"Another Way to Die" by Jack White and Alicia Keys

Here be the new title song for the next Bond film, "Quantum of Solace" and I say it's not that good. Maybe it's not my kind of music, but I feel it doesn't have the kick of Chris Cornell's "You Know my Name", you know, that "Bond" feel. The one that "Goldfinger", "Live and Let Die" and perhaps "Die Another Day" has. Let's hope the actual movie isn't "not that good" too.

New York: Great Place for Disaster.
Last week... well I was/is still busy for the couple of days back with an assignment I had/am having. So, last week I caught Cloverfield. Alright, I guess. I suppressed my gag reflex long enough to see the movie through. It's shaky, Everyone says it is. Everyone knows it is. A few would crack and storm outta da cinema.
The movie is about a monster that hits New York kinda hard. Why New York? Why? I am Legend (DVD awaits), Armageddon, The Day After Tomorrow... why New York? Prime location? Bah, Hollywood.

I signed myself into Facebook from certain peer pressure a couple of weeks ago. I'm less lost today than I was then. Why am I on Facebook? Even I don't even know.

D'oh in Surround Sound.
A laugh riot. That's the Simpsons movie. I didn't go 20 seconds without a laugh. Maybe there's something wrong with me I don't know. But the movie was good good good. There was a cut somewhere, but you can't really tell. Some parts from the trailer itself are missing from the movie though but they also could've changed the script at the last minute and not use the scenes as seen in the trailer. But the good parts are intact ("Bart's doodle"). I love what Green Day did with the Theme Song.
It's true. It's like a 87 minute Simpsons episode with added 2D CGI effects. But I don't care! Just...just be a fan and watch the movie or reluctantly watch the movie if you're not much of a fan.

If I get my butt down to writing a review (92% of me wants to do so), I'll update this entry,
Review's done. I got it right here.

Meanwhile, we, the class in Fundamentals of Digitial Photography shot stuff at Orchard in the late morning. YAWN. I slept at 2am after the movie. Not very cool. Bunch of friends got a cab and went to Wheelock Place as one. Caught the lecturer on the other end of the building. Got attendance and dispersed. Brought our cameras to the forbidden zone, a.k.a. Takashimaya Ngee Ann City. Caught. Ouch. But we shot what we wanted. Meh!

Why you need a die-hard Simpsons fan working with the Press, or a good proof-reader.
Ooh. Simpsons Movie Article on the Life! (entertainment) papers. Nice. Fact sheet on page 5.
Ugh. I was then appalled and sorta insulted. I'm not the craziest Simpsons fan, but I'm just gonna voice this out for no reason whatsoever. I still like the local press.

First off, they overused the so-called Simpsons font (fussy me).
They got much information wrong.

Under "Homer Simpson": He almost put The Frying Dutchman out of business in the episode All You Can Eat Night. There's no episode by that name. That episode is "New Kid on the Block". I also don't think he scored his job at the Nuclear Power Plant by passing a "specialised training course".

Under "Bart Simpson": "Don't have a cow," and "man!" are not two separate catchphrases. Looks like a typo, since there is a comma at the end of "Don't have a cow,".

The Voice actors section is also riddled with a couple of mistakes.
- Hans (Moleman) isn't a friend of Grampa.
- Grampa has a name: Abraham J. Simpson
- Bumblebee Man's picture is confused with the Fly-Bart from Treehouse of Horror VIII.
- Scratchy's Picture is actually Snowball II.
- Patty and Selma is misspelled "Patty and Selam".

They must have had some bad "Internet Sources". I'll be watching the Movie this Friday. Yay.

All the Potter, without whiny Childrens.
Buncha friends and I made a crazy plan to catch the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" at Tampines Mall at 1210 today. Almost missed it when I ran a fever yesterday. But screw that! I got fine and went anyway. The Plus of watching it at 1210 in the 'noon was the fact that movie experience spoilers are cooped up in school, leaving us with no squeals or "eeyer" the moment Harry and Cho locked lips (which was almost, but not quite).
The movie threw out many pages from the book. The Dudley incident was conveniently summarised. Not all bad. There were changes from the previous movie (mainly the way Sirius's head appeared in the fire [for the last time]). I don't remember Umbridge's decrees going up to 119, though.

(Of course I didn't etch "I must not tell lies" on my hand. Nutters.)

Oh. my. gawd. Alright. I watched Speed Racer when I was too young to understand what the show was even about. But the theme song I'll never forget. I didn't expect this to be a Wachowski/Silver collaboration flick. Heck, I didn't expect the movie at all. That car is sweet...
I barely know the cast. I think that guy playing Speed Racer was on that "Girl Next Door" movie? Hope this movie will be as good as I (and speed racer fans) hope it to be. Go. Speed Racer. Go.

Still Breathing. 6825 days
Haven't blogged in a few days now, because if I wasn't doing some strange project or typing a sum of 2000 words for some essay, I'll be down playing Pokémon.
I've been listening to Steriogram's "Walkie Talkie Man" over and over and over again. That's a defect in my mental being. I tend to listen to songs I love over and over again consecutively.
I also saw Spiderman 3 last Tuesday. It's nice. I like "Eric Forman's" role. Playing Eddie, but he's so That 70s Show. Powerful sense of emotion throughout the movie. Anger, Sadness, Blinded Happiness. Bravo. Went to Bon Gout at The Quayside after for dinner. This place was something. It had a strange Japanese feeling to it not because it's a Japanese restaurant, but there were bookshelves lined with Manga and has few seats for dining. It's like those small Ramen shops in Japan.

About the Title: I was rummaging through my Art material box when I chanced upon my ancient (stress "ancient") "sketchbooks". I know they were there, just that I haven't seen them for quite a while. Those hold my early comic strips. Judging from what I am today, those strips are now looking like crap. But we all gotta start somewhere, and I did. 7 years ago. That monstrosity was created. I'll be scanning them and uploading them once I'm ready to do so. I won't say where I'll be putting them though. (cackle-cackle)

Enjoying 6789 days

Donuts and a Great, great Kim Gary Hong Kong Dinner. All at, again, Vivocity.
Sorry, I had to. It's so good... I mean especially the French toast...
Also caught TMNT yesterday night. All the characters lost weight, and the ending calls for a sequel. Did I mention that we saw this at Vivocity with it's 11 rows and mega huge screen? I had a Funderful night.

I did it again. Just Today. Summarised all of the 138 minutes of "The Matrix Reloaded" into 60 seconds. Enjoy.

Existence: 6760 days Watched 2001: A Space Odyssey
Just finished Kubrick's "2001" movie. Pretty Good. Especially since it was made in 1968. It's one of the 50 Films to see before you Die, according to wikipedia. I've seen a number of the titles on the list. I'll have to see "The Breakfast Club" again. That was a good movie.
I didn't quite understand the ending. So the man becomes a "star-child", what's the point of that and how did that happen? SOMEONE TELL ME!!

Something possessed me to put this video here, but it's just too damn clever. This is a mash of the Intro Sequences from "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty" (left) and "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater" (right) with Casino Royale's Intro Song, "You Know My Name" as sung by Chris Cornell. Fitting, though MGS2 seems to do the job better.
Did I also mention that the Casino Royale Opening Sequence is to die for? It's so Brilliant using the suits of playing cards. Sure, there's a video of it on youtube, but it's not good enough for fullscreen.

Update!!

This one is also too good to pass up. This is a Bond Movie Conceptual Opening Sequence made with brilliant effort. Consider it a "Fan-opening" to Casino Royale.

I did this a while back. I basically took the entire movie and trimmed it down drastically.
A 2-hour flick to a mere minute, I Believe.
