Listening to Yummy Gummy In My Tummy

Stolen off Booya King's LJ:

Sepet was pretty darned good. The story is simple cum generic, but the content was downright hilarious. The best part of the movie would be totally lost to non-Malaysians, but Malaysians would have a good time laughing at the depictions of our own state. It's charming to see the little things in our lives used as elements in a movie, and used very well.

I'd forgive the bad acting on the actors' part since they're not experienced actors. The funny thing is, knowing that they're not experienced, the moments when their act works really hit home. It simply won't be the same if famous faces played Jason and Orked; their unfamiliarity made them everybody, thus easier to relate. There are famous faces in the show (Harith Iskandar and Ida Nerida), but they played roles so irreverent that you forget their identities outside the movie.

See it because as Malaysians, you'll be the only ones who can enjoy this movie the most. If you wish to pass kudos, the director's blog is here. Check out her past entries to see the troubles she had with the Censorship board.

Also:

On The Daily Show International Edition:
Egyptian comics provide equal opportunity superheroes!
The Rock is the 'The Dude' with the BFG in the upcoming Doom movie! It's coming out in August. BFG stands for Bio Force Gun. Ha ha.

Anyway, back to some original content...
Weekend was tiring. Paintball is evilly good. It's one of those things that you want to torture yourself with because it makes you tingly in the inside. Or maybe that was the food I had earlier that day... Or was it lack of food...

Hm... I plan to keep my hair long for a fair bit. Let's see how far I can go :D

Dance the night away,
But don't go too far astray,
The night devils with eyes so fine,
will send shivers up your spine.
Clutch your throat, out of breath,
You will die an agonizing death.

Lunch was mixed rice and iced Nescafe. Dessert was Banana Fritters
