part 2

Currently playing on ipod

Here is a title that isn't so hard to do.

----------------
Now playing: Rufus Wainwright - A Foggy Day
via FoxyTunes


like the title? yeah neither do i. It was either that or quantum of solace said with a japanese accent/slang. You know when the average jap speaks english?. Like any english word which hasn't been translated into japanese for official use or the ones where they say it in english but it still sounds japanese. Its like an extra OO or UU sound at the end of it. So it would be Quantum ofuu solace-suu kakaka funny? not? laugh damnit laugh!

Going on. I would like to give a warm and brotherly welcome to the newest member of the pad. Snot nosed, fresh face, bright eyed and pink fleshed little prick ptr.y . Don't let the ah beng fied persona fool you, he has some potential (being modest here) scroll down for his post. Since james is off being a working class hero of our beloved society, he won't be back for another 10-20 years, so look out for him beggining 2018.

*Hurrmmh recipe for disaster*-one female mongolian, one c4 explosive, and a bunch of goats to be scaped

I shall then begin my run on the latest movies and music, the only thing worth talking about these days. Besides the fox. How about politics? You may ask.. But with the advent of the mighty internet everybody has developed an interest, and/or an opinion about najib and the mongolian bombings or even human rights. There are people who make a living out of it and i think its best to leave it to the pros. Plus it gets pretty tiring after a while, and certainly gets you worked up.


Same old same old. How we hope to see change bla bla bla bark bark bark bark woof woof woof. Its what i like to call SOS- same old sh-.... Deep down we wise malaysians (or the unwise) know that if ever. Big mighty IF pakatan rakyat takes over, it would still be the same old sh- Its a bad combination, narrow minded left wing (or right) conservatives, modern umno thugs, and noisy rocket boys. Recipe for disaster. Although i would think that maharaja petra would make a fantastic PM, indeed then malaysia surely boleh. Till then please continue reading...



Day dreams aside. I recently watched Quantum ofuu solaceuu. I remember watching casino royale 2 years back when it first came out. Fresh out of exams that time, it was like no other bond film (bear in mind back then bond was synonymous with pierce brosnan and my it was baaaaaad. He was old, fat and pretty. It wasn't funny, it was more like joke. )

The casting of daniel craig was largely criticized, for him being a blonde and not pretty enough. Even i had my doubts. All was gone when i came out from those swinging doors of the cinema. The song, the girl, the action, the suave, dark, rugged blonde blew me away. Then occasionally you would see it playing on a 60 inch sony lcd tv with the words 'blu-ray' shinning brightly below.

Although by the time i had seen the movie i had already read some reviews, mixed mostly. Some saying it was bad, lacking humour, to much action. Whiny little ****s. I thought it was good. I mean compared to the casino royale you would expect something more (naturally). But i thought it was good, as it continued with the story line of bond taking revenge, consumed and blinded with anger.

*sigh*

Also a bit more dialogue, which is a no no here in malaysia. People already squirming in their seats wondering why are they talking? fight already!. Did i mentioned i saw it in ipoh? Which was a complete ****up. The ac wasn't working, the seat was awkwardly positioned. The guy next to me was either a hobo or a retard. Maybe both. The smell, the smell. Even the cinema was tucked inside the food court. Hooray. Further down the row sat a crazy man shouting to himself. Each time i thought he would finally stop, hoboretard would wriggle in his seat beside me. Why Why why do i constantly find myself in such situations in the cinema?.

Do watch the movie if you haven't. The first action sequence is worth 10 bucks already.

Rufus wainwright. My favourite. Critically acclaimed, but hardly mainstream. Actually he has appeared on a lot of OSTs.

A little background on Rufus wainwright first. He is a singer/songwriter. Has about 4-5 albums to his name, and countless tracks on other movie soundtracks. Has a sort of nasally, lazy voice. Think jay chou but the real deal. Why am i even comparing him to the inferior jay chou? Also he comes from a family of performers. Father was some famed (still is) folk singer. Mother performed a lot also, and so does the sister. So naturally he followed. He started performing at a young age together with his mother and sister, like a troupe. But for the past decade has made a name for himself. I have always thought that some of his songs would make great christian hymns/songs (albeit rather inappropriate, the title 'gay messiah' would start a riot) Forget hill songs, Rufus wainwright would be driving a steam roller over the shouts and screams of Darlene Zschech . But then again music isn't about who is better, more towards personal taste. So i shan't say more.



Forgive my vague and incoherent description of him. Click here for a some what detailed picture. The picture you see above is the poster for the concert. A remake of judy garlands famed night in the Carnegie hall. So he sings while being backed by a 40-piece orchestra. Its the songs of the 50-60s with the big band/jazzy feel. It has been called "the greatest night in show business history" and i can think of no one else could do a remake as well. His voice is versatile, with a good range an control, i would like to think angelic or what would be from a gay angel. From opera to slow love songs, even the occasional fast number (wtf sounds so 5os) He does it so effortlessly. I just adore anything he does, even if its gay opera porn for that matter.

anyways, the sky is getting dark.

i shall bid farewell then.

later.

Eagle eye 2 the call of nature

Its been a while since i last watched a movie. The last was the fabulous batman. Its only worth your money to see action-packed movies in the cinema nowadays seeing that the sound system does gives an orgasmic value. The other reason being that to many crappy movies are being made for a fast buck (fastfoodfurios, anything with vin diesel, lindsay lohan, hillary duff, judd law and those dumb animations, disney has made one to many already) Those kinda movies are what you pick up from Brian's over the weekends. "onnrii ate lollarrs a piiece, i gibb you discount one....rerstt assuuredd mr soonn. Mai lvds arrr off hiyest quarityyy".

Then the minor issues of unwanted extras-Those in the audience who give their 2 cents out loud, and others who make noises which are uncannily similar to those of animals.

In the cinema there are a few unwritten rules..

Rule NO.1. When the movie starts STFU

Rule NO 2. No really when the movie starts STFU.
if you really have to talk...whisper. Even if its to yourself. Or sign.

Rule No 3. The usual, turn off cellphone. No need to put it to silent. Only makes them family jewels vibrate...Plus you paid 11 bucks to enjoy the movie. Not a phone call. I once saw this huge ape violently slamming unlucky ah chong's phone right into his skull because he was talking so loudly. True story.

Rule NO 4. Bring a plastic bag. So you don't need to go to the toilet. But if you really have to, there's always that cup from the guy sitting next to you.

Rule NO 5. The only jeering,cheering,screaming is to be done during the advertisements. Which some argue, are sometimes better than the movie itself.

This is all in accordance with a study done by the CAOM (the Cinema association of malaysia.) in which 89 percent% of those who took the survey agreed.

Now about the movie. I am sure many of you recognise Shia Labeouf, the kid who has come a long way from Even Stevens to become one of the most sort after action star. He is really good. Like many other actors out there. Some who are more talented in fact. The likes of colin farrell, Joaquin phoenix, ryan gosling comes to mind.

But one thing sets him apart from the rest of them. You know like how some people have their own trademark? That one defining characteristic about them? Well the one recognizable trait of Shia Labeouf is definitely his lips. His wet, wet lips. Its rather distracting.... or sexy. Maybe both. One thing stands out though... Its that its really obvious. To me at least it is. You don't see him actually licking his lips in the movie. It would be a carnal sin to include that kinda footage in a million dollar production...


Its true and i am not exaggerating. And NO i do not have some kind of weird fetish involving Shia Labeouf and his irresistibly wet lips. I noticed that since transformers, also that time he was being interviewed on jimmy kimmel.

*double licks*


I know i know its a glass shattering moment. Reality hits.

*pantswheezpants* need...more...exercise....

that being said. i can think of any other person who would play it better. He has this sort of wimpish, desperate vibe he does together with the whole kelam kabutness which makes him more human. Average joes out there can actually relate to his character. All he needs to do more is sss sstuuter. An oscar winning performance i would think.

However the whole plot of super computer taking over is rather unrealistic. Especially when its set in the present day. The level of advancement in AI technology is still at its infancy, I don't see how its possible... but then again so are aliens, the difference is that they actually exist...right?

I was talking to Kuok, i told him if it were to happen here in malaysia. IF. Somehow some super computer launched a cyber attack. It would definitely be the best comedy ever.

In the movie the supercomputer is defeated by them switching off the power and draining the liquid used to cool it down. and finally stabbing it in the eye.

We have 2 options here in Malaysia. Actually just one Feasible one, the other seems crazy. P2P jeng jeng jeng. Everyone downloads simultaneously. Goodbye super computer.

But then it starts uploading its file somewhere else.

Again the public starts uploading. Since streamyx controls the majority of the broadband access, and seeing how useless they are they might cut supercomps upload speed. For once their stupidity works in our favour.

those bags~~under my eyes~~


Part of it is actually inspired by Space oddesey 2001's HALL. Thankfully there is a hot mama (literally) Michelle Monaghan. Then there was the ending.

SPOILER.

In the movie Shia is repeatedly shot when he tries to sacrifice himself. Its that moment when times slows down, camera does the 360 spin around him while the bullets hits his body. Blood splattering out. He then drops on the floor. You then assume he is dead. Which is a good thing. Nothing is more cinema worthy then a hero who sacrificed himself. It adds value to the film.

Its all good. Even if the film had stopped there. It would have been brilliant. Almost magical.

But they just had to spoil it...

Camera then shows the funeral of those who were sacrificed. That they were true Americans, that kinda silly narration which normally happens.

Then we see michelle monaghan finally reunited with her son, who celebrates his birthday together with his friends. Shia labeouf then appears .... Aiy say anti climax betul laaarrr.

You then see both of them lingering around, acting shy an all. Then Michelle leans over to peck him on the cheek. Owh gawrsh... the age difference makes it unbearable.

They had wanted to make people realise their dependence on cellphones and stuff. They had wanted to make the film in such a way that people who had watched it would turn off their phones once they went out of the cinema. Obviously it didn't work as i saw some guys texting in middle of the movie.

Amazing race asia... Such is the fun watching you. I actually cheered when the malaysian team of actress and heiress wasn't eliminated. It was like a cliff hanger moment when the robot (alan wu) muttered his lines....YOU ARE THE LAST TO ARRIVE. hahaha. Retard. He gets paid just standing there and being all pretty.

Also the honorable mention to our Malaysians who very the good. Both actress Ida nerina and her silly friend are a comic relief with their silly antics. And the stars of "the importance of being Earnest" Bernie and her brother.

Then we have the most hated team, all the way from the Philippines... Temperamental filipino boy and silly girlfriend. Put even the koreans to shame, never mind that they were eliminated earlier on. FUN FACT NO 1-koreans are normally perceive as Temperamental, temper throwing bunch. But thats a stereotype really...Although i would like to think otherwise. To many a time i have been proven wrong by korean dramas/ movies .An excellent point of reference b-t-w. Don't let Bae young jun of winter sonata fool you.

Scenario 1- korean girl and korean boy. Both dated. But after their romantic time together aka fornication the girl leaves without saying goodbye.

Scene 2 - both boy and girl continue with their lifes, both graduates. Boy as a lawyer. Girl as a doctor.

Scene 3. Both meet at the entrance of the hospital. You imagine a highly dramatize reunion-hugs kisses and more copulation.

Scene 4. The girl tears up as she approaches the guy... Guy is frowning. Girl bites her lips when suddenly

*slap*

Ya Allah Ya tuhanku.

such is the tough love. True story by the way.


*edit*

Again confirmed by Pop Superstar, Rain. In one of his music videos storms out of his car and throws a hissy fit.


Stereotypes of koreans aside...



One of the ingriedients of success in a reality show is always the drama in it. Human conflict.

ahh how i love it.

Talking about reality tv. MTV's own "The hills". At first it was kinda silly. But i ended up watching the whole primetime marathon T_________T

But after a while it gets a stale. The drama is so overrated, and so unnecessary... Again human conflict makes good television. However Lauren conrads constant emo-ing over how her "friends" screws her over all the time deserves mentioning. The saving grace is that you can stare at her pwetty little mugg for hourss.

Although it isn't really reality, more like pseudo reality. The camera angles and all makes it sorta unbelievable. But a very good way to waste your time on Saturday night or a Sunday afternoon.

Later.

awesome ringtone bro. hahaha
