... xD His new hair makes him look so young. Lol. I remember why I liked Riida a lot. But then I like all of them. For me, Arashi is like five-part Lord of the Rings movies. You gotta watch them all. Okay, you know what, that makes no sense since LotR has 3 movies only, so yeah. Moving on.

Nino reminded Sho to do the 'Makushimamu' crap again. xD Nino is the shadow leader, I tell you. He manipulates those simple minded boys into doing things.

And Aiba's new corner. - Aibaland. We are dumbfounded. I think Sho hates this corner already. But then this isn't the only corner Sho hates. *Remembers that corner where Arashi helps viewers with their questions.*

Jun and Riida flirting with the liquid punching thing. Sho's 'Dosun Dosun' crap... Ichikawa choosing Sho without knowing that he's the weakest in sports.

I laughed. A lot. The screencaps will tell the story. 40 screencaps because it deserves that many.

[Movie] NANA II

[Moved from my old blog.]

The second movie picks up where the first one stopped.

Frankly, the second movie sucks. Not only does it suck when it is compared to the first movie. It sucks as a movie, period.

The casting acts as a repellent to fans of the first movie. The first movie was well received by the fans of the manga/anime. I remember the joy of watching the first movie and then go "Oh! Ren!"

NEVER, never change the cast of a well-received movie for a sequel. Even if it is a contract matter or whatever. Offer then more money, adjust the filming schedule, do whatever it takes to get them back!

T_T

I think this is not the first time I dedicate a whole update to complaining about the second NANA movie. I remember vaguely about posting a picture of Nobuo Kyou on one occasion and tainted the face of my blog.

But I am going to do it again. Complaining. I can't help it, watching it fired up my disappointment.

Banyak Spoilers. And I mean Banyak. Hell, I might even type out the ending with their lines, word by word if I fancy doing so.

First problem: One of the title character is changed. They took away kawaii Aoi and replaced her with... some fluffy... person who can't really act.

Then, they took away Shin's relationship with Reira. The whole thing! Reira's actress, Yuna Ito, I can see even in the first 2 short scenes in which she had no lines in, that she couldn't act if her life depends on it. But it would be fun to watch... since Shin is such a pretty boy and Reira is so mature looking. xD I have this mental image of that scene in the manga where Reira was in the bathtub with Shin. I mentally cut Yuna's face and Hongo Kanata's face and plastered them on. It is soooooo amusing, that scene!

There is a third scene where Reira teases Takumi about some Stella girl. She spoke in English. So did Naoki! Naoki is Love, Nobu! I lurve Nobu! In the movie, the manga, the anime, whatever. Nobu is the best!


Takumi is... well, I have always thought that if I had to choose to throw someone out of the storyline, besides all those minor characters, it would be Takumi. But he never left a good impression, until there was "Takumi's story" in volume 18. But still, I prefer others like Nobu, Yasu, Shin, Ren, even Naoki. (manga, manga, not movie, in the movie I would gladly sweep Ren into the longkang and have him washed away into Nile.)

Yasu is <3, I didn't like Yasu in the first movie because he is so old! And Yasu in the manga is more... Yasu-ish. xD I saved the 'best' for the last.

Ren. T_T Nobuo Kyo, the actor for Ren, has really ugly, big nipples. Two patches of deformed nipples stuck to his chest. His... body shape is kinda weird, his abs is full of flabby fat. Ah come to think of it, who am I to complain eh? xD I am kinda flabby too.

Oh well. Eee... I complained less than I thought I would, probably because it is such an old movie. I am deprived of Ryuhei Matsuda goodness, so I have decided that I would watch a movie called" 4.6 Billion Years of Love". Starring... none other than Ryuhei Matsuda, whom I just discovered the other day, is the brother of Shota Matsuda, the guy who played Nishikado in "Hana Yori Dango" series, he is also in "Liar Game". But after about 10 minutes of "Liar Game", I just... couldn't watch it anymore. It must be that it is not my flavour.

Oh well. They added some scenes, omitted some scenes to make the movie end in a 'right' way that is different from the manga's, because... obviously the manga hasn't ended yet. In short, it is a movie that is unworthy of your time, unworthy of your money (if you are planning to buy the DVD), unworthy of attention altogether.

END. *****
