The emotional highs and lows are unbalanced and it's too much for me.

Never has a project took me so much pain and sorrow but this one.

I am still considering about it...

Leaving it to Him

I apologize for causing a scare from the previous post.

I am still considering the ultimatum. But I'm leaving it to Him for I have asked.

We'll just have to wait and see if the struggle should continue.

Broken, Shattered and Nothing

I have forsaken human love, work opportunities, and personal time.

I have no assurance that things are going to work out. I have little support. I have too many burdens to bear.

If this fails, I'm left with nothing.

I will become, nothing.

Ten days into the new year and I'm already hating it. I asked myself today, how many times do I have to make mistakes in one single project of my own? How many fucking times?!








Upon utter depression, I have put this into consideration: Maybe the only way to stop making the mistakes, is to quit.

Words from David Lynch

Wise words. Damn funny seeing an angry filmmaker rant too.

I have trust issues.

It's Coming

The budget is still at a dangerous level.

And it's two months from now.

I can't help but feel excited and afraid at the same time. My dream short, also my scariest one.

Joe and Ads

If Joe Carnahan did this ad to raise funds for his film Smokin' Aces as well as publicizing it, I wanna do something for either The Moment or The Children!

It affects Bugs too!

LOL!

Daft

To the Netizens who have seen the Daft Hands craze on YouTube...

For those who dunno, Daft Hands rule is that everything is shot in one take. So this means no screw ups. Those interested to know more try YouTubing keywords: Daft Hands Around The World.

Huh?



I dunno about you guys, as much as I would like good looking females in bikinis, this as a video game is damn disturbing.

And this is a sequel to Bikini Karate Babes (German video review below), supposed to be a spoof of fighting games. And that too, is disturbing.

Michael Mann's fake trailer

Like the fake trailers produced for Grindhouse, Michael Mann did one for Mercedes.



HD, Fight or Switch?

My answer? I lay the dots and you know what to do.

Every shot says Michael Mann.

Broken Hearted over...

Screenwriting is a funny thing.

The stages of emotional recovery applies also. I guess I'm in the enraged stage.

Soon, I will care for it no more.

Upset over Something Harsh

Harsh City is now out of my washed hands.

I have been rewritten without my approval. After much debate, changes and fights, I would try not to bother about the script anymore. Now it has become nothing more than cheap dialogues, weak characters, unrealistic ideas and stories that clearly show lack of research.

I'm jaded over it already. When it's made and done with, I just want my paycheck.

Bringing Back the Lust

For those who didn't have faith in me or my theories...

After Harsh City, I am moving on to a widower who lost his son and gets into a desperate search for him.

Freaky, but I like it.

Nose Bleeds and Heavy Sleep

I think this will be regular.

Any free time I have is always invested on production, be it currently in one or planning for another one. As long as I have it, I will make a new shoot.

I sleep so less that my body temperature will increase causing me to nose bleed. And once I cannot take it, I will fall into a one day coma when I sleep the whole day.

The cycle repeats. This is no healthy. I gonna do something about it.

Let's Groove!

Oh I love the funk.

The Drama behind the Thriller II

I can't wait... I can't wait... I can't wait... I can't wait...

The Drama behind the Thriller

I don't know why everyone trashes this film.

One of my theories is that they don't use the most important muscle in their body located inside their heads.

If you think you're this film's target audience, you must watch Rendition.



It is the ultimate thinking person's film.

Amelia Visits

Went to Eskibar with Amelia while she was in town.

And I survived forty minutes in subzero degrees.

Feelings I Miss

I can't remember when I was this busy.

But I enjoy every moment. I love working and talking about work all the time.

Parents and Screenwriters

All parents want the best for their daughters when they get married.

They would be really glad if the husbands play a part in grooming them into a good woman, mothers, daughters, and most of all, a right human.

Can you imagine how they feel if the husbands abuses their daughters?

Parents who have given their daughters away and screenwriters are very common.

Screenwriters pray for directors or producers to consult them if their "daughters" need change or certain understanding if they have conflict.

All I can do now is to move on from the pains of my "daughter" and what she has become. I accept the circumstances so all I can do is to mourn.

Ali, go Ali

Freaking funny!



How often do you see her smile? Only Ali G can do it!

For some retarded reasons, I am a fan of AVGN's podcasts.

He plays retro games and cusses at them. He also have a cool intro theme. Here are a few of episodes that I feel are the best.

Killing Flowers

I didn't know stepping on flowers should be that fun.



Hmm... Killing Flowers, that should be a title for a movie...

Caution without the Lust

I just came back from watching Lust, Caution.

I won't talk much about it since there is a lot of hype around already. With so much demand and talk about it, my guess is that within the next three months, the R21 version will come to our screens once the NC16 version finishes its run.

My prediction only ah.

*I hope distributiors here is this damn sly*

Sick

I need a lot of air. I feel like vomiting.

Sleep

I can be so busy that I can forget to sleep.

Every time just before I get to bed, I am reminded of the next to-do. And I tend to do them even though I can get to it the next day.


God, why sleep has to be so important? It's just a waste of time.

Speaking of which, I need to get into a coma now.

Yawn

Film Marketing & Packaging

I always love how films are being marketed and packaged. This one attracted me recently.

Insurance People on the Streets

Damn funny.

I was walking along Orchard when a lady with a clipboard comes up to me. I know she is going to try to sell me insurance. I usually don't entertain them, but this time I decided otherwise.

I was dressed in a black shirt with sleeves rolled up and a pair of jeans. Wearing shades, I was looking bad ass.

She walks with me and begins to ask questions.

I constantly pretend to look behind me once in a while as I answered her.

And then she asked, "May I ask what do you do?"

I stopped. I looked at her through the shades and I said, "I work for the government."

She replied, "Oh."

Hanging her head and walk away saying thanks, she didn't see me smile.

MAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

What? I'm speaking the truth what.

More Robot Chicken!

I love the series! Here's the Star Wars Edition. Please watch the top video first.





Hehehehehehahahahaha...

Another One?

Honesty, I'm tired of it already. Yes I did spend a lot of time on it back when I was younger. The game rocks, the movie over hyped (which went to Cannes by the way), the sequels to the game and movie got bad reviews and now this.



Yes Aerith Gainsborough, it was tragic when you died. Especially when I trained you to super high level with the top limit break which is damn hard to get. Yes the music was overwhelming and it made me cry.

But please, enough already.

FFVII's story should be completed.



Having that said, I won't forget the cool experience I got from the Play! Symphony when they played One-Winged Angel.

No more... no more... please... I don't wanna follow the story anymore.

Went to the event and played a few interesting video games with Wayne, Lester and Norainah. I will definitely get a Playstation 3 when I get the blues and reds.

Stupid For You Covers!

Wow, it's more popular than I thought! Here's some YouTubers singing to the song! This first one is the original:



That's lots of covers for some song that got famous from YouTube! Try playing all of them together!

YouTube Talents

I'm sure you guys heard of different versions of Rihanna's Umbrella, especially by Marie Digby or Mandy Moore.

But listen to Marie Digby, original talent without the marketing.

Here's her original song Stupid For You:

And here's another cute cover of it:

Another one:


Audience have spoken. Marketing can only take you so far, but talent is EVERYTHING.

But don't try to be cute by playing both videos together to see if they can duet. It doesn't work, already tried.

A New Kind of Lifestyle

Life is pretty much like your own handphone.

Mine was once new, and many add-ons were made, and blings-blings from love ones, and scratches were made, and dropped a few times.

But guess what, time to move on and start afresh.

Yeah! Now I'm connected everywhere!

I Am - !

Live Earth Theory

It's all about the money.

I'm sure you guys have heard of how the Live Earth event has caused more waste than how to save as it rallies.

I have been thinking about it and I have a theory. Keyword: Theory.

There will be some who will disagree with me but remember, it's a theory. If you wanna discuss, yes please, but don't turn it personal.

Okay, here goes:

Let's calculate how many artists are there = 150.
How many acts are there since some artists perform together = About 90?
Let's calculate the amount of audience at the concerts = Dunno. Let's put it as X

So let 90 acts be hundred percent - 100%

Among the 100%, I think only 10% are already disbanded bands who came together just for Live Earth. So make this 90%.

Have I gone Matrix Reloaded? Try to keep up.

Now ask yourselves this: for the 90%, wouldn't the artists themselves have their own concerts anyway?

Here's the audience calculated = X divided by 90% = A

So A is the estimated amount of audience at their own concerts.

Will that total 90% amount almost sum up to the audience at Live Earth?

A times 90% = X

Would the energy wasted be around the same?

Let energy per concert per artist be B.

Energy used in Live Earth divided by X = B

Then,

B times 90% = Live Earth?

So the producers had got them together for the same event at maybe zero cost? And with the concerts recorded for broadcasting live and reruns, wouldn't the producers get money out of the broadcasters?

And they haven't even come out with DVDs yet. Imagine that they did. How much more will they earn?

Would you agree with this equation:

(B times 90%) + (A times 90%) = Live Earth but with some extra bucks?

And come on, the event ended not so long ago, it's too early to say if the message of saving earth has worked.

Only time will tell, so quit saying that it's wrong for the event to happen...for now.

It created more awareness no?

Sorry about the maths...

It Begins...

Picking up the pieces of The Moment has started.

Production blog will begin soon as well.

Coma Welcomed

This happened last morning.

I woke from my sleep. My eyes opened but my body refused to move. I wasn't sure if I didn't want to move or I couldn't. I could feel the fan blowing in my direction. My breaths are still deep.

But I just refuse to move.

I went back to sleep. I can feel that I am getting deeper and deeper into blank thoughts, deep into nothing.

Lunch time came and the same thing happened. People thought I was dead.

I am usually not negative or depressed. But that morning, I didn't care if I was alive or not.

Maybe I am just too tired.

I didn't wake till this morning and I am still want to sleep.

Once Upon A Time In The West
Originally uploaded by charles_carmen

Sergio Leone is truly one of my favorite directors. After The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, this one really blew my mind away.

Where else can you find Henry Fonda as a believable villain? It also has my favorite moments in film: very little dialogue.

Once Upon A Time In The West is, truly classic.

I'm back in love with western since the era of gay cowboys once destroyed it.
