Tuesday, November 6, 2012. The Fashion Crisis Doesn't Stop! Že dobro leto je mimo odkar so se Praha Depart. Prvič podali na pot v Evropo in s tem seveda tudi v Slovenijo. Turneja z mojim najljubšim japonskim bendom mi bo vedno ostala v spominu kot eden izmed vrhuncev mojega glasbenega delovanja. Še vedno kdaj za nazaj pogledam fotografije Aleša Rose. V postavi N'toko/Zana/PlankTon in skrbeli za after party v Udarniku. It's been almost a year since Praha Depart. They'll be back in Slovenia this week, play...

Thursday, 27 September 2012. The Other Side of the Closet (Part 3 - FINAL). This is the third part of the story,. Part one of which you can read here. And part two is here. The Other Side of the Closet (Part 3). Aya hid beneath a wide-brimmed sunhat and peered furtively over the tops of her dark glasses as I approached. She looked down the main road in both directions, then grabbed my arm and dragged me down a side street. 8220;Where are we going? The lady noticed me looking and broke off. 8220;Yes, that...

Thursday, 16 January 2014. The Japan Society for Artificial Intelligence and its gynoid servantgirl. Some quarters of the Japanese and overseas media got themselves into a flap recently over the Japan Society for Artificial Intelligence's decision to spice up their rather dry in-house journal with an illustration rather than the usual raw text adorning the cover. Let's have a look at the illustration in question first and see if you can work out what the problem is:. The blank expression suggests a passi...

Plot Shield: May 2013
http://plotshield.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Monday, 13 May 2013. Context is not a myth: Stewart Lee's "Carpet Remnant World", Tim Maughan's "Havana Augmented" and notions of society. The problem with some of these films and stories like 300 and King Arthur. In someone's face and expecting them to get it immediately. Links to this post. Sunday, 12 May 2013. King Arthur, 300, and freedom. The 2004 film King Arthur comes from the stable of producer Jerry Bruckheimer, a man whose cinematic oeuvre has never knowingly overcomplicated an idea where slam-...

Thursday, 8 January 2015. Legend of Korra: Final thoughts. Part way through season three I made a few observations about Legend of Korra and its approach to thefantasy genre. And now it has come to an end I think there are a few things that can be added to my earlier post. WARNING: Lots of spoilers in here, so don't read this if you get upset by that sort of thing. Firstly, my ambivalence regarding the superficiality of its facade of Asianness remains. The conclusion of Legend of Korra. References that a...

Plot Shield: August 2014
http://plotshield.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 3 August 2014. Legend of Korra: the perils of making fantasy "relatable". There are a lot of reasons to really love Legend of Korra. Years Legend of Korra, like Avatar: The Last Airbender. Before it, is also refreshing compared to a lot of American TV for its basis in non-European culture and ethnicity. And yet is it really? The world of Legend of Korra. Now I'm being a bit unfair here, I know. That the show even deals with the issues of governance and flaws in democracy at all is a sign of i...

Sunday, 22 June 2014. Artists and the machines of death: The Wind Rises (2013) and The First of the Few (1942). Hayao Miyazaki's The Wind Rises. In watching The Wind Rises.

Similarly, when we first meet Mitchell in The First of the Few. The First of the Few. Is essentially a propaganda film, while The Wind Rises. The First of the Few. Which references the Schneider Tro...

Wednesday, 5 November 2014. Shooting at Japanese women with bamboo rifles. However, if you haven't had the joy of watching him at work, his advice for winning the hearts of Japanese women is basically to shout "Pikachu! At them, then grab their heads and shove them into his crotch. At the end of the video, you see him doing it to a few clearly very embarrassed girls while bystanders look on with uncomfortable expressions. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
