Couch Potato: Mashed

Gener week means cable TV day, mashed version compared to last week's lineup.  I was not happy with what Red offered. It was a two out of five for me.

L I K E  Y O U  K N O W  I T  A L L

- I don't know it all.  I didn't get the point. I'm no artist.

W A L K I N G  M Y  L I F E

- A heart breaking or warming story about a man and how he lived his life until his end. Not for the faint of heart, a major tearjerker movie.  I recommend you watch this film.  Nobody is perfect, some people might think your life is ideal but it's not.

P I C K  T H E  Y O U T H

- Don't let the poster fool you.  It's not that great of a movie yet I believe most families go through this kind of situation.  Parents do tend to take control of a youth's life even if you're forty years old.  I didn't get to see the finale, if you happen to see it kindly tell me how it ended.

H E ' S  O N  D U T Y

- This made me laugh but not that much.  The movie shows the life of illegal foreign workers at South Korea  with a comical twist.

L O V E  C O M E 

- A repeat for me because most of the other movies sucked.  I needed a sure win so I ended up watching this again.  A movie about first love and finding the right love.  This is the feel good movie  that saved the day.

B R A V E

I'm including Brave on the list; Matt, Lhen and I found time to go to the movies last Saturday.  The animation was of different level, best I've seen so far.  Story wise I didn't like it.  Matthew didn't like the bear angle of the story as well.  Besides that, Matthew had fun watching the movie as it is with the slapstick humor and all.  Often comparing it to Brother Bear during the screening it always prompted me to tell him to lower his voice.
The movie pretty much reminded me of Ghibli. The small light thingy reminded me of Princess Mononoke's Kodama tree spirits and the witch reminded me of Spirited Away's Yu-Baaba.

Bookas (pop version): The Jinri Experience

Since Sunday is gloomy as any other day this Gener week, laziness won over the Jinri experience book signing event at Robinson's Galleria. Alas there is still no skipping grocery duties. Lucky enough the local grocery store managed to offer me a copy of the Magazine that I sought after. National bookstore was a fail   and I never thought that Daily Supermarket of all places would have one; that was a surprise.

I'll be presenting a glimpse of some on the pictures inside; a POP (Picture of a Picture) view if I may call it, wow I just made that up. I'll make POP part of the title, hehehehe.

The picture book was not bound by glue or anything, it was simply stapled like a regular magazine;  I liked it more that way so as if you want to make a poster on some of the pages you can easily do so.  The title was positioned on the lower right giving it a little disadvantage on some magazine stands.  Arranged in a rack, some might cover the title up; I guess the publishers had their reasons. The picture book was covered in plastic for protection yet it can be easily damaged if mishandled.

Unexpected find

The front and back covers are glossy and thick; the remaining pages were matte but still used an Oslo type paper strength.  In short, what I'm trying to say is, the quality of the picture book justified its price.

Is that her butt?  You want to know? Buy one!

The content was not what I expected it to be.  Don't get me wrong the pictures were more that enough; I just thought that it would contain more descriptions, write-ups or what not.  Then again I maybe demanding what was originally not to be expected.  The book content were merely picture captions and comic bubbles both in English and Korean.

Captions: Some are in Korean :P

bubbles

Now the juicy part is the collection of Jinri's pictures.  No question the collection was worth it; Jinri in matte paper (no glossy finger smudge effect) was a brilliant idea.  Below are some of my POP.

My personal favorite

Buy a copy now! That is if you can find one. Great job people!
