Wow! this movie just came out yesterday. Let's see what I can dig up.

[Click] "Sorry. we are updating our site. please come back in 10 minutes."

[Double Click] WTF!! "Please update your media player to watch this video."

[Blank Screen] "You have watched 72 minutes. Please come back in 52 minutes." FUCK!!.... 52 minutes! Damn those free programs. I only had 15 minutes left to watch...

[Click] "Sorry. This video cannot be found." No wonder the link is rated 78% not work.

When you have no money, you would watch free movies online. That is all I want. How hard is it to see a good movie. Quality, not so worried. How big the screen is, I could care less. The movie not so loud, I'll just blast my speakers. Anything, but pleeease let me watch that movie!!

... FROZEN!! Uploading a movie froze the comp... Damn you, lagging internet!!

Yes. I know I shouldn't be visiting these sites. I can even wait for the dvd to come out so I can watch it legit and in good quality on my big screen TV. But it doesn't beat watching that movie for free. All I have to do is click a link, wait a minute or 2, and the movie will play smoothly on my screen. Well, ok. not this link. And not all those other ones that essentially doesn't work, can't load, or the video doesn't exist.

[Click} "Sorry. You need firefox to watch the media." Hell no! I love my IE. I rather not watch this movie then.

Half the links don't work. The movie isn't very visible. But that site is waiting for me every day. It's waiting for me to go in, click onto a movie name, try one of those links that don't work... all to see a movie for free.

Would I stop visiting the site? Of course not. There is a chance on some days that one of those links would work, and I don't have to wait 52 minutes to finish the movie, proudly using my IE. I can finally see some blurry shadows and hear some voices, get a few laughs or tears, and move on.

[Click] Damn! Chinese Subtitles!!! God, I'm watching an American movie w/ Chinese subtitles. awkward.

BUT it's ok! power to free movies!!!

I love how China and other not so free countries like to band movies or albums from their market, even those from their own countries. Most recently, one of my favorite Korean band DBSK lost their freedom of speech and is banded from singing one of their songs from their new album: Mirotic. They can't perform the song and no one is allowed to sing it publicly in Korea. Why? The lyrics are toooo explicit. Somewhere in the lyrics, if you look at the underneath meaning behind what they are singing, it means they want sex. Was there a single word that explicitly say the word sex, no. Is there a sexual connotation in the song? Probably. But so what! Honestly, its a catchy song and the dance moves are the bomb. Restricting a song means restricting your profits, Korea! 

Of course, none of these things really matter to me here in America. Artists can sing whatever and their albums would sell. All kinds of movies are out there, and no one in America got the government to band any of those movies except for an age restriction. keke... What the hey! You can get anything and everything online these days. In the cyber world, its all freedom of speech and a matter of how well you can search for the naughty something you want. But America is smarter still. They won't stop artists from singing their songs, producing those sexually explicit music videos, and won't band all the movies with naked scenes for aesthetic purposes. We know what everybody in the world does, America just does it openly, and is making big bucks off of its freedom of speech. If China and Korea and other not so free countries are smart, they should really join the band wagon. What's the point of having a movie out and not be proud of it! You could help artists earn more money in your own country and get credit for it! And inside some apartment in Korea, a little girl is dancing to the song Mirotic. I just don't see what's the big deal.  

edit: in the spirit of this weblog, i found this. yes, they seem to be korean teachers.

enjoy!

I just hope to find a place where I can express my opinions and not be graded for it, be yelled at for it, and not lose my job over it. I am known to have a sharp tongue and be opinionated but not necessarily be correct in my opinions at times. I love to make fun of others and spite them with my sarcasm. May be, it is a way for me to feel superior while suffering from an inferiority complex. Perhaps, it's a way for me to get a laugh out of life so I don't get so depressed over how much it sucks sometimes. With that said, I will let my sharp tongue run loose.

I currently don't have a life and am addicted to crunchyroll. Once in awhile, I would check out the music section and see what I can find. Besides youtube, this is the second place where I discover the new and upcoming stars in the asian music scene. With all due respect to the artists and their creativity, but why do they have to come up with such weird names? Today, I came upon the Japanese rock band Sons of all Pussys. They sing rock very well, needless to say, but why pussys? They're aka S.O.A.P. Did they think of the soap acronym first or thought of the pussys part first? Somehow, I think they're emo and love their moms so much they want to dedicate their band name to their mothers, because they are the sons of their mothers. However, they cannot be too girly about it because they are men in a rockband who are vulgar, so instead of "sons of all mothers," they came up with "sons of all pussys." Afterall, all moms have pussys. The acronym probably came second because it's strange for the general public to say their full title. Have you heard of those pussys guys? Hmmm...

Two weeks ago, I saw the band Porno Graffiti. They're Japanese too, but that's not the point. This one, I just can't figure out. Did bands with such strange names find meaning in their vulgar titles. Are they sad, depressed musicians looking for attention? Do they sing about porn and graffiti, or may be a pornographic graffiti? The name definitely stood out to me. The fact that a rock band owns this name doesn't surprise me. As do most rock bands, they probably feel misunderstood and want to let out their emotions through music. So... they decide on a weird but catchy band name to get everyone's attention, make them listen to their music, promote the cool band name and members with scary man makeup that girls seem to fall for (Don't get me started, I can go on forever on this one), and may be, just may be, everyone will like their music. Who cares if people don't like the music, the band members are misunderstood anyway, that's why they formed a band. Seriously, rock bands do not need vulgar names to portray themselves as bad ass. The fact that you have a band name and play instruments and sing angry emo music about being misunderstood pretty much tell all. If they want a cool rock band name with some class added to it, learn from the Americans. I am open to rock music, even heavy metal, but you don't have to use vulgar English words to describe yourself just because that's the extent of your English vocabulary. Look at Greenday or everclear or aerosmith. Not a single icky English word, official or slang, and I love them!

Onto the Korean scene. I love boybands like Shinhwa, DBSK and Super Juniors. I can't say I like the name Super Juniors, and I can't say all the members are talented in the music arena. But after SuJu, that was the last time I heard a good pop boyband name. You got Big Bang. I guess they are so crazy that they will excite you like a big bang. May be the people who came up with the name came across the big bang theory. It makes sense. You make 5 Korean boys clash and bam! You got a boyband. Wooh...not! I still think that certain Asian countries need to expand their English vocabulary to more than big and bang. Then, I heard of FT Island. FT = Five Treasures. Really? F4 stands for flower 4, that's lame enough in my book. When the band breaks up, it's five tore up losers. When I thought it couldn't get any worst, out came 2am and 2pm. WTF! Am i supposed to listen to one band in the morning and one at night? Does one sing fast songs and one sing slow songs? I can hardly get the existent bands straighten up, now I got 2 that sounds pretty much the same. The boys look so similar that I can't figure out who is who in what band. Really, has the creative department gotten so low that it's down to numbers and letters? The band names don't even form whole words, and they don't tell time. I guess they're selling on the boys' good looks and musical talent, not so much the band name. Some Asian girl will say "I love 2am!" The response might be "Why do you like that time of the day?" Call the non- Asians ignorant on this one, but I'm Asian and I don't get it either. Korean entertainment companies are getting a kick out of the booming boyband business, but believe me, they ain't gettin any business from me.

Am I judging a band by their name? No comment. I respect the members and their talent, but if I were in a band, I wouldn't want to be called pussys or an indication of time. But if you find that those names have a nice ring to it, be my guest! You will have  no problem working for a big company like SM entertainment; you have the brains to get the job but you don't really have to use it on the job. If you need ideas, try this one: Fuck for infinity (sorry if you guys like the japanese band do as infinity)!
