SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind. For your convenience, I have posted a list of posts which I thought is pretty informative in my own way that you might find interesting. The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.


OFFBEAT STUFF

There is this one section in here that features offbeat stuff that are not entertainment based. The section is known as FUNN STUFF [COMMENTS & OPINIONS].

 
PERSONAL FAVOURITES

There are 3 sections in here that contain my personal favourites of all kinds. THE DDGs [COMMENTS & OPINIONS] which features specially made websites by myself with info & all related stuff of my favourite stars or stars I like to talk about, MEDIA & MUSIC FILES [DOWNLOADS] which has my favourite VODs and music files, most of them are taken from Chinese & Korean dramas & movies and some of which I am hosting for my net friends and THE STORYTELLERS [WEBSITES], where you'll find stories written by amateur writers like you and I.

Shocking! 
Permanent link Post a Comment

First of all James Bond. Rumour has it it could be Eric Bana! I mean great choice but didn't Eric Bana ruled himself out? Come on, Hugh Jackman man! Hugh Jackman. I just realised James Bond must be at least 6 feet tall so that rules out Colin Farrell. Good!

Next Hollywood's remake of Infernal Affairs. No Brad Pitt! I was hoping to see Johnny Depp as the police mole and Brad Pitt as the triad mole. But now they apparently have Leo Di Caprio as the police mole and Matt Damon as the mafia mole set in Boston. Leo is a great actor but Matt? Can he handle the emotions that Tony Leung did so well? Is Leo as cool as Andy Lau who gave one of his finest performances? I wonder who plays Eric Tsang's role. In fact I wonder how the movie will turn out.

Finally I saw the trailer of Mediacorp's Spice Siblings. First of all, it's in Shuang Xing which I did not subscribe to so darn! Next I was shocked to see Jeannette Aw, sweet innocent Jing Jing now that bitchy mean looking girl! I tell you an actor is an actor. In Singapore it can be so drastic. I am still shocked at seeing Dr Fang so un-Dr Fang like in Viva La Famille. Now Jing Jing! Then there's Cynthia Koh whom I think is playing someone nice instead of her bitchy Yan Yan? Then there's Shaun Chen as the playboy (not that bad actually) when he as Xiao Xin was so loving and all. Shocking! Only in Singapore, where one actor plays one character and then the next an extreme opposite and did both roles as well, if not one is better though I am still trying to get used to the changes. I guess it's because the industry is small, there is only so many people. Jeannette was bitchy in the trailer but not half as bitchy as Cynthia Koh in Holland V. I suspect she is not that a good actress but she is popular.

Now come back to TVB actors. Same role, same situation. No variety. I long to see Bowie Lam as a villain again, I long to see Moses Chan as someone really really despicable, I long to see Charmaine Sheh as a bitchy woman, I long to see Sonija Kwok playing a comatose patient throughout the series. But what do I get? Same old same old. But I must mention Bobby Au Yeung. He used to play man who has a past, a man with an agenda, something troubling him, a hard man then when he became too famous, he played the underdog, the silly loving fat guy. Now in Take My Word For It, he trimmed down to a very good body shape, dressed in very beautifully and smartly cut clothes (I swear, best fashion in a series) and in a role that is very hard to like. I love the scenes where he walks into his house and starts scolding his brother, his parents, his sister, everybody. This is the Bobby I want to see, mature, successfull and mean as hell. Great performance if you ask me, because something different.

Next up I saw a trailer starring Roger Kwok with a very stylish hairstyle. Didn't quite catch the title yet but it looks interesting. I hope to see Roger as a villain again. In fact I hope to see a famous face as a villain.

Ok, back to reality. Someone wrote in an email to me the following:-

"Btw, I have never seem anyone so obsess with a series he/she hasn't seen even 1 episode at all (correct me if I am wrong, but that's impression I get from your post - u repeatly said you have not watch it). Why are u so obsess with Power Of Love? Is it because of Shaun? :D"

I won't reveal who but you know who you are. Why I am sharing this is because I never thought of it as obsession but thanks for bringing me back to reality. True I am obsessed with a series I have yet to watch and will probably dislike it when I do watch it. I am waiting for the VCDs. If Shuang Xing shows it I will subscribe to Shuang Xing. Why? Well my reply to this person ...

"Anyway yes you got me! I haven't watched one single episode and there I was talking about it. I am not obsessed with it but I am just appalled at Mediaworks for having ZERO promo on this series. I mean no website, no trailers, no pictures. Nothing! In a way it is because of Shaun Chen I am promoting it because he was insulted enough when he was at mediacorp and also because fellow malaysian, so rare got one who is good looking and can act. Ok ok I can hear you "Ewwww he's not good looking" but to me he is. Have you seen Holland Village? Because if you have you would love him! I hate his hair in Power of love though. It's funny. Everybody is oohing and ahhing about Esther (I love her actually, excellent actress) and Guo Liang (like who is he?!) but there is me, alone talking about Shaun this and Shaun
that. I am sure the series sucks in many ways or maybe it is a good series but anyway let me have this perfect picture in me. Am I the only one who likes dear Shaun? Support a bit lar! Malaysian what!"


In retrospect I really watched Holland V diligently because of Shaun Chen. True! I am at that age where I shouldn't obsess about some actor but I am right now. Not like I will stalk or hunt him down but I am just so excited that there is someone worth idolising that came from Malaysia even if he had a bad reputation. In my soon to premier The DDGs, I wrote this about him ...

"Why be a lecher when you can be a lothario, a far more attractive trait to a woman?"

Something like that, not in exact words. I am glad the scandal has died down. I just wish he just move to a more prominent TV station because Mediaworks has no PR department, it seems.

Anyway I hope someone will capture a media file with his voice in it. I am curious, how does he sound like? 40 VCDs which I will purchase will worth that price I guess. Now this is obsession.
