What is wrong with 20th Century Fox?

Are they cashing on Dragonball because the name has sold more than $4 billion worth of merchandise and distribution rights?

The director James Wong has a few decent titles (like Willard) to his credit but from the looks of it he must be desperate (3 years? since he last directed a film) to get a movie under his belt. I think he totally screwed himself in the behind with this choice.

Then comes Stephen Chow, the comedian whose movies I used to love watching as a kid, is the producer for this E-grade movie. Probably he thinks he can make this into a comedy? He's getting old and senile.

Ben Ramsey, the writer for the screenplay. If he ever set foot anywhere in Asia. Maybe even America (since they have hairy pot-bellied men who dress up as Sailormoon), their fans would come after him with torches and rakes for ruining their childhood memories.

Just  who do they think is going to pay to watch it? The majority of Dragonball fans are probably aged 18 to 50. It's like asking my dad to watch Teletubbies.

Just the thought of an American adult scream "Kame Hame Ha" makes my hair stand. I can totally imagine them screaming it (shivers) oh, just like Xena: The Warrior Princess. Cross this movie with let's say, Power Rangers.

Just watch the trailer so click link here.

The rest of the cast includes Chow Yun-Fat, some japanese some koreans, and many many other caucasians. Why on earth do they (the actors/actresses) want to humiliate themselves with these kinda roles. There's a reason why Japan didn't try to make the 1986-made Dragonball into a live action movie despite its success.

Is this the American (Cosplay) Dream?
No. This is a nightmare.






Right: Goku screams, "Poop in pants!".
            The past few days, no, weeks has been uneventful, save for the few outings I have had with my friends, birthdays, etcetera. The reason why the lyrics and writings of others are posted here.

            Today, it will be about cats, our little feline friends (to some). I am indifferent, I don't mind having pets, as long as I can pet and play with them occasionally. I cannot remember how many years since these cats joined our family. The first year was alright, since the first cat we had wasn't that wild, at least it had little or no hunting instincts left. Our more recent ones, (sigh) unfortunately tends to bring home their prize from the "wild". Nowadays, I would be sitting in front of the computer minding my own business, when suddenly screams, shrieks, ripping sounds from the kitchen would be heard. Almost instantly I would groan from the thought of cleaning up after them.

            Cleaning up after dogs, many complain walking the dog on a leash with one hand and a poop-scoop on the other.You know, cats, these dastardly evil creatures, are probably worse.

            Which reminded me, sidetracking a little, (ahem) cats cannot be trained. Our black cat pees on anything black we have, victims include tees, handbags, backpacks, pants, you name it.

            Anyway, the point is, cleaning up after cats look like this. On the right, is a medium-sized rat, the body being 3.5" long.

            You see, dogs probably do get their fair share of hunts. However, dogs maul their victims. The result of the mauling may have the innards of its victim squeezed out of its body bag like the picture above.

            Now, I would like to ask all of you to stop scrolling down if you think the above picture is gross, made the lunch you've had earlier dance in your stomach, or ruined your plans to have sushi for dinner. Then again, it's already too late to tell you that, I know (or) most people (I know) would scroll down all the way without reading it in an orderly manner first.

            If you remember the sounds I hear when I'm minding my business in front of the computer, I mentioned screaming, shrieking, and finally ripping. The prize of the domesticated yet wild feline is shown below.

            I was supposed to clean this up. There were several organs (God know what they are) scattered around under the table. My guess that the big slimy oval shaped thing still stuck on its body is the stomach and the brownish goo a few centimeters away is the feces, faeces, or fæces (whatever spelling you are familiar with) are waste products.

            This find made me wonder why did the cat bring its toy in. I don't think anything was eaten (like I'd bother to count the innards). Lizards were fully eaten (except for the head), smaller rats 2" in length, were also eaten, but not everything, because I've seen them eating one live.

            I wonder if humans were made smaller would our "pets" still rub themselves affectionately on us and purr. Or would they just rip us apart to feast on our innards.




I'm getting a dog.

I'll be your comrade true;
Here to your service I will bind me;
Beck when you will, I will not pause or rest;
But in return when yonder you will find me,
Then likewise shall you be at my behest.

The yonder is to me a trifling matter.
'tis from this earth my pleasure springs,
And this sun shines upon my suffering;
If to the moment I shall ever say:
'Ah, linger on thou art so fair!'
Then may you fetters on me lay,
Then I will perish, then and there!

It's been a little more than 2 weeks since I came to where the Queen is. I've pretty much gotten used to it here. My nose doesn't bleed anymore but it's still chilly.



Here's a picture of my surrogate family here in the United Kingdom. They're the reason why I settled down so quickly here.



Here's a couple of pictures I chose out of the thousands (and thousands) of photos we've taken the past two weeks. Our first weekend trip to York.



Lastly, I just love how they put up random obscene erotic-ish whatever you artsy people wanna call it paintings. Originals hung all over without proper security.



I got the crazy eye from old English (rolls eyes) women when I did my other *cough* more peculiar poses with the paintings. Haha like I care.

I went through a lot of trouble to be a person of good conduct.
Now I am officially a GOOD PERSON.
And I have proof.

A Star Wars fan who founded the Britain's first Jedi Church has been attacked by a drunk Darth Vader weilding a metal crutch.

Jedi Master Hehol, (Barney Jones) a hairdresser from Wales, was being interviewed for a TV documentary when the assault took place.

Wearing a bin-bag and trademark helmet, Vader jumped over a garden fence before hitting him. Police are investigating a claim of assault.

Ironman 2008 is held in Langkawi again this year with an estimated 1000 participants of all ages, shapes and sizes, from all over the world. Jeff and Daniel just completed the 3.8km swim and 180.2km bike and as I'm typing this out, they are now running in the 42.2km marathon through town.


The happy bike route in Langkawi.

The fun run route.



So here's their progress.


von Schrader and Yee Sze Mun are the oldest participants in this event. There are more old folks in the 65-69 years old category. Proud of yourselves? Young people. Tch.
DO YOU SEE THE RESEMBLANCE?
by Anon


A long time ago, during the days when I was somewhat a couch poh-tae-toh. I saw this very man, or at least that's what I think he is. Man. From then on, he stuck in my head like a sleeping parasite. Each time I remember this er, person, I get ticked off. Before I start, let's do a round of introduction on this man.

*cough* Without further ado, may I present to you a short article on the artist's profile taken from Singapore's Mediacorp website.










"Zhang Yao Dong's chiselled features and handsome mug stood him apart from many artistes. Couple that with his height and he is hard to miss among the crowd.

Yao Dong was a model before joining Malaysia Star Search in 2001. This part-time model has done various commercials before realizing his calling in the entertainment circle. His outstanding performance during the contest placed him overall second.

He has also attended singing lessons before and can sing relatively well when the occasion calls for it. Yao Dong will be making his small screen debut in the ever popular sitcom, Don't Worry, Be Happy VI."


Note that I highlighted "handsome mug" in bold. FYI, I'm actually being sarcastic. Yea?






Next in line, we have a more popular artist lined up for YOUR entertainment! Bla bla bla~

Lo and behold! The world renowned Micheal Jackson! I would post more pictures of them, but unfortunately I don't have the time or passion to waste on these weirdos.

Now, back to the topic, "Do YOU see the resemblance?".

Fans of this Zhang dude, feel free to flame me or whatever.

YOU know it's true.
