I hate Hilary Duff, but I am totally digging one of her song, With Love. The song is too catchy, very eurothrash. It reminds me of Madonna and Kylie, the Queen and Princess of the dance floor. HiDu will not be joining them anytime soon, but the track just got her closer though.

My taste in music just took another hit and this is so not cool!

Caught At World’s End on Saturday. Ultra super duper disappointment. I thought Dead Man’s Chest was bad enough. I don’t know what the hell happen to the trilogy. Black Pearl was an awesome movie, bagging itself 5 Oscar nominations. And then they came out with a series a crappy sequels and it is almost blasphemous. I don’t know if I should blame Gore Verbinski. He directed pretty good films before, The Ring and of course, Black Pearl.

Now that the Flying Dutchman, Black Pearl, bla bla bla. Seriously, I don’t know what the fuck is going on with the movie anymore. I was trying very hard for almost 3 hours to understand the story, but everything was so incomprehensible, I almost kill myself. First of all, why the fuck did they add so many new characters in this movie? The character development has got to be the worst thing in this movie, next to the storyline. While you are still trying to follow a character story, they throw in another dozen. What the fuck is up with that? And oh my god, the ridiculous naming of the ships, then throw in the East Indian Company, and more characters I don’t know where they hell they came from, this movie turn out to be what I think is the biggest mess of the year.

I thought Johnny Depp and Jack Sparrow persona could’ve at least brought in some joy to the movie. Unfortunately, no. The colorful Jack Sparrow from the first movie that we joy and love is no longer the same person. His jokes were staler than a piece of white bread. I remember laughing out loud when I watched Black Pearl few years back. Now, it is hard enough trying to keep up with a smile. I do, however, love the special effects in the movie. It was pretty to look at and at least it kept me from falling asleep. And this is going to sound odd, but is just me or did Tia Dalma/Calypso was totally hornifying? I get like a total boner whenever I look at her. She is so hot in a disturbing kind of way, don’t you think?

To sum up, At World’s End is like watching a live naked woman dancing in front of you for 3 hours. It is pretty to look at, but in the end you still feel unsatisfied because you didn’t get to have sex with her.

Check out this newly released photo of Heath Ledger as the psychotic bugger, The Joker:

This is beyond scary. This is madness all over, and I love it! Knowing that Christopher Nolan is behind all this makes it even more exciting.

The Dark Knight opens in 2008 (damn!).

It has been a while since the last time I watched a horror movie in theater. I think it was Emily Rose (or was it The Hills Have Eyes?). When I saw 28 Weeks Later playing in theater, I got a little excited. I loved the original 28 Days Later, directed by Danny Boyle. Imagine my disappointment when I heard Danny Boyle did not helm 28 Weeks. Instead, they roped in a new director, an Oscar nominee nonetheless, for 1996 Best Short Film, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. But the critics are raving about the movie so I thought I'd give it a shot.


In the original 28 Days Later, London was infected with some sort of virus, an incurable virus that spreads out like wildfire. Whoever got infected with the virus will turn into a zombie. Unlike the slow and retarded zombies in Resident Evil, the zombies in 28 Days/Weeks are the exact opposite. They looked as if they were hooked up on sugar and had too many caffeinated coffees. They were seriously fast. One bite and you turn into one of them. I pretty much forgot the storyline of 28 Days (but it was a pretty awesome movie, with the athletic zombies and everything), but in 28 Weeks, it pretty much picked up where 28 Days left off. London is now under the control of American-led armies, sent by NATO to fight off the virus. Most of London is still virtually cut off from civilization with many survivors still living outside of London. After the American troops declared that London is now free from the virus, slowly they brought back the survivors into London. What they didn’t know is that one bitch is still alive in the city, and even though she is immune to the virus, she can still carry and transmit the virus. Yada yada yada, you should know what happens next. Yep, London is under the virus infection, again. They still don’t have a cure for the virus for the only thing they can do is to kill everyone, even the uninfected. A group of survivors, fearing that their life is in danger now that the American-armed forces were given permission to shoot anything that moves, starts looking for a safe place to hide and get the hell out of there. Did they survive? Well, you gotta watch the movie for yourself.


Like I said, don’t even compare this movie with that sad excuse for a horror flick called Resident Evil. This movie is loads better, and believe it or not, I find it much better than the prequel. You will pretty much be on the edge of you seat for this one, with a lot of “OH MY GOD!” scenes, seriously. But I find the movie more brutal and gruesome than scary. I mean, heads exploding, arms flying about and intestines lying on the street. You will find yourself constantly rooting for the survivors, hoping that the zombies won’t get to them. One bite and you turn into of them. There’s nothing else to do but run. There’s one scene, when the whole thing is done in a night vision mode. Most people hated this scene but I loved it! It was really awesome, with the exception of the girl screaming on top of her lungs, “GO TO THE RIGHT! GO TO THE LEFT! NO! NO!” Man, that was annoying. I could’ve gone without all that screaming and shouting. There were some major and minor plotholes in the movie, if you observe carefully. So the movie is not without its flaws. But for casual moviegoers looking for some cheap and exciting thrills, this movie is definitely for you.


One last thing, the soundtrack in this movie is uber fantastic. I don’t know why, but filmmakers these days tend to use minimalistic sound for their movies. I’m starting to see a trend here, which is good. I hate loud music anyway. Oh, and do look for the not so subtle political jab in this movie, hehe.

I was feeling adventurous last night so I thought I do a little bloghopping. I like to see what people are blogging about these days. I remember the good ol’ days when I read blogs that resembles a diary. I know, I know, it can get a little boring reading about their daily blar blar blar, but I genuinely liked blogs where people talk about what they do day after day. Like how parents spend quality times with their children, friends meeting up for a laugh or two. It’s fun. But from what I can see now, the blog world is like warzone. It’s like watching the American army chasing suicide bombers down the road in Iraq while Osama bin Laden sits in a cave, clapping his hands.

And what they are fighting over? Religions. I don’t understand this one bit, but it’s the reality. I thought religions are supposed to be personal, sacred and now you guys are using them as ammunition. “My religion rocks yo!”, “No no, my religion KICKS your religion’s ass”, “Joo noob! My prophet is like more awesomeness that your prophet”, “Like my God can fly, but yours can only like flap His wings” And then it gets more personal, like calling each other names, very mature. Calling names, for god’s sake. The last time I did that, masturbate was alien concept to me. Jesus, Joseph, David, Muhammad, peace be upon them, if they were alive today, they would be rolling their eyes, thinking, how the hell did the human race turn into such retarded arses.


You guys are hilarious. If you hate each other that much, leave the keyboard at home, go out and slug each other fair and square. Better that way, isn’t it? You guys are the worst kind of pussies, hiding behind the internet and your fancy “oh my god, I’m going to need a dictionary” words. What in the hell’s name is an “ad hominem” anyway? I tried the thesaurus and it came up with nothing. What does that say about me, that I am dumb enough to not understand what an “ad hominem” is? Well, at least I still have my sanity.

Religions are created to guide you, not to turn you against each other. I like to believe, wait, let me rephrase, I BELIEVE that all religions are good. No religions told you to kill each other, no religions actually say that they are the best, no religions force you to do bad things, and no God would actually tell you to strap bombs on your body and explodes innocent people. Respect, respect, respect, that is the ultimate ingredient in religions.


Like the concept of Karma. Sure, it is a principal in the Dharmic religions but don’t you think you can learn a thing or two from understanding karma? You do good thing, good things happen, you do bad things, bad things happen. That I’m a “My Name Is Earl” addict is obvious but that show taught me a lot of things. Thanks Earl. You may not believe in it, but don’t you see that whenever bad things happen, more bad things happen?

What kinda hack is this? Refrigerator? Refrigerator spraying? Home electrical appliances? I don’t think universities actually offer this kind of specialization to their medical students.

Spider-man 3 finally opened in Malaysia last week and I caught it on Saturday. Needless to say, anticipation is very high. This is the first of the many trilogies that is going to hit the cinemas soon. But believe me, if all goes as planned, Spider-Man 3 would be the one raking all the profit, making well over USD1 billion in the process.

Peter Parker aka Spider-Man is back, saving New York, with style. He’s all grown up and with a girlfriend in tow, he’s all set. Being the most popular person in town, nothing can stop Spider-Man from dominating the newspaper headlines, billboards and also the key to the city, fancy! But hey, being a superhero is not easy, some delusional asshole is still not over the fact the Spidey killed his father like years ago. And he is out seeking revenge. He’s not the only villain Spidey must fight this time around. There’s also an obnoxious son of a bitch named Eddie Brock trying to upstage Peter Parker in photography, and a sandy shape shifter, Flint Marko. Eddie Brock is a freelance photographer and Flint Marko is a wanted fugitive. Flint Marko was the one that killed Uncle Ben (Spidey’s uncle) in Spider-Man 1, not that ugly guy with the funky hairdo.


Oh wait, looks like Spidey got a new costume! Yep, he’s back, and he’s black. No, Peter Parker is still a Caucasian guy, but an alien symbiote (I think that’s how they spelt it) thingy manage to merge with Spidey’s old red and blue costume, and turning it into a black suit. Super cool! But unfortunately, that black thingy turned Peter Parker into an asshole as well. Apparently, that thing taps this hidden rage in him, making him look like a member of My Chemical Romance (that odd looking boyband that likes to wear makeup). Knowing that his life, and the life of people around him are in danger if the continues to wear that black suit, he tried to free himself from the symbiote clutch, only to make that thing merge with Eddie Brock, turning him into one of the best supervillain in the comic book world, the mighty Venom! Ops, totally forgot to mention that Spidey got a new girl! Yep, her name is Gwen Stacy. She’s blond, she’s hot and she’s originally Eddie Brock’s (Venom) girlfriend. Uh oh, me think Spidey is in deep shit. Mary Jane is like totally jealous.


Ok, enough with the movie plot. I guess most of you already watched the movie by now and know that Spider-Man 3 is a fun film. Action packed, plenty of web slinging, lots of jumping, falling, breaking, burning, explosives and all that crap. Men envy him; kids want to be him, knowing very well that he is fictional. Spider-Man is awesome. If you are a casual filmgoer, I know you left the cinema with a smile on your face. But me, I like to pick on every little detail whenever I watch movie, downright to the mistakes that they left, both intentionally and unintentionally. First, the amateurish screenplay. This has got to be one of the corniest and cheesiest screenplays ever. The lame one liner and a little too much mushy emotion, it got me wondering, who the hell wrote this stuff? And then his name came up, screenplay by Sam Raimi, the director. Looks like someone is trying to channel Christopher Nolan, Alfonso Cuaron, and Guillermo Del Toro. I’m sorry Sam, I respect you as filmmaker but please leave the screenplays to the pro and stay behind the camera. And then, there’s the 3 villain in one movie. Remember the much too colourful Batman flick, Batman & Robin, directed by one of the most disgusting filmmaker of all time, Joel Schumacher (I hate this son of a bitch!)? I can see that Spider-Man 3 manage to steer clear of that direction, but the villains character development, very very weak. Harry Osborne as Green Goblin Junior was ok. We already seen him in the last two Spider-Man film, but Sandman and Venom were downright pathetic. Venom especially, he is suppose to be huge, with fangs (I think) and long tongue, but in the film, he looks like Spider-Man on anti-depressant. Small, weak and whiny. All I can think of is how much I want to slap his face. And we get to see him for like what, 5 minutes, before Spider-Man blow him into pieces! What the fuck?! Saddam Hussein’s hanging is much more dignified than the death of Venom.


My last complain is the ineptness of the cast. I heard they are going forward with Spider-Man 4, 5 and 6. Please, one request from me, MAJOR RECAST! Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson, from the first movie, was a total murder suicide. Her ghastly teeth and those saggy tits are seriously pissing me off. My choice for Mary Jane Watson would be Laura Prepon (her voice is a little intimidating, but she’s hot!), Emily Blunt (might have to work her American accent though) or Rachel McAdams. Peter Parker, I do not like Tobey McGuire. That vegetarian geek can go to hell. I can see his double chin in Spider-Man 3. I don’t know if it’s the water retention, or because he’s just plain ugly, I would like to see another actor portraying Peter Parker. Jake Gyllenhaal seems like a right choice, Adrien Grenier or maybe Ryan Gosling. We need someone younger, someone with nicer body and also, no double chin. They can always find a newbie, like what Bryan Singer did with Superman Return. I do however, love Bryce Dallas Howard as Gwen Stacy. She is exactly the Gwen Stacy that I had in mind, although I think Scarlett Johansson would have been a better choice (just my preference). Either way, Gwen Stacy is spot on and I hope to see her more. I dont really mind Sam Raimi helming the next 3 sequel. He is a great director but hopefully he stay away from the screeplay. I believe my friend said that Spider-Man 3 somehow resembles a Hindi film thanks to the the screenplay. Sam Raimi, you have been warned!

Check this one out! My favouritest person in the videogame world, Hironobu Sakaguchi just said this about the Playstation 3 in the latest issue of EGM:

"The machine's architecture is tricky, and I don't like Ken Kutaragi.”

Bwahahaha! Yeah, that’s more like it. Fuck Kutaragi. He’s an ass and thank God he’s retiring. And fuck Playstation 3. Well, for now at least. Once the awesomeness China manage to pirate the Blu-ray disc, I’m gonna love the Playstation 3.

Sakaguchi-san, you are my hero. Can I work with you please?

I thought I lost it a few months ago, and since it’s only 32MB, I don’t really bother looking for it. Memory cards are fairly inexpensive these days, and 32MB is nothing. A few pics and you are out of memories. Anyway, I thought I’d pop it into the computer and see if there’s any pictures left in the card. To my horror, I found this rather disturbing piece of evidence:


Mary mother of Jesus (peace be upon them), I do not remember looking like a fucking monster! I mean look at the picture, my double chin looks like a double quarter pounder and I don’t have a neck! I could only imagine the level of body fat I got at that time. My guess would be 50%. The photo was dated August 2005, that’s almost 2 years ago. And thank God during that two years some people manage knock some sense into me and made me go into re-invention of myself. And partly because I was in love with this girl and wanted to look good. She broke my heart (vomit vomit vomit!!) but I manage to stay strong and continue with the re-invention of Ari Miraj.

I feel good now. Looking at that picture, now I know what the people around me had to go through while looking as such abomination. It is a nightmare. I would love to show you latest picture of myself, but I’m still fairly fat and my acne scars are still healing but here’s a little sneak peek:

p/s: try listening to the track called "F*cking Boyfriend". Fucking brilliant!
