ようやく、「おくりびと」がイタリアにも上映されてる！
初めてそれを見た時「おくりびとって素晴らしい！」と思った。
そのころ東京にいたので原語で見たんだけど思いがけなく映画の対話をほとんど了解できた。
今回は英語タイトル「Departures」でイタリアにも上映されてるから、もう一度見に行くことにする。
僕の町にはそれを上映する映画館がある！ (=^･ｪ･^=))ﾉ

Some movies are made for success, and no matter what’s your opinion about it, Avatar is indeed a success.
According to The Money Times the movie’s total income is now well over $650 milion, which makes it the top selling film of all times (more than Cameron’s own Titanic).
Naturally, a movie’s success is not only in money it makes, and Avatar has its big share of critics, concerning mainly the script which to many is way too similar to movies like Pocahontas, Dance with Wolves, The Last Samurai, The New World, FernGully or the italian Aida degli Alberi. The more I think about it, the more it seems to me that people just name the first movie they saw whose story is close to Avatar’s. Don’t get me wrong, personally I saw Dance with Wolves and The Last Samurai and I gotta agree, they both are similar to Cameron’s last work, but still, they are also different.
Every filmmaker is by definition someone who loves movies, and every one of them, if asked, will tell stories about how he got into the idea of becoming what he is by seeing some old movie he still loves. Cameron himself was so amazed after seeing Star Wars in 1977 that he decided to enter the film industry.

Finally there’s an official Wordpress application for Android phone, available on the Android Market. It’s strikingly similar to the wpToGo app that I blogged about last month, so maybe they bought it and modified it, no idea… anyway it’s a good one.
You can read about on the official website: WordPress for Android or in case you’re too lazy to go there, you can watch the following video.
At the moment there’s already been an update, so you’ll get 1.0.1 version which should fix some minor bugs.
Just testing out the android application Post-Bot.
If you can see this, well it means the application works, and I’m writing from my Motorola Milestone. \(^_^)/
And if you are reading this, means that the other applet works as well. This one is called wpToGo and it’s definitely better, lets you add some basic html tags and also add tags to your posts.
I’m obviously talking about android applications that help you update your Wordpress blog. There are probably more, but so far I checked only these two.

Since this new blog is still new, I’ll take some time to explain what is the small cat holding a golden coin you can see over the logo in the middle column.
In Japan that is called 招き猫 (maneki neko) and it litterally means beckoning cat, or welcoming cat. In the present days it is just one more clearly recognizable symbol of the japanese culture and traditions maybe, but its origin goes back in time. Supposedly it originated in the late Edo period (1603-1867) but the first documented evidence is dated 1870; by the beginning of the 20th century, the maneki neko was already popular.
