CIRCUS 狗仔隊

omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg!!



finally!! do you know how long i've been waiting for more circus action? omg!! i dont know how to explain how much i like them. it's like i watch every single season of their shows, and not just once but quite a number of times.

esp their trip to india. i made a copy of that episode on my handphone and watch everytime i get too bored on the train. cos they are just so funny la.

and if u are thinking they are just a normal boyband (okay, obviously u have not watched the youtube above), they are not la. for the past 3 seasons of circus action, they went round tw doing really crazy stuff, all with the idea of 熱血. yeah. what u shd do when u are young.

and what i really love their show is that they are not tied down to anything. so they just do whatever they like. they shoot, they edit, they write their own VO. everything from pre-production to post-production (all the way down to typing the subtitles) are done by the 4 of them. im not too sure about now, but they were still students when they started. and so they only filmed during the summer break and normally their show starts after the summer break for around 3mths each year.

they have been talking about season 4 for so long. so this paparazzi thing came to me as a surprise. but still if you are yearning for some 熱血, watch CIRCUS 狗仔隊.

Yougisha X no Kenshin.



haha. the galileo movie. yes. i went to watch it. i think for all the trash that i've been watching from fujitv-made-movies, finally one movie that made up for all the time wasted previously (looks at hero the movie). the first drama then movie film that made me want to clap when the credits came out. it is that good to me.

there were so many things going through in my head when i was watching.

this is one film that every single scene, every single dialogue is propelling the story forward. the cause and effect thing. every single cause is waiting for its effect to come. there isnt a scene or a dialogue which is there to fill time, or to show how superior their filming skill is. they are there to tell the story.130min of them. and i am absorbed the whole 130min.

and it is not a whodunit. which was the format for its drama. for the movie, you know who's the killer from the start. what we are looking at is how 2 geniuses pit against each other; one to hide the truth and the other to find it out. i think confession of pain tried to do this too; but it was not brought out so well. (sorry alan mak and andrew lau) the thing is, even though you know who is the killer, every moment you are at the edge of your seat, rooting for both the police to find out the truth, but yet u want to protect the killer.

i think what the director or writer did well was that they could gauge what to give and what to keep well. there are some detective genre kind of movies where you just can guess the killer from the start. and there are those that are so ridiculous and they refuse to tell u any clue on the way (think kindaichi or voice). but galileo kept me thinking for the 130min and the ending very satisfying. it's not like hero the movie, which for quite some parts, i kept picking out logical problems in the storyline. galileo makes u feel everything is so real.

and the talents. masha as always, suave, smart, minus the cringing physics equation scribbling and fleming left hand rule. kou shibasaki still kou shibasaki. though her character is quite insignificant. Shin'ichi Tsutsumi steals the show totally. he is like the L of this movie. i love him in sanchome, here too.

there was this certain line in the film which kind of reminds me of a certain similar line in IA. it goes something like 'is it more difficult to invent an unsolvable puzzle or to solve one?' which was masha trying to highlight the situation then. when i watch i didnt really understand what he was saying, but now to look at it, hey that line is kind of cool.

but disclaimer. i can get quite illogical when it comes to what movies that i like. i mean my 'i just love these movies' list includes tokyo raiders, and i hate you so and the twins effect; my taste isnt all that universal.

it was box office top for 4 weeks when it was out in japan. if u have watched the drama and want to see masha on the big screen, then try watching. if u want a movie with a really really strong plot, try departures.

from masha's 2009 countdown concert,
最愛 - 福山雅治


like last year when he sang kiss shite for the countdown, this time sai ai. his hair is... hahahahahahaa. is he preparing for his sakamoto ryoma role or is he doing this because he likes it?

重返迷宫

And no i did not go for yoga lin's concert. and im sort of regretting it. damn it. it's like not going for eason's concert and to realise it the next day that i should have just went.

我 - 林宥嘉


he has this strong interest in B-side songs. like leslie cheung's 我 and eason's 世界.

not that im complaining la. which reminds me of my favourite jacky cheung's concert.

天下无双-张学友


simply because he isnt singing his own songs. yay. haha.

time to spend some money.

Salty Pork Hand.

I bet it is Ellesmere Choi. trust me. haha. i mean lailokyi or moses chan? siao ah.


第一次的過失 才發現 心中有把真理的尺

i got hooked onto both the show and the song. hai. haha. and i feel like i just betrayed myself. like how i felt when i liked madam ma from fh2, now a channel8 which i cannot stop watching. how.

and ruien fascinates me by how skinny she can get. she was criticised in the AIDS show that she was too skinny right. wa. then she's even worse here, she's anorexic. i forgot which episode but when lishanshan (hahahahahaha. i bet my sis loves her name) sort of attacked her, i was thinking 'omg. i think ruien will die. she doesnt even have any fats/meat to support herself when she falls.' hai. but it's ruien. like thomas ong. i just watch all her shows.

and xiaoxin and his 'HQSF'. hai. why is his pronunciation so bad. he's struggling even with 4 single alphabets.


and i am still struggling with school work. one more week to reading. crazy lab sessions. marketing project. cca. sian. applying for cuhk's summer programme. but getting accepted will mean that i will miss sports camp this year.

KAT-TUN ONE DROP
the above quote from our favourite website always.

'mary dreams about cleaning her house. her maria does it.' hi my name is maria. haha.



oh man. this show confirmed my choice to not join a wafer fabrication plant. haha. i mean the whole factory has no colour? the machines are white, their uniforms are white. noooooo. just when they are trying hard to inspire the audience to join engineering, or to get their sons/daughters to join engineering, it's making me regret. haha. okay maybe not. but the chances of me joining a wafer fabrication plant is very low.

but there's still scenes that are worth watching. they filmed in nanyang!! woah!! cos there was this sequence abt ruanmianmian's past. then there was the jc her and her boyfriend in this strangely familiar walkway and pond. i was so shocked la. nanyang? why? because it's near to caldecott hill? but yay!! haha. at first i still couldnt believe it was ny till the credits came out and our familiar school crest appeared. and apparently they filmed in engin too. woah. and oschool.

but the SIA parts are good. har. and our dear elvinng trying to act as sato. hai. maybe the mediacorp is trying out with the daiyangtian formula again. and his fake accent. hahahahaha. okay. i prefer the DYT's one.

and i cant stand how this drama is so hard selling engineering. it's like 'engineers are cool, dance well and are good-looking!!' and the 5min thing with actors speaking about engineering. eg the taypinghui and his 'scientists ask 'why?' while engineers ask 'why not?' and ending cheekily with 'if u like to ask 'why not?', maybe u have the engineering dna in you.'' DNA? hahahahahahahaha.

oh. and i saw sde friend in the show too. haha. sia side. hi sde friend.

hell.

i want to sleep i want to sleep i want to sleep.

but i cant but i cant but i cant.

i hate marketing.

Young and dangerous.



i will definitely watch this series when im free. together with all's well ends well. haha. and it's really strange to see matt-sir here. with his long hair. haha. ekin cheng ah. and anthony wong with long hair.
