I think I will officially declare STARDUST as my most favorite movie this year! ....or maybe even my favorite movie EVER! Dare I trump Stardust over Batman Begins? Let me contemplate for a few more days... XD

How sad is the Indonesian cinema really?! I've so been waiting for it since I saw previews for it on E!Channel but it never arrived to Indonesian cinemas and I ended up watching it on the inflight movies of SINGAPORE AIRLINES during my flight to and from Singapore this weekend! WTF?! Seriously!!! I watched the first half flying from Jakarta to Singapore, and the second half on my return flight! And NO, THE TEENY TINY KRISWORLD SCREEN ON THE BACK OF A PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE BEAUTY OF THIS FILM SO I WILL MARCH MYSELF TO THE CINEMAS SOMETIME THIS WEEK (apparently Stardust FINALLY arrived in Indonesian cinema last week) AND WATCH IT AT LEAST 6 MORE TIMES OR SOMETHING!!!!

And I just went to Aki's site and saw that SHE LOVED IT TOO! *squee* I agree with what she said, I don't give a crap's a$$ about what the reviewers say about it, I just know that I LOVE IT TO DEATH!!! It's such a wonderful fairytale, and I'm such a sucker for fairytales... especially since this one has it all: an enchanted kingdom, evil evil witches, an enchanted objects (the STAR, the Babylon candle), A GAY PIRATE CAPTAIN (OMG!), a common boy who turns out to be of long lost royal bloodline... hell, they even have unicorns!!! AND IT'S ALL ABOUT TRUE LOVE! Isn't that what fairytales are always about? But it's not like some sappy fairytale, I especially love how witty it is, it's almost like, it's a blend between a classic fairytale and the modern day sarcastic dysfunctionality! Such as Captain Shakespeare... WTF! I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!!!!!!! XD XD XD I almost LOLed to death on the plane when he revealed his ahem... "CLOSETED" CLOSET XD And Ricky Gervais... OMG... why the heck are every single one of his roles that I've ever seen are all annoyingly funny? XD He cracks me up!

I love love love how every detail of this movie is soooo... fantasy magical. Like, having a dying king send his remaining sons (who haven't killed each other yet) on a quest to retrieve a stone that will determine who shall be king, having a star take form of a young woman, and that the heart of a star could give eternal life to those who possess it, and when one of the princes was slain, it was shown that he literally has a blue-colored blood! In a way it's a very cliche fairytale, but told in a way that I've never seen before. Seriously... this story is so enchanting, I can't stop talking about it! I will recite it to my children (when I do have children, that is! ...or basically, ANY CHILDREN!!!) Speaking of which, I'm still not sure how I will explain a cross-dressing gay pirate captain to little children but OH WHATEVER! XD And the guy who played Tristan Thorne is such a cutie! Somehow, he reminds me so much of a very young-looking TOM WELLING! THUD! I think they have the same puppy eyes... ahhh he's just all too cute and so wholesome, I love Tristan! ESPECIALLY after Capt Shakespeare transformed him into such a well-dressed royal-looking young lad (but still nevertheless dorky) XD Ahhh I guess I do still love Tom Welling (despite he's gotten a little bit FAT now LOLOLOL XD)

And although I just don't like Claire Danes in general, but I have to say that she did a pretty good job as Yvaine... she does, in a way, have that glowing innocence of an enchanted being kind of look... so yeah no complaints there

I really think that I'm gonna watch this at least 5 more times! Ahhh it's the little girl in me who loves fairytales so much who wants to see it THAT MANY TIMES! XD

I can't believe that instead of writing about recent blockbuster movies I've seen such as Transformers, Live Free or Die Hard, or even the latest Potter installment, it is actually this ridiculously crappy movie that compelled me to open a WRITE NEW POST page and actually start writing here XD When it arrived at the theaters I absolutely REFUSE REFUSE REFUSEDDDD to spend a single cent to watch it in the cinemas because of how CRAPPY it looks. Well, I was right. It really is as crappy as it looks, but nevertheless when you're not doing anything on a Sunday night and nothing else more interesting is on because a boring political debate has decided to delay Shokura by an hour... well, it makes a pretty good entertainment. So that makes it a GOOD BAD MOVIE? XD

Well at least it seemed like they did shoot the movie in Japan though, AT LEAST the Japan set makes it interesting for me. I can't stop laughing when the dad made him wear those Japanese highschool uniforms you always see in doramas and mangas though, like DUDE, A WHITE BOY WHO SPEAKS NO JAPANESE WHATSOEVER GETS FORCED INTO A SCHOOL UNIFORM AND SENT TO A LOCAL JAPANESE SCHOOL??? WTF??? Shouldn't he be enrolled in an INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL??? And in this freakin' local school there's also a gaijin girl and BOW WOW (who isn't so Li'l anymore! XD) IT'S SOOOO FUNNY!!! WTFFFF??

I kinda missed the first part so I have no idea why the white boy did wrong in the States that got him shipped over to his military dad in Japan. I just know he got into trouble that has something to do with car racing? I only stumbled on the part when he arrived at his dad's CUBICLE APARTMENT and his dad reprimanding him to STAY THE FRAK AWAY FROM CARS, but what does he do in his FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL? He goes racing and successfully pissed off the BMOC hotshot YAKUZA who looks more like a Hongkong gangster dude than Japanese!!! DUDE IN FACT, EVERY SINGLE JAPANESE PERSON WHO HAS ENGLISH LINES DOES NOT LOOK JAPANESE OR SOUND LIKE THEY COULD SPEAK JAPANESE AT ALL!!! And then I went to IMDB and every single one of them had like... CHINESE SURNAMES!!! Why can't Hollywood just get JAPANESE PEOPLE to play JAPANESE PEOPLE??? Is it because they can't find a single Japanese actor who can speak English... or what? LOL...

And the 30-second cameo of Satoshi Tsumabuki was pretty cool, even though he only had TWO FREAKIN' LINES... "Yokoso!!!" and "GO!!!!" WTFFFFF it would've been cooler if he was given a more substantial role than what he was credited for on IMDB: "Exceedingly Handsome Guy" XDDDD That was sooooo WTFROFLLLLL I think I've actually seen this credit before when I first heard that SaTsu was doing a cameo for this film, and I laughed to death then, and I'M STILL LAUGHING TO DEATH NOW!!!! That's probably the most WTF credit I've ever encountered though... "Exceedingly Handsome Guy" THUD... AT LEAST if they had only said "Handsome Guy" it would be normal, but "EXCEEDINGLY HANDSOME" is just too... LOL~ it's like being credited as "HOPELESSLY STUPID FRIEND" instead of just "STUPID FRIEND"

Oh what a crappily entertaining movie this was. I'm actually gonna check my TV Guide to see if there's a rerun so I can catch the beginning ROFL. Seriously, it's so mindlessly entertaining XD Haha... oh crap why am I actually talking about this movie and not translating the latest Takiren? Let me get to it right now... I think I can be officially crowned as the laziest Takki fan on earth now ==33

God, rewatching the first half of Spiderman 3 was a total DRAG!!!! I keep wishing I had a remote so I can just FAST FORWARD through the first half that I've seen already before I walked out of the theatre due to that multiple projector-jam fiasco on May 2!!! While I'm actually a person who LOVES watching movies multiple times, but sorry, Spidey... it was already a huge big drag just getting through the first half FOR THE SECOND TIME. Seriously, I won't be able to go through another sitting unless it's a FFWD-able DVD! XD Although, whenever I think of James Franco I'm kinda TEMPTED to go for another viewing at the cinema while taking multiple toilet breaks in the non-Harry Osborn scenes because

GOD, HARRY OSBORN IS SUCH A DREAMBOAT

I'm so sorry but YES, you are soooo witnessing another one of my uragiri episodes ==33 OMG like I have such a huge big hopeless crush on Harry Osborn now Clark who? Dean who? Logan who???

HAAAARRRYYYYY!!!!!!

I'm sooooo deeeeaaaad *_*

Warning: Spoilers beyond the click!

Wow, I've been running around here and there I didn't even have time to sit down and biiiiiiitch about my Spiderman fiasco on May 2. There goes being one of the first people among my friends to watch Spiderman 3 because I ended up watching ONLY HALF of the movie. Grrr. Maybe it's a good thing I didn't get to biiiiiitch about this yesterday because it wouldn't have came out pretty, and most probably full of obscene words. Now that I'm calmer, I'll probably just use lesser obscene words? XD

Just in case there are, again, people who take things too literally, the title is just a form of speech, K?

Remind me again to THOROUGHLY RESEARCH a movie before going to see it, because whoa, this was totally unexpected! Basically, I've been wanting to see this movie ever since I read an article about it in a magazine, and there was only ONE reason I was intrigued to watch it:

Hiroyuki Sanada.

Like, WTF is Hiroyuki Sanada doing in an American SCI-FI movie about astronauts saving the sun? So then few days ago I found out that Ami was also interested in watching this movie for the exact same reason.

HIROYUKI SANADA.

And you know what sucks the most?
