a dent on my pride

I am already grown up, I just get older

scene from Leon (1994). charcoal pencil on paper.


i hate it when people immediately assume that i know a certain someone they know just because we went to the same school. who am i? the oracle?

Worn

i have this shirt that ve seen better days... its from an uncle who visited Japan. i love it. i used to wear it every week and to everywhere. well except now, i only wear it at home. its ratty and a little tattered at the collar and decorated with holes, but it is super soft and comfortable. i have been wearing it for six years now. the threads are starting to fall apart and hanging for dear life. old washed up shirt rocks. i will continue to wear it until it turns to powder.

of horror films and no popcorn part II

a single mum/dad (recently divorced) moved away with his/her family to relocate in another isolated town filled with creepy old folks. dont forget the gas station. they always stop at a gas station to introduce themselves. then the attendant will spook them out with creepy tales regarding the town or about missing people. the gas station is a must in any horror flick. the family members normally consist of a sullen rebelious smart mouth teenage son/daughter and a younger kid or a pet. then they moved into a house (preferebly with dark past or an urban legend surrounding it). they find the house and neighbour blindingly suspicious but always choose to ignore the obvious signs. then the lil kid suddenly has "imaginary friend" and u can basically continue the rest. the plot sounds mighty familiar eh. a lot of mainstream horror movies used this type of storyline. below are indie horror movies that deserve limelight because they are so awesome!!!

Mulberry Street (2006) directed by Jim Mickle


the story began with an ex boxer living in a rundown apartment in Manhattan. we see his daily routine and the people living in the apartment with him. the sexy single mum who works at a pub to an old man living there for 35 years with an oxygen tank. the plot thickens when there is rats-gone-wild case where they start attacking human on subway. those bitten will get dizzy, sweaty and eventually turned into a mouse-like creature that feed on raw meat. unfortunately, they are not cute like mickey mouse.more people get bitten and turned into maniac mickey and the place turned chaotic. we latter found out that the hero's daughter returned from the army and planned to visit him. the government issue quarantine on the island and they are trapped with psychotic hungry mickeys. now, there are tons of movies with similar plot. but there is something im not gonna tell u here that is truly refreshing in this film that we don't see often. for one, the hero is unconventional. i think its still on youtube...

Fido (2006) directed by Andrew Currie


MUST WATCH. this one is a gem! if yer like Shaun of the Dead then u'll like Fido too. the story took place era 1950s vintage style. love it. this is more comedy than horror. the story began with a documentary retelling on how a radiation from outer space turned the dead on earth into zombies (in black and white!!! awesomeness) and how this Zomcon corporation controlled the zombies with a special collar. then turned them into domestic helpers for human. then having a zombie is equivalent with having pet. then theres Timmy. the only boy in the neighborhood without zombie because his dad has zombie phobia. his mum eventually get a zombie and they named him Fido. Timmy, a shy and only child befriends Fido. u really can just switch the zombie into a golden retriever here. at first this arrangement went well until, Fido eats Timmy's neighbor and got taken away by Zomcon. from there it spiraled into a wacky adventure. Timmy goes to save his zombie. this film is really different and we grew sympathetic with the zombies. unlike others living dead, the zombie here has the capability to feel. like Fido is protective of Timmy and defends him against the school bullies.


Splinter(2008)Directed by Toby Wilkins


escaped convicts, a young couple on camping trip, gas station and a deadly parasite.
thats all through out the entire film. and also the unlucky gas station attendant and police officer that appeared briefly only to get attack by the needle like parasite. this is more to disgusting than scary. pretty straight forward storyline. a couple on a camping trip got car jacked by escaped convicts. then they went to gas station (see, gas station is an essential ingredient) where the other convict got attacked by an infected victim (pricks coming out from the host body). the entire movie is about them protecting themselves inside the gas station. the special effect is really nice. the creature is terrifying. you can see hands and body parts crawling around. dont eat while watching this. yer'll loose ye appetite.

short film of the month is back! between my internet being a giant turd and schools assignment being a pain, i couldn't update often. anyway, enjoy the movie below.

"The Ten Steps" 2004, by Brendan Muldowney


i like to watch horror movie sans the special effects and bodily fluid flowing with gross and glory. it is scarier this way with only the sound effect, lightning and the acting. bone chilling without showing the bogeyman.

amuse...

why do some people think by pressing the elevator's button multiple times can make the elevator go down faster?

sitting on the back row inside a bouncing bus and drinking a can of coke without using straw is just plain moronic.

Sita Sings the Blues (Nina Paley)

gorgeous animation. funny retelling of the Ramayana story!

Waking Life (2001)

Mel, u ve to watch this! awesome animation and great storyline.


Synopsis:
A boy has a dream that he can float, but unless he holds on, he will drift away into the sky. Even when he is grown up, this idea recurs. After a strange accident, he walks through what may be a dream, flowing in and out of scenarios and encountering various characters. People he meets discuss science, philosophy and the life of dreaming and waking, and the protagonist gradually becomes alarmed that he cannot awake from this confusing dream (Via google.com)

a tale of a bad dream

i woke up covered in sweat... this dream beat the one about being chased by wild cats. scary...i thought i left all those stuffs back in high school!!! hah. i dont remember the exact questions but it was something similar, an essay and solving a math equation. the other day i just had this conversation with a classmate during lunch about us being art student, we dont have to worry about doing examinations. unbeknownst, subconsciously we can...

banality

on weekend, i usually sleep until i leave a permanent dent on the mattress. today found me standing at the balcony at 8.30 am playing with house mate B's guinea pig. miracle. nah, its because i slept at 10 last night. while standing there, i noticed the faint smell of rubbish burning somewhere. in a disgusting way, i like it. form of aromatherapy, only cheaper. it reminds me of home, the smell emits a comforting feeling. back where i come from, Pekanbaru, disposing your garbage by burning them on your backyard is not an uncommon practice. i used to have this tuition teacher who burned his rubbish behind his house every evening. i sort of get used to the smell already. grimaced.







i like to tagged along to the market and snap pictures of unsuspecting folks.

unseasonal greeting

merry christmas everyone. ho ho ho. just ignore me. i did this while back last year but forgot to post it.

"a girl with an attitude" this is from a documentary on youtube. the girl has such a unique face. so i took a screen cap and drew her. can't help myself. of course i altered the features and all. but still, she has a unique quality thats mesmerizing. the docu is about how big oil companies exploit the oil in Africa and leave the land contaminated with oil spillage and pollution. i just spent the whole day watching documentaries.

did i drink too much water or my bladder getting smaller?

i never learn! urgh. once upon a time, i was reading Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians". i was very engrossed and hooked up on the suspense that i can't control my fingers and flipped on to the last two pages. there goes my eyes...i wished i could turn back time... sigh, it's just hard to control myself. Different Ugliness,Different Madness by Marc Males is a graphic novel about two individuals who deal with grief differently. one by running away and the other by living in denial. one day these to meet and were forced to confront their fear. now i sounds like DVD cover synopsis... anyway, the art is ok ok, but the storyline is superb. i slapped myself twice for peeking at the last page. do not do not do this. it'll ruin the twist in the story.


i think Slumdog Millionaire is highly overrated. if i had not watch City of God i may like it. if you watched Capote first and then followed by Infamous you'll get what i mean. the plot line is a bit similar, about kids growing up in poverty. how they survived and the choices they had to make along the line. one grew up with integrity while the other grew up with the antonym of integrity. pardon my limited vocabulary. i mean the other one went to the dark side. the way the story unravels is very interesting and refreshing. but somehow i found it a little too violent. i cringed at some scenes. one thing i really like is the movie's soundtrack. i like the humming melody at the end when the credits are rolling and when Jamal is looking for Latika. it's A.R.Rahman's "Latika's Theme" very soothing. kind of like Death in Vegas's "Girls" which was used in "Lost in Translation". if you want the songs i have them.
