YAM Magazine : Discussing Best Actress Oscar Race with Tom O'Neil and Pete Hammond

Fri, 31 Dec 2010 01:19:44 +0000

No Ellen Page vs. Marion Cotillard was created by the Page fans. Julie Christie was winning half the awards that year, and everyone thought Cotillard a longshot because it wasn't a role in English, but she won the other half of the critic awards. Then came GGs which went to both, BAFTAs which went to Cotillard, and SAG which went to Christie. Epic battle was epic.

btw, did you noticed Marion with her Oscar? It's like the perfect photo, while finding a photo of Bullock thrilled with hers was impossible.

Well, this is Asian mixing with the West. You're completely Korean which only Korean-biased readers read xD

Thanks for the comment, Paul. The Chinese "pop" scene is quite varied and fantastic, more should be able to discover it.

oh, actually... the singer I just showed you worked with Cecilia Cheung in some wacky romantic drama, where Cheung played a famous actress whose phone ends up in a leaking scandal alongside other celebrities. For some wacky incident, people begin calling BiBi thinking is Cheung's character LOL It's a really bad movie hahaha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPyyq3ga1g8 but the song sang by Bibi for it is good xD

Hey, Prisca~ Thanks for stopping by. Yeah, it's a pity we get bombarded by so many bad comedies, when films like this struggle to get passed local distribution. Crossing fingers for an easy home-video transition.

Really rather somewhat excited about the prospect of Chinese films opening the same thay in China as in America. Hope they expand those soon~

Of course she sings (I didn't actually look it up, but she's HK it figures). Re-watched One Nite in Mongkok a few weeks ago, never ever noticed how pretty she was playing a hooker. LOL

You should try Just to Meet You (為了認識你), and Season. Actually her first 3 albums (Who Touched my Violin String, and her double-album) are really really good. I should probably find the time to review them. And you should check this: http://www.yam-mag.com/2010/08/15/interview-with-...

Woah, it's on Netflix? Only knew it was going to open in theaters in a few selected cities from a recent deal between China productions and ACM (?). Heard the stories from Chinese theaters where people left the theater puffy eyed, and still crying. My friend saw it in theaters, and she's usually a crying-wreck! LOL she ran out of Kleenex by the end of the film xD

The story, dummy. The characters, the idea that's presenting. xD Read that people thought it was predictable, others thought it was uncomfortable (because of how it deals with the end). I haven't watched it yet, I'm just trying to read other people's thoughts without trying to spoil much of it. The trailer made it seem like it was the mystery, while Kamikaze Girls was about these girls unique friendship, and Matsuko was about the fall from grace of this woman who kept making the wrong choice in life. Ugh, just thinking about it reminds me of Kumi xD

actually, it isn't about style, or anything technical, but the way it was handled. I don't doubt Nakashima pulls it off visually, considering his background is on CM-making. He actually directed a very stylish Sentai-spoof years and years ago xD it's hilarious. Matsuko is his baby. It's got a heavy style that mixes Amelie, Sin City and Moulin Rouge all together. LOL Planning to review it some time, when I have the time xD

Have an issue reviewing actual Korean albums, because mini-album releases throw me out of whack. It's an issue with listening to half the album one year ahead of the album release, and it feeling like a tired concept.

Have heard people saying this might be Nakashima's weakest film, so maybe you'd like to watch Kamikaze Girls for fun, and Memories of Matsuko for hardcore whack. xD
