ruined. by happiness.

someday that seat will be filled.

david : he sounds great. why didn't you marry him?

elise : because of you. 
i'm not some hopeless romantic and 
i would never allow myself to be that way.
but once i've felt, even for a moment, what i felt with you,
you ruined me. i didn't want to settle for less.

david : i know the feeling.

the adjustment bureau. i love that movie.

a parallel universe.

yup. my kind of scenery. 

"...when you develop an infatuation for someone,
you will always find a reason to believe that this
is exactly the person for you.

it doesn't need to be a good reason,
taking photographs of the night sky, for example.

now, in the long run, that's just the kind of dumb,
irritating habit that would cause you to split up.

but in the haze of infatuation, it's just what
you've been searching for all these years..."

- the beach by alex garland.
still one of my favourite books and movies.

oh marion.

it's not exactly the best movie ever, 

but the dialogue is gold, trust me. 

 
it's not the biggest surprise on earth
that amongst all the traits that i enjoy,
sarcasm and comedic timing are #1.

that also applies to movie heroes.

forget about suave and muscles
and nicely tailored suits, gimme
a movie hero that is bloody hilarious.

and 'snow' from the movie 'lockout' is one.

here are some of the stuff snow says;

guy : who was the mystery man on the phone?
snow : his name was fuck you.
guy : really?
snow : yeah, he was asian.

guy : i don't like hurting you, snow.
snow : is that why you're having him do it?
guy : i can have rupert bludgeon you all night.
snow : i'm being beaten up by a guy called rupert?

girl : so what do i call you?
snow : you know what? don't call me.
girl : what's your name?
snow : snow.
girl : snow?
snow : yeah. or sir. you can decide.

and my personal favourite;

girl : who are you? who sent you?
snow : your old man did.
girl : my dad. what did he say?
snow : well, i didn't get to meet him personally.
he kind of delegated your rescue.
he had a big conference on the corn surplus.
girl : you're kidding me.
snow : no, no, apparently we should all be eating more corn.
girl : about my father!
snow : oh yeah, i made that other bit up.
girl : did he have a message for me?
snow : yes. you're adopted.

and there's more in the movie! please watch it.

salah spot.

i'm a huge fan of alien flicks
and monster flicks and robot flicks
and anything to do with earth's invasion.

but the thing is, i realize that perhaps
earth may not be the best place for them to pick.
simply because we have so much crap going on.

i mean, if you think about it, if you're gonna
start a new colony and rule a new world,
you'd probably pick one which is less crappy right?

why pick a place where we have pollution la,
crazy people running around killing other folk la,
strange weather happening here and there la,
people who cant live without phone apps la,
people who cant live without drinking fancy kopi la,
and on top of all that, there are lotsa other species
targeting the same spot, like godzilla, the decepticons,
the dark elves in marvel comics, aliens from star trek,
the minions from despicable me, etc, etc...

cam ramai kot yang sebok nak serang dunie ni ha.
pastu kalu da bejaye le kan, tetibe kene takeover plok
masalah duniawi, seperti GST and rege tol mahal.

so there, earth would be the last place i would invade.

seriously.

over.and.over.

it's the start of the weekend here!
and you know what this means,
lots and lots of watching movieeesss!

now, since i don't go out here like the
way i do back in kolumpo, i hafta rely
the flicks that i already have.

and luckily enough for me, i'm just one
of those people who can just watch the
same thing over and over and over again.

so here's a list of my 10 over and over movies;

 1. ratatouille
 2. just like heaven
 3. die hard with a vengeance
 4. the day after tomorrow
 5. a knight's tale
 6. the fast and the furious franchise
 7. prince of persia
 8. you've got mail
 9. constantine
10. the lord of the rings trilogy

so what's YOUR over and over movies?

oh scarlett.

finally watched “lucy” last night.

now, don’t get me wrong, i think scarlett johansson is super slurpy,
and i am a huge fan of science, technology and the human brain,
but this movie just leaves me more baffled than most flicks.

so I have 10 questions in my head after watching it;

1. i know k pop and samsung and kia are fantastic products,

but having koreans come up with the best drug in the universe EVER?
perhaps i ought to have more faith in my fellow asians.

2. if the premise of smuggling is to cut someone up and stuffing

things into people’s stomachs is valid, does that mean the best way
to smuggle stuff is to swallow everything?

3. wouldn’t it take people weeks or even months to recover from
minor surgery? if so, then how come we can shove people
into long haul flights immediately after cutting them up?

4. after the super drug kicks in and we’re able to increase

using our brain capacity to 20% overnight, how come we stop
having feelings? if so, is being de-sensitized really worth it?

5. i know that morgan freeman is the host in that fancy science show

on tv, discussing things like the future and creation and other theories,
but taking on THIS role with THAT ending? shame on you, morgan.

6. calling up your mom (who you haven’t contacted in a while)
and saying that you can still remember how the taste of the
breast milk was, is a really, really, really creepy thing to do.

7. having said that, calling the (before mentioned) mom to tell her

that you remember how fuzzy the cat / bunny / dog felt when you
were a baby is acceptable. and a less creepy subject than breast milk.

8. so once we’ve gained 100% brain capacity, then the thing to do
is to sit down and go back in time, right up to when dinosaurs were alive?
how about using it to cure cancer? or how to make yummier pizzas?

9. so the ultimate computer EVER will be accessible through a simple thumbdrive.

i’m sure the people at kingston will be super happy about that.
but why not manifest itself in something cool like those screens in ironman?

10. once we have achieved the ultimate realization,

then the end goal is to be “everywhere”.
yup, just like germs and cat fur blown in the wind. thanks.

oh well, at least there weren’t any aliens involved in the end.

THAT would’ve been the icing on the cake.
 

you're my good boy.

this is why pets can be the best thing
that has ever happened to you.
off the wonderful bolt movie. go watch.

please oh please dear god.

read-worthy. watch-worthy. drool-worthy. 

a probable not-so-well-known fact about me is;
i am super fascinated with the dark american history
of black slavery and their civil rights movement.

so, for all us movie-lovers in this country,
we all know it has been an absolute rubbish year
it has been for movies (name me 7 great movies?)

please oh please salvage our movie year,
all that fuckery shown on screen so far,
by making sure 12 years a slave comes to cinema here.

...please oh please dear god.

1st thing on their calendar is regret.

i love this movie quote;

"...only i'm 10 years too late.

why? because while i've been working so hard
i've missed out on all the bad dates, and the arseholes,
and now i'm running out of time.

noone told me it was a game of musical chairs,
by the time i figured it out, you know, 
forget it, it's too late..."

-  dana, from 'the internship'.

tui tui!

one, two, three.

nice to see despicable me getting the rave it deserves.
always knew the 1st movie was massively under-rated.
i hope ratatouille and the emperor's new groove are next.

yes you do.

"...what if one day you wake up and all your powers were gone?..."

"...then i'll just hafta make the most out of today..."

- off "turbo". i like.
