week-old news i dunno why i even bother to post but still i do
:: MOVIES ::
i marveled at how a trailer like Steven Soderbergh's Bubble, would be able to do the trick of promoting the film? - becoz tis essentially a series of production stills in a montage, set to Danny-Elfman-ish carnival maniac-happy-music and nary shows any footage of the film .... but i reckon it's worked enuff for me to be interested anyways *hah* (not least the synopsis, which seemed hohum anyways) ... but evidently, Soderbergh has other matters to worry about ...
Bollywood has remade ChanWook Park's OldBoy and named it Zinda. Kaijushakedown's review of it gives me a shudder down to me toes, altho i doubt we would be able to view this flick in singapore anyways ... and maybe that's a good thing? (but then again, they loved Chen Kaige's The Promise, so i won't hold me breath, innit? *HAH*)
a truckload of behind-the-scenes images from the upcoming Bryan Singer-helmed; Superman Returns, to add to your collection!
one of me fav japanese directors; Shinya Tsukamoto has a new film coming out, titled; HAZE! apparently this is his first full-digital-feature (a short one at that, going at 49mins only) and after his masterwork (IMHO) that was Vital in '04, i seriously cannot wait for this one to happen and soon!
the tag: "A man wakes up to find himself locked in a tiny, cramped concrete room, in which he can barely move. Why is he there and where did he come from? All we know is that he has a terrible stomach injury and is slowly bleeding to death. He begins to explore the narrow confines of his prison and crawls around the maze-like room, only to see a horrible vision of hell waiting for him at each end of the room."

a new Muttpop vinyl figure is being developed now, and ya can see the process of El Panda down @ Vinyl Pulse (ala their Tequila-feature) ... personally, somehow thecommie panda-masked figure is quite enduring somewhat (IMHO) and the belly reminds me of the laughing buddha, which is not a bad thing really! and the current unfinished grey of the sculpt reminds me loads of statued terracotta warriors! *nice*
