The Art of Singing KTV

1. Have a theme
2. Respect the waiter, so do not comment that he looks like Cavin Soh
3. Make sure your friends do not fall asleep
4. Refrain from singing songs from the 1940s/50s/60s/70s (1980s onwards are fine)
5. Never leave halfway during the session even though your mum forgot to bring her keys
6. Eat the fruits and the tibits fast
7. Do not order Honey Red Tea
8. Make sure that Edison Chen still has some dignity left by singing his songs
9. Do not laugh at Alex To's mum
10. Make any songs that last more than 8 minutes your last, so as to maximise your dollars spent

Happy Together

Go shoot yourself

I'm a little bit older, a little bit wiser, a little bit rounder, but still none the wiser.

this year seems a tad quiet when mentioned in the same breath as last year's celebrations.

nevertheless, managed to engage in the one activity that i find solace in ( no, not drafting posts for this worthless piece of shite blog), nothing fancy, nothing deep, just pure entertainment. for the past ten days, i've been devouring comedy after comedy after comedy.

heres the list of funny movies that i've watched recently:

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou ( As good, or even better than Darjeeling Limited and Royal Tenabaums. Wes Anderson is a genius) 9/10

Blades of Glory (ice skating with 2 faggots. Will Farrell at his irritating best) 5/10

Ghost Town (no idea how to describe this. but it had its moments. not exactly the best film to watch while bunking over, puts ppl to deep sleep) 6/10

Knocked Up (Successful entertainment presenter gets pregnant with loser's baby. Seth Rogen as President,maybe?) 7/10

Pineapple Express ( It’s a suspenseful, offbeat and exciting action-comedy about two stoner buddies who are on the run after witnessing a crime. well worth watching for James Franco's performance as the happy-go-lucky perpetually stoning drug dealer) 7/10

Happy Gilmore (Ice hockey player turns golfer to pay off nana's debt. Adam Sandler, enough said) 8/10

Superbad ( coming of age film of 3 high school seniors who want to score. it made me laugh, really loud) 7/10

The History Boys (What is history? satire and kinda funny in a sick way)

Chronicles of Narnia: Prince of Caspian (yes, dumb movie acting serious,what a joke)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and the best comedies of 2008 goes to.................... in no particular order*
(*yet to review Yes Man, not to be confused with I P Man)

a. You don't mess with the Zohan

Seriously, I feel sad for people who haven't seen this. Why dont you look yourself in the mirror and curse yourself not having watched this. I must say, its pure Sandler at his best since ....... Little Nicky maybe? I wish I could have his goatee ..

b. Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Sensitive, new age comedy about a loserish guy learning how to pick himself up after jilted by his famous girlfriend whos a tv star. He packs his bag for Hawaii for a break, only to find his ex-girlfriend with her current crush who is a mega superstar.

Amazingly funny, just be wary of the slight nudity and butt cracks that appear a bit too often. Not suitable for fans who still think they are 18.

c. Tropic Thunder(its the right poster)

Either you love it, or you hate it. Ben Stiller, with his usual frat pack gang, is up to their douchebag and goofball behavior again. A film in a film, a director takes his prima donna actors into a real conflict area to make the film more realistic. Simple Jack made me laugh so hard.

d. Kung Fu Panda

I'm not a big fan of animations. But this is like dope, the more you watch it, the more it grows on you. For a brief period after watching this, I wanted to be Po. And that really speaks alot. (i dont feel that way anymore, if you are worried)

Honorary mention: Wall-E, Burn After Reading, Definitely, Maybe

Buzzwords of 2008 Comedies: Zohan, Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, Dwight (of The Office), Keanu Reeves

What are your choices for best comedies of 2008?

*Watch out for Funny People by Sandler and Rogen, coming to theatres near you* May 2009 be a feel-good year, full of optimism, joy and good movies.

the day i sat still, and fell asleep

Indulgent time!

Question: what's worse than watching a popsicle melt in a weather of negative 75 degree celsius?

Answer: Cringing while watching Keanu Reeves' as Klaatu. (note: nope, its not Neo nor John Constantine you saw in the movie but i see the resemblance)

Not for the faint-hearted, TDTESS is a remake of the 1951 science fiction film of the same name. Other than that trashy robot, GORT, the premise is very much different from the original. Keanu Reeves is Klaatu, a cool and suave alien (and whats new) who was sent to assess whether mankind could reverse their own fallings . In other words, to save earth by killing the humans and that means us. Al Gore would have been proud of Klaatu. Jennifer Connelly and Jaden Smith are humans whom Klaatu came to care about during his short stint on earth. He learns to be human while he is around them.

Falling asleep by now? Precisely. My 2 year old niece would have probably been asleep 5 minutes into the movie. For myself, I lasted until the hour. And that is an achievement, mind you. It wasn't just me either. My counterpart felt dreary as well. The premise is as interesting as watching myself in the mirror.

Disappointing film to catch if you are looking for something of a blockbuster. there werent much action either. nor romance. nor plot. well.

Nevertheless, if you are keen, read the premise of the original film. I thought it was waay better and better than the environment intensive messages that the movie tries too hard to preach.

I think the movie should have been named as "the day i stood still outside the theatre wondering why i wasted 2 hours of my life watching this crap of a film" but i think maybe naming my future son Klaatu aint a bad idea.

now, whos keen to have that popsicle?
