It's all about the movies

Yes, bumming makes you do the ultimate bum things in life.

You know you're a bum when:

  1. You somehow end up staying at home everyday
  2. You actually don't really mind staying at home
  3. Even if you're not home you're doing something unproductive like "yamcha" and pointless walking in the malls
  4. Walking up and down the stairs completes the exercise of the day.
  5. You have a massage chair for a computer chair
  6. Your computer's on most of the time
  7. You have an internet browser filled with Facebook tabs.
  8. You reply to walls and feeds/comments on Facebook within the minute.
  9. You have an internet browser filled with IMDB tabs.
  10. You search for new and high rated movies everyday, then buy DVDs to watch
  11. You have an internet browser filled with YouTube tabs.
  12. You watch every other video linked to the first YouTube video you watched.
  13. Your MSN has like a 100 contacts online but all you really do is chat with the girls (Hey at least im honest).
  14. You start updating your blog regularly.
  15. You procrastinate in everything supposedly important.
The list goes on. But yea.

So this bum decided to buy more "cheap" DVDs after hearing from Jay Son about this show called "Slumdog Millionaire"

When I first heard of it's name this came into my mind:




Hell yeah it's a rich dog


Turns out the poster looks like:


This show, my dear readers (which I can probably count with 10 fingers) won the Golden Globe Awards 2009 (Meaning it's for 2008 shows) for Best Director, Motion Picture, Original Score and Screenplay. Holey Moley!

I bet Chinky will be like "WTF it's about indians how the f?" (Don't shoot me I'm not racist... well, "Everyone's a little bit racist" quote Avenue Q)

Truth be told, the poster didn't really convince me. I mean I can probably do a better job with it. Looks like a cheap C grade movie if I didn't know about it.

Turns out it was a pretty awesome show! Engages the audience (me at least) throughout the show. I will not spill too much out, so here's my summary of the story

Slumdog Millionaire is about the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year old orphan from the slums, who is about to win the "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" game show, but got arrested by the police who suspected him to be cheating (because how would a slumdog know these stuff?) on the show. So as to prove his innocence he tells the story about his life, growing up in the slums, adventures on the road, and meeting his one true love.....


All in all a very captivating story, but I don't see how it won Best Movie. I mean aren't there even better shows throughout the year? Personally I'll rate it 8.3/10.

Ooh, the show stars a beautiful Freida Pinto (... Freida... *uncomfortable* lol Cempakans you know why)



Freida Pinto


I find her looking very much like

Dania Ramirez (Maya in Heroes)

Though Dania's boobs are heavier and confirm fake, but she looked so so so hot in Heroes Season 3! Ooo Season 3 Ended. Im waiting for Season 4 it's called Fugitives! Can't wait!



And by the way, I also just watched Bolt! Super adorable show! Highly reccomended! Very cute twist in the beginning. 7.8/10!




Awwwww!




Aaaaaand another recommended show is of course Ip Man! This show is the first show I watched in 2009. Awesome awesome. If you're into fighting, you MUST watch this. Also a film depicting the Chinese pride! WO SHI ZHONG GUO REN!




Waa wtf long post. Haha. Won't be blogging anytime soon, I've still got other high rated shows like Seven Pounds and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button to watch! Heeee.
