Incoming kaypoh... The Departed is the Infernal Affairs equivalent with angmoh actors. Prestige is all about Hugh Jackman! What's the plot again? Ahahah...
 
thankyuuuu youuuu hor... expose the old man!

i better catch up with my movies... no more since having baby... my last was tat kevin costner one abt naval divers...
 
powder, the Kevin Costner one is still showing in the cinemas leh... I better.. my last movie was a disjointed spoof about hostile aliens, the boy from the Grudge and a psycho in an ugly mask pretending to be Jigsaw and I watched on hb's pc monitor!! Haven't been to the movies since...can't remember when and I don't even have a baby yet... :P
 
diff lah... i'm a movie buff... used to pride myself on having watched the latest movies... but then bachelor boys only watch movies lah... not into pc games and all the other stuff...
 
I support u mah. Let u know that it's the wrong movie very subtly... via forum!! Ahahah...

The one showing now is about coast guards. He's talking about naval divers. Was there such a show by Kevin Costner? Was I born yet?

Goooogal, was it Scary Movie 4? My last movie was The Black Dahlia. Not impressive. Dun bother...
 
Haha... Laundry Woes.. da dui le! But no prize... It's a really wacko movie and I don't mean it's funny... just pretty dumb and not as funny as the earlier sequels. Good thing it only cost us $2.50 to watch...
 
Hi Googal
I kinda enjoyed Scary Movie 4, esp the part where the Ju-on and the girl converse in Japanese (machiam only). Maybe I am into slapsticks!
 
Dumb movie beats absolutely no plot. Try Miami Vice. Wah... lau... eh... 1st time I wanted to walk out of a movie. Ended up cursing and swearing through the entire 2 hrs. Came out and all of us were still totally blur about the plot.

I just realised how many movies I've been watching recently. Wah. Spent more time in the dark than anything.

Hmm... Kinky sia... Ahahah...
 
that's just a vehicle for farrell and gong li to make their comebacks lah. Haha.

actually be movie star so fun. You are down and out in your career. The last movie you made portrayed you as a gay leader of the world, other young stars are overtaking you, then suddenly one movie-maker comes to you with a script saying, 'hey let's remake Miami Vice, be the new Don Johnson and to top it off, you get to make out in really steamy scenes with some Chinese actress, and Asia will get a good look at you too!'

'oh sorry, Zee (Ziyi) Chang's already engaged with some stupid Mandarin getup called The Banquet, what a stupid title, but there is this other hasbeen living her life now as a taitai to some tobacco executive husband and stepmom to a daughter in her 20s, ahhhh yes, Gong Li!


*disclaimer - the author of this post does not agree with the fictitious movie-maker's remarks about Gong Li being a has-been
 
Luckily I had free tixs to Miami Vice. Else will be banging at the counter, demanding a refund. The scary thing about the movie is that Gong Li's Spanish was better than her English...

Heard that The Banquet is supposed to be the chinese remake of Hamlet. Wah. Faint. No wonder the theatre setup in the movie looks suspiciously like a Shakespearean stage. Movie world getting creepy.
 
Hi La-Kopi, I'm into slapstick too (I dunno why it only happened after I met my hb! :P) but there are slapstick, and there are "slapstick". The latter is as offensive as the idea of Nicolas Cage being Superman. Thank god he didn't!!! Good slapstick is like Kunfu Hustler, Fun with Dick and Jane.. there's as much story/plot as there is action.

Laundry woes, I didn't watch Miami Vice. Just pray they aren't going to remake every 70s/80s tv series into a movie like Starsky & Hutch (Snoop Dog was pretty funny though) ... what next? Knight Rider? Magnum PI?? Mac Gyver?? :P
 
then u guys shuld be zucker fans...

well the initial slapsticks for me were 'Airplane' (1980) and 'Top Secret' (Val Kilmer's 1st feature film in 1984). i guess later, Naked Gun had a good run as well...
 
Fun with Dick and Jane dam funny!!! The robot voice part, hahahahahahaha....

Want to remember slapstick...the best slapstick, the best comic timing, some days is still Hongkong movie lah...

Ahahaha... i like the robot voice part too >.< Jim Carey is a natural... Ah yes, the Hui Brothers. I think they are a talented bunch too, but I think Stephen Chow takes the cake as "Ling Ling Chat (007)", the butcher cum secret agent in From Beijing With Love.. :D Keke..
 
Well, they are going through every single comic book heros now. Spiderman, Superman, Daredevil, Elektra etc. Err... let's hope they dun do Wonderwoman. Her costume's so not happening.

Slapsticks.
There's Something about Mary
American Pie
Austin Powers
I go for mass appeal.
 
hmm, how about Captain Caveman!!? keke, we the Dawrf from LOTR for the lead role. Aquaman or Flash Gordon?
 
Oh baby yeah! I love the whole Austin Powers series!!! Other slapsticks:

- Dude,Where's My Car? ("And then?!")
- Dumb and Dumber
- Anything from Saturday Night Live

Hb and I have been busy watching the old shows from SNL on Youtube.com... Ah, the good ole days of comedy...

For comic book adaptation, I thought Hellboy and Sin City were even better than X-men or Spiderman. I especially liked Sin City for it's innovative cinematog. Very old school film noire.

GST increase to 7% to help poor &amp; old!

Yes, to help the poor &amp; old contribute to the PAP govt, the GST will be increased to 7%. As the old don't pay income tax, they have no chance to show their appreciation to the PAP govt, this GST increase will help them to contribute something. As an inclusive society, they now don't have to feel left behind because they contribute less tax, they will catch up soon.
.
See how the PAP helps the poor &amp; old in our society. Other countries use progressive taxation to make the rich pay more tax and use it to help the poor. In Singapore where the poor find it hard to make ends meet, they need to spend all their income without saving. Hence when the GST is increased, the tax burden for the poor increases....life for them becomes more challenging....see how the PAP improve the lives of the poor by giving them more challenges.
.
Remember a few days ago, the PAP MPs were complaining about the sub-standard behavior of Singaporeans - always whining and whingeing. ...so hard to govern. Why don't you be like citizens of other countries? Say, like the people of our perpetual competitor Hong Kong. Yes see what the Hong Kong people did when their govt tried to impose GST:

In Singapore, people will just whine and whine ...and do nothing. Now you can see clearly what our MPs are complaining about.

You can trust that the PAP govt will use the 2% to help the poor not to fund their favorite 'jump on the bandwagon' investments such as Biotech, Digital Media &amp; Water Treatment. The purpose of the 2% increase in GST is to help the poor and NOT to cut the income tax of the rich and reduce corporate tax. It is REALLY to HELP the poor ...and NOT what Steve Chia predicted in 2002:

"Looking at the trend, I am quite certain that there are going to be more cuts in the personal income and corporate tax rates in the future.
To make up for this revenue loss, it is certain that the Government is going to raise GST even higher.
So before this GST is increased to 5%, 7%, 9% or even higher in future,
I hope the Government can plan ahead and institute a system to exempt certain essential staple items from GST.
Do not wait until there is great social discontent to do it. "
- Steve Chia 2002 Parliament Debate on Budget

See Steve Chia was always misreading the intent of our caring govt. The purpose of GST increases is to help the poor and not the rich. The PAP govt is always trying to close the income gap and not to exacerbate it. Singaporeans are so lucky to have such a good government!

hahahaha........the comments by the pple....really funny sia. One of the comments:

[Mr black says...

[wdwd says...
THANKS TO VOTERS FROM EAST COAST/ALJUNIED GRC! YOU DESERVE THE 7% HIKE!!! ]

xiao Lee said raise....no one can stop him
After GE, everything goes up. But our pay still remains the same.... \clipartuhoh}
 
Fight the hike - work in SG, spend in JB...

Wait for the masterplan in JB to take shape and buy a house in the Free Access Zone.
 


sometimes i feel we're like a Scrooge overly focused on savings... making sure every month got 2k go into savings, when the accumulated savings over the years has already reached 1mil. life revolves around saving saving saving until u spend your life just saving... so tat one day we can enjoy the fruits of our labour... if at 50yrs old, we can't start enjoying these fruits, then something is very wrong.

our Reserves are strong, we have 'Top Scholars', yet our only way of solution is to take from the population. i always thought by employing the top pple, we shuld be seeing decreases in cost of living and not increases. i grew up believing the pple shuld enjoy subsidies and some form of fair welfare... but we see Company interests ahead of ours, very much Profit-driven. that's fine, but if u wanna be profit-driven, then introduce competition... at least to allow market forces to regulate the prices. to Already monopolise and increase prices is manipulative, we get neither Alternatives nor Choice (i need to use electricity!).

anyway, wat's being said will always happen, it always has... we just have to find ways to beat the system - make more money.
