Ironies

We don’t talk a lot, but everyone talks about us.

We talk a lot, but noone talks about us.

I hate it when I’m online in the wee hours of the night morning, and I find it hard to keep my eyes open (even without MSN Messenger open) and I’m struggling to finish just that last bit of whatever it is I’m doing…

…and I pull through. The energy reserves kick in. I finish my stuff. Except of course, that I’m no longer sleepy.

In 367 days, the live action Transformers movie will be launched. The official website says 7.4.7. Damn Americans! Turns out it wasn’t 7th of April 2007 but 88 days later, on the 4th of July 2007.

On a side note, Superman Returns was disappointing. I’d expect action from Bryan Singer, who did X-Men 1 and 2; instead we got loads of majestic shots of Superman hovering slowly, taking a cue from Cartoon Network’s Captain Linger. At least Captain Linger is funny!

I remember Superman 1 and 2 being epic, with Superman doing amazing feats. Now, he does amazingly ridiculous feats and spouts corny lines. Thankfully, they retained that warm technicolor 1970’s color tone. The Superman movies also probably invented product placement, (he throws the villian into a Coke billboard) and the tradition is retained in Superman Returns. At over 2 and a half hours, it is best you find a comfy seat if you were a fan. GSC 1 Utama’s headrests hurt!

P.S. Look out for one of Lex Luthor’s henchmen, who seems like he’s just tagging along because Lex promised him some White Castle. 😀

    Bryan Singer has never been an action director lar. he tends to focus more on the character development more than the action. even X1 and X2 were not full-blown action flicks…

    you want action, go watch a Michael Bay film or something, or Brett Ratner’s hack job X3 lar. heh.

    Well, there’s a lot of merchandising in there. Funny thing is that I thought Superman Returns was set in a time when there was no handphones, much less a camera phone!

    Oh well.

    Hmm yeah, but I remember X1 and X2 being a lot more eventful than this one.

    Michael’s doing Transformers; I’d rather have mindless action than Bryan’s drag strip.

    yeah – ur hoping he notices u, but he doesn’t. at the same time, you’re wishing that the other person stops spewing lines, but he just keeps those smses flowing. irony indeed.
