Drama vs Movie

Album: Undergraph - Subarashiki nichijyou (素晴らしき日常)

There's always a debate whether the drama version or movie version is better from a particular title. For me, if it's a japanese title, most of the time i prefer the drama version. Latest ones such as Deep Love, Densha Otoko (電車男), or Crying out, in the Center of the World (世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ). The drama version had the length advantage since it's longer, however for me it's not the reason i prefer drama version over movie, it's the cinematography and the way it shot. Sometimes i think the pace of the eiga (movie) even slower than dorama (drama). Eiga are more artistic in way that normal folk like me can't appreciate it's value, i always wonder, when they're going to talk???, stop staring at each other!! The scenes sometimes changes abruptly, and the theme songs only played during the ending credits. Now i really sounded that i hate eiga. I'll still watch it as long as my fave actors are in it, just no horror please. Well doramas also have it's own pros and cons as well. Just want to point out that if there's eiga and dorama version, 90% i'll choose dorama. Why? Because they'll play the theme song until you get sick of it, there's more up close shots, because i love dorama~


PS: Just watched Dragon Tiger Gate (lol what a retarded translation) yesterday, i have to admit Donnie Yen was quite hot despite it's age, and Nicholes Tse sure can kick @sses with his 'kicking skills'. CG's can be quite fake at times (blame pirates of C) and the storyline was typical, revenge stuff with a powerful boss. Watch it if you wanna see some nice action flick, with plenty of cool fighting scenes. Kinda sad cos the females in the drama not leng enough.....

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Album: Coldplay - Parachutes, A Rush of Blood to the Head

Went to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 2 today with PC at Mid Valley. We bought the 'early bird' tickets, which are cost RM 6 each (Next time i should watch this time slot) Before we went in the cinema hall, we decided to go buy some food to ease our hunger. Bought sushi at Jusco, then Extreme Mocha at San Fransisco's, since only Mid Valley outlet got this buy 1 free 1 promo, i won't miss the chance to buy everytime i come here, their mocha is so rich and thick of choc and coffee flavour, definately one of the best i've ever drink. Then i bought pop corn at GSC just to hide our 'outside food'. The pop corn tasted badly btw, seriously are they going to set quality control over this??? After we went in, i started to eat my temaki roll and the food i brought in, while waiting for the movie to show. We were chatting and munching, talking about the good old days, as well as our recent lives, bet the Malay sitting beside us were annoyed of us since we talked kinda loud, pai se haha. 11.15 the movie started, that time then we took out the mocha from PC's bag and sip it while watching DMC, perfect drink, just it felt weird combining it with pop corn.

As for the movie, the first thing PC said after it ended was 'very nice~'. I thought so too, maybe cos i'm biased since Keira Knightley was in it, been watching all her major releases after first caught her in BILB, can't wait for 'Silk' to be released at Oct, since it's something Japanese+French+Keira, interesting combo, just that it is a period drama =/ . Anyway, there's never a single dull moment in this movie, highly entertaining, those creatures can be quite disgusting due to it's detailness. Many people said part 1 was better, i think mainly it's because it has an proper ending (hint hint). PC and me laughed hysterically most of the time, even at those 'not so easy-to-laugh' moments, and since the hall not fulled, think we are the noisiest ones. Really had a great time watching with her, just realised it was our first ever movie outing hee...

How To Save A Life

Album: The Fray - How To Save A Life

どうやって命を救いなのか?

I'm wide awake now, and for those who's reading this, i shall explain the meaning behind my blog motto: how to save a life. Well it's taken from a song from The Fray (obviously), i first heard was from one of my fave drama, Grey's Anatomy in the episode, Superstition, then it was played again on my other fave, Scrubs. Clearly both are medical shows, i always have a thing with medical shows, ER, House, Nip/Tuck, every new releases i'll make sure i'll take a glimpse of it (now i have to follow 5 medical shows at the same time =/) Same apply on j-dramas, if it's on the medical field, it'll be on my must watch list, manga as well. However, i don't have the brains nor the determination to become a doctor, it takes a lot of commitment to be one, therefore sincerely i salute to those willing to take up this challege and persue a medical degree to wear the sacred 'white coat'. Life is so unpredictable, you'll never know what happens next, you just have to stick with the people you cared the most before it's too late......till that time you'll start to wonder:" Had I known how to save a life? Where did i go wrong?"

Ok enough ranting now, i think my next entries will be much the same, maybe more on reviews and stuff, if you can 'endure' my english and weird japanese, feel free to read it. Till then, ja~
