getting delayed by the traffic and blaming it on the weather
hmm.. havent posted here in awhile. Perhaps the only significant event that happened (beside the fuking thief of my near mint digital camera) would be the release of new order's well brand-sparklinh new ablum! Waiting for the Sirens' Call.!.!.!.! No
i mean its pretty amazing how they dealt with the aftermath of having to survive an untimely and early death of a very crucial and charismatic frontman. And then having to drag their record company back into the black again, then breaking up, and hating each others guts to come 1 full circle to realise that nothing will ever sound like whatever that the 3 (core) of them will come up with. Its like when the 4 of them are in a room, and someone hits a beat or plays a riff, the molecues start vibrating at a different temperature (shameless rip-off) and things just happen. Now how cool is that?
Of course that are the cynics who cant seem to stop making pointed references to the lyrics of most new order songs and how they've milked dance pop dry and turned it into something out an outrage in the eighties where well retro ruled the airwaves leading the absolute and acute embarressment today. But for each and every one of them, there's at least 10 people who agree that Joy Division and New Order and not to be taken into the same context, essential the same band but extremely seperated. They are a great band, and as some have mentioned repeatedly have nothing to prove to anyone or anything.
alright enough of the retro stuff eh, well i did manage to sit through the whole, yesh the entire 'Colour Blossom'. And if you're looking for a flesh parade this movie wouldnt be that appetizing. Erm... yeah.... OK! If ya really wanna know its like soft porn, happy? *chokes* Unfortunately, its pretty well shot. The colours are bold yet menacing and unrelenting when they're supposed to. Like this damn sence shot in the pouring rain with a concrete passageway as a backdrop, quite nicely done. The story's abit about being psychotic and possessive at the same time, so thats where the SM comes about. In short? If you wanna feast on erm kenny bee's ex-wife assets, u've better of waiting for some dude to post them on the net. However, if you wanna see nice visuals and well stuff, just go watch lo.
I caught Spanglish yesterday leh, and its not too bad lah. Funny but poigant, though i missed a good wat 20 mins? basket. Its about.... good people i guess and how they're bounded not only by wat they have but also wat they dun have. Hmmm...yeah + )
Watched Chain today, and voila! missed the first 20 mins which included (i can only speculate) the only godspeed you! black emperor track. And this streams from not hearing anything that sounded like them in the entire movie and reading the credits in the end that spelled "opening theme provided by....." basket. Stupid winning eleven's fault. I was pretty much hyped up for the show, so much so that i actually knocked off 15 mins after i came in. Couldnt help it, i missed maybe? 10 mins? Its not really a movie, more like a docu-insight kind of a film. The entire film ran on this collage of screen shots and narative provided by this 2 very lonely and out of-sync women. 1's a jap working abroad, the other's a canadian leaving her family. Well adapting's the word here i guess and the fact that where-ever you go, it doesnt matter at all. Coz almost every screen shot looked like they were from the same place, until the end credits informed me that the footages were taken from 10 distinct countries. Its the state of your mind that does the trick, and how it would try its best to drift you into better conditions if you let it.
Honestly, i couldnt wait for it to finish. Until i couldnt stop thinking about it even after dismissing it as crap. There's a very ambient sort of feeling to it thats hard to shake off.
yeap thts probably the first of hopefully many to come more to come. There's Danny Boyle, Wim Wenders, Shuqi, and possibly some korean flicks. No seriously, if ya'll have abit of time, do check out the Singapore Film Fest 14 - 30th April, tixs at sistic. (which sells tixs to PCK the musical as well) (which has no bearing or relation to watever i'm talking about) ( except this twin couple who spent a good 10 mins choosing seats then NOT buying any of them)
