A whole full year of YAM~~~ and the holidays are here.
and Award Season is here too!
On this issue we’ve got a special coverage on the Stockholm Film Fest, including a Q&A with Sin Nombre director Cary Fukunaga, and several reviews from the festival’s films like Precious, Up in the Air, and The Cove which will play a big part on the coming award shows… starting with nominations for the Golden Globe this morning ;P
We’ve also got reviews for the much unappreciated Mary and Max, No Puedo Vivir Sin Ti (Taiwan’s official selection for the Academy Awards), Season 4 of Dexter, Family Outing, Sasameki Koto, Les Amants Papillons, and loads of albums including 2pm, Shinee, Rihanna, Crowd Lu and The Swell Seasons.
I have been testing FontStruct, so I began working on a pixel-based font that had the Katakana alphabet — sorry, no Hiragana yet. I still have to figure out stuff, but I felt really happy how this turned out for some of the characters used on the Spanish, French and Swedish languages.
So please, feel free to download. Though I haven’t manage to figure out why the Katakana won’t show on Photoshop. But everything else works! Feel free to use, and if you’ve got comments — Please, be kind xD
This issue marks our first full round, next issue will be our anniversary!
So we’ll be working on that right away!
Anyway, we’re ahead one week! But today is October 8th – We are commemorating (actually, we celebrate) the Battle of Angamos… which we lost against Chile. But we still celebrate. Why celebrate a lost battle? That’s the sadness of our lack of heroes, in my opinion — but you can turn your head and sa… Every lost battle is a winning, or something like that.
Moving on! On this YAM, we’ve got reviews on Inglourious Basterds, Mother, Treeless Mountain, Luck, Honookaa Boy. We also comment on a lot of albums, including G-Dragon, Arashi, Big Bang, Imogen Heap, BackStreet Boys, Olafur Arnalds… and Chang Shilei. Alongside playlist suggestions by more c_music!!!
We are also reviewing Juri Ueno and the Five Bags, Mad Men, and fuzz over some shows this season.
And we’ve got the books back! This time with a review of Cusco Bizarro by Maria Luisa del Rio~
