I already love the theme. Now a lounge version which I read that will only be available if one completes Metal Gear Solid 3 in extreme difficulty. I'm good, but this difficulty is too hard for me.

so, embedded is the track, which now I am so addicted to.



It's James Bond like, and more lounge. So chill out.

Fake DVD Spec: Swine Trip

It's so crazy I don't know where to begin.

"Guys going on a trip away from home just to realize how much they miss it."

Goal: shoot footages of pigs.

DVD Chapter Scenes Include:
Opening - Character Intros:
1 - Norainah choosing CDs.
2 - Chris going to sleep as Lung Chieh edits.
3 - I'm watching the police (which he called) break up a gang fight while eating carrots.
4 - Don't know what was Cain doing - smoking or cleaning his camera?

MacDonald's breakfast.
Meet the Sister/Mother.
Rejected at JB pig farm.
Warm trip to the north.
Racist, Sexist (pig calling) and Egoist points.
Me vs the Coconut.
Selected windscreen wipe (foreshadowing).
Trick roads.
Hunt for hotels.
Bad Aircon verus Iceland.
A&W breakfast and lunch within ten minute's span.
Smashed windscreen courtesy of KL robbers.
Bad Malaysian Tourist police.
Dumb KL police at High Commission.
Jaded trip to the pig farm.
Sad pig farmer with a sparkling hope of change of the countries' systems.
The drive into the darkness.
Struggling cash flow home.
Emo trip home after entering the Immigration.
End credits scored by DJ Shadow.


Mid credits roll:
And then, somebody ended the emo-ness drive by saying the last one-liner:
"Cos A&W veri niceeee..."
Totally spoiled the moment.

Changed characters, each going through their own revelations.
1 - Norainah misses Singapore.
2 - Chris realizes that KL police are more troublesome than the thieves.
3 - I realized that there may be more to why Singapore do not order pigs from Malaysia.
4 - Coda scene: Cain is still stuck there.

In actual roadtrip movies, things do get progressively worse! In the end, the characters return home changed.

Running Time: 2 days

One of the few films...

One of the few films which changed the way I wanna make movies:



It was the biggest twist that took thirty years to unveil.

Mad Dog

If I'm looking back at memories, I must be really aging.

Trailers that Spoils Too Much

We are talking about Daybreakers and its possible spoilers. So be warned.



I would say that the trailer is cool. And the directors had come a long way since Undead. I would watch this just to support the spirit of "starting small".

Ok, here's the issue that bothered me: the marketing. It's not about Ethan Hawke, not about that Placebo song, not the effects, but the choice of scenes cut for the trailer.

I am not sure if it's intended, but 90% of the story is in there, leaving the question on how it ends.

Dot #1
We have scenes of Sam Neill with his character's son who says that he is good at being a vampire.

Dot #2
Ethan Hawke asks, what if there is no single drop of blood left. Sam Neill says that there will be people willing to pay for the real stuff. It has been set up that the vampires are making fake blood.

Dot #3
The humans say that they have the cure to turn vampires back into humans.

Dot #4
Sam Neill asks, "What's the cure?"

Draw the lines
What do you think Sam Neill will do once he gets his hands on the cure? Turn back into human? Remember that his son says that he is good at being a vampire? From there you can tell what's the theme and the story is about.

Think about it.

I would still watch it though.

But I'll always remember working with Mélanie Laurent.
