a very long engagement

another great work by jean pierre jeunet, director of amelie

is this movie i just saw...

absolutely loved it... it had the quirkiness of amelie, but it had just a li'l more depth and complexity to it.

you would have loved the set design as well -- the color scheme and look is different, but it has that surreal and dream-like feel like amelie does.

here's the trailer...

speaking of great set designs, i've been catching some episodes of this on hbo.

absolutely love the set and costume design... not since mad men have a seen such great effort in the details. you'll love it.

the introduction even has a magritte feel to it.

try to catch it :)

two stops over

*clap*clap*clap* to twinpopbro whose uber cool show is coming to us this november.

details here.

reel vignettes

i know you've been doing really *inspired* set designs...

so i thought you'd really like this recent event of elle decor in LA...

where interior designers + set designers created vignettes inspired by movies/TV shows.

some were pretty straightforward like this...

the others will take a lot more guessing...

can you guess what these were based on?

(these were movies...)

(these are tv shows...)

check out the whole feature here.

tres cool !

modern family

move over glee, here's my new fave:

modern family.

(lemme know if you want it, i have the first season in my itunes)

design for life

waaah!

i know that if you were to join a reality show, you'd probably join this...

this was always my dream reality show...

until i watched a couple of episodes of this:

LOVE IT!

i wanna join...

mad design

traded the books for the whole first season of mad men.

this has got to be my FAVORITE set design ever.

mid-century without the kitsch.

it's the same look i'm trying to achieve in our bedroom (naks)...

yun lang :)

"bessy"

not to be outdone by puge, here's bessy's first tv appearance last week... hihihi.

funny how ninja-in-shirt looks like he's about to hit bessy.  i hope it's not ominous!
