:: gods are humans who do things other humans can't do! ::

As you all know that I am a huge fan of intial d :P and so when i heard the movie was coming out i was basically shitting in my pants..haha..So yesterday I watched initial D with seng yip, and here's a review!

Firstly, we had obatained the tickets using my super trick (previous post :P) and we got really great seats (or so we thought!) we got LAST row seats for some hot movie, and we stood in line for about 30 minutes! how cool is that? haha

well anyways, the last row seats were bullshit :p they were level with the 2nd-last row seats, which meant that heads blocked our views! so well I decided what the heck, and I sat on the aisle intead and watched the movie from there :P it was pretty comfortable and most importantly there were no heads to block my view haha..

so on to the movie-
from the starting scene where Bunta falls down the stairs, and Itsuki gives his speech about gods, you know you're in for a comedy! seriously, this movie was hilarious! one of my favorite comedic scenes has to be when Itsuki wants to race again with his dad's car, and the camera zooms out- funny shit!

the movie revolves around Takumi, a really good driver who has been driving up and down mountain passes for five years delivering tofu for his dad. One day he 'accidentally' beats a street racer and that marks his beginning into the world of street racing (or should i say mountain pass racing?).. shit, i suck at writing summaries..go google for it online :P

one thing about the movie is that alot of things have been changed from the anime/manga in this big screen adaptation, and people will either like it or hate it..

people new to the movie wouldn't mind and would probably like this movie alot as it is very entertaining throughout, but hardcore fans expecting an exact transalation to the screen will be disappointed

so why they didn't follow the original story was probably due to time constraints- they possibly couldn't fit all the characters and races into one sitting- the movie compressed 3 stages of the anime (thats about 16 hours?) into one 2 hour film..

most probably there won't be a sequel, because of the cut up story line :p unless they create a totally new story from then on

problems i with the movie: the racing sequences weren't as exciting and fleshed out as the ones in the anime (most probably due to time again) and there was very little mention about the 'techniques' used, which was basically what the racing in the anime was all about.. the racing was fast paced and exciting, but it just didn't capture the same spirit as the anime. For people new to the movie, i don't know if its a problem, but yeah that was a let down for me. other minor quirks were the fact that the emperor team was dressed up in ridiculous get up! leather jackets with metal spikes? flashing LEDs all over their trucks? come on, they were gangster-like, but they didn't have to turn out looking like circus freaks :P

but overall it was a good movie, the plot moved on interestingly enough (though i feel there might be some stuff that people new to the movie might not understand) and there is alot of action and humor to keep it running along

fans of jay chou will definitely be flocking to watch this film, since its his acting debut after all, imho not a bad start for a movie career (how often does one get to burst into the scene with the lead role of a popular character? exactly!) the lead girl, natsuki, is also one hot girl :p

i'd give the movie 8/10, definitely a movie i will watch again..for fans of street racing, cars, jay (or any of the hk actors) and anyone looking for an enjoyable movie to watch

and if you enjoyed it, you'd have to check out the anime for a much better grasp of the whole series :P

:: The genius strikes again! ::

Remember awhile ago I taught you guys the trick to book movie tickets online? well, I've got some new tricks to share for use at cinemas!

You know whenever there's huge movies, they separate the lines for buying tickets? E.g. counters 1-4 other movies, counters 5-6 kung fu hustle (or more recently, intial d only)

the cinema people think that by doing this they can make the lines flow faster, and people who don't want to watch the hot movie don't have to stand in super long lines..and well guess what? it works! you always see the hot movie lines extending all the way to other shops and the 'other movie' lines really short

well guess what- YOU DON'T NEED TO LINE UP IN THE 'HOT MOVIE' LINE to buy tickets for the hot movie! yes folks! this is true! I've done it twice already, and most recently was yesterday for Initial D! hell we even got last row seats! (more on that later)

You just line up in the normal line and purchase your tickets normally..the cashier isn't going look at you weird or ask you to move to the back of the line for cheating, cos it isn't cheating :p damn i'm awesome, and now you guys can be awesome too!

Another great cinema tip from Evening Drama!

:: stupid aliens on radio ::

the other day there was this advert on radio about recycling, and they used this voice of an alien who sounded like he was dying and he was saying shit like
"Earthlings, I am from another galaxy far away..for thousands of years, Earthlings have been using Earth's resources and burning them etc.." and he keeps repeating shit about pollution and saying 'Earthlings' every 5 seconds.

so I was thinking, wtf? Why the hell do aliens give a shit about our plant anyway? From what I learnt from tv, movies, novels, and comic books, all they wanna do is destroy earth, abduct cows, rape babies, and make crop circles

since when did aliens become tree-hugging pricks?

:: first question ever! ::

this came from a friend of mine, she asked

"how would I know if a guy likes me?"

well, i said (i can't remember exactly what i said :p):

if you think a guy likes you, you should ask him "do you like me?"
i mean, a question like this will probably catch the guy off guard, and he'll tell the answer..he won't be able to lie- if he does like her- it is his moment, his chance to reveal to the girl how he really feels for her.. i doubt any guy would lie at this given opportunity.. hell you could probably smell a lie from a mile away- i mean, if he hesitates, or takes a long time to come up with a 'no' he's probably lying! if he doesn't like you, he wouldn't hesitate to say no.. and a guy wouldn't say yes if he didn't like you..

she said something like "what if he doesn't like her? it would be embaressing!"

it wouldn't be really embaressing, i mean its something you could joke about later..there's no harm done in asking (imho)

well in case you wish to be more tactful, the other way to go about this is to look for hints:

- he's being too nice to you- he goes out of his way just to please you
- he buys you stuff (duh!)
- he talks to you alot, or tries to (this is if you haven't ignored him yet.. lol)
- he tells all his friends about you
- he keeps asking you out
- he actually cares about you or the stuff you say

and that's all i have to say! :p

well, if you guys have other answers/comments, please do speak up!

EDIT: from tj-
"throw your tits at him - if he doesn't do anything, HE REALLY DOESN"T LIKE YOU"
"and you're probably pretty ugly"

and keep the questions coming!
