“you’ll be better off with this abercrombie and fitch crowd. i’m too salvation army for you.”

“if the script is really going to go as written, then we’ll get more lines like that out of deadpan clive owen. because it’s really quite weird when he turns the comedy on - remember the “star” bmw short with madonna? when he starts playing up (”look ma no hands”) i think i’m actually laughing at clive.

“sorry pal, i don’t have time to wait for you to get brain cancer from the electro-magnetic field created by your phone.”

alright, it’s funnier when in the context of the script. but it looks like possible copious amounts of violence and gun play, and it’s a new line film too?!? and paul giamatti as the villain? goddamn, i can’t wait.

(btw, who needs bond anyway? just splint all the bmw films together, and it’s the best film ever, minus all the boring side plots and women.)

the new chimpanzee is out! if you can get your hands on one, it’s a nicer full bleed comic book size (and yes, there are plenty of comic book reviews inside too).

there’s a japanese hip hop special that i wrote (well, only the ones i think are worth listening to, no bling bling please) plus a review of inside man (i would be so happy if we returned to the state of american movies in the 80s when mainstream film was well thought out and done well).

man, these shitty pictures be old. so i picked the least corny one.

from vikki’s blog (of the clothing/publishing/management/artist group silly thing) - grace ip is making a comeback!

while it’s nothing like a suzuki ami situation, she had reportedly been blacklisted by her record company, eeg, after publicly admitting she was in a relationship with songwriter eric kwok. nothing bad about that in itself, but idols in hong kong don’t let their zealous fans on about who they’re dating, since it’s seen to affect popularity and sales (andy lau is over forty now, but has never acknowledged rumoured relationships with actresses or the supposed wife from malaysia). eeg is powerful, nonetheless.

her eeg compatriot, joey yung, started out in the business about the same time, and is now the top female artist in hong kong.
