BLOGS THAT ARE NOT UPDATED SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN.
the above statement was said to me quite firmly by my cousin Denise TWICE in a week :)
So here i am...
so my blog wont be eligible for "closing down".
So I've watched 2 movies this week:
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
&
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
hmmm.
I actually enjoyed both. Contrary what a dear friend said about Underworld, it is not just the western-fantasy version of Red Cliff. It's really about slavery and my gosh you should see the resemblence some scenes had with Passion of the Christ.. plus the famous line which i'd burst out laughing at. Brace yourselves....

"It is finished."

hahahahahahaa.
Anyway, moving onto Benjamin Button.
Brad Pitt was attractive....... but not that kinda sexy type, nor did i find him particularly desirable. but he truly acted well in the show.. that's what made him so attractive. he portrayed Benjamin Button well..
I especially loved the effects of the shots. How they managed to make Cate Blanchett look like a porcelain doll when she was "young Daisy". Gorgeous, I say. and the hair colour! If any tng lang (hokkien for Chinese) should try to attempt the colour, she would just look like nothing more than a chao ah lian (hokkien for the chinese equivalent of your average american street delinquents who think they've got style but oh my gosh they don't know what they really look like).
okay I am VERY impressed with how they DI-ed Pitt's face onto every single frame onto the midget's body to portray the old him at 7 years of age. omg. so very very cool, and so very very hard work. I think they must have also DI-ed his face onto the teenage him...
and I like the effect of the relationship between Benajmin and Daisy. When he was say "70-years-old" and met Daisy, she was 5.
When he died, he died a baby, while Daisy was 70+. That had to have a lot of meaning, right? But Ms Daisy sure lived a long life.... she looked terribly crinkled on her deathbed. In the movie she died I think when Hurricane Katrina was about to hit New Orleans, Louisiana.
Anyway, it was moving, and gave a lot to think about. It wasn't all magical and stuff, Benjamin Button wasn't some famous star for being born old - in fact not many people knew that he was in fact just 7 when he looked 70. I quite liked how realistic the whole story was portrayed. It's like... incongruity. I think?
It's just something that can never happen, but it was made so... natural, the course of his life.....
anyway my mind is still filled with the show, nothing much to think abt now other than that.
it's 4 mths to HK. I'm going to BKK this Saturday and I can hardly wait! we need lots of prayers to keep us safe while we're there tho. I can't deny that I am still a littleeeee bit worried. but yea i trust God to keep us safe. not like as if i knew they were gonna set some stupid deadline on the 15th and went ahead to book anyway. nth was mentioned what.....
okay then so here's the end of my rather long post. happppy?? heh.
