I might have just wandered off sooner, but I'm just coming off a situation where I'd drained my "to watch spindle" bone dry. So it was more a question of not wanting to waste anything now that I've got my reserve built back up a bit.
And as I said. I didn't hate Beach Boys. I just couldn't find anything to care about in it.
As for hating shows... I have a few that I've stopped watching before the end. Shows that I hated so much I won't even find space for them in the filing cabinet with the rest of the collection.

Edit: Generation was actually Revolution
Me too.
I never liked any of esumi Makiko's series (overtime, shomuni) and thought that Love Revolution would change all that coz of its high dorama rating... Never happened though, i stopped watching this series at ep2.

Yeah, normally, i get sucked in, even if its bad and i can predict whats coming, this just didn't catch my attention. Ill finish it sooner or later, but yeah, it has been moved towards the bottom of my dvd pile.

Weird thing is I liked her in Shomuni. But there was so much whining and backstabbing going on by the main characters in Love Revolution that I just couldn't take too much of it.
They seemed to try to do with the reporter character the same kind of thing they did with the playboy character in Batsu Kare (although LR came first), he's a lovable rouge at the beginning, and a good guy at the end. But Batsu Kare made that type of character at least a little lovable at the beginning, and Love Revolution just made him a jerk.
Have given up on LR and am now trying Yamato Nadeshiko.

Normally I like this sort of mindless, fun in the summer sun, coming of age, buddy show type stuff. And I like just about everybody in the show.
But this show has left me cold. Bored.
I guess I was in the mood for a "Local Hero" style of miandering, meet-the-locals show. I wasn't fond of the first episode (and probably the second episode either...I don't remember), but I did begin to enjoy it in the middle episodes. I guess it doesn't hurt that I'd be satisfied to watch a 45-minute episode of Inamori Izumi just standing there breathing. :inlove:
And I wanted more out of the end than I got.
But it did help me enjoy the in-jokes in shows like GTO and Dekichatta Kekkon better.
I suppose. Then again, aren't chick flicks supposed to have a love story? Unless of course you're talking about the under lying sexual tension between Sorimachi and Takenouchi.
Oh, and significant of nothing other than my need to stick up for the girls I have crushes on... I'm a big Esumi Makiko fan. I loved all of Shomuni. And with the exception of the last ten minutes, Overtime is one of my all time favorites. And her work in film is exceptional.
And I'm also more than a bit smitten by Yonekura Ryoko.
But I have to admit... I've seen a few scenes of Love Revolution as I've been downloading and encoding the first three episodes... and so far there don't seem to be any monkeys in that barrel.
Bottom line though... All a director really has to do to keep me happy is to point the camera at either Makiko or Ryoko, and press record.

Total agreement. :D
I'm very curious to rewatch Love Revolution with subs: my first viewing without the subs failed to impress me, despite the star power and high review numbers.

Nope, just eye candy. And those boys fit that bill. ;)

BTW a Tip for viewing SHota No Sushi. It is meant to be watched an episode at a time, not straight through. Amusing but tad repetitive if viewed that way. And I adore sashimi! :yippee:

I loved the poster for "Ima Aisatsu ni Yukimasu" in the background of the fist episode pf Shiawase ni Naritai.
I'm not sure if I can stand the series yet (Fukada comedies are a tough sell for me), but I laughed out loud at the dialog of Koi no Tsumi, Koi no Batsu, and I'm enjoying the more realistic portions of the drama-behind-the-scenes parts of each episode that I've seen.
I'm rewatching the 11 Eps of Kinpachi Sensei with Ueto Aya in it. I'm happy that i got these Eps, its a really good drama :mrgreen:
Hopefully I'll be able to see the entire drama and the special that goes with it :fingerscrossed:
Will watch Ganbatte Ikimasshoi Ep 3 when it finish dling
Watched the first 3 episodes of Pure which is very good so far. :thumbsup:
Wakui Emi from Virgin Road is charming and Takahashi Katsunori was so handsome when he was younger. :victory:
not that he isnt handsome still. :hehe: :hehe:
