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.

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.

2009 : Lost Memories 
Permanent link Post a Comment

Watched this movie again just now and I stand by my review. It's still too long, too many shootings but the acting by the two leads still great. But I disagree with my friend who said JDG looked the best in here. Nope, still All About Eve for me whilst body wise, The Coast Guard.

Anyway I was watching the making of, and there was this segment called Sakamoto, JDG's character in the movie. A special section for him and I wondered what eh? It was mostly about his attempt to speak Japanese in I guess the 1st dai of shooting a scene with Japanese dialogue in it. He NGed like 10 times and had to do it I think 2 more times to get it right. It was a very interesting segment, the hard work JDG put into it whilst his co-star whose name escape me right now as so very patient with him. True professionals, both of them.

Then there was this segment about all of them taking shooting lessons. JDG did ok, but he won't kill you. THe Japanese co-star I think missed it all. It was very funny to see them gloating in a way who is the better shot.

I will cut out the Sakamoto segment for you to see. I could differentiate between the Japanese dialogue and the Korean dialogue. I pity JDG though; it was a tongue twister scene.

I think in The Promise he will have a better and easier time since Mandarin is less tongue twister. With the dedication I saw in this segment, really I have no doubt he will get the words right. And he even managed to squeeze in some acting also.

There were a lot of various segments like how he ended up in the hospital and signing loads of autograph and all.

Anyway guess how JDG communicated with his fellow Japanese co-star? How? Ahhhhh the universal language. NO! Not wink and sign language. ENGLISH. Surprising eh?

Anyway, I got my Sims 2 today. Wow is my only reaction. Wow! Wow! Wow! So my new computer is worth it after all!!

Hey Funn, glad to know you are starting to play Sims 2. Oh yeah. try getting the husband smooch in bed with someone else and let getting the wife into the room, catching them red handed. It so cool! I tried that once. The wife went insane till the psychiatrist had to come. And she slapped the husband. haha. You can also try vice versa though. Haha.

Ermm Anonymous, JDG fan?? Anyway he is not fluent in Japanese. He does not know Japanese. the way he said the words were wayyyyy too fast that the Japanese actor had to say "Try slower". Why we all think he is fluent is because he spoke Japanese ..how to spell that P word? Anyway he learned it all by heart but I doubt he understood much of them anyway.

Adelyn, I was shocked to know you can play woo-hoo in this game. I tried it and I thought oh my god! Very addictive but the zooming and all very confusing! I should try that and see what happens..I wonder is this game like really PG rated-ish? Is there like a sex party or something? I am still shocked.

Funn, emm... i don't think there's a sex party..

oh.. i forgot to mention something. I've got so many friends who played this game before, BUT I'm the only one, that I know so far, who had a sim couple who had 2 sets of twins!

Wonder if anyone else had that experience while playing the game..

emm.. i forgot to mention that in the sims, falling in love doesn't mean heterosexual love. You can have gay or lesbian couples too.

Adelyn, not that I am miss innocent or anything but I was shocked. After reading what you wrote, I created TWO female and yep, they kissed and all! The Sims 2 is a bit too adult don't you think? So far no orgies but I would never let my nephew play this. It would be even more raunchier if they let us choose the pace of the Woo-Hoos but then that would be like those adult games.

But still GREAT game, although very limited choices. What's great though I found some cheat codes and I successfully put Dae Jang Geum's song into the POP folder and now my Sim is dancing to that song!! I am learning to put Jang Dong Gun's picture and videos in the house.

Anyway do you know how I can evict a family from a home? I can't seem to find the bulldoze button.

From the neighbourhood, click on the families button, there will be a button that shows three sims with an arrow, click that, then click on the house of the family you want to evict and they'll be put into the sim bin.

Yeah, i guess its a rather adult game, you can woohoo your spouse and and then divorce and woohoo someone else (not necessarily in that order) haha. But still, the woohoo in this game is still under the blankets.

Anyway, Funn, so far what have you tried out? you should try the spouse cheating thing. That was one of the most entertaining feature in the game.

But if you want the marriage to still be going on strong, then make sure the spouse isn't in the same room. Also don't do it in front of other friends and neighbours because they will start gossiping till the rumours spread to the spouse. But of course if the spouse comes to know about it and is greatly affected then you can opt for a divorce, in which one of them will just pack up and leave.

One thing i can't really stand is the amount of homework the kids get though. And the amount of hospitality you got to put in to bootlick the headmaster into letting your kids into private school. Seducing him wouldn't work.

Pardon my ignornat.. what game is this ....

Its a game called the Sims 2. It is an improvement of the game the Sims.

Its a very cool game. You should try it. You get to build up en entire neighbourhood. You can build houses and families and you can play with them. So basically you are God in this game. You get to pick the number of family members, edit their facial and emotional features, their goals and aspirations, etc. You can build individual characters and get them to meet, date and marry. THey can woohoo in bed and hopefully the wife may get pregnant. Then you can watch the birth of a newborn baby, with genes almost similar to that of his parents. You can name the baby and watch him grow. You can take care of him, socialize him or get him to learn new skills, which will ultimately affect how he will turn out as an adult. So then the parents can grow old and die while the children grow up and get married. Its a life cycle.

Basically, you can socialize all your characters in which ever way you want, based on your imagination and fantasies. You can build a happy family, or a homosexual couple. You can kill your sims prematurely or let them have extramarital affairs. They can be a doctor, or a policeman or a thief. Or they can just be a slacker at home. Its all up to you.

This game is about your life and your fantasies. =)
