Quantum of Solace

Is James Bond back? I doubt so. After being mesmerized by the slick style of Casino Royale, I was excited to catch the film. However, despite being the sequel to one of the best spy films I've seen, it was just another action flick. No style.

It was just mindless! It didn't feel like a Bond film and it would have been no different if Vin Diesel played as Bond in the film. Don't get me wrong, Daniel Craig still had his new Bond charm but this emo look is too much.

Just Fields. (Who would call themselves Strawberry? No wonder you didn't say it..)
My biggest complaint was the lack of a recognizable foe. No bleeding eye, no iron teeth. All I see is short man and a Military General bent on domination. That my friends is too cliche. I'd rather have the eye bleeding gambler come back to life.

One particular scene, however, stands out from the rest of the film. Referenced as the Oilfinger scene, it is a homage to the older Bond film and honestly, this is the only scene that felt truly Bond.

My Latest Look

I thought the Blog title is getting old and dull, so I took some time to think of how to change and design it. With the help of the photoshop I finally got it fixed. I thought I was going to make another failed attempt with the program but after I did the Sackboy drawing then I finally have the confidence I need to design it.

Myself wearing my favourite colours, my favourite Dean Guitar, and some Dimebag Lightning ^^
Now, to explain why I still take the simple approach. First of all, I don't want to complicate this blog. People design their blogs to the point it gets really difficult to visit. That is why I:

1. Don't add songs from Imeem (they start playing in auto, BIG no-no)
2. Never use user-made Blog Templates (Besides, it's not original).
Next to that, I like the Verdana font (and I've used it alot during the Comic Contest). So I kept my original title, because I still remember how passionate I was when I came up with that name, then added a small quote from Dante's Inferno. "Abandon all Hope, Ye who enter here"


I like it simple and original. There is no need for some slowing down, just instant access. Visitors don't check out your blog many times just to look at your template. A blog is all about what you write that defines yourself. There's some helpful advice from your favourite Blogger ^^

Oh yeah, here's a pic of me before leaving to Yean's party. I thought the guitar would help shape the 'rockstar' image better but mom liked it alot so she got me to pose for a few minutes. That's how I got the inspiration for the title.

That's right, My guitar TRULY has Wings

Whole Lotta Rosie

AC/DC is one of those bands that stay flawless as they age. Today I'm not going to touch on their latest album 'Black Ice'. I want to talk about their Greatest Album 'Let There Be Rock'. You can't find Back in Black in there but there are song that have an undeniable charm. My favourite being 'Highway to Hell' and of course, 'Whole Lotta Rosie'.

No other song written have been so passionate about obese woman. Even today, fans are still searching for that Rosie Bon Scott RIP talked about. Rosie, when it comes to lovin', she'll steal the show.


Wanna tell you a story
'Bout a woman I know
When it comes to lovin'
Oh, she steals the show
She ain't exactly pretty
She ain't exaclty small
42-39-56
You could say she's got it ALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!

Never had a woman, never had a woman like you
Doin' all the things, doin' all the things you do
Ain't no fairy story
Ain't no skin-and-bones
But you give all you got, weighin' in at nineteen stone

You're a whole lotta woman
A whole lotta woman
I gotta whole lotta Rosie
A whole lotta Rosie
A whole lotta Rosie
I gotta whole lotta woman, yeah-yeah-yeah

Honey, you can do, do it to me all night long
Only one can turn, only one can turn me on
All through the night-time
Right around the clock
To my suprise, Rosie never stops

You're a whole lotta woman
A whole lotta woman
I gotta whole lotta Rosie
A whole lotta Rosie
A whole lotta Rosie
I gotta whole lotta woman, yeah-yeah-yeah

Ozzy Osbourne in Samsung Commercial

Trouble understanding Ozzy? This is hilarious! You've seen the other side of Ozzy that behind this Visage of Metal is a mumbling english man. No offense to Ozzy, Ozzy is still my absolute favourite rocker. Long live the Godfather of Metal.

Who watches the Watchmen? I do!

Related to post "Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes" Sunday, August 03, 2008

Again, I'm talking about the Watchmen. It has been 3 months since I wrote about the first trailer. There's some new footage of the film and it proves Zack Snyder true, that he'd make the film as true to the comic as possible (like he did with 300, but how true will it be? Will he add another subplot?)

The Comedian, Ozymandias, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre and Rorsharch.

There is a new trailer released and I can make out all of the scenes in the trailer from the comic book. Neat huh? Really, this comic is the best among all comic books!

Keep watching to see the Twilight trailer ^^

Let's see if I can remember the scenes right. If Zack Snyder copied the film page by page, then it's like watching the movie already!

HEAR BE SPOILERS!

0:21 - Manhattan and Laurie/Silk Spectre after the destruction
0:24 - Manhattan came to being
0:36 - Rorsharch after the murder
0:42 - The police riots before the ban.
0:49 - The Comedian when the US 'won' the Vietnam War
1:03 - Dan Dreiberg/Nite Owl gets it on with Laurie Juspeczyk/Silk Spectre. O_O
1:08 - Manhattan, the reason for winning the Vietnam War
1:16 - Laurie Juspeczyk in disbelief after she hears the truth
1:20 - Manhattan crashing through the Antarctic base.
1:30 - The murder that started it all.

What else? Watch the movie coming out next year!

Feel the fury of my Sackboy!

I'm currently playing Little Big Planet for the PS3 (don't worry, I'm lightening up my game time this month). It's just so cool! You can make anything out of the stuff you find in the game!

Best of all? You can costume your Sackboy or Sackgirl (that's you!) like it's your favourite doll! Awww.. I love my little Sackboy so much I drew him a portrait.

I shall name you Satan, after one of the greatest heroes in epic poetry ^_^

Now I'm off to create a burning effigy used for god worship so I can crash it with a flying submarine ^_^ Coolness.

Omi Gibson

Cosplay may not be my thing, but it's still superb art form. I want to talk about one cosplayer who I think stands out from all the rest. She could may be the greatest. I'm talking about a Japanese Cosplayer named Omi Gibson. What I find most striking (as did many other people) is her very realistic portrayal of anime and game characters. Some might be trying too hard, but Omi Gibson is an expert in making her costume, well, believable.

Here are some examples of her work. I like them so much, I arranged them according to what I find is the best.

Motoko Kusanagi from GITS

I don't think this is her best effort but the way she poses for the camera, you could tell she is working hard to capture the same essence that the character that she portray has.

Saya from Blood+

She must be the master of making grim pictures. The blood on her cheek and the fearsome colors of her eyes can almost make her a live action TV star.

Nurse from Silent Hill 3

Look at the dried blood all over her uniform! You could tell her effort to making the costume as true as possible!

Jill Valentine from RE3

Picking the right materials and the right props and the right wig, you can make gamers fall for you.

Cyborg Ninja from MGS1

This is one of her attempts to play a male character. See how she picks the right lenses and the material of her costume to make it appear realistic yet comfortable.

Meryl from MGS1

This one is a photo genius! She copied the pose with exquisite detail and used darker shades to create a movie like interpretation of the game character. We all love to dream for a Metal Gear Solid film.

The Joy from MGS3

Her most well known costume. The tone of her skin beautifully fits to the costume. This is a perfect example of imitating your favourite character then making them your own.

Revy from Black Lagoon

I love Black Lagoon, and the first time I saw Omi Gibson was this picture of her as Revy. I've never seen such a cosplayer who could not only portray such an insane character but also act like one. If there was ever a Black Lagoon live action film, I'd rather have her or anyone with her skill to portray the gun-slinging Revy.
