Hmmmm

Coming out of the elevator from B2 in Plaza Singapura, when I heard this woman exclaim

"Don't go in! It's going down!"

Time Again

Finally caught this movie after a grand total of 0 people decided that they want to watch it.

IT'S A KOREAN DRAMA FFS! WHY DOESN'T ANYONE WANT TO WATCH IT?


But that is digressing. The feeling after watching this movies was mixed.

Wicked, Sick, Interesting, Crazy, Fucked Up! (in a good way), Fucked Up! (in a bad way), Mind Fucked.

SPOILERS START

Notice the numerous fucks there? Well seems the 2 leads were pretty intent on screwing every chance they got anyway.

But still it was interesting in the way the female lead was messing with the male lead (who for once, did not die of Kimchi poisoning). What was even more interesting was the way the male in turn messed with the female. And the deliberateness in which the story was cut.

SPOILERS END

It's not a show for everyone though, so be warned if you do want to catch it. I did find it very interesting though.

Irony 101

Army camps now rigorously check for camera phones. But they seem to have forgotten about checking for cameras themselves.

Nintendo's little secret

A friend asked me what DS in the Nintendo DS stands for. I thought it was Dual Screen, but apparently it issn't. In fact no one seems to know. Then it hit me. This was Nintendo's little secret (see what I did there?)

The DS stands for Damms Sony.

The whole handheld is called the Nintendo DS. Put the whole thing in and it starts to make sense. It reads Nintendo Damms Sony!

But wait! There's more. Nintendo then came out with the next handheld called the Nintendo DS lite.

Due to the Japanese propensity for pronouncing the letter "l" as "r" as in instead of

I'm so lonely.

they will say

I'm so ronery.

Thus the lite = light = right.

The Nintendo DS lite thus becomes Nintendo Damms Sony! Right!

It all starts to make sense now. It was a curse by the executives of Nintendo to curse Sony and end their domination!

And thus the DS outsold the PSP, while everyone is lauding the new Wii, the PS3 is looking at very bad reviews.

And now you know.

I just need to go figure out what the Wii stands for now. Or maybe it was just one of the bad days at Nintendo Naming Center.

I want to fly

Next movie I'm lusting after

Time

Thought it was going to disappear into the abyss created by the Singapore censor board when it didn't appear in cinemas when it was supposed to, but now it seems to be back!

Anyone wants to up?

Everyone can play the drums and piano.

With some help.

I want me one of these

The convienient truth?

After the Iinconvenient Truth, I asked people to make their own conclusions.

This gives the other side of the coin.

So who is lying now?

Buy buy buy!

Wifi Spray!

Horror movie of the year

Not the dour Grudge 2. Rather it's something much more sinister. It's The Inconvinient Truth, staring Al Gore (who as he so nicely puts it, was the next President of the United States)

But what's so horrifying about a documentary? I mean there are not ghost, no monsters or anything remotely terrifying.

Wrong. It's terrifying because it's real. Seeing the rise of carbon monoxide levels and consequently the tempreature levels is scary. Seeing whole glaciers gone is scary. Seeing the apathy of people is the worst. Seeing the current administration calling him a crazy environmentalist freak is mind blowing.

I couldn't tear my eyes off like in the best horror movies. I watched in rapt attention despite wanting to close my eyes and run away from it all. But I couldn't. It was helped that Al Gore has an obvious stage presence as well as good speaking ability plus he has done the presentation a thousand times at least.

All in all, it's a good watch. It wakes you up. It brings reality to you. It shows you the inconvinient truth.

But can you handle the truth?
