Some Movies I’ve watched….

Waterboys

Sialan… Nyesel banget gw baru nonton film ini sekarang. Padahal taun 2002 gw lagi mabuk2nya nontonin festival film.. Film ini sempet ada di Jiffest taun itu…
Ceritanya soal para bocah SMA yang tergabung di klub Synchronize Swimming… Satu kota ga ada yang dukung… Kecuali satu Okama Bar.. Huahahah… Mama-san.. kocak banget… Pokoknya cerita ini anak SMA banget deh… Dari depan sampe belakang bikin pipi pegel gara2 ketawa…

Ga bakalan nyangka kalo Hiroshi Tamaki akan jadi lelaki keren kalo liat perannya kaya anak kampung di Waterboys…^^ Parah!!

Ceritanya berlanjut ke doramanya… Lumayan lucu lah… Atmosfernya masih sama kaya movienya… dan beberapa tokohnya juga masih muncul. Sayang Waterboys 2 nampaknya mengecewakan… Belum nonton semua sih, tapi kabarnya kaya cuma ganti pemeran doang tapi inti ceritanya sama. Gw beli dorama ini cuma mau liat ceritanya (walopun pesimis) sama mau liat Teppei ^^v.. Jeh!! Perannya jadi banci ternyata...

Cast: Hiroshi Tamaki, Satoshi Tsumabuki (Movie)
Eita, Takayuki Yamada, Mirai Moriyama (Dorama 1)
Koike Teppei, Hayato Ichihara, Keita Sato (Dorama 2)






Kiiroi Namida (Yellow Tears)

Story of four artists (a mangaka, sketch artist, novelist, and a singer) pursuing their dreams… Pokoknya film ini intinya ga semua impian atau cita-cita bisa kesampean… Dan mungkin lo emang jenius, tapi karena nasib mengizinkan lo jadi pekerja kantoran biasa… Ya jadilah lo pekerja kantoran biasa… Dari 4 tokoh disini yang akhirnya nerusin cita-citanya cuma si mangaka. Yang lain malah took a steady job, at least they don’t have to sell their clothes to pawn shop anymore… ^^

Cast: Arashi membaaa… Nyahahaha… Makanya gw nonton… ^^. Cuma di movie ini Matsujun terlihat agak lelaki… (mungkin karena pengaruh munculnya bentaran hehehe…)
Gyaaaa… Sho-kun dengan kacamata ala Potter ^^

Honey and Clover battle
Okay… I’m a major major major major fan of Honey and Clover anime. Both seasons. It got great storyline, more mature too, beautiful drawing, and awesome musics. So, based on the greatness of the anime, I fully anticipated the live action J-Drama. Oh, wait, I have to mention about the live action movie too.

Righty.. I’ve watched the movie about two months after the anime series. And from an anime magazine in my country, I see the cast was actually quite promising. Well, at least from their looks.

Honey and Clover battle!!!
Anime vs Movie vs Dorama!!!!!

Story:
Hands down… the original anime wins!!!! The movie and dorama butchered up everything good. Everything as in every single thing…
The anime series got complex story, double love triangle, self searching, reaching out your goal… Every youth problems their hopes their dreams, failure, heartbreak… God this anime’s great!!!!
In the movie it came excruciatingly absurd because you won’t fit 32 episodes in just practically an hour… too bad…
The dorama, even though I didn’t have a high hopes in it, it turns out quite entertaining… Not too sappy, not too lame… Just okay…
Winner: Anime series!!!!!!! ^^

Characters and casts:
Morita Shinobu
(kyaaa Morita-san daisuki!!!!):

Iseya Yusuke
Narimiya Hiroki

A genius, free spirited, goof ball 7th year art student. My favorite character on the series.
Movie: Gyah!! Turns out Morita-san in the movie is quite a hunk!! In fact he’s too handsome to be Morita. Too manly in my opinion. Morita look like a class clown, yeah he’s not bad too look at, but he’s just a regular guy… This guy waaaay too handsome to be Morita.
The Morita character in the movie was also waaay off… He was depicted as this player who doesn’t give a damn about anything… Morita character became so mean in this movie.

Dorama: Gyah!!! (in a different tone) my deepest apology for the actor and the fans (including me)… Yea, I’ve said that Morita is just a regular guy, but I also mentioned that he’s good looking! This guy way off to be Morita. Hiroki looks like 'orang kampung' here...
The character came close to the anime tho… Nice!!! But this kind Morita is too artsy for me. Come on, he wore flashy shirt with spray paint on it… Morita wear a regular shirt, a solid blue, or white shirt – in some episode turns out that he also wore Mayama’s shirt…
Winner (anime Excluded): Dorama!!!! Sorry cute guy.. I have to be honest I like dorama Morita better.

Takemoto Yuuta:

Sakurai Sho
Ikuta Toma

Your average boy next door. The kind who will always overshadowed by the greatness of the people around him. A good regular boy, innocent, nice, kind, timid… An average boy that you can relate to any of your friend, even yourself.

Movie: Bravo!!! Bravo!!! This guy IS Takemoto!!! (exclude the fangirlism aside) He’s not handsome, not bad either. Look a bit of an idiot sometimes, but don’t average human do? Oh, the minus factor, is that Takemoto was having a job as Akaimafura Neko… That’s supposed to be Morita!!!

Dorama: Toma is too sweet to be Takemoto. A bit too soft, stylish and girl-ish to be him… Oh yeah… This Takemoto also a bit too genki in my opinion…
Winner: Movie!!!!!!

Mayama Takumi:

Kase Ryo
Mukai Osamu

A love sick smoking stalker!! The more mature one on the bunch. He’s like an older brother to all the student characters here. Have a major crush on his older boss.

Movie: Quite good… Just a bit too skinny.
Dorama: Too young, too skinny, I don’t really like this Mayama… It did not brings up his stalker side towards Rika, nor his possessive – older brother – way to Ayumi. Well, the movie was not either.
Winner: Hmmm… hard too choose… Emph... Movie..

Yamada Ayumi:

Seki Megumi
Harada Natsuki

A pretty girl who turns out to be a good drinker also. Her family owned a Sake store in local shopping district. All the second generations the district adore her and want to marry her. She's in love with Mayama and can’t cope with it… She and Morita were like brother and sister, in my opinion, actually they would be great together. But well…

Both movie and Dorama have great Ayumis… Great!!!! The only thing missing in the movie was the Ayumi Kick!!
Winner: A tie!!!!!!

Hanamoto Hagumi:

Aoi Yu
Narumi Riko

A genius artist who doesn’t speak much. Too short for her age. Looks like a koroboku… An Ainu dwarf or sumthing like that said Morita. Loves Morita, loved by Takemoto. Ayumi’s best friend. Moria’s rival in art. Have a deep bond with her uncle, Shuuji.

Movie: This girl is sooooo cute… She looks too young to be a college student, but isn’t Hagu looks too young also?

Dorama: This girl also pretty, but she doesn’t resemble Hagu. She’s too tall and was not cute enough… She’s pretty, but not cute… And she seems too independent…

Winner: Movie!!!!

Hanamoto Shuuji:

Sakai Masato
Murakami Jun

A lecturer in the university. He’s quite young often took as a student. His lounge was used to hang out by his students. Loves his niece Hagu so much.

The Shuji in movie came quite close, but still looks too old… and did not have the craziness about Hagu. In the Dorama he’s too old and did not too-possessive toward Hagu.
Winner: Movie!!!

Nomiya Takumi:

Kashiwabara Takashi

There’s no Nomiya in the movie. The depiction of Nomiya in the dorama is quite great. Well, in appearance, I thought he was Yamazaki, but later on, this character seems getting better… Nice!!!
Winner: Dorama!!!

Music:
Anime

It got Suga Shikao, Spitz, Suneo Hair, The Band has No Name, Yuki… A total greatness…!!!!! Awesome music for an anime. Every songs (opening, ending, insertion) capture the moments perfectly. There’s no anime on the line that could mixed music and story as good as this one… Hundreds thumbs ups….!!!!!
My favorite on the bunch is Sorosoro Ikanakuncha from Suga Shikao.

Movie
Great!!!!!!!!!! Classical, pop, MOR, mixed in to one album… Great… Tho not as great as the anime, but not bad…
My favorite on the bunch is Scooter by James Wendt

Dorama
At first, I’m a bit disappointed with the lack of music in the dorama. As ending drawing nearer, I heard a familiar voice. Hirai Ken!!!!!!! Gyaaaaaa!!!!! Best Japanese male singer… Super graeat!!!! Hirai Ken – Canvas.

Winner: Tie!!!!!!



I LOVE HACHIKURO!!!!!!!! ^^v
Pensiun Sebentar Dari Dunia Per Film, Anime, Dorama......

Gw beli buku ini gara2 kovernya lucu... Setelah ada sekitar 2 minggu dirumah, baru hari ini dibaca (untuk menghilangkan kebosanan dikelas Psikologi Komunikasi dan dosennya yang cinta pada diri sendiri).

Siapa sangka kalo ternyata Snow White itu diracun sama 7 kurcaci??? Gara2 apa??? Gara-gara makannya banyak.. Si kurcaci2 itu sampe rela ngebayar berlian dan nyuruh orang yang udah desperate banget buat nikahin si Snow White dan membawanya pergi dari rumah mereka. ^^

Siapa yang ngira juga kalo ternyata Red Riding Hood itu nikah sama serigala yang pingin makan neneknya??? Trus ada juga cerita tentang ksatria yang diusir sama bokap karna Gay... Seriously... Gay Knight??? Not gay like Okama or Boy George gay.. But more like Kinomoto Touya gay... Dang it!!

Gara2 cerita ini gw jadi nyengir2 sendiri dikelas... Hehehheheh... (biasanya tiap minggu gw pingin bunuh diri dikelas ini). Mesti cari yang bukan terjemahan nih...

To Kill A Mocking Birdnya jadi agak tertunda... Hehehe.. Sori Din...

The Book of The Long Lost Things cukup memuaskan dahaga novel fantasy gw, setelah Abarat... Ah.... Jangan sampe kecanduan buku gw kumat lagi... Buku mahal soalnya...

Treasure every moment you have

To understand the value of one year, just ask a student who fail the university entrance test
To understand the value of one month, just ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby
To understand the value of one week, just ask the editor of a weekly newspaper
To understand the value of one hour, just ask the lovers who are waiting to meet
To understand the value of one minute, just ask the people who missed their stop on the train
To understand the value of one second, just ask the person who manage to avoid an accident just in time
To understand the value of one tenth of a second, just ask the person who ended up with a silver medal at the Olympics

Bury the Hatchet
Ah... Mungkin bener ya...
Akhir2 ini gw mikir kalo 'hmm.. Gimana kalo (knocked on wood) tiba2 sesuatu yang ga gw inginkan terjadi??'
Lalu mulai lah pikiran untuk patched up what I've left in a term of relationship... Jadi setelah dapat masukan semangat dari rekan2 bisnis *wink wink* mulai langkah kedepan...

But it seems, my good deed was misinterpreted..

Well, maybe some things really meant to LEFT UNSAID. the subject wasn't ready, or maybe its just my egoistical mind to barge into someone else's life... For that, I terribly deeply hountou ni sorry.

Daijooooobu!! Hito wa Hito, Jibun wa Jibun...

Okay... This is getting out of control... REALLY out of control!!
Para ahli berkata,
First step to cure addiction is by admitting that you have one....
Nah... Nah... Nah...
I really can't help it not to seek these guys' pictures and/or movies...

Sho Sakurai from Arashi

You've seen the group somewhere on the earlier post...
Arashi's one of the biggest group in Japan.... Managed by the biggest boyband supplier from the country. (Perhaps maybe like Contoh Management here... Waaaait... Does Kitagawa Johnny = Benny Simanjuntak??? O.o)

Dan seperti yang kita tau... Japanese Boybands are famous with their BISHOUNEN (cowo cantik... Ya... cantik, no Typos and no brainfart also)... Mkay... Among his teammate, Sho-chan itu yang paling... PALING laki dari semuah.... Can you believe it?? PALING LAKI????!!! That pretty guy is the manliest!! Heheheh...

Masih nyari lanjutannya TOKIO~Chichi e no Dengon... Dimana ya???

Lalu... Ada lelaki ini.....
Narimiya Hiroki

Enggak ganteng sih... Entah kenapa suka ngeliatnya.... Padahal di Honey and Clover gw hina hina... (Shinobu gw jadi aneh begitu!!! Ngeselin!!!)... Currently Watching Stand Up!, one of his Dramas with Ninomiya and Oguri Shun... And I can't stop laughing at Nino's "e~eh" ^^

And This guy also...
Mizishima Hiro

Finished Zettai Kareshi couple of weeks a go.... And of course... Nanba senpai in Hana Kimi...

dan tentunya....



I admit.... I'm addicted to PRETTY GUYS... And I'm loving every second of it....

I've Got To Get Going


Somehow, I've stopped caring, and I ended up skiving off all morning
When I make transparent excuses, I get way too depressed
There's the bag of potato chips that she ate last night
And the beer I drank while watching TV just lying there on the table...

I think it's these cloudy days, although I'm mulling over all kinds of stuff

My family tells me, "At least give us a call"
Even though I don't really have anything I can talk about
My girlfriend often tells me, "This is boring"
It'll be noon in a few; I've got to get going soon

When I open the door, the cold air grabs tight hold of my ears
With my hand still on the doorknob, I try sucking in a breath
That starving dog I passed by looks over at me and barks out a laugh
To the point that it looks intentional, my white breaths coil around me one by one

When the weekend comes, will some stuff get a little better?

My girlfriend asks me, "Do you love me?"
And I can never give her a good answer
My friends tell me, "Don't look so surly"
I've had enough of sighs; I've got to get going soon

Everyone tells me, "Grow Up!"
Forget about dreams that I can't even see for my self
Like it's my catchphrase, I tell them, "Sorry"
Enough with the excuses. I really have to go

24-sai no yokusoku
My hands clasped together say something
'If you dash out I may just be on time'
So it’s Bye-Bye to the me of yesterday
Who’d stand at the convenience store, reading magazines.

The sounds of the street that I dash out onto
Sound like cheers

The Sakura bloom in my heart
Those yet nameless dreams have started to grow
Don't look back because there's no tomorrow behind you
So I shall head forward

In front of the station, someone’s singing
That was your favourite song
No matter how far away I go, it definitely won’t fade
That’s why it’s not a parting.

Someday, I hope the two of us will meet by chance
At the place I’m dreaming of.

The Sakura bloom in your heart
Like small buds, shaking around.
I hope you won’t give up now, or feel down
Because I’m singing

The future and all keeps changing
I’ll change it and show you

I take this one step out right after the call, “right dress!�?
It’s the result of the battle—black and white
That’s why I’d like to let you know the key to living
It’s the power to get hold of even a hazy mirage
Sow the seeds now, the flowers will bloom
Talk about it after you’ve done it, we’ll still know what you’re talking about
That’s it, It’s all about keeping up with time
In spring, big flowers will bloom

I’d want to run into you, for sure

The Sakura bloom in my heart
Those yet nameless dreams have started to grow
When I turn back to look, it’s not tomorrow that’s behind me

Move forward! Move forward!!

Ketemu!!!!!!!!

XDDDDD

Setelah bertahun tahun saya mencari kesana kemari tanpa satu petunjuk pun, akhirnya saya diberi pencerahan oleh salah satu friend with benefit saya… Pokopen-chuaaaaaan daisukiiii!!! Hontou ni daisukiiiiii!!!

Kenapa saya segembira ini? Karena setelah lebih dari 10 tahun mencari saya dapatkan apa yang saya cari selama ini… (halah mengulang kata cari)..

ANIMORPH series!!!!

Kalau kamu kenal baik dengan kuh, pasti kamu tau seberapa gilanya daku dengan serial ini. Animorph and me goes beyond Harry Potter series and One Piece manga… Dari mulai SMP kelas satu kalo ga salah gw mulai ngikutin seri ini setelah bosan dengan buku2 Enid Blyton dan serial Goosebumps yang endingnya bikin sakit hati, namun masih mengganggap diri saya terlalu muda untuk beralih ke Fearstreet… Gw ngikutin buku ini dari nomor satu sampe nomor terakhir yang diterbitin Gramedia sebelom dicancel nomor 23. Adapun beberapa yang yang hilang sewaktu saya masih belum menghargai kepemilikan seperti sekarang.

Anyhoo… Mulailah saya membaca karya K. A. Applegate ini. Temanya science fiction, adventure, action, fantasy and a little bit teenage romance drama. Jadi ceritanya, bumi di invasi oleh mahluk luar angkasa berwujud keong, Yerks, yang kerjaannya nyusup ke kuping orang (dan makhluk hidup lain yang berkuping tak terkecuali alien lain) dan menjadikannya host (btw, terjemahannya induk semang -- buset kaya’ koskosan ya??)

Nah, sekelompok anak SMP (SMTP, SLTP or whatever…) sadar kalo bumi telah diinvasi alien gara2 mereka ngeliat cahaya dari langit jatuh di abandoned construction site dan ketemu sama alien jenis Andalit namanya Elfangor yang ternyata semacem panglima besar di planetnya. Nah si Elfangor ini ngasih mereka kekuatan untuk berubah bentuk jadi hewan apapun yang mereka sentuh… Dan kekuatan ini digunakan untuk ngelawan si keong dan ally-nya (Hork Bajir yang kaya mesin gunting rumput namun pemakan tanaman, dan Taxxon yang kaya lipan, dsb).

Pokoknya serial ini menceritakan gimana perasaan anggota animorph itu berubah jadi hewan. Ada yang menyenangkan kaya jadi burung atau lumba-lumba, ada yang anggun kaya jadi kucing dan harimau, ada yang serasa jadi robot kaya waktu jadi semut dan sebagainya.

Dari serial ini gw baru tau kalo semut itu hidupnya dikendaliin sama ratu semut, dan ga ada semut yang punya pikiran sendiri pokoknya menurut deskripsi buku ini, semut itu adalah mahluk sosialis komunis berat dah (fakta yang sungguh bertentangan dengan cerita A Bug’s Life)… Dari serial ini juga gw tau kalo Killer Whale itu juga di sebut Orca (mungkin dari bahasa latinnya Orcinus orca)

Sejak di cancel Gramedia, saya sibuk mencari lanjutan2 dari seri ini, namun apa daya selalu pulang dengan tangan hampa. Beberapa kali daku membuat kotor jendela QB bookstore di beberapa pusat perbelanjaan karena melihat serial ini (dengan bahasa inggris) terpampang apik di etalase sambil berliur. Saat itu saya tak mampu beli.. karena harganya sebuah Rp75,000, adapun uang jajan saya sehari Rp1,000. Satu-satunya harapan adalah ketika Lebaran tiba… Dengan segenap hati mengumpulkan uang salam tempel untuk beli buku berharga ini dan cuman kebeli satu edisi doang T^T.. Pun itu ga nyambung sama buku yang terakhir terbit disini (longkap hampir 10 buku).

Semasa SMU (SMA, SMU, SLTA… Whatever you call it now), saya sempet menemukan serial ini yang telah diadaptasi kedalam serial anak2 di Nickelodeon US, starred Shawn Ashmore (sebelum ngetop jadi Iceman di X-men trilogy) dan satu tokoh lagi yang main di serial Joey, jadi keponakannya Matt LeBlanc. Tanpa sengaja nemu VCD bajakannya di Mangga 2, satu CD ada 3 episode (FYI, terjemahannya busuuuuk banget, bahkan mendingan saya yang terjemahin deh). Cuman ada satu CD doang, abis itu saya nyari lagi sampe goblok ga ada yang jual…

Saya bahkan beli game Sony PS-nya (masih PS 1, buset kemana PS gw yak???) dan bisa tamat 17 belas kali saking demennya sama serial itu (salah satu game favorit saya sepanjang masa, seri sama Musical Rhapsody, Harvest Moon dan Wall Climber).

Tahun demi tahun pun berlalu, tak terasa saya sudah kuliah tahun ketiga, ketika salah seorang teman mulai membicarakan serial ini lagi… Ternyata ada juga orang yang baca serial ini selain daku… (sampai terharu). Bahkan dia bersedia meminjamkan saya beberapa edisi Animorph yang ternyata fotokopian dari buku aslinya (bayangin sodara2 POTOKOPIAN!! Macemnya diktat kuliah!!!). Beberapa edisi tersebut cukup untuk menghilangkan dahaga akan serial ini.

Sekarang, saat saya udah kerja… Teman kuliah saya bersedia ngedonlot-in serial ini dalam bentuk e-book pdf, beserta beberapa buku tambahannya. Side story kalo mau kerennya. Padahal dulu sampe ampir gila daku ga nemu2 buku ini…



Saya cinta Internet!!!!

Decay



You could’ve said a word but you turned away
Why do you always act such a passive way?
Now don’t you ever think that I would suck up to you
But I still believe in you

When I was given freedom, oh all I did was flee
When I turn back there was nothing to see
You closed your doors before I could open mine
Now I know, now I see, it was a waste of time

The days go by, you never seem to learn to fly
And all you do is find the reason why
And all I wished for was for you to face your dreams
I still believe that you can fly

When I was given passion, oh I tried to cool it down
Till I found out, I couldn’t say the words I wanted to say
You are the sun to lighten up my shadows, saved me
And never let it go

The days go by, you never seem to learn to fly
And all you do is find the reason why
And all I wished for was for you to face your dreams
I still believe that you can fly

There’s no way I can talk to who you were ten days ago
Cause you are who you are now

When I was facing reality, I lived in fantasy
Till I put it aside in the space between you and me
If only I could reach the voice in the water
Take me there, it’s gonna be much better

As days go by, we all need to learn to fly
If only I didn’t care about the reason why
And all I wished for was for you to meet my dreams
I still believe that we can fly

I’m just waiting for you to stand up to it
What are you waiting for?

You could’ve said a word but you turned away
Why do you always act such a passive way?
Now don’t you ever think that I would suck up to you
But I still believe in you
