It’s Safe To Accompany Your Boyfriend to Ironman

There are lots of things men’s fixations i don’t get. Like anime, computer games, cars, boobies, gadgets… Ok i kinda get it about gadgets but my point is, it totally baffles me why men love all these stuffs to addiction. Superheroes are one of them.

Marvel

How many of you guys out there at one point in your life have fantasized about being a Superhero (Dr. Chua Soi Lek not included), blasting evil villains to kingdom come with your supersonic powers or whatever and saving the day… plus getting the hot blonde? Please raise your hand? Wow, everyone huh?!

How many have NOT read any Marvel comics? Raise your hands? No one?

How many of you guys secretly wish you were Superman…coz you think it’s sexy wearing red underwear outside? Hey, why are you blushing??

I seriously don’t get it. Superheroes have unbelievable powers… you can’t believe its real right? The plots are getting old… same old “defend the nation, fight the bad guys, save the people, save the damsel in distress and yadda yadda yadda”, they wear ridiculous clownish or vulgar costumes (if you can’t beat the baddies, maybe they would laugh to their death?) plus the lines are really cheesy.

Hello Kitty Man??!! LOL

Here’s the thing. I really dislike Superheroes movies. I’m a female, so go figure. I practically slept through most of them. I cringed through Spiderman. I enjoyed Daredevil for all the wrong reasons. Ben Affleck was so bad it was funny. But i actually went for Ironman last night because everyone was boasting how good it was AND because of Robert Downey Junior. He’s one of my favorite actors but let’s not get into that.

Ironman the Movie

Ironman rox! Big time!

For the first time, i could say “Guys! I finally get it! Superheroes rox! Hur hur!”

1) Robert Downey Junior played Tony Start/Ironman to perfection. Tony Stark is effortlessly charming and with a great sense of humor… and sexy!

Charming Tony Stark played by Robert Downey Junior

3) The show is believable… enough. None of those superhero powers. Ironman is a man-built killing machine!
4) The movie’s CGI is amazing and real.

This is so cool… it looks way better in the movie alright.

5) The Ironman suit is so cool. I wish i could build one… maybe… if i’m a genius… yeah… it’s possible… i think…
6) Gwyneth Paltrow is hot.
7) Ironman is not focus on romance. No mushy love story that’ll make you cringe.
8) My dream house is in there. Omg! It’s so high tech!

I have no idea why this post is so long. I blabber so much. All i wanted to say is

“GO WATCH IRONMAN!”

I can’t believe i’m so excited over a superhero movie -_-”. But girls if you’re trying to earn a merit or two from your bf, this movie is safe. Teman (accompany) him for Ironman, then after the show ask him for a LV bag *muahahaha!

Ps// Just found out from Simon that there’s scenes after the ending credit. I missed that. *arghhhh!!!

Special Screening of the Kite Runner

BB Community, you think you are the only one who got the tickets? I won 2 tickets to special screening of the Kite Runner from AMBP too! *wakakaka!

By the way, i’m collecting it today. See you there!

Bob Marley Dreadlocks feat. in 10,000 B.C.

I was going to watch Waterhorse yesterday but ended up in the cinema with tickets to 10,000 B.C. Surprisingly, i enjoyed it better than i had expected. I’m a sucker for movies with narrations in the background and especially ones on this genre *so-so acting ignored lor. So i’m vouching hard for this movie. But i like 10,000 B.C. for all the wrong reasons.

The storyline is plain cheesy. Caveman in Bob Marley dreadlocks recruits warriors of different tribes to save his beloved not to mention hot cave woman, battling strange creatures, talked to a saber tooth tiger , saving slaves and gigantic woolly mammoths on his way. I hate to make you disappointed but the famous saber tooth tiger on the moive posters only had 2 short scenes in the movie.

Anyways, it’s a typical heroic, brotherhood, good wins over the bad plot but with a lot more skin. In fact… there are a lot more skin colour. (someone told me that the B.C. is associated with Benetton Colors for the various tribes in the movie LOL!). I must warn, there are scenes very much similar to the Spartans in 300.

However, i love the idea of the cavemen having an adventure on their journey across the continent… oops i guessed continents doesn’t exist back then.

EatAllYouCanShung: I think the cavemen originate from UK. See it’s very cold and got ice. Its at the north.
Me: Hmmm… i think so and they came to Malaysia!
EatAllYouCanShung: Huh? Where got?
Me: Got! They travel to Malaysia then to Africa then to Nile River and to Egypt.
EatAllYouCanShung: Don’t have lar.
Me: Got got! *excited! The scene where they suddenly came into a jungle with the gigantic birds that rips them apart. That’s Malaysia lar. Got jungle and tropical climate wat. Sure Malaysia!
EatAllYouCanShung: Yeah yeah… -_-”

Also, the CGI was spectacular. I love the mammoths. They are so adorable. The mammoth hunting scene was fantastically real. I had a hard time watching them being hunt down by the cavemen… and… and…

Ok. Who am i kidding. It’s solely becoz Steven Strait looks great in dreadlocks.

No Woman No Cry

I think he better stick to the dreadlocks and sing the “No Woman No Cry” song.

Noooo!!! Dreadlocks please!

The Handsome Boy is Actually a Girl

Once upon a time i used to be hooked on Stephen Chow‘s movies. However, it doesn’t appeal to me as much now. He’s exaggerating comedy is getting pretty routine… to me at least… uhm… i know a whole bunch of people still laugh like kena asthma watching his comedic stunts. I however, don’t get it anymore.

CJ7: ET Comedy

Now lets sidetrack a lil bit.

What caught my attention was the supporting cast (anyone other than Stephen, i call supporting cast). The small boy in the movie playing the character Dicky. When i first saw the trailer, i was thinking what a cute and good looking that young boy was. Look, i’m not a a pervert preying on young kids nor am i a gold fish auntie. To make things clear, i am also not thinking about my biological clock. I just have a thing for good looking kids. Good looking kids just makes me feel warm and fuzzy that’s all.

Handsome Xu Jiao is Pretty… WTF

Anyways, this boy hor… this handsome boy… this adorable hansome boy i wanted to kidnap and matchmake with my future daughter hor… is a girl! -_-” I thought someone was pulling my leg when i was told he’s actually a SHE. I know i’m so outdated but i almost fell out of my bed when i saw the list of cast online just now.

Why the hell take a girl to play a boy? No male out there ar?… Which part of this 9 year old resembles a girl? I don’t see any.

** Post updated on 16/1/2008. Thanks to Abner who pointed out that it’s Stephen Chow instead of Steven Chow. Sorry for the mistake :P

Alien Vs Predator Xmas Version

Mr. Alien doesn’t look too scary here does he?

Alien lost with Santa hat in Curve

In fact, i think he look pretty hawt for a man-eating-out-of-space dude. Look at those pearly white teeth. And the shiny bald head beneath the macho Santa hat… Well, ok. He’s a bit skinny but humans are at abundant on planet earth, so he’ll be fatter in no time.

Say cheese!

I think the side-kick in dreadlocks was a bit intimidated by his good looking friend.

Undies are not a replacement for good looking my dear

Ermm i think this stint at the Curve will be more exciting than the movie itself *wakaka!

Jakarta Undercover Bares It All

The book i was looking for was not available at Borders Bejaya Time Square, so i picked this up instead. With stories on seedy red-light districts, underground club circuit, sashimi sex… don’t blame me for being curious!

Jakarta Undecover by Moammar Emka features many stories about the unlimited sexual services (from sashimi sex to nude casinos) available in Jakarta, the capital of the world’s largest Muslim country. However, the book which was supposed to have taken Indonesia by storm and sold a whopping 200,000 copies was really errr… unexceptional.

The scenes depicted in the book were dull and each story sounded similar from start to finish. Starting of with the author gaining access via his network of social contacts to exclusive nude parties and sex-for-hire clubs for only the rich and famous and ending with the too-good-to-be-true author declining sexual favors, dignity intact. To be fair, this book was translated to English being the original written in Indonesian language, so the original one might be in a better taste.

Most scenarios were of no surprise coz it does not just happens in Jakarta but in almost every red district around the world. *We’re in great danger! Overly-horny people are everywhere! The interesting part is in this densely Muslim populated part of the world there were even sex-for-sale in chauffeured driven SUVs where customers get to choose the brand of kick-ass luxury cars they prefer. *Sex On Wheels!! Woo Hoo!!

In all, its just a series of mediocre stories. While reading it, I was distracted and more interested watching a middle-aged Australian couple sitting beside me, enjoying Night Fever by Bee Gees while pretending to be a drummer and keyboardist on invisible drum and keyboard set while their son did some karate moves.

Found out later that there was a Indonesian movie adapted from this book under the same title. Unfortunately this movie was banned in Malaysia *18SX ma!, coz i think it’ll be way better than the book. Check this out.

Hairspray 2007

Thumbs up! *toes up too! Over-the-top, corny (hey it’s so corny, the name of the host in the movie is Corny!) but enjoyable movie.

The beginning was a bit boring but got better throughout the show. The lead played by Nikki Blonsky was very annoying. She was so unbelievably hyper, i wished she was an Energizer bunny. *if i could just get hold of the batteries! However, superb performance from other casts and catchy songs were enough to make up for it.

Cheesy stuff i noticed from the movie:
1) Tracy Turnblad sounds like Tracy Turnblack coz she befriended negros. *duh!
2) Tracy’s black hair with white highlights on her fringe. Her hair was dyed after she got caught doing the dance steps her negro friends taught her.

John Travolta was surprisingly quite good as a woman. There were some scene where he kinda over-act a little but nothing too much. I’m not a Travolta fan but he’s really likable and adorable in Hairspray! *so cute i can die! And omg he can really dance… yeah even in prosthetics and dress haha.

Hairspray is worth a watch if not just to catch John Travolta shaking his bon-bon in drag :P
