Skinny model catwalks into the hole

October 20th, 2007

I’ve seen embarrassing stuffs that models usually encounter during fashion shows, a broken heel, skirt that fell off and slipped on the floor. But a model walking straight into a big gaping hole? Wow, that’s really something.

There’s a hole in my ramp

In case you wonder why there’s a hole in the first place. Some shmuck decided it’s bad ass to have wushu opening act. You’ve gotta love the audience’s reaction as the model fell into the hole. The poor thing’s probably too embarrassed, pissed and very furious to not finished her walk. You can imagine she either went into the corner to cry till her mascara runs or went to the ladies toilet and snort some coke.

JK ROWLING SUES Hogwarts Castle replica in India

October 12th, 2007

Rowling and her publishers Bloomsbury are seeking two million rupees (50,000 dollars) from the organisers constructing an elaborate castle from canvas and papier mache in Kolkata for the upcoming Durga Puja festival, court officials said.”

Isn’t JK already earning billions of pounds for her franchise alone. They don’t give a shit about people making fan art, selling doujinshi and even *gasp* some pirated version of Harry Pothead. Now she’s suing the organizers for “honoring” her overhyped creation. So the organizers didn’t asked permission, so what’s the big deal. They don’t actually profit from it. Do we all have to ask permission each time we make Harry Potter inspired thing? Don’t they know it’s the fandom that keeps JK and her cohorts on a payroll. I’m appalled and disgusted at this.

Now I’d like to see how they all stay afloat without the fandom. Now, rewind to the years where she’s struggling to get the book published. I bet she’ll pay good money for people to worship her creation. *Insert cuss words here*

1408 : Hollywood Thriller Review

October 2nd, 2007

1408cover.jpgMike Enslin works as a paranormal writer that features Haunted Places. Ironically, he never believed in any paranormal activities. For him, it’s just a job that provides people with cheap thrills. He was doing his usual routines such as picking up mails from the post office and sorts out mails. After keeping the fan mails and throwing away the spam mails, he came across a strange postcard. It had a photo of “The Dolphin” hotel, written on it was the number 1408. He took a pencil and made a mathematical equation on the number,

1+4+0+8 =13

He searched for the information about the hotel, he was intrigued about the haunted room. Then he called up his publisher and asked for help with his booking to “The Dolphin” hotel. The publisher complied and managed to get the booking for the room 1408. He finally arrived at the hotel and meet up with the hotel manager Gerald Olin. The manager tried to convince Enslin to avoid room 1408 at all cost. Thinking that he could persuade Enslin, he showed the private files and photos of people who met their doom at room 1408. But still, Enslin insisted that he would check in the room 1408. Olin reluctantly gave him the key to room and showed him the way to the room.

The moment he entered the room, he starts recording and documenting his stay. During his first few minutes of stay, everything seems in place. Then, something strange happened. Few of the items were misplaced. He first thought that the hotel staff were playing a prank on him. Then began to see things. He finally realized that something’s wrong with the room. When he tried to open the door, it was shut firmly. He was trapped in this nightmarish ordeal. How long can he survive the room? Will he finally find the way out this nightmare?

Sadako Ramblings:
I’ve seen this film featured in an HBO filler. I just assumed that it’s a typical run-of-the-mill hollywood flick. Someone I know, insisted that we should watch the film. Too bad I had a flight to catch, I end up watching it with my friend. However, my friend wasn’t interested since she had an encounter with ghosts. Watching a film about it gives her the chills. That leaves me no choice but to drag her in the cinema by the hair despite her kicking and screaming (I’m being theatrical here).

This movie was based on Stephen King’s short story with the same title. For me, this is one the best film adaptation of Stephen King’s works. Don’t get me started with “Sometimes they come back part 2” film *shudders*. If there’s one thing that best describes this film, it’s helluva roller coaster ride. The director was generous to make the movie almost 70% whooping thrills and chills. There was this part where I screamed and thankfully only few people are present in the cinema. I just couldn’t get over with Samuel Jackson’s trademark F-bomb dialogue, “It’s an evil F*cking room” and “Dammit to hell”. Of course there’s a lighter part of the story. This quotes really cracks me up.

Gerald Olin: There was one instance in which a guest drowned in his chicken soup.
Mike Enslin: That’s… hard to do, how did he manage that?
Gerald Olin: That’s a very good question. I’ll ask him.
(I LOLED..ehehe)
———
Mike Enslin: Eight dollars for Beer Nuts? This room *is* evil!
(ROFL on this one)

Anyway, I find it hard to sleep that night since I have all sorts of macabre thoughts swirling in my mind. What if there’s a ghost lurking outside the window? What if these imaginary thoughts were the side effects of too much popcorn?

Rating:
Fear Factor: 9 out of 10 – I actually screamed at certain part of the movie. Then had hard time sleeping at sleeping at night.
Violence and Gore: 7 out 10 – Earth shattering!
Nudity and Sex: 0 – Obviously what can you expect from a guy in solitary confinement.
Replay value : Great to watch over and over again.
