the Good thing about Facebook


I love Facebook pages. It's one of the best thing in Facebook. I'm not talking about actor/actress/band/other public figures' pages, I'm talking about funny pages. I like it cause it's simple and honest. They usually made it from movie references (As far as I concern, Hangover is the most popular reference but I don't put them here cause I think that movie is way too overrated). Here are some funny fan pages:
Of course there are still like thousands of funny fan pages in Facebook, it's not that hard to find. For example: I typed the word "suck", thousands of funny page showed up. You can try by typing other words, like Fuck/shit/damn.

Cheer Up, Keanu

Internet is an amazing shit, so is Photoshop. And when these two combined together, heaven knows what's gonna happen. So, couple days ago or maybe couple weeks ago, Keanu Reeves was spotted by the paparazzi sitting on the bench, eating his sandwich and looking sad. It didn't take long for the photos to spread like flies' pooping on your lunch. It became the newest internet meme, creative Photoshoppers went crazy and edited sad Keanu's pose on the bench in various style. Following that crazy trend, Keanu's fan organized an event in Facebook entitled Cheer Up Keanu Day. 15th of June was picked as the D-Day, the event encouraged people to send love letters, gifts, phone messages, cancer donations or whatever that you can think of to make Keanu "un-sad". I really don't know what Keanu is thinking right now, is he happy because people care so much about him or he becomes sadder than before because people are making fun of his photos and giving too much pity on him, I don't know. All that I know for sure is that I haven't cleaned up my room for almost 3 weeks and I need to change my bedsheets.

This is the original image:


and these are the funny pics:

Keanu with Cold Cat

Don't get the joke? it's the parody of the quote from the Matrix: "there is no spoon."

PS. If you don't know who Keanu Reeves is, you may as well start to pack your things and move your ass from that remote mountain you've been living at.

World Cup is not cool




This is by far the most boring yet surprising World Cup, and it is also the most annoying one (fuck the vuvuzela). Big teams are being raped by mediocre teams, most game ended in draw results and again fuck the vuvuzela (stop blowing that stupid thing!). I was excited at first, I remember the first day of the game, it felt like holiday season, people were closing their shop earlier, the street was not as crowded as the usual, it felt like Christmas season... what a great situation and then BANG! the first game's score was 1-1 and then that stupid draw result keep continuing till now (England continued the first game's legacy yesterday), Spain, German and France got their ass kicked by the mediocre teams (thank God I'm not their fan) and that vuvuzela.... that fucking vuvuzela... Fuck. Let just see who will win this year's World Cup.

Top 10 Musical, IMO.

I'm a big fan of musical, actually it's not an easy thing to pick only 10 musicals cause I got lots of amazing musicals that I love, but anyway, you don't want to hear me bitching about that, do you? so here's the list:

10. An American in Paris (1951)
It's Gene Kelly's second best musical. The songs are great (I Got Rhythm, anyone?) but the best thing about this movie is the dancing, the last 15 minutes are pure musical, they didn't sing but all the did was dancing, it's crazy.


9. 42nd Street (1933)
We're like watching the drama that happened before the musical show that is going to be held, you won't find too many singing/dancing in here (the singing and dancing scenes are mostly in the scene when they're rehearsing), but once you follow the movie until the last 10 minutes, all the waiting and drama are worth it. The choreography is fantastic and so beautiful.


8. The Sound of Music (1965)
I didn't mean to be cliche but this movie is like the only fucking classic musical that everybody familiar with (even today's generation that don't really watch classic know this movie). We all spent our childhood watching this movie. The memorable songs like Do Re Mi, Sound of Music, 16 Going on 17, Favorite Things, Edelweiss, etc are so nostalgic.


7. West Side Story (1961)
I gotta admit, I didn't like this movie when I first saw it, I thought it's too gay but it's kinda growing on me after I watched it again and again. I started to love the songs and the dance at the party (that Mambo thing was pretty cool). It's like the musical version of Romeo and Juliet cause this movie was adapted from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.


6. Fantasia (1940)
A real feast for the eyes. It's a Disney's movie with the real Disney spirit in it. At one part, you'll laugh but in another part you'll feel hypnotized. Seriously, it's like watching opera (esp. the last part "Night at the Bald Mountain" and that Ave Maria song.. holy God). The best Disney's movie I've ever watched (Disney's cooperation with Pixar doesn't count).


5. Ziegfeld Follies (1946)
I've always loved Ziegfeld Follies with their songs and shows. This movie is actually the compilation of several musical numbers and short comedy show. I like Fanny Bryce' part, Judy Garland's also great and the best of all the duet between two musical legend, the beloved Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire.


4. Sita Sings the Blues (2009)
People need to see this movie, it's like a fun feminist movie. Nina Paley successfully combine old jazz songs from Annette Hanshaw with today's catchy tunes. The narration is very honest because they are unscripted.


3. Moulin Rouge! (2001)
Two words to sum up this movie: Spectacular! Spectacular!
This is the best modern musical with great set, various songs combined into a great medley, great chemistry between the two lead actor and actress and great theatrical numbers.


2. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)
In this movie you can see Marylin Monroe and her most memorable musical number: Diamonds are Girl's Best Friend. She's funny as hell, so was Jane Russell. If you want a good laugh and great songs, you can check out this movie.


1. Singin' in the Rain (1952)
The. best. musical. ever. created. by. human. being.
Hands down for this musical, all the songs, dancing and comedy just fit everybody's taste. Gene Kelly's amazing tap dance, Goofy Donald O'Connor, cute Debbie Reynolds and scene stealer Jean Hagen. Seriously, Fred Astaire can wash Gene Kelly's dishes.




Honorable mention:

* Funny Face (1957) - I love the costumes and the photos but most of all I love Audrey Hepburn.

* My Fair Lady (1964) - Fashion lover should love this movie. The costumes are truly high fashion.

* Grease (1978) - All the catchy songs like You're the One that I Want, Summer Night, Grease Lightning, etc.

* Wizard of Oz (1939) - One of the best song in musical movie: Somewhere Over the Rainbow

* South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (2001) - Shut your fucking face, Uncle Fucker!

* Chicago (2002) - Cell Block Tango and the Nowadays - Not a Honey Rag are fucking amazing.

* Meet Me in St. Louis - Judy Garland sang to the most sentimental Christmas song: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

Kick Ass - the Soundtrack review


I like the movie (esp. Hit-Girl), it's kinda obvious from the previous post. It's gonna be a short review about the soundtrack. Here's the list of the soundtrack:
  1. I’m Kick-Ass
  2. Stand Up – The Prodigy
  3. Kick Ass – Mika Vs Redone
  4. I Never Said Batman
  5. Can’t Go Back – Primal Scream
  6. There’s A Pot Brewin’ – The Little Ones
  7. Bring It On!
  8. Omen – The Prodigy
  9. Butterfly Knife
  10. Make Me Wanna Die – The Pretty Reckless
  11. Mayor’s Office
  12. Banana Splits – The Dickies
  13. Starry Eyed – Ellie Goulding
  14. This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us – Sparks
  15. Who Would Win In A Fight…?
  16. We’re All In Love – New York Dolls
  17. Bongo Song – Zongamin
  18. I Never Play
  19. Per Qualche Dollaro In Piu (For A Few Dollars More) – Ennio Morricone
  20. No Power, No Responsibility
  21. Bad Reputation – The Hit Girls
  22. An American Trilogy – Elvis Presley
  23. Show’s Over…
The soundtrack really remind me of Guy Ritchie's movie soundtrack (ex. RocknRolla and Snatch) where you can find few memorable lines from the movie. For the songs itself, Prodigy's Omen and Stand Up are pretty cool (say it like Cartman says "cyul"). The Little Ones' There’s A Pot Brewin’ really reminds me of Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stone (which means good). Banana Splits by the Dickies and Bad Reputation by the Hit Girl really make me go back to the cool scene with Hit Girl. What makes this soundtrack kicks ass is because they got the legendary Ennio Morricone's score from the classic movie For a Few Dollars More (you know it's classy when you got Morricone). However, there's always a flaw, there are two songs that I don't really like from this movie, Pretty Reckless' Make me Wanna Die and New York Doll's We're All in Love, but you can always skip it anyway. In conclusion this soundtrack is worth to buy/download.

Kick Ass Got Ass Kicked

I just got my ass kicked by girl who doesn't even have her period yet.



I just kicked a boy's ass and I don't even have my period yet.

Kick Ass. The best superhero movie of the year (Fuck Iron Man 2).. but I'm not gonna talk that much about the main character, Kick Ass, cause he just got his ass kicked by the a little girl who doesn't even have her period yet. Yep, that girl is Hit-Girl. The best female Superhero (Fuck Lara Croft) ever and probably the cutest super hero ever (Fuck Superboy). This movie is like Superbad screwing Watchmen and then screwing Shoot 'em Up. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars and that's mainly because of that little girl.

PS. I might have to re consider my hate toward Nicholas Cage, he ain't so bad in this movie.

PPS. I almost forgot to say: the soundtrack kicks ass!
