  • media I love

     Best movie EVER:

    ICHI

    This is available on Netflix, but do not watch the instant one-- it is the dubbed version.  Get the actually DVD and then watch it in Japanese.  Timeless. 

    It is the 2008 adaptation of the Zatoichi movie series based on novels by Kan Shimozawa.  The most recent one in 2003 was directed by and starred the famous Beat Takeshi.  It was good, but this movie is 5 STARS.  Get it, get it now.

     Best new music video:

    Runaway, by Kanye West 

    I loved the live performance he did of this at the MTV VMAs, but this is just... beautiful.  Gorgeous depiction of art with women's bodies that is almost never done in pop-music.  Very wabi-sabi.  Kanye aishiteru!  When is the tour!?

  • 1,000 e-props! Like like like!

    That was beautiful. I wonder if "Black Swan" is aiding in the popularization/ re-birth of ballet in pop culture? I enjoyed this music video far more than the movie... Good come-back Kanye. Now, if you can learn to keep your mouth closed....

  • @Saferia - ha ha ha, right!?

  • I don't really like him or his music but that clip was pretty good.

    Can you dance like that?  Or are you out of practice now?

    There's some little girls that get on my train sometimes and from their hair and their posture, I'm pretty sure they do ballet!

  • @SakataMon - ha ha, I like to think I can.  I still take ballet class, but more as a hobby now than to perform.  :)
