Awww.... Great times!

Va mai aduceti aminte de filmul ala cu Gene Wilder, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? NU, nu Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, ci originalul, din 1971! In continuare imi place mult acel film, desi cred ca imi place varianta cu Depp mai mult-povestea e mai ampla. Insa ceea ce nu mi-a placut de la bun inceput la varianta cu Depp a fost muzica cantata de Woompa Loompas. In filmul din 71 era mai frumoasa melodia, si mesajul clar era unul pur educativ. De fapt, pe vremea aia mesajul la filmele de copii cam educativ era, si era si unul explicit, nu ascuns ca acum.

Enjoy!

GO UK !!!

Asa niste campanii si clipuri dure ar trebui sa fie si la noi date. Dar din cauza idiotilor de la CNA nu se poate. Mai bina sa moara sute de mii de oameni decat sa vada ceva naspa la TV.
Acest vieoclip este o campanie de atentionare cu privire la accidentele provocate de vorbitul la telefon la volan,realizata de politia britanica.

The Future Sounds Good

Nu stiu cat este pentru voi asta o noutate, probabil ati aflat de ceva timp despre el, but it's a fist for me! Vorbesc despre ideea telefonului Morph al celor de la Nokia,dezvoltata in colaborare cu Cambridge Univ(arata si la sfarsitul clipului)

Chiar cred ca e posibil sa faci asa ceva pe viitor, nu mi se pare asa un lucru SF. Acum 20 de ani nu se putea visa macar ca vom avea telefoane mobile mai mici ca un toc de ochelari,sau laptopuri. Ca sa nu mai zic de acultat muzica la ceasul de mana sau sa vorbesti la telefon la ceasul de mana. Nu am auzit sa existe ceasuri de mana si cu telefon si cu mp3, dar probabil exista sau vor exista in curand. Astea pareau acum 20 de ani de domeniul stintifico-fantasticului. Asa cum poate pare si Morph acum. Sau cum parea masa calculator a celor de la Microsoft acum cativa ani, dar ea exista!

Un videoclip publicitar extraordinar de bine facut, desi nu e HD va recomand vizionarea lui fullscreen.

Star Wars Lover

"The world would be a different place today if it weren't for Star Wars. People wouldn't walk around all day making Chewbacca noises for no apparent reason, the U.S. government wouldn't secretly be in the process of making lightsabers and America's first Death Star a reality and most people would still be afraid to make out with their sister. It would also be impossible for people to use the force and take people's clothes off with their minds."


Asta zicea blogul de unde am luat pozele de mai jos(cateva din pozele din postul respectiv.
este el am dat cu ajutorul barei StumbleUpon care o am la mozilla.

Iubesc Star Wars. Imi plac parca mai mult ultimele 3 parti, nu stiu de ce.Si este un miracol ca filme facute acum aproape 30 de ani, mai sunt asa populare si fac fata unor filme cu efecte speciale de ultima generatie. Lucas, ca si Spilberg este un geniu cinematografic, asta e clar. Poate de asta nu m-am uitat niciodata la ele in ordinea cronologica. De fiecare data m-am uitat la serie in ordinea in care a fost filmata. Ma uit la ulimele 3,pe care le indragesc atat de mult, si raman in continuiare uimit de robotiisi efectele speciale pe care puteau sa le faca cu tehnologia de atunci, si apoi ma uit la primele 3, si respir toata splendoarea de pe ecran,caci sunt atatea culori, forme,idei incat ramai... WOW!

Am spus ca iubesc Star Wars? :))

Mai e ceva de spus?

Dear Helen,

Thankyou for your letter concerning pets in my apartment. I understand that having dogs in the apartment is a violation of the agreement due to the comfort and wellbeing of my neighbours and I am currently soundproofing my apartment with egg cartons as I realise my dogs can cause quite a bit of noise. Especially during feeding time when I release live rabbits.

Regards, David.

Hello David

I have received your email and wish to remind you that the strata agreement states that no animals are allowed in the building regardless of if your apartment is soundproof. How many dogs do you have at the premises?

Dear Helen,

Currently I only have eight dogs but one is expecting puppies and I am very excited by this. I am hoping for a litter of at least ten as this is the number required to participate in dog sled racing. I have read every Jack London novel in preparation and have constructed my own sled from timber I borrowed from the construction site across the road during the night. I have devised a plan which I feel will ensure me taking first place in the next national dog sled championships. For the first year of the puppies life I intend to say the word mush then chase them violently around the apartment while yelling and hitting saucepan lids together. I have estimated that the soundproofing of my apartment should block out at least sixty percent of the noise and the dogs will learn to associate the word mush with great fear so when I yell it on race day, the panic and released adrenaline will spur them on to being winners. I am so confident of this being a foolproof plan that I intend to sell all my furniture the day before the race and bet the proceeds on coming first place.

Regards, David.

Dear Helen,

No. I have a goldfish but due to the air conditioner in my apartment being stuck on a constant two degrees celcius, the water in its bowl is iced over and he has not moved for a while so I do not think he is capable of disturbing the neighbours. The ducks in the bathroom are not mine. The noise which my neighbours possibly mistook for a dog in the apartment is just the looping tape I have of dogs barking which I play at high volume while I am at work to deter potential burglars from breaking in and stealing my tupperware. I need it to keep food fresh. Once I ate leftover chinese that had been kept in an unsealed container and I experienced complete awareness. The next night I tried eating it again but only experienced chest pains and diarrhoea.

Regards, David.

Hello David

You cannot play sounds of dogs or any noise at a volume that disturbs others. I am sure you can appreciate that these rules are for the benefit of all residents of the building. Fish are fine. You cannot have ducks in the apartment though. If it was small birds that would be ok.

David, under section 4 of the strata residency agreement it states that you cannot have pets. You agreed to these rules when you signed the forms. These rules are set out to benefit everyone in the building including yourself. Do you have a telephone number I can call you on to discuss?

Dear Helen,

The ducks will no doubt be flying south for the winter soon so it will not be an issue. It is probably for the best as they are not getting along very well with my seventeen cats anyway. .

Din cate vad, tipul are si site!

Ubi Sunt

Acum o saptamana-doua, tot in zi de weekend, trezindu-ma, am vrut sa ma uit la desene animate. Ma cuprinse o pofta de Droopy D(ca stiam ca il dadeau dimineata la Cartoon N), sau de looney tunes,tom & jerry, sau Dexter. Dau frumos pe butonul de on/off, caut eu cartoon network. Era o balareala de desen animat, pe care nici nu stiul cum il cheama, evident.Dau eu pe minimax, si pe celalalt,sperand ca totusi s-o gasi ceva.
Evident nu am avut noroc, am inchis TVul si am venit incoace.

Azi dimineata am avut aceeasi pornire. "Tare as vrea sa mai vad un desen animat!" Mi-am adus aminte de esecul trecut si am zis ca "Las', mai uit la un film de animatie!" Dar nu e aceeasi chestie! Nu se compara chiar deloc! Imi pare rau pentru copii de azi, ca nu au ce vedea la televizor. Adica, au ce vedea, dar fata de desenele cu care am crescut noi,astea sunt niste porcarii!
Mi-e dor de desenele copilariei mele!

Wonderful China

Am citit azi urmatorul articol despre China. Dupa cum ati vazut si in postul cu The Ramen Girl, imi plac chinese and japonese stuff! Tin sa mentionez ca dupa ce am citit articolul eram intr-o asa stare de visare, incat am inceput sa caut cat costa un bilet de avion pana acolo. Si apoi amintindu-mni de prima mea iubire(UK) in ceea ce priveste destinatiile,cultura,etc, am inceput sa caut si cat costa un biletel Bucuresti Londra. Asa, ca chestie!

Lectura placuta!

A la Jon Tickle!

In caz ca nu stiti cine este Jon Tickle, este acel negru cu ochelari de la Brainiac. Exact, ala! Mai pune el niste intrebari de astea imposibile, gen "Here's one for you, What would happen if everyone was to flush their toilet at the same time?". Astazi ma uitam la o emisiune pe Disc. Science, "Cum functioneaza?", sau ceva de genul.Acolo, au inceput sa vbeasca astia de programele de recunoastere a fetei si despre faptul ca in NY, Londra si alte locuri sunt camere de filmat peste tot pe strazi. Si nu numai la bancomate si in incintele unor diferite institutii, ci chiar pe strada. Acest lucru este un fenomen invaziv asupra intimitatii personale, si de aia fac astia cercetari sa sa schimbe acest lucru(cu programele de face recognition vor astia sa puna automat pe pelicula acele cadre blur peste fetele oamenilor si in caz ca politia ae nevoie de filmari sa se foloseasca un cod anume pentru a "debloca" fetele celor ce apar pe filmare). Bun, materialul s-a terminat zicala, sau ce o fi "Big Brother is watching you!

Reactia mea a fost de genul: "Yeah,right! Mai degraba Uncle Sam!"

Si gandindu-ma mai bine, chiar am descoperit ceva. Ceva de genul "stiati ca", sau "nu-i asa ca e interesant ca", care iti lasa de gandit, exact ca si Jon Tickle questions.

Uncle Sam este tipul ala care instiga baietii americani la ucis.Legal.In armata adica.El reprezinta natiunea americana ca intreg, statul de fapt.Uncle Sam e US. Big Brother se refera la personajul din 1984(nu am citit cartea niciodata, vazut filmul inainte de liceu, deci scuze daca nu e persoanj, dar are functia de personaj), personaj care urmarea tot ceea ce facea omul de rand, prezent in fiecare casa, incinta prin acele televizoare-camere de filmat. Deci, Big Brother era statul, nu?

Hey, wait a minute! I see a pattern here! Ambii sunt de fapt state intregi, si ambii sunt rude! Nu intru in politica sa arat de ce se aseamana US cu un stat opresiv(poate nu fata de cetatenii lui, dar fata de celelalte tari clar). O sa intru in alta discutie.

Big Brother. De ce un stat totalitar si-ar crea o astfel de imagine? De ce familia, ce treaba are cu tata,mama,fratele,bunicu? De ce nu si-au pus un militar falnic, de ce nu a intuit Orwell realitatea si mai mult si sa dezvolte aceasta religie,acest fanatism pentru dictator(avea o denumire anume acest fapt,dar am un lapsus)?La el nu era peste tot poza lui Ceausescu, Stalin sau dictatorul din cartea lui(daca e amintit vreodata) ci poza acelei imagini, fratele mai mare. Pentru ca Orwell inventand ceva si neinspirandu-se din realitate, a gandit prea mult probabil acest fapt. Parerea mea e ca e mai usor de acceptat a FATHER FIGURE, decat a unui strain. Fratele mai mare te iubeste! Si te iubeste atat de mult incat te protejeaza de ce e mai rau, chiar daca asta inseamna sa-ti faca tie rau. Tough love, cum zic americanii! Si astfel accepti mai usor opresiunea dictatoriala, pentru ca "e spre binele tau", statul te iubeste ca un frate mai mare, nu iti vrea raul!

Si acum revin la Uncle Sam. Nu e curios ca si ei au ales sa fie reprezentati de o ruda? Bun, putin mai indeparta, nu e tata sau frate. Dar e unchi. Tot mascul, tot figura autoritara in constiinta populatiei. Nu e ceva curios oare la mijloc? Mie mi se pare cel putin ciudata asemanarea. Nu stiu vreun alt stat sa recurga la o astfel de imagine, si clar nu Unchiul, Tatal, Bunicul Sfatos sau Mama Fertila!
Sper ca v-am dat de gandit la chestia asta. O seara placuta!

Music moments

Una din formatiile care imi plac mult. Imi plac melodiile ce au parti de cor , opera,latina, ca acestea sau ca Prince Igor(poate asta va e mai cunoscut). Incercand sa dau peste astfel de melodii, am dat peste formatia asta. Si vad ca se incapataneaza sa ramana in playlistul meu, desi sunt vreo 2 ani daca nu mai bine, de cand o ascult.

Music moments

Fata frumoasa, voce asemenea,cantec misto.




O super formatie:

Film Night

Mi s-a parut interesant de vazut, pornind de la trailer, insa l-am evitat cateva zile. Nu aveam chef sa ma uit la el, pentru ca on second thought am zis ca e posibil sa nu fie cine stie ce, mai ales ca nu s-a auzit de el. Mie imi place de Murphy, are un stil anume care imi place uneori.Acum insa nu ma astptam sa imi placa. Evident, m-am inselat. Daca sunteti pasionati de cultura japoneza sau chineza, e un film dragut de vazut, va va placea. Evident ca are si cateva linguri de filozofie tipic asiatica, cu metaforele de rigoare. Are si umor, si un varf de cutit de magie(doua scene). Pareau putin cam trase de par, mai ales ultima, insa all in all, eu zic ca merge.
Un film taman bun pentru a te rupe 2 h de lume si pentru a te relaxa. Daca as fi avut unde si bani, as fi dat o raita la un restaurant japonez fuga fuguta!

Planuiesc sa ajung la unul din cele chinezesti, cand voi avea cu ce. Pana atunci, mai exersez cu betisoarele prin casa!

GaGa

Vroiam de mai de mult sa-i ofer un post ei, insa pana acum am tot evitat. Nu cred ca va place la toti, insa mie imi place mult. Mi se pare un mister. Vorba lui Cornel de la Vunk, cand e frumoasa, cand nu, nu pot sa imi fac o parere clara despre ea, -cel putin fizic vorbind. Si asta ma incita sa ma uit si mai mult la ea. Muzica ei este foarte fresh, are un sound mai diferit fata de ce e in rest pe piata, asa mi se pare mie cel putin. Stilul ei este diferit! Poarta haine traznite, outfituri indraznete, combinari ciudate, dar care pe ea merg de minune. Are un corp lucrat, se vede clar! Nu este o schiloada de fata, si pulpele alea care par masive din cand in cand pe sticla, par a fi rezultatul unui sport.
Camd asta e esenta a ceea ce vroiam sa spun despre ea, nu cred ca are rost sa continui mai mult cu apa in piua.






Aici e chiar frumusica





Aici parca arata ca o baba, cu obrajii aia plini, nu stiu, e nasoala in poza asta. Intelegeti la ce ma refer cand zic ca ea acum arata bine, acum arata nasol?















Asta clar e marca ei. In fiecare videoclip poarta astfel de chiloti, pantaloni, body, ce-o fi, ca nu stiu cum se numeste.




PS:Urmeaza un film review ceva mai incolo!
