Age of Spammers and Scammers

Got three SMS messages in a row.. all scammers! It reads:
"Congratulations, Sim-Card Anda Telah Bertuah Memenangi Hadiah Utama wang tunai RM.30.000,000 dr "PETRONAS Sila/call/tel:006285885783706 pengirim: hotlink"
Fucking bastards. Folks, if you got this message, text back and say "bugger-off you wanker...".
 
Never fall for all this "Congratulations! You are our 99,999th visitor!" scams.
Also, ever received those scam-wall messages in Facebook that says "Forward this to see what happens" ? It's all spam. Nothing will ever happen, but it is simply showing how easy it is for people to get you to do something willingly without wanting to. It is a small step away from "Bank in 100,000 to my account to see what happens.."

Still on this year's Christmas showing - Alien vs Predator 2 - this is what you get during the entire 90 mins of the show:


Ever wonder why the Aliens and Predators chose not to land in Japan? This is why:

Battle of movie characters

What's coming up on the silver screen? Well Alien vs Predator 2 for Christmas! Not a fan of gore, I have never watched a single Alien movie (and only one Predator, the one with Ahnuld Susah-nak-eja). What else? After watching Agent 47 whopping every baddies in Hitman, it does draws a lot of similarity with Jason Bourne.

Someone should do a localized version: Ah Lian vs Pre-Datuk


What if:

Bourne: I have a barcode reader and I am not afraid to use it!

...and this will be interesting...

...because the two characters will spend the entire movie arguing over who is the actual "Choosen One".


Anakin: I AM THE CHOOSEN ONE!
Neo: No no no.. u illiterate dumbass, my name is an anagram for ONE - N.E.O, get it? I AM THE CHOOSEN ONE!
Anakin: I find your lack of faith in numbers.. disturbing...

Harry Portal and the parallelism with Star Wars

With the new and possibly final Harry Potter book released, couldn't help but to revisit my theory that Harry Potter IS a re-worked Star Wars storyline. No offense to J.K.Rowling, in fact I totally dig the books (since Book 1).
 
Also, my Harry Potter 7 speculation, redux:  http://fooshen.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!88B77FF052AECC7C!300.entry
 
But, blimey, after reading the book, both my theories were wrong:
(Warning: spoilers ahead)
----------------------------
1) Voldemort is actually Harry's father (Anakin Skywalker = James Potter, Darth Vader = Darth Voldie)
2) Dumbledore didn't die, but he's using Harry as a puppet to kill off Voldie before killing Harry himself
 
Oh wait.. that was close wasn't it.. Old Dumbledore was actually using Harry....
 

So what's next with the Harry Potter saga ended with book 7? My guess is for J.K.Rowling to write the prequel - the story about Harry's father and Snape and a certain Tom Riddle..

Underwater Guitar

Had an encounter with a rare (relatively to the location) sight last weekend - during my first open water SCUBA dive.
At first all I saw was three frickin big black fins protruding from the sandy bottom, at about 12m depth...with some smaller shark-like fishes swarming above it. While my diving instructor was pointing madly at it, I didn't realize the rarity of the sight until much later.
 
I was still all worked up from the sight of a green turtle much earlier.
 
And upon surfacing:
 
(almost verbatim)
Me: Geez, that's a green turtle we saw back there!
Instructor: Fuck the turtle.. we saw a Guitar Ray on your first fucking dive!
Me (still clueless): Huh? You mean that big shark-like fella with three fins??
 
To top it off, this fella is an endangered species - The Guitar Ray a.k.a. GuitarFish a.k.a. Guitar Shark - http://www.arkive.org/species/GES/fish/Rhynchobatus_djiddensis/
The smaller shark-like fishes circling it were Cobias...which I discovered much later to be my dinner that very same evening - under the guise of "King Fish" on the menu!
 




Some dinner...

Comic movies overload

Over the last couple of years, we have had an overload of comic book heroes coming alive on our silver screens. Thanks to digital effects, it has never been easier to bring these characters to life, hence the recent influx of comic book conversions.

Soon to come: Ironman...

Welcome to the Black Parade

I haven't found an entire album that I really like - since Green Day's American Idiot - until I bought "My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade". Also based on the same concept album that Green Day uses (both produced by Rob Cavallo), but with a much more darker motive. You know you are onto something out of the ordinary when the very first track is titled "The End".

 
The ones that really stands out:
 
The Sharpest Lives - totally wicked
Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
Your kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me ...
 
Famous Last Words
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay you'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(or dead)

Mama (IMHO - their most creative track to date)
Liza: and if you would call me your sweet heart, I'd maybe then sing you a song

Gerard: But the shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun,
You would cry out your eyes all along.

We’re damned after all.
Through fortune and flame we fall.
And if you will say that "I'll show you the way
To return from the ashes you call."

We all carry on
when our brothers in arms are gone
So raise your glass high for tomorrow we die
And return from the ashes you call

and the delightful hidden track, Blood
So give them blood, blood
Gallons of the stuff
Give them all that they can drink and it will never be enough
So give them blood, blood, blood
Grab a glass because there's going to be a flood.
