I finally watched Blade Runner - director's cut - version last week. I liked it alot, although i think I may have prefered the book to the movie. Although it was a worthy adaptation.
When I have time Imight even do some writing, like a review of utada's new album or on the film Zoitochi or something...meanwhile - who wants to see Azumi? its a bad japanese samurai film- but the lead chick is hot, but lacks in facial expressions and the villians are the most amusing crazy bad evil-doers you will ever see - they are also fairly stupid (making holes in their hands or doing weird stuff infront of the camera and ruining perfectly good sentimental death scenes). I think i'll see it again hehe.
Is anyone else confused as to why Jessica Simpson feels the need to do more cover songs - and more bad video clips where she looks all innocent yet she creates a sexualised image of her self with her flowing blonde hair and pouty lips? And why, OH WHY does she feel the need to do a cover of the classic Robbie Williams song "Angels" (which seems to have become a karoke favourite of many people and of the kids on Aust Idol)? I kept wondering throughout the first half of the video when the hell they were gonna pull out the fairy wings for her, because this video was like watching a babyish stage play that a prep student may have put on(except with jessica's oh so sexy breathy vocals and coy smile). To me it just sounds over done and she's just singing it for the hell of it. I didn't feel any emotional connection to her rendition of it, it lacked the emotion and life experience needed to pull off that song.
Playlist for the nighttttttttttttttttttttt:
utada - let me give you my love
Houston - I like that
Guy Sebastian - out with my baby
Ciara - Goodies
starsailor - four the the floor
And whatever else i heard today that rocked my socks off!
