There is a FAQ [MAIN] database in this website where you will find info on how to link to this website, answers to some tech problems found in pages within this website as well as a great feature where you can post questions in relevant categories & I'll answer them. Try it out!


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].

Typhoon Vs The Promise 
Permanent link Post a Comment

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us VS Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us


And so both movies shall be released in Dec 2005, I am sure much to the frustration of Mr Jang himself since now he has to learn how to split himself into 2 to promote BOTH movies during the same month as he is contractually and passionately obliged to. But which one will you watch? I mean you can watch both but which one you want to watch MORE?

I personally am more interested in Typhoon, not because I dislike Cecilia Cheung (who looks very pretty simply I think because this movie was filmed what? 2 years ago or 3 years ago when she still looked human? Or maybe like they all said camera will put in 10 pounds on a person? In her case, maybe 50 pounds more?) nor is it because I like Jang Dong Gun's ultra thin starving tatooed scarred look.

I saw the pictures of the Promise and it is being touted as Asia's LOTR. Bad association because now everybody would expect it to be at least half as good as LOTR when I saw the pictures, the CGI looked rather fake. The costume though fantasy type but still strange looking and the posters plain weird. The promo pictures were rather inadequate. LOTR is fantasy but Legolas looked more real than The Promise' set. I have a feeling I won't like it much, except for JDG who looked at first like a real slave (but well fed slave) and then a handsome but weird looking long haired hero (and a very well fed one). So yeah, I'll watch it because when it comes to my favourite actor, I'll watch it to support him a bit. Maybe I might regret my post here. It might be good.

Pirate Ssin or the slave Kunlun?


Typhoon looks mighty interesting, because I want to see how the director is going to make us sympathise with the title character called (catch this!) PIRATE SSIN. I mean if not what's the point? You don't make a terrorism type of movie in these days when terrorism is like the worst word to ever utter by human beings, when the lines between terrorism and freedom fighting is like so blurred that no one cares anymore for the line. So Pirate Sin will have a just cause, a full sad background and a fantastic death I guess after he redeemed himself in some ways? If not why would JDG take on a role with no purpose than to hate? There must be a purpose since there are only TWO male leads in here meaning one is the catalyst of the other, the other the conscience of the other you know.

Which is why Typhoon sounds more interesting to me. But The Promise is interesting too I guess. I am sure it will be a smashing hit. I mean hear JDG speak Mandarin! See Cecilia Cheung with ex BF Nicholas Tse! Wahhhh very gossipy. But somehow I like the look of Typhoon better. But both movies are as different as Al Qaeda members and Sikhs!

Anyway, if you want to check out these upcoming movies, check out Typhoon at http://www.typhoonthemovie.com/ and The Promise at http://www.thepromise.sina.com.cn/


or simply hop to

http://www.jang-donggunggun.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi but I must warn you, if you don't like JDG you might suffer from too much of JDG there. But it's a good place to start to look for infos on these movies in English.

I still stand by my predictions as posted here eventhough I have read some very major spoilers for The Promise because I am very sure it will be an ultra happy ending type.

Anyway I must share this one picture. Remember my post where I said a thousand dreams broken when I looked at JDG ultra thin look when he was attending some premiere? On second thought, I don't want to cry when looking at that because I then saw these pictures and these made me wanna wail out loud. Good news though; I am sure these pictures were somehow pulled longer for effect OR were taken when he was really into the pirate look because he looked a bit better in that premier picture. But these are still a long long way from the Lost Memories years you know. Don't believe me? Download that SAKAMOTO TMO clip from 2009 Lost Memories in Media and you'll definitely agree. Anyway, let me cry...

NOOOOOOOOOO!NOOOOOOOOO! NONONOONONONONONOONONOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
