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].

LOOKOUT! Fans stampede!! 
Permanent link Post a Comment

I kept remembering this one line from The Electric New Paper which was reporting on the film festival at was it Pusan? It said that Bae Yong Jun did not attend the festival citing security reason and the writer wrote "fans stampede" as the security reason. THAT was funny.

Anyway, I stumbled into THIS REVIEW of Untold Scandal and one particular line that got my full attention...

Leading man Bae Yong-jun, who made his name appearing in commercials, performs with a grating lack of expression, which reduces the film to a single emotional plane.

Is Winter Sonata a commercial? Maybe, for some snow resort or maybe snow mobile eh? Or maybe he did make his name in commercials like decades ago...I don't really know much about Mr Bae compared to Mr Jang.

Lucky for this reviewer he was not in Japan or any part in Asia when the review was published , if not I am very sure he will be crushed, pan like meat!

I for one thought the movie was ok BUT shocking. Never though Mr Bae is so eager for action scenes you know!

Another one on Taegukgi and I personally feel like sitting on this reviewer, like really really sit on him..

As they fight to prevent her execution, the brothers become fugitives from their own army. This somehow leads to the hyper-patriotic Jin-Tae defecting and becoming a symbol for North Korean propaganda, setting up a brother-against-brother climax that defies belief. Many movies lose their way coming out of the second act, but few plunge from stirring to stupid as quickly or as fully as "Tae Guk Gi."

Clearly my friend, you missed the point. Hyper patriotic was never the word to describe Jin Tae, take it from someone who have watched this movie 3 times in full!

This other review on Taegukgi is funny...

In the rare moments when a rifle, grenade, howitzer, bayonet, dagger, fist, land mine, or flamethrower isn't being deployed, the film pushes its melodramatic plotline with soap operatic shamelessness.

Well I agree...this movie is meant to make you cry and so is Titanic anyway! And in war one needs THAT much of weapons anyway. Did it mention rice balls as well?

And why they all kept saying JDG looks like Chow Yun Fatt? Ok sometimes but no, I find him more handsome than Chow Yun Fatt! Oh please..first some compares his talent with Brad Pitt, then about his career as fruitful and great as Tom Cruise and now looks like Chow Yun Fatt?

Urghhh....

Anyway, have you come across any professionally written review of some famous movies (that has both fans and haters) that are particularly nasty? Post them under this post of mine!

By the way what's the big deal about Desperate Housewives? To think that I have to miss ONE episode of War & Beauty every Tuesday so that my family can watch this shallow series is really beyond me. Yes, it's shallow. Even House MD has more wit and depth than this series when it is talking about bowel movements.

Oh my God! Fans stampede!! RUNNNNNNNNNNNN.................

hi funn

BYJ did appear in lots of commercials and advertisements, for LG and Ray-Bann most notably. I don't know what else, sorry. But the Ray-Bann ads were more recent. I think he was chosen because of his "famous" glasses. :D
