Guess who?

Guess who this girl is?

no idea? I can see why.. and I'm gonna save a cat before you kill one by telling who this girl is.

surprise, surprise...it's Norah Jones.
she has a punk band called El Madmo, you should check out the album cause it's awesome. They got some pretty kicking tracks like Carlo, Fantasy Guy, Nanny Goat Mon, Scary Lady and Rock Yer Balls Off. Not many people know about El Madmo, even their fan page in Facebook only got 72 fans (I'm one of them). Now I command you all to check out the website and download the song. Go!

Guitar Loser

Yep, I'm not a guitar hero, I'm a guitar loser. I've been learning to play this magical instrument since last week, and I'm still suck at it but I really enjoy it.. I do not expect myself to be as awesome as Jimi Hendrix or George Harrison but it'll be lovely if I can play one of their songs.. I even plan to make a song about my late turtle, Gebleki.. now, that's what I call "super lovely".

I am the sexiest turtle alive, my Mom told me so.

Snatch is good.

Sometimes it takes second viewing of a movie to make me finally understand or love them.. Brad Pitt's Fight Club is one of them.. I wasn't that impressed when I watched it for the first time but last year when I finally got a chance to do the second viewing, I just fell in love with that movie.. same thing happened with other Brad Pitt's movie, Snatch..

This movie was amazingly funny and cool, I love all the casts (including the dogs) and most of all, the quotes. Brad Pitt was fucking amazing in that movie, this I shit you not, without the subtitle I wouldn't understand a word from his mouth.

These are some funny quotes:

Avi: Should I call you Bullet? Tooth?
Bullet Tooth Tony: You can call me Susan if it makes you happy.

Turkish: Mickey, you're lucky we aren't worm food after your last performance. Buying a tart's mobile palace is a little fucking rich.
[Realizes his mistake]
Turkish: I wasn't calling your mum a tart. I just meant...
Mickey: Ah, save your breath for cooling your porridge. Now, look...
Mickey: [starts talking incoherently] I want the hector two roof lights, with the discover cushions and the matching side stripe caravan.
Mickey: Right. And she's terrible partial to the periwinkle blue, boys. Have I made myself clear, lads?
Turkish: Yeah, that's perfectly clear, Mickey. Just give me one minute to confer with my colleague.
[to Tommy]
Turkish: Did you understand a single word of what he just said?

Avi: Eighty-six carats.
Rosebud: Where?
Avi: London.
Rosebud: London?
Avi: London.
Avi's Colleague: London?
Avi: Yes, London. You know: fish, chips, cup 'o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fucking Poppins... LONDON.

Mickey: Good dags. D'ya like dags?
Tommy: Dags?
Mickey: What?
Mrs. O'Neil: Yeah, dags.
Tommy: Oh, dogs. Sure, I like dags. I like caravans more.

this got nothing to do with Snatch, but I just think it's fucking hilarious.

Eat shit, Chelsea...

That's right.. eat shit, Chelsea..
that's all I need to say.

The Best from Superman

Superman is the best superhero ever made.. Screw Iron Man and Batman.. Superman is like Flash having threesome with The Thing from Fantastic Four and Cyclops from X-Men. These 3 amazing powers united as one and made Superman. Enough about the introduction, cut the crap and here's the list.

1. Superman

The best Superman: Christoper Reeve

This guy is Superman! Most Superman's drawing are based on his face because he had successfully built Superman's image.

runner-up: Tom Welling, Brandon Routh (he's the most good looking man ever played Superhero) and Dean Cain.

2. Lois Lane

the best Lois Lane: Teri Hatcher

You might disagree with my choice but I grew up watching her and Dean Cain every Sunday, and I just love them.

runner-up: Margot Kidder and Kate Bosworth

3. Lex Luthor

the best Lex Luthor: Michael Rosenbaum

no contest, it's Michael Rosenbaum. He's the most charming Lex Luthor ever. Kevin Spacey just fucked up Lex Luthor's image in Superman Returns.

runner-up: Gene Hackman.

4. Lana Lang

the best Lana Lang: Kristin Kreuk.

again, no contest for this one.... Kristin Kreuk is like the best choice for Lana.. I started to hate the fact that Clark will never make it with Lana.

runner-up: Annette O'Toole (interesting, since she played Clark's Mom in Smallville).

Smart cow

the quality of the pic sucks. not my fault.

I googled "smart cow" and this came out. I'm still wondering why the hell I typed "smart cow" in google. I guess I was bored.

The legendary Mr. Garrison

Screw Cartman, Mr. Garrison is the best animated character ever made. I always enjoy all of his scene in South Park. He/she got lots of memorable quotations, and one of the best is about the theory of evolution. Charles Darwin, you can wash Mr. Garrison's dishes...

[the kids in class, including a new girl, see Ms. Garrison arriving, not too happy to teach them evolution]
Ms. Garrison: All right, kids, it is now my job to teach you the theory of evolution.
Butters: Oh boy!
Ms. Garrison: Now I, for one, think evolution is a bunch of *bullcrap*! But I've been told I have to teach it to you anyway. It was thought up by Charles Darwin and it goes something like this...
[she goes up to a large poster of evolution and begins pointing things out with her pointer]
Ms. Garrison: In the beginning, we were all fish. Okay? Swimming around in the water. And then one day a couple of fish had a retard baby, and the retard baby was different, so it got to live. So Retard Fish goes on to make more retard babies, and then one day, a retard baby fish crawled out of the ocean with its...
[she waves her left hand limply]
Ms. Garrison: ...mutant fish hands... and it had butt sex with a squirrel or something and made this.
[she points to a prehistoric mammal rodent]
Ms. Garrison: Retard frog-sqirrel, and then *that* had a retard baby which was a... monkey-fish-frog... And then this monkey-fish-frog had butt sex with that monkey, and that monkey had a mutant retard baby that screwed another monkey... and that made you!
[she faces the class, with the new girl among them looking around]
Ms. Garrison: So there you go! You're the retarded offspring of five monkeys having butt sex with a fish-squirrel! Congratulations!

Killer Condom: The Rubber That Rubs You Out

I'm not being rude or funny but that is the title of a movie.

Tagline: The rubber that rubs YOU out!

Set in the seedy parts of New York City, Killer Condom follows gay detective Luigi Mackeroni (Udo Samel), who has been hired to investigate a series of bizarre attacks at the Hotel Quickie in which male guests have all had their penises mysteriously bitten off. While at the crime scene, he enlists the services of a gigolo named Billy and invites him up to the crime room. Before the two men engage in sex, a carnivorous living condom interrupts them and bites Mackeroni's right testicle off.

Now on a personal vendetta, Mackeroni begins his lone quest to not only bring a stop to the rash of condom attacks, but also face his true feelings toward Billy the gigolo.

the amazing poster.

I haven't seen the movie but this like a great plot for some kind of cheap porn movie (the title, plot and the poster look so rubbish).. but still I think this is gonna be fun to see and after that you can share with your friend, like:

me: "Hey, I just watched a movie called Killer Condom."
friend: "the hell is that?"
me: "...I'm not telling."
friend: "You got to hell. You go to hell and you die."

Underrated genius

Mychael Danna (that's right, Mychael with 'y') is my new favorite movie composer. He might be not as popular as John Williams or Danny Elfman but this guy got some seriously amazing scores that he has made for some great movies, like (500) days of summer and Time Traveler's Wife.
If you have seen (500) days of summer, you must have heard the opening score where the narrator told a story about a boy and a girl.. that's right, Mr. Danna made that score! I love his work in Time Traveler's Wife, too.. it really helped the movie to build some sad and romantic moments.

This is what Wikipedia had said about him:

Mychael Danna is the brother of fellow composer Jeff Danna. He has been scoring films since his 1987 feature debut for Atom Egoyan's Family Viewing, a score which earned Danna the first of his thirteen Genie Award nominations. He has won five times for Achievement in Music - Original Score.[1] Danna is recognized as one of the pioneers of combining non-Western sound sources with orchestral and electronic minimalism in the world of film music. This reputation has led him to work with such directors as Atom Egoyan, Deepa Mehta, Terry Gilliam, Scott Hicks, Ang Lee, Gillies MacKinnon, James Mangold, Mira Nair, Billy Ray, Joel Schumacher, and Denzel Washington.

this guy can win Oscar someday, and when he does, I'm gonna jump and said: "Ha! I told you so!" this I shit you not.

Some things grow

There are some musicals that I didn't like when I first watched them... (by them I meant Grease and West Side Story). I thought those musicals were so gay, those boys sure can dance better than I do! Like for example, the opening scene for West Side Story was pretty gay, I meant, there's no fucking way bunch of punks like them dance like ballerina in the middle of the street.

see what I mean?

Same thing happened with the movie Grease, John Travolta and his boys looks pretty gay with their greasy hair.

The Greasers

but then again, after I watched them over and over again (When I got nothing to do I always watch my movie collection again and again), all the dancing and songs looked pretty straight to me.. even John Travolta started to look cute. Based on that experience, I try not to judge how bad a movie is until I watch it again for the second time... except for Nicholas Cage's Wicker Man. That movie is the worst trash ever came out of Hollywood.

Screw you, whoever made Wicker Man.. I hate you and I don't even want to bother myself to search your name in google.

p.s. I'm not sure to call this daily bitching since I don't update my bitching daily..

Whip it - a movie and soundtrack review

I'm not gonna talk that much about the movie because it was just an Okay movie. Drew Barrymore did a great job, she can make a good director. Ellen Page and Juliette Lewis were good too.
Anyway, what caught my attention the most from the movie was the soundtrack. I'm a movie soundtrack lover. I got like hundreds of movie soundtrack collections.. and I shit you not that this movie's soundtrack is amazing. They got from the Ramones to Dolly Parton.. It's an amazing rock n roll compilation.

here's the list of the soundtrack,

recommended tracks: What's the Altitude - Cut Chemist Hymnal, Bang On - The Breeders, Learnalilgivinanlovin - Gotye, Crown of Age - The Ettes, Lollipop - The Chordettes and Doing It Right - The Go! Team.

you know, I won't let you down:
download What's the Altitude - Cut Chemist Hymnal
download Bang On - The Breeders

Book - "501 Must See Movies"

I don't usually read books, most novels successfully put me to sleep.. but I do like books about history, esp. history of movies (you don't have to be Einstein to know that I love movies). I just bought Dale Thomajan's "From Cyd Charisse to Psycho". this book is filled with Mr. Thomajan's humble opinion about his list of "the best-est" in movie... I gotta be honest, I didn't really enjoy the book since it's full of movies that I haven't seen (that's why I didn't really understand what he was saying) and the worst of all: it's full of spoilers..

"501 Must See Movies" is a book with the weight of baby elephant, but it feels light when I hold it because I love it. My friend, Pipi gave it to me (merci beaucoup, Pipi) almost 3 years ago and ever since, this book has become my guidance in finding good movies. It's filled with list of movies from Thriller & Mystery to Western Movies. I have watched almost half of the movies listed in the book, it's pretty amazing thing since most movies listed there are hard to find here.. I'm a proud girl.

they put gorgeous Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tyffany's as the cover. that's just making me love this book even more since I'm a big fan of Audrey Hepburn.

Stay Away from Rooney, Florentino Perez

or I'll hunt you down like an animal...this I shit you not.
I couldn't believe this when I read that Real Madrid was trying to take Rooney from the most amazing club in the entire universe, Manchester "Awesome" United... I just can't believe with how greedy a man can be. I wish they make sequel for movie Seven, and this time I wouldn't mind Kevin Spacey killed Perez for his greedy plan! I do believe Perez is the son of Satan, after all...

the "on-fire" Wayne Rooney

The Amazing Spectabulous Janis Joplin

Dear human being,
you're not alive until you listen to Janis Joplin's Summertime.. (Am I exaggerating stuff? shit yes..)
This is the song that I'd love to listen to if I get high on drugs, this I shit you not (I never have any intention to get high on drugs. I was just giving example.. you know what I mean so stop imagining things).



of course, this post won't be complete without the link to download the song.. I'm such an angel.

New York, I don't love you

Alright first of all, I'm not that kind of person who can make long review about movies..
I watched New York, I love you last month and was so surprised with how amazingly unattractive this movie was.. It's pretty obvious that they were trying to be as romantic/funny/gay/dramatic/mellow as Paris, Je T'aime.. and it successfully failed! I feel bad for Natalie Portman who shaved her head (again) for this lame movie.

The only performance worth watching was probably Anton Yelchin's part. It was almost as good as Paris, Je T'aime. Shia LaBeouf was cute but not cute enough to save this movie.. Hayden Christiansen destroyed Star Wars and he did it again in this movie. well done, boy..

over all, all I gotta say is: New York, I don't love you.. this I shit you not.

Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore..

well, Dorothy, you're in my blog.. that's for sure.

I always love movie quotation.. I know all of AFI's 100 best movie quote (I covered my cupboard's door with them, so I can see them everyday)...
but somehow, I disagree with some of AFI's choice. Like quote from movie The Graduate, "Plastic"... I've read the nominees for the best quote and I found lots of quote that deserve a higher place than that. AFI is not always right, this I shit you not.. but they are right when they put Casablanca's quotes in the list. My fave quote will always be: "We'll always have Paris".

P.S.: 300 might not make it to AFI's next 100 best quote list, but it always feels good to yell: "This is Sparta!"



and by the way, AFI stands for: American Film Institute.

First Post!

My very first post!

let's just cut the crap.. my first post is about Otis Redding.. the most amazing soul singer ever live. I know most of my friends are very tired of listening me talking about Otis and how great he was.. but it's true! this man was a fucking legend! IMO, his best song is Try a Little Tenderness... (also enlisted in My Blueberry Night's Soundtrack.. pretty good movie, by the way). Too bad, he died young.. life's such a bitch.

want the song Try a Little Tenderness? check this link out!
