Recycling the same old title again.
Well, nothing much for the past few days. Installed MSN messenger on sun, and had a short conversation with Eugene. Only on mon then i realised how stupid i was not to install an MSN msenger long long time ago. Chatted with Rajes, Minghao n Kheng Lin on various stuff and asked the boys if they would like to go for countdown this yr, cos kl and i had never being to a countdown b4. It's with Katja, Lilian and Charles on sch n private affairs. Sorry, no one's entitled to listen to whatever we say for tdy only.
Went to Sengkang community library at Compass Point today to borrow HR txbk, thanks to the active participation of students who borrowed all the necesary books away. Pretty disappiinted with Compass Point. Size was rather small, slightly smaller and shorter than Tampines Mall. Somehow i just feel that it was somekind of similar with NTUC Hougang Mall. God, that place was like shit. 4get it.
And headed straight to Orchard as i have time. Went to HMV to look for Before Sunset's soundtrack, but guess what? Happen to saw A-Ha's latest album! Yeah yeah yeah! But don't be too happy. That's not an new album. It's a collection of their popular hits for the past 20yrs, and that of xourse includes Take On Me. By looking at the cover of the album, could tell that all the 3 adventurous boys has now become adventurous man. Morten Harket, Magne Furulhomen and Paul Wakktar Savoy no longer looks young. (Wait, the title of the album is known as Singles 1984-2004, and it will only be on sale in US from next sun onwards.) and oh yes, i am going to buy it, cos some of the tracks are remix version! But i have to get Before Sunset 1st, if not, i will ended up go and get the album tested in all cd outlets and that sounds very stingy.
On the way to Hotle Phoenix The Cake Shop, i was looking at what was available there and someone just called me, telling me to look behind. Heheh, none other than Yensie, my pri sch mate who orgainse the gathering. And surprisingly she is working there. Haha, just another short talk before sunset. If u had watched Before Sunset before, u get what i mean.
But sad to say, Before Sunset did not receive any Golden Globe 05 nominations... the list of nominees are out and once again, Uma receives her 2nd nomination in Best Actress. And the movie represent her? Kill Bill Vol 2. If u still remember, she was nominated last yr with Kill Bill Vol 1. Haha, she receives 2 nominations by the same film for the 2 consecutive yrs. Also on the list includes Cate Blanchette, with The Aviator gain her an nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Oh yeah, if ya know, she was nominated for Best Actress as well, with Joel Schumacher's Veronica Guerin help her getting an nomination, but lost to Charlize Theron in the end. Scarlette Johanson was once again nominated for her role in A Love Song for Bobby Long. And once again, Nicole Kidman is back to the list, with Birth as her weapon for the Golden Globe. After playing the infamous lesbian in Boy's Don't Cry, Hilary Swank makes her return to the list with Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby. Oh yeah, Congrets to Clint Eastwood. He was nominated again this year with additional 4 nominations: Best Director and Best Picture, Morgan Freeman with best supporting actor and Best original score. OK, one of the good film worth waiting after Mystic River.
And next congrets to Jamie Foxx, the former foul mouth actor who receives 2 nominations: Best supporting actor (in Michael Mann's Collateral with Tom Cruise), Best actor in a comedy/musical (playing the late jazz legend Ray Charles in Taylor Hackford's Ray). As for best picture, it's unlikely that all will reach the local theatres by this yr: The Aviator (20 Jan), Closer (highly recommended adult drama featuring Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Clive Own and Natalie Portman. General release here soon.), Hotel Rwanda (no info), Kinsey (an A graded sex drama starring Liam Neeson, where it discuss male and sexuality before and after marriage.) and Million Dollar Baby. As for Best Picture in a comedy/musical, one animation was nominated. Charles and most of teen's fav: Incredibles. The rest are proper movies, which includes Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Jim Carrrey's out of his world comedy with Kate Winslet), Ray, Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera and Sideways.
The Best foreign film category this year is a great yeah! and a great boo.... The Motorcycle Diaries and The Sea Inside represents Brazil and Spain, despite the fact that both are Spanish films. 2 French dramas: The Choir Boys and upcoming highly anticipated A Very Long Engagement! 3 Cheers to Audrey Tautout and Jean Pierre Jeunet! Viva La Audrey Tautou! the great boo was...Zhang Yimou's shitty swordfighting film, House of Flying Dggers. A disgrace to the Chinese. Just don't get it why the foreign critics would treat a piece of shit as a piece of jewel. Oh yeah, that Lao Mou Zi is making a swordfighting film again, and is even inviting Jackie Chan to act in the shit, and Jackie kindly agreed.
Mabey its time Lao Mou Zi go back to his previous professon: a factory worker.
