Idabi’s gonna be M.I.A for a while.
Oh doggonit.
I’ll have to postpone my recaps of both Last Friends episodes. Blasted exams are coming around. Oh the horrors! However, to make it up to you, I’ll be back with lots of spanking oddities and recaps.
Lovies,
Idabi
Ashutosh Gorikawar, hire an editor for pete’s sake.
Mr. Director sir, I loved your Swades. I loved your Lagaan.
Jodhaa Akbar, you had potential. But you… you friggin’ crashed out my pent-up energy. I demand you give me back my 4.5 hours of my life.
Don’t you hate when you have so much hype and excitement for a movie but later after its release, you realise that the movie turns out to be a bloody flop?
On the plus side, at least we got to see Hrithik and Aishwarya in the lead after their blockbuster hit, Dhoom 2 (even with the empty plot, testosterone and a controversial kiss between the two). And at least some fanservice for the ladies as seen below.
Last Friends: Sneak Peek
At last! I was waiting anxiously for this drama to come out. No seriously, as soon as I entered my room, I dropped my 20-something kg backpack and ran towards the computer, knocking anything that came in my way. All for Juri Ueno (Nodame Cantabile) and Manami Nagasawa (Proposal Daisakusen).
So what’s the big deal, you say? Last Friends highlights on the problems affecting today’s Japanese generation. Well, not all problems (obviously, or we’d be glued to our seats for hours). From what I understand, there’s a tomboyish girl who falls in love with a feminine girl but there’s a boy who likes the girl who is in love with the other girl but can’t accept her love because he has a sex phobia from a really really angsty trauma in his earlier years. Oh, and the feminine girl is a domestic violence victim.
Uh, I can see you are bilwildered and shying away from the potential angst overload. Admit it.
The intro is quite beautiful even though it reeks of angst. Check it out.
Impetus Fetus Pop Toast.
Holy moe, I don’t know why I am back in this business again. Let’s see where this will take us.
So far most of my blogs has been on subjects of Culture, Entertainment, Music, News and Politics, and of course random and surprising tidbits on Technology.
Including reviews/summaries on asian cinema (Yes, even the filmi 4+ hour long bolly films, thai movies and those korean melodramas) and some bits of music commentaries.
What…? Why are you staring at me like that?
What, a person can’t like those addicting asian soap operas?!
Oh wabberjockees, you’ll fall underneath the spell eventually.
As promised to a friend of mine, sevenses, I had to make this first post a ‘Chang Hui’ from Hong Gil Dong to celebrate my inauguration of Pop Toast! (she was waiting patiently for this—Go check out her blog, her posts are wonderful to read)!
Jang Geun Suk as Chang Hui in Hong Gil Dong by day to whoadrag!Jang by night.
He’s quite in touch with his feminine side.
About Idabi
Clearly I’ve got to introduce myself properly. The last introduction was harsh in my opinion so here’s another failed attempt to describe myself.
I am a Canadian-born Bengali who dropped into the whole spellbinding world of Asian dramas by accident. If it weren’t for my otaku anime obsession, I would have totally missed out on the whole shebang and remain obsessed to 2D pixelated motion. Yarrh. Despite the garbage that the Bollywood industry is spewing out recently, I am still attached to them since birth. It’s sad no? Who knows, maybe the Bollywood industry will do a 180 and go back to its glamour and charm. Whenever that happens, I intend to chronicle whatever catches my interest. As of right now, Asian soap operas, movies, Youtube videos and digg are my sole reasons of flailing.
When I’m not blogging or surfing the net, I could be found stressing out in your local exam room, singing my happy heart out as if I were a cast in Broadway, meditating in your library with contemporary classics on one side while videogaming or just lazying around under a tree.
I’m a champion at lazy blogging too.
What can I say.
