I have been updating-on another new site that is. Yes, Madame Michaelis (cough) has joined up on Twitter ever since she collected her iPhone. After a short scare of missing credit, I think everything has calmed down.
With this phone I’m assuming I can leech off the wireless wherever I go! (: At the moment, I have updated tons on my Twitter. In short bursts. So, if you’re up to it, feel free to visit me at paperrie@twitter.
Of the past.
So many things happen in the past week-and I was too lazy to post anything. I mean, when you only have a one-liner in your head, it doesn’t do a post justice unless the line is particularly full of impact, etc.
On September 11, Cindi celebrated her 15th birthday while America (and the rest of the world) remembers the bombing of the World Trace Center. So striking are the memories (even though I wasn’t there at the scene) that it does trigger a wave of emotions when I watched a documentary that consisted of footage shot by people on that day.
And also:
This is it. There is never a more fitting title to kick off the movie and closing the curtains to a memorable life. You will be someone whom we will always remember as well, Michael.
I’m heading out for lunch later and I can’t wait. (: And yes, our long awaited semester break has finally begun. But strangely, I’m not feeling anything yet. And the week is passing by so incredibly fast. Sorry, Vicky! D: I feel so bad. Sigh.
I’ve yet to compile together a list of movies that I intend to see in the cinemas towards the end of the year. So here goes, from what I remember at least.
District 9
I watched it on Monday with my classmates, to celebrate our uh, sem break. A part of me thought that it was quite an eye opener and also a different perspective of alien films for once. Surely not all aliens are ruthlessly cruel like us humans. I felt sadness, pity and also disgust really. Or rather, I had no clue that we just watched an 18-rated movie. These days I hardly notice the ratings, since I’m already of age anyway. I think I covered my eyes at some point. It was quite gory, and those scenes doesn’t involve aliens. I’m lucky that I can sleep. I couldn’t sleep the night after I watched an episode of Kuroshitsuji. Shame on me, yes. Go on.
Sherlock Holmes
The fact that Robert Downey Jr is in it already spells success! 8D For the inner fangirl in me, I’d totally watch it. Robert is hot, and he just about rocks every movie he is in (except Tropic Thunder which was really rather gross and horny). And Sherlock Holmes is an ‘old’ film, meaning that it dates back to quite a bit of a stretch. I love movies like that because it takes you back, y’know? Or maybe I just like to watch old films to ogle their costume designs. Not too sure about Jude Law’s Watson, but Sherlock Holmes=full of awesome win. There’s a bit of a demonic cult thing going on in the film, I think. So this means I’m all set for Iron Man II next year!
Dorian Gay Gray
As gay as it may be (literally), there’s something about it that compels me to go and watch this movie. If it shows in my country. Ben Barnes annoy me to no avail, but I will still give this movie a chance because I like the classic tale and it’s another ‘old’ movie. Yes. Sue me. (: But the costume designs are interesting! If I’m not mistaken, it releases on 09.09.09. Because they missed the triple 6 mark, I suppose.
Jennifer’s Body
I don’t know if I really want to see this one. Unless Jason wants to go. It stars Megan Fox, who is a small town girl who gets possessed by a demon (.) and goes around eating boys to sate her appetite. Should have seen Andrew’s face when I told him. The trailer’s pretty gross, but if you are a die-hard fanboy for Ms. Fox, go ahead, eat your heart out. Pun intended, haha.
The Cove
It’s a documentary about the dolphin slaughter in Japan. A bunch of Americans snuck into the cove and bugged the place with cameras and video cams etc. And they came up with sad and shocking clips. I think that it’s a film that should be shown worldwide to promote animal cruelty awareness. It’s something everyone should know. I respect Japan for many things, but their act of whaling and dolphin killing for ‘research’ is a heap of rubbish and everyone knows that. Kudos to those people who fought tooth and nail to deliver those footage to the big screen.
New Moon
Yeah, I don’t know why am I putting this up anyway. But as disastrous as the first film may be, I decided to give the second one a chance. I’m such a chance giver. Rob and Kristen, please get your act together and have more chemistry, please. And Taylor, do try to be more uh, manly? Another sparkling scene and I think I will die from hysterics.
9
Tim Burton’s movies always have this charm. I love his original ideas and quirks that he injects into his movies. And they are always so out there. This movie has characters that (to me) resembles beanie pencil cases. And something about a post apocalyptic world with man versus machines. Alice in Wonderland next year!
The Time Traveler’s Wife
I’m itching to read the book now. I know that novels-to-films have a high chance of disappointing. But the chemistry is really there. And it’s so sweet. Or maybe I’m a sucker for time traveling films. Imagine your husband time hopping!
I have to pay Kinokuniya a visit soon. I’m sorely lacking in art books. I can’t believe it that my friends have bajillions of them. I only have about 5. But either way, it’s not that I’m competing for the Guinness Book anyway. I think I need a good book on either photography or watercolor. Photography lessons were fun. I enjoyed my semester because of that. And our lecturer was so kind. So should I even consider getting a DSLR, or just change our point-and-shoot camera? But that’s not important.
I’m still waiting for my iPhone 3GS. Check out Entertainment Weekly’s 17 Characters who are Charming but Deadly! My husband Sylar is on the list! He brings the sex appeal. And it’s mo’ fresh! (Kris Allen reference) 8D Allow me a minute of spazzing. There’s also a list of 20 fall movies.
I know that there’s somebody missing from that Charming yet Deadly list. *hint, hint*. I can totally see him now. Haha.
In your movies, pimping your outfits.
Gosh, how I missed this trilogy! The director for the three films will not be returning for the fourth installment as well. Without him and Keira Knightley, we will just have to see how the next continuation turns out. It starts shooting in 2010. How long is that.
Guilty for not writing.
