Now I Have Something To Post About

(Sorry about the glare on the photos and the fact they’re so dull)

I was going to post about DBSK’s comeback, but then I remembered I can’t spazz. I would/probably will post about the Wonder Girls’ fourth ‘project’,  but have no motivation to do so. And I can’t be bothered to post on anything else – plus, my coursework has really pegged my time to wall and beaten it senseless.

But, since it’s my birthday on Sunday (28th Sept) I’ve bought some stuff. And will buy more, because I don’t think my mum and dad have actually bought me anything, because they only know I want CDs but not which ones.

I have a thing that I do every year. When my friends come round they stay over and we watch a film. Last year it was The Producers – Mel Brooks’ masterpiece turned into a musical. This year it was going to be…

Death Note

Oh yea! I found this in my local Zavvi along with The Tale of Two Sisters. I had to choose between them and the fact that Death Note was the two disc edition won me over after about ten minutes of umm-ing and ahh-ing. SUCH A GOOD MOVIE… I’ve only read the first volume of the manga and that’s actually about the first hour of the movie- And even though I knew what was going to happen, it still felt like I didn’t know what was going to happen next. But I had to change my mind about watching it, because I invited Katie – and she wouldn’t do well with all the heart-attacks and people being hit by cars and shot soooo YesAsia began calling… and then I remembered the one movie that I adored from the second I watched it and still didn’t have a copy of…

Lovely Complex is such a bizarre movie. Basically, it’s about a girl (Koizumi Risa) who gets turned down for being too tall and a guy (Otani Atsushi) who’s turned down for exactly the opposite reason! Then Risa falls in love with Otani… after telling herself that she’d never like anyone who wasn’t a similar height. I just love this movie so much – It’s damn quirky. Fujisawa Ema is just adorable as Risa, even though she moves around a lot, and Koike Teppei is just adorkable as Otani! It also ‘stars’ Tamaki Nami as Risa’s best friend, Nobuko.
Other notable things; Kubo Risa who plays Chiharu is just gorgeous and such a charming, naïve presence. The teacher who is never seen in class without some ridiculous wig. And the best of all…. MIATY!!! Kuniumi Maitake, better known as ‘Maity’, is hilarious. I couldn’t help but laugh at his insanely chirpy “Yoroshi QUEEEEN!”, and now my friends will know what I’m on about when I randomly greet them that way!
Awesomely enough, the Japan edition comes with English subtitles… the ones floating around on the web are pretty much the ones from this DVD!
Can’t wait to see what my friends think.

Because Lovely Complex wasn’t dear enough to go over the Free Shipping limit, I got to get other stuffs too. First thing I chose was this

I recently really fell in love with this song. I loved it before, but I do even more so now that I know the dance. Plus the packaging is so pretty. I haven’t seen half on the pictures inside before, other than the promo pics, but I will say that the girls do look So Hot. And because of ordering this I remembered to order this…

I loved every song on this since I first heard it and just had to finally get my hands on the actual disc… My first Big Bang purchase and I truly spazzed when I opened the case and saw how cool the design of the disc is (aren’t I weird?). But the fold-your-own TaeYang thing is creepy and hilarious at the same time.

And the last thing I have to tell you about.

I was “ten-pound-curious” (meaning I spent £10 on the DVD) and bought the American version of My Sassy Girl. I haven’t actually seen the original all the way through, but the bits of the beginning I did see were in this one, just in a different way. So it’s not totally accurate and it’s an incredibly weird story by American movie standards, but it was pretty sweet. I’m not too keen on the ending, for one thing it seemed like she was gonna die – _ – It was a decent watch, but it doesn’t illicit a ‘ZOMG I LUBS DIS MOVIE’ response. Elisha Cuthbert and Jesse Bradford have a fair amount of chemistry at least, otherwise this would have been a complete no-watchy.

Anyway…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME (ON SUNDAY), HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME (ON SUNDAY), HAPPY BIRTHDAY (ON SUNDAY) TO ME. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

ON SUNDAY.
