I've been bored lately watching etalk and guess what shows up? This advert for Paco Rabbane's perfume, 1 Million. It's stunning to say the least. Normally, I don't get entranced by perfume ads but the guy is too smoking hot to not notice!





ETA: Searched him up and turns out he's Mat Gordon and he's Canadian!! :D Woot! 
Gah, such a breath of fresh air.

Oh... my... god.
Ohmygod.

OMFG.

I TACKLED IT. ALL 237 MINUTES OF IT.
And it was glorious. Oh so so glorious.

I wanted to go see Sion Sono's new film Love Exposure at Fantasia Fest but when I heard of it, it was the day after the screening. I was regretted not hearing about it before. I searched everywhere for the english subs and lo, behold. I managed to get a copy of it. I was a bit intimidated at first by the running time (4 hours) cause usually long hours means they're filled with useless scenes (I'm looking at you, Jodhaa Akbar >:() Apparently, this story was inspired on one of Mr. Sono's friends who was into spy photography and this friend did whatever he could to save his sister from a religious cult.

But bloody hell, this is THE BEST FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE SO FAR. Those 4 hours didn't feel like 4 hours at all. By the end of it, I wanted more... I was gripping at the edge of my seat. It's a friggin' masterpiece.
Yeah, I know I say that alot but I'm serious. I'm really serious.

I don't know how to define this film.. it's a romantic comedy with EVERY GENRE POSSIBLE. And man, did Mr. Sono pull it off.

Check out the trailer. The trailer speaks for itself.


If you want to check it out, I have it uploaded here.

Yes, it stars one of the guys from the jpop group AAA.

Trust me, you won't regret watching this film. 


ETA: Happy belated Eid :)

Does anyone know how to remove the stupid bar that appears on top of the pages? It's irritating to see on my new layout (prismatic_star ). By the way, I finally updated my spanking profile after all these years of it being 'under construction'. Yay!

Had the weirdest dream last night involving dal puris, the goddess Lakshmi and a $1999 pair of shoes.
Bollywood style.

Yeah, you read that right.

Wow.

Nouvelle Vague is coming into my town on July 31st.

If you don't know who Nouvelle Vague is, you haven't seen the Soulmates krama which had a fantastic soundtrack. Some of featured songs were "This is Not a Love Song" and "In a Manner of Speaking" which fit so perfectly with the storyline... I can't embed the video here but check it out!

This totally made my frown turn upside down.

I'm on a British shows kick lately. Just finished watching Skins (Season One) and that was some good stuff.  It's not my usual cup of tea (you know with all the raunchiness of it) but overall it was damn good. Sid and Cassie were my favourite characters. It's a shame the cast for season one don't appear in the second season except for Effy.
I'll leave you with the cast singing Cat Steven's Wild World. It's very pretty, might I add.
And I'm off to watch Merlin as promised to a friend, sevenses. Wish me luck.

A man who was too proud to be Bad
A man who desired too much to be Good
A man who was too wacky to be Good or Bad


Yes, it's a Kimchi Western, Manchu Western, Korea Western... whatever you call it, it is mindblowing.
Who knew the Koreans were so awesome at making Westerns. I am smitten and I want more.
Plus, you've got two hotties in one movie.
Expect a review coming up on this brilliant film.

Wild wild Manchuria, baby.

 I've come across another gem lately. Normally, I don't watch animes because... I'm getting old for it. Of course, there's nothing wrong with watching anime when you're approaching the early twenties. I enjoy good stories. But all the gags and stereotypes seen in anime gets old. You start wanting to see people in flesh and blood. And you start realising that the extreme otaku culture out there is... creepy.

I mean, this Ontario guy built a robot wife to take care of him and of his other ah hem necessities. He claims he's 'too busy' for romance. Yeah right. Why not make a granny robot then eh? Pffffft.

Oh, and this is just waaayy too cute. I wish I did that in my elementary school.

Anyhoo, what is this gem I'm talking about? It's Kuroshitsuji (The Black Butler) by Yana Tsuboso. It's got it all. No bullsh*t romance. And hilarious comedy.

So what exactly is great about this butler, Sebastian Michaels?Other than the obvious, he's an expert in domestic affairs, martial arts, perfect knowledge, manners, et cetera. He has to be since he serves one of the most prominent aristocratic families of England, the Phantomhives. The thing is... his master is twelve years old.
And Sebastian's the Devil.

Yup, you read that right; In exchange for his 'services', all the heads of this family must give him his soul. Oooohhh, I love Faustian contracts.

In terms of wackiness, it's similar to Gintama but Gintama is wacky in of itself. The manga still retains its own wackiness, Yes, there is subtle hints of BL in there but it's tolerable. BL is not the main focus (Thank god!  There comes a time in your life, you want actual plot than crappy stories meant for pleasing your hormones).The comedy is fantastic, there has been many scenes where I laughed out loud, especially when concerning the supporting characters (The gramps is my favourite). You'll grow to love their faults. The main character is not whiny, a major plus. He's probably the most mature twelve year old I've ever seen. After reading this, you'll wish you made a deal with the devil to have a butler like Sebastian.

Without spoiling too much, I'll just say the author knows how to write and entertain her readers without making it seem repetitive. She's done her research on the period and wow, it's really well done. The art is very nice on the eyes. Another major plus.

That's the manga stuff. The anime is going really well. :D



Oh come on, he's rather an interesting character okay? How much do I have to sell to ya to watch this show??  And it's not as dark as the video above makes it seem. It's outright hilarious, trust me.

Still don't believe me?

Watch this then.
