Brandon Hardesty, Master Mimic.

I came across this video on YouTube a while back. This guy's done countless scenes from many movies in his Re-Enactment series, among other short clips. The clip below is his 18th from the series, and his portrayal of Jeff Goldblum is flawless to say the least.


".. and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, you packaged it, you slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and you're selling it, you want to sell it!"

I've always been a 'Jurassic Park' fan: watched the movie more times than you can count (probably), read the novel and in addition, the whole Chaos Theory thing entwined into the superbly ingenious story-line regarding how man abuses his power and place in nature to try and recreate what nature itself thought best to end, which was the reign of dinosaurs, really does make your head spin. The above scene discusses just that. It's just summarized, of course.

Here's another scene he does from 'Pan's Labyrinth'. Excellente.


He's done 'Juno', 'A Few Good Men', 'Reservoir Dogs' and a couple of others. Go watch and learn something.

'Wanted' Blows. Hard.


Avoid this movie at all costs. ALL COSTS. By any means necessary. Don't let the star-studded main cast (Jolie, McAvoy, Freeman) or the beautifully airbrushed movie poster fool you (for those who were lucky enough to choose Hancock above this piece of shit). Krusty, I feel like ripping your guts out for even RECOMMENDING me this movie. I happened to have found out much later he hadn't even watched the movie yet, solely suggesting it to me because he heard Jolie appears 'nacked' (which, to our dismay, was also censored). WARNING: SPOILER ABOVE.

To give you an idea how angry I am after drafting this entry and deleting all the unnecessary yet essential vulgarities that I might need in order for ideal movie justice to be served, IT'S BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE I SAW IT.

'Wanted'. I really whiled my life away on that one. Bullet-bending bullshit.

Bubble Town The Shit!



It's also the new 'in' thing in the office. You and friends/colleagues can compete on who gets the highest score, see. So plainly put, BRAGGING RIGHTS.


ALLY, I SO OWN YOU.

Bubble Town. The best thing that's happened to me since your mom's hernia operation.

The Way Of The Lethargic Seafarer.

Just got back from Paya Beach, Tioman after a 4-day stint with Jo. Aside from pesky sand-flies and the royal rumble in my bowels, it was without question the best time I had all year. Would've liked more photos taken of me though. Snorkeling was great, PLUS I had a glimpse of a certain someone coughing out foamy sea phlegm, from her nose. Totally awesome.


First sight that greeted me when we got there was how many friggin' buffed-up Chinamen there were that were clad in tight rubber suits up to their waist who were all about going scuba-diving. And the whales that went with them. Seriously: Not one decent-looking bikini-wearing mother. Jo instantly pointed out that there was her and I didn't hesitate to agree.


Our rooms were really cozy, to say the least. Only drawback is when an anonymous decides to get IIBS (Insanely Irritable BowelS) there's nothing much you can do to clear out the smelly air. Jo foresaw this when she brought along a bottle of her most expensive perfume.


On another note, I forfeited about 400 BUCKS (I'm hurting as I'm typing this) when I didn't cash it in when I had the chance because I totally believe in karma.

From start to finish, I was:
a. a luggage boy.
b. a slave.
c. a PROFESSIONAL MODEL PHOTOGRAPHER.

This isn't an MCQ. I was all three.

All in all, great holiday. :)
