WHO'S THE HOTTEST MEME DAY NUMERO NANA
Uhhh, want to give me some
anonymous holiday love?
I always say I'll try one of these things but then I never do, so I'm trying it because it's actually a really sweet idea and I always love writing under peoples' threads for these things anyway.
DAY NUMERO UNO | DAY NUMERO TWO
DAY NUMERO TROIS | DAY NUMERO FOUR
DAY ( Read more... )
Never seen that James Franco pic before, but god, it's pretty perfect.
If you've seen these, feel free to ignore, but I have to make sure people have watched them!
-Memories of Matsuko
This movie is a lot of things, depressing is one of them, but not just that. Masterpiece, must-watch, and several other things that begin with an M.
Flawless cast, flawless director, flawless soundtrack. m(_ _)m
-The King and the Clown
In my top5 favourite movies ever, in the whole wide world ;~; If it doesn't break your heart into a million pieces, come ask for compensation! It's sad and beautiful and GET THE FUCK OUT LEE JOON KI WITH YOUR PERFECTION. He's the only korean actor I stan, and this movie started it all.
*goes to sob in her corner just thinking about this*
-The Ghost Theater
This movie is not depressing, but it's awesome and you'll have the soundtrack stuck on your brain like a hungry leech for the rest of your life.
(...I hope you like musicals, btw .___.;; )
-Soredemo, boku wa yattenai
You've probably watched this one already, being a Kase Ryo fan and all, but it's 100% depression anyway. T_T
-Seija no Koushin
This is a drama, not a movie, but if we're talking "just rip out my heart already" doom, destruction and bleakness, this is right where it's at.
There's absolutely NOTHING going well in this drama. EVERYTHING IS INJUST AND EVERYTHING HURTS. Nojima Shinji had MAJOR issues back in the 90's. =____=;;;
If you feel like wiping out several rainforests' worth of tissues, go for it.

That's totally my favouritest James picture ever and I was 1) saving it for closer to the end and 2) worried people would be all the fuck so I hesitated using it at all but you're right, it's pretty flaw-free. <3
OMG. THIS LIST. Y U SEW COOL? ;A;
The only thing I've seen on here is soredemo and parts of tkac. Memories is intriguing me the most here though and if I can find it subbed, I shall dl or stream this weekend once I'm done with my finals because maaan those sort of movies are for me. Ghost theater looks hella quirky and fun And I Love Musicals so don't you worry, lol. As soon as I read "just rip out my heart already" I knew Seija was meant for me, and idekw I love depressing stuff, it's not that I'm a depressing person myself but it's the heavy sort that really get to me and affect me after I'm done so this sounds perfect. And if anything can make me cry more and longer than poodle's asuka e? I'll be impressed. |D;
I totally re-watched soredemo last month though and I wanted to shoot myself in the head afterwards for doing that. I forgot how angry and sad it made me. ;.; And as for the king and the clown? Long story short, my cousin loves that film like I've never seen a person love a film and she's been urging me to watch it for at least 2 years now, lol. I've seen clips and portions of it when she'd re-watch it for the billionth time in front of me but I've just never gotten the chance to sit down and watch it properly. And I really do want to watch it too but I think I've just sort of forgotten about it so this is a very important reminder. /watching it this week fo sho too oh and yeah FUCK YEAH JOON KI.
tl;dr: Thanks! :333

You did well for saving it, because lawd, I'd barely recognise him, it's from out of this world flds;kf *__*
Yesyesyes, DO IT. I can't stress how good it is, I srsly need to rewatch it myself.
I can relate, I'm totally a heavy/complicated stuff person myself, although not all the time. I haven't watched Asuka e yet (been lying on my hdd forever, gotta get down to it sometime), but Seija no Koushin made me reach a point where in the last 2-3 episodes I was so drained, I had no tears to cry anymore. I was just "c'mon, you sucker, just throw whatever calamity it is you yet have to throw, I don't have a heart anymore anyways you trampled on it so much it's now pulp". And for the record, I all but cry often in dramas.
I don't know if you've seen Ishida "flaw-free mo'fo" Issei in anything, but he's a ridiculously good actor, and his character makes you want to protect him from everything, but the exact opposite happens and dear lord, I'll start sobbing ;~;~;~;
And did I mention NAKAJIMA MIYUKI THEMESONGS? I can never listen to "Inochi no Betsumei" without getting my stomach in a knot. ;^;
TELL YOUR COUSIN HER TASTE IS PERFECT. It's time to fix that omission then and watch it so your cousin can be proud too. XDD No, but really, it's a beautiful film. There's no other word for it. I'm so looking forward to hearing your thoughts when you do see it, you don't even know. :3
Lee Jun Ki is imho, the most perfect specimen of the human race to ever walk on the earth. Simple as that.
tl;dr you're welcome and I hope you like something out of those <33
