What dramas are you currently watching?

GalCir episode 10.
1 episode to go!!! :shamefulcry:

:headscratch:

i'm one of the people who don't understand how people can actually cry watching Beautiful Life... coz i thought you'd probably fall asleep first.

on topic:

Water Boys II eps 2... going slow...

fresh fruityboy faces = disaster

okay, Ichihara Hayato and Teppei looks cute, really, and i just love Saito Keita's facial expression. But Nakao Akiyoshi wasn't as good as how he did in Brother Beat. And look, they had a sweetener, fruitygirl Ishihara Satomi :shakehead: . i didn't get the chemistry between them... yet.

I don't see that much of a difference from the 1st one

People call the jokes in Jikou Keisatsu lame? The the jokes in WaterBoysII must be mega-lame. Using some cute boy fall off from his bike and fell into the river, pants fall off while swimming, freakin annoying female teachers that gets to fall into the pool, and bla bla you can already guess what's next if you've seen the first one

It's 12 episodes for god's sake and the real syncro stuff probably at the second half

Same songs from the 1st one

If i don't finish it until saturday night i'll probably stop and watch something else. Heck, the movie is much much better

Unfair ep. 8 :)

Did you actually get an opportunity to see Olivier perform on stage?

No. And I'm still ticked off about it. Between acting, working as a stage hand, or a stage carpenter (or occasionally as a bar tender in the lobby) I've gotten to see some astounding performances.

But as for my favorite... never. I've had to content myself with his films, and the (awful) filmed records of a few of his later stage productions.

I shouldn't say awful. It's important they filmed them. But you can't appreciate a play through the lens of a single, stationary camera.

LOL! ya know, that's exactly how I feel about the sensei. ;)

I saw the first epi of Love Revolution last night and was instantly hooked! Where has Esumi Makiko been hiding?! She's BRILLIANT! I can't wait to get home so I can watch epi 2... and 3, and 4 and 5... :beaten:

Where has Esumi Makiko been hiding?! She's BRILLIANT!

Where has she been hiding, as in; she's not doing enough dramas lately?

Or

Where has she been hiding, as in; you've never seen her before.

Because if you haven't seen "Shomuni 1,2, & 3", or "Over Time" you have been wildly deprived.

As in I've never seen her in a drama before. :pout:

I HAVE been deprived! Luckily, I have Shomuni 1,2 and 3 right at my fingertips! I'll get to downloading them ASAP! Thanks for the heads up! :glomp:

I had never heard of Shomuni but checking the cast, Leo Morimoto, Ken Ishiguro, Sei Hiraizumi, etc. Looks like somebody said, "Let's get every solid male actor, put them all together and see what happens." Plus a young Kyono Kotomi, I may have to check this out.

Ruri no Shima episode 4 (rewatching for the 3rd time)

Love Revolution epi 3. :victory:

just finished kirakira kenshui......
hmmm.....not bad but also not spesial...... :mrgreen:

You mean Kimura is kind of like all the other historical HUGE stars like
Marlon Brando, James Dean, Gary Cooper, Robert Taylor, Clark Gable, Robert Mitchum etc etc. who all suffered from the same affliction - of being themselves in every role.
It's been my experience that greatness comes not from diversity but always being the comfortable same image of that star that makes me want to watch them endlessly. If any of the above greats had varied from what I had come to expect I would have lost interest in them instantly.
For me Kimura ranks with those greats and if he departs from the subtle facial expressions that say so much with so little effort, I would not watch him again. :applaud:

I thought hard about what you said and must beg to differ. You compared Kimura to the likes of Marlon Brando and Gary Cooper. I'm not a big fan of American actors of that generation so I can't give a fair comment on them as actors. However from what I know of them they had charisma, and you seemed to have confused charisma with the ability to act.

For me an artiste is good when he/she fits into different roles and behaved exactly as a particular role calls for. A lot of artistes have been stereotyped either because they fit exceptionally well into one type of role, or because their fans expect them to behave in a particular way.

You have every right to think what you do of Kimura. However please don't confuse your own preference of artiste good acting, because that will be insulting to those who does act well.

For the record I do not dislike Kimura, I just think he is limited to certain roles.

Shomuni is a great show, in all seasons...This is the dorama that let Esumi open up and show her true comedic talent! (and of course a terrific supporting cast)...

Once again, I'm going to ask you what ftp service you use, that you would have all of this show so readily available...hopefully bmwracer won't answer again in your stead!

I'll keep my pie hole shut this time.

runpup, I will answer for Wyn-chan because I asked her the same question a few months ago. it's http://www.national-anime.com/ , a subscription site for $5/month. I used to use them too.

The female regulars are impressive as well...Hosho Mai, Toda Naho, Takahashi Yumiko, Toda Keiko (she did such a great job here), Sakurai Atsuko... To say nothing of a constant stream of guest stars...yeah, Shomuni is well worth watching!!!

Once again, this website farks up on a page transition...

It's been doing that for a couple of years now...
