Yurusare Gyaku Yunyu

“Yurusarezarumono” was the Japanese title for the Clint Eastwood movie, “Unforgiven.” Although I’ve used it improperly in the title of this post, the term, “gyaku yunyu,” means reverse-importing (importing products made by JP companies overseas into JP). What I’m actually trying to fucking say is that a noted Korean director, Lee Sang-il, is directing a Japanese remake of “Unforgiven,” starring Ken-fucking Watanabe (fucking in a good sense).

Go. See. Trailer. Now. (Learn. Japanese. Now.)

How I envision the start of Max and Mina’s Jaeger piloting careers

After all, winning comes after getting schooled:

This is what I thought of when I read Kevin’s comment on my last post.

UPDATE: Adam linked to this video a long time ago. I actually remembered it being somehow funnier than this… So after writing this post, I researched it a bit. It turns out that they had to re-make it with different music due to some stupid copyright complaint:

“They canned the 1st version “work it out on the floor” because they were having some copyright issues…the song was basically a parodied version of “Get? it on the floor” by DMX, I guess they were butthurt that a stop motion animation show made a superior version to their song ^_^”

Luckily, the original version is still up at metacafe (and now lies safely in my archives as well – Max will love this like nothing else): The Original Voltron Gets Served

Testing the WordPress Publicize Function

Since Twitter got hacked a while back, the apps using its API have been refused permission intermittently. Until now, I used a site called twitterfeed to daisy chain my blog posts from my dedicated blog to Twitter to Facebook, but that all fell apart when Twitter security got oversensitive.

So now, I’m going to see how the WP Publicize function works out. Guess I’ll try to post a photo and embed a YouTube video:
