Waking Lfie (2001)

Are you a dreamer?

Man on the Train: I haven’t seen too many around lately. Things have been tough lately for dreamers. They say dreaming is dead, no one does it anymore. It’s not dead it’s just that it’s been forgotten, removed from our language. Nobody teaches it so nobody knows it exists. The dreamer is banished to obscurity. Well, I’m trying to change all that, and I hope you are too. By dreaming, every day. Dreaming with our hands and dreaming with our minds. Our planet is facing the greatest problems it’s ever faced, ever. So whatever you do, don’t be bored, this is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting..

I'm Not There

I watchd 3&1/2(half because 1, i cudnt bear sittin thru) fckin movies today. I kept "I'm Not There" for the last plainly because it didnt sound like it'd be a good movie. But twas a pleasant surprise when i learnt that the movie "I'm Not There" was SOMEWHAT a movie on Bob Dylan. Noticed i've capitalized the word somewhat? Yes, because i stress. Its not a movie on Dylan. But a movie about him?

He is not shown not in one shot, his name is not mentioned not even once, and yet he is omnipresent. Nostalgic carnival, black and white puzzle in wonderful color, subtle kaleidoscope of words and images, which is also a mystery - who, when and where?
Haynes' unconventional biography talking about the life of the legendary Bob Dylan is fascinating as it was all Bob Dylan songs, with the difference that the author is someone else.
Great movie about a great man!

FCKIN LOVED IT!

Definitely have a watch, and if u're not a fan or have not heard any of his works, this movie will most prolly help u with that. Along the movie you will be treated to some of his best(they're all simplehhh awesome btw) music and that might even inspire you to look him up and have u convert!


7 simple rules for life in hiding,
1. Never trust a cop in a rain coat
2. Beware of enthusiasm and of love, each is temporary and quick to sway
3. When asked if you care about the worlds problems, look deep into the eyes of he who asks, he will not ask you again.
4 & 5. Never give your real name, and if told to look at yourself, never look.
6. Never do or say anything that the person standing in front of you cannot understand.
7. Never create anything, it will be misinterpreted, it will chain you and follow you the rest of your life, it will never change.

-Bob Dylan.

Arthur Rimbaud(Ben Whishsaw)quotes it in the movie.

Signs

I get up in the evening and i ain't got nothing to say. I come home in the morning, i go to bed feeling the same way. I ain't nothing but tired. Man I'm just tired and bored with myself.
Hey there baby, i could use just a little help. - Dancin In The Dark, Bruce Springsteen

And the help arrives(fer this 'Jason' fella that is).

Here, its that new vid on fb that makes the ladies go AAWWWWW...
Its a pretty cheesy watch i'd say, but undeniably a fckin good one. Left me in awe and i predict i shall hit the bed feelin all soppy. Bleh.

Oh, if u, like me, think u've seen that babe on the vid sumwhere before, chances are, u've mistaken her fer a celeb who has recently gaind much fame. Care to guess who?

Accidental Husband - Swasame

Not at all funny. The only time i was actually engaged in the movie, so to speak, was wen a coupla familiar tunes played in the background. 'Yaro Yarodi' from Alaipayuthey, and 'Swasame' off Thenali to be precise. Those tamil songs sorta rekindled a nostalgic memory and to think, a cheesy Hollywood chick flick did that?! How disappointingly odd.



The movie, well, was not so worth watchin(unless of cus if u r into those typical chick flicks type movies), but to have stumbled upon songs that trigger certain memories, ah, priceless.

Tony Stark In The Incredible Hulk

Yes indeed.

Don't let hopes ride hi tho, for its only a cameo appearance. Only fer a few seconds at that, and this time - just before the credits start rollin.

I know, i know, a tv trailer may have somewhat suggested otherwise and in a way may have been a spoiler, but hey, i bet it got many more goin fer the movie.

U'd ask, worth watchin?
I'd say, nowhere near Iron Man, but yes la!

Iron Man - Did You Know?

*updated, u can now watch the trailer.

Friends and i went for Iron Man last Sunday and we had lunch just before the movie, at sum place on Gregory St. - C'est Si Bon they call it. I fckin had ROTI CANAI for lunch! How AWESOMENE is that!! ooh.. the down side tho, is i had to pay AUD15 fer a plate, which shud equal to RM45 approx.
Digest that!
Ahh, more on C'est Si Bon's roti canai and nasi lemak next time.

Right now, i'm bummed out for the fact we missed a scene from the movie Iron Man!


Twas at the blardie end of the movie, after the credits!

Damnit, i knew there was sumthing up when people were a lil hesitant to leave while the credits were still rollin!
Haiihs, anyhow, for yous who plan on watchin Iron Man, makes sure u stay glued to yur seat till the very end.

If you have, like us, missed the scene, sweat not, click on the link below for a lousy cinema copy of the scene.
Or.
You could always go for the movie again.

The Mist

'The Mist', adaptated off the novella by Stephen King. I've not read it, but watchin it makes me want to. It's about what happens when you put a bunch of people together in a confined space with bloodthirsty monstrous beings lurkin outside. Horrified, they are pushed to the limits, and the desperation gets the better of them, forcin them into makin bad decisions.
Its just funny, no, sick, how people sometimes minus the human away from the human nature turnin them into 'ugly beasts', no worse than the monstrous beings outside. But, then again, arent we all actually ugly beasts conforming to virtues set? Ponder on. And the ending, was sickly AWESOMENESS, at least i thot it was. I'm not gonna spill here, go watch.

Sighs.

Somehow, somewhat, the morals in this movie has been hauntin me for the past week, makin me wonder if i've made decisions that i'd regret in the future. I dont know! I really DONT! Maybe i've been too quick to judge, too quick to make the wrong step, or maybe i'm just fuckd inside out. AArghh.
I am doin this to miself. I'm puttin other people's wants ahead of mine one too many times. I have to start making choices.. the right ones at that. Fck, i feel like CRAP.

Sighs.

Right now, all i wanna feel is complete nothingness. Or, even better, to have my arms around that cuddly and warm lil thing and slowly fall into a deep slumber. "Silly boy", gently whispered into mi ear every now and then surely would have made the difference. Ahh, i wish.

Bwek.

It's virtually impossible doin all that, across the sea, seeing everyone around doin so much to help themselves and here i am, ramblin about stuffs irrelevance.

Sighs.

You'd say, "Go Get a Life!"
I'd say, "Hmm.. okie."
