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.


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].

Arghhhh moments in life ... 
Permanent link Post a Comment

is when you come across something you wish happened much earlier and damn it! Damn it all! It's damn cheaper! DAMN IT ALL!! Feel like buying this one BUT defeats the purpose since I have it already BUT DAMN IT! DAMN ITTTTT!!!!

Anyway I came across this interesting post at New TVB Discussion Forum where well the contents speak for itself...

I saw this in a recent HK magazine, it is the ranking of TVB actresses most favoured by TVB. What do guys think, do you agree or not?

1. Kenix Kwok
Since losing best actress award to Liza Wang, Kenix said she would not be filming Tai Chi. So executive Lok Yi Leng invited Kenix out for lunch in an attempt to pursuade Kenix into taking the role.
Star rating: 5

2. Gigi Lai
Since winning the fave actress award last year for War and Beauty, Gigi’s star status has been on the rise and is one of the firm favourites of TVB. She has been offered the leading roles in many of TVB's big productions. She also has very good connections within TVB, been very close friends with TVB top manager Lok Yi Leng. Her star power is such that The Dance of Passion, in which Gigi is starring in, will also be aired earlier than expected.
Star rating: 5

3. Myolie Wu
Myolie’s one of the younger generation of actresses. She is well-known for her obedience to TVB. She is also one of the leading actresses in Tai Chi, with equal importance with the other leading female parts. Myolie also has the full support of Liza Wong, who praises her constantly in front of TVB managers, gaining her much credibility within TVB.
Star rating: 4

4. Jessica Hsuan
Jess has managed to held onto her place within TVB this year. With the success of Life Made Simple, Jess will remain one of the favourites of TVB.
Star rating: 4

5. Charmaine Sheh
After losing the fave actress award for the past several years, Charmaine’s popularity with TVB has decreased significantly. 2005 has not been a good year for Charmaine, Yummy Yummy did not get high ratings and TVB has put off showing her other series until after the anniversay. Audience reaction to her new series Always Ready has been very poor. By purposely airing the show after the anniversary, this clearly indicates that TVB does not think the series will do well.
Star rating: 3

6. Maggie Cheung
Maggie has caught typhoid illness after filming in Mainland and is forced ot take a break. Maggie is clearly no longer in TVB's favour and she has fallen very far since her glorious days in 2003 when she won the fave actress award.
Star rating: 2


Sorry if I throw cold water on your head but really? I don't think so. The best way to know is who stood in the middle of the group photo during the anniversary and that is the most favoured person. Jess is favoured. Charmaine is more favoured than this article admits. Gigi Lai as much as I hate it is very much favoured. I don't like the tone about Myolie and Maggie. Myolie doesn't need Lisa Wong's praises to get ahead as she was rising. Her rise is fast since it's just a few years so she is very much favoured, and should be since out of the list she is one of those very few who wins her reputation by her ability to act really well. Maggie is sick, so can't expect her to act when sick right? If I remembered correctly she was about to start new series when she became sick so how can this article say she is not favoured?

The above stars are all favoured by TVB. Those star rating is useless basis towards their favoured and popularity. But for Kenix to be at the top is not true. I feel Jess is more on top than Kenix. Charmaine should be more up and yes I reluctantly agree Maggie should be bottom since she is not seen. But when she is well again she will come back in full force.

And how blatantly clear can this article be about TVB's role in the awards eh? See! See! Gigi Lai never won on merit, it was because TVB wanted her to win. This artciel destroys the credibility of TVB awards by saying it's voted by fans. If you can believe this piece of crap...

Anyway...still depressed over JDG not coming to Malaysia and NOW THAT DVD THING! Even more depressed. Anyone see me online on Google Talk do Google me to make sure I am alive instead of being figuratively dead you know. So frust!!!!

I seriously think this was written by a random assistant at whatever the hell the "article" came from. Obviously, Jessica is favored the most. It's been like that for years. She can get up on stage, go number 2 and she'll get nominated for Best Actress. Seriously. I think TVB may be hanging Kenix at the door, deciding whether or not to take her in or leave her out. She's obviously not with their management team, but she cannot seem to leave them. So, I guess TVB doesn't know what to do with her. Her performance skill alone can't rescue her because, frankly, she's ain't that great. An actress without an outstanding track record is an artist endangered. At least other actresses like Jessica, Ada, Maggie, etc. can answer to a good track record of having series with good ratings or, for Ada and Maggie, consistent good to outstanding performances.
I just wanted to say one more thing regarding the comments made about Maggie Cheung. I think the writer is very misinformed. This woman refused to answer to TVB's request to re-join their management team, twice, they robbed her! Her performance in Plain Love II was robbed as she declined to re-sign with their team. Once again, for Burning Flame II, she didn't get a nod because she wouldn't sign with their managers. They finally gave in and gave her the award anyway for King of Yesterday and Tomorrow. She still wouldn't sign with them. They still offer her leading roles. And though she left them for a year to film in China, upon her return, she still gets offered leading roles. Does this sound like an artist who is not favored by TVB? She has integrity. She does what's right for her. She doesn't sell out. I have no doubt that upon her return, she'll make a good comeback.
