Iron Man 3: mass production

 

 

So you ask my thoughts on the matter?

 

I'm probably not the best person to ask, as I haven't seen the second one. 

 

But lemme put it this way. What I look for and what I give IronMan 3

 

Cinematography- ★

Script - ★★★★ (witty, scored laugh out loud moments)

Plot - ★1/2  (predicatable.. so ..this fails in my books)

Visual Effects - ★★★★

Casting - ★★★★★ (believable roles and characters, although there was very little depth, ironic ...considering the lengthy movie)

Editing - ★★★ (smooth , seemless, nothing spectacular)

Sound - ★★★

In sum - ★★

 

Sorry folks, I'm not a fan of the Iron Man . But going off just the plot, there was nothing new, nothing mind bending in terms of twists and story layers. Found myself asking half way. ..wow not much has happened , this is boring, when will the climax come because there is no build up. 

Dissappointed. Dunno why the cinema clapped afterwards >.>

p.s. Stan Lee could have got a better 2 seconds of screen time too =.- 

on the side_

pursuit of happiness?

The Age article presenting Melb Uni findings is kinda funny.
...attempt to scientifically find what makes people more so happy..

creativity makes us happy and supports wellbeing.

"...The piano seems to be one. For those who can play, tickling the ivories magically transports them from the grind of daily life to a happier, safer and simpler place. You can see it on their faces.

For others, bashing the keys with what amounts to more gusto than ability — and creating a noise that could be used as a fire alarm in a piano bar — can crush one’s soul"

But for some reason I don't think asian parents got it right lol. =P

from different comic, different times  

ahh a to watch list.

all pic and text sourced from THR =P

"CZ12" (Jackie Chan, 2012)
made $141 million China

At the same time that 58-year-old Jackie Chan scored the biggest box office hit of his career, he made one gaffe after another in the press, from publicly advocating curbs on civil rights in Hong Kong, to dissing his career-making Rush Hour films (calling them the movies he "most dislikes"),  to suggesting that the U.S. is “the biggest corrupted country in the world” (sic).

"Lost in Thailand" (Xu Zheng, 2012),
made $202.1 million in China, that's MORE than Michael Bay's transformers!!
impressive!!!

Actor-turned director Xu Zheng’s comedy, about the misadventures of three Chinese men in Thailand, is not just the highest-grossing Chinese-language film ever – it’s probably the most profitable by a wide margin (the film was reportedly made for just $4.8 million). Thanks to the huge earnings of the film, producer Enlight Media is now the second biggest domestic studio player by revenue in the Chinese market, behind only Huayi Brothers.

Beautiful Creatures (2013)

because I haven't seen a witchcraft centred movie since Harry Pothead.
warning, probably ain't any good lol THR bottom line "Well-made hokum about ill-advised teen love across a species divide"

gosh don't you just hate headaches

‘Leap of Faith: Circus in Motion’

*pic source*

Final year students from NICA take a ‘Leap of Faith’, showcasing their efforts, training and finesse, inviting you to enjoy, critique and awe at their contemporary circus offer. This is one circus you cannot simply just sit back and spectate. You are visually and constantly demanded to put aside what gravity and physics dictates as possible for the human body and instead be immersed into a world of dance, disbelief and danger.

Artistic Director Matthew Jessner, whose most recognizable work is that of Cirque du Soleil, is no foreigner to delivering an engaging theatrical performance. As you walk in to take a seat, an overly cheery cleaner sweeps up and down the stairs, giving you that odd wink that they will be back. However before you can discern how their comedic role or relief will unfold, the audience instinctively quiets down as their eyes are cast onto mysterious triangular ascending nets. Without any spoken words, Jessner directs the audience, arousing their curiosity as to what can be its contents. One this is for sure though, the nets are unmistakably moving, breathing, alive.

The show has started.

Throughout the night there is clever and strategic use of space, video art, lighting and sound. Projected visuals and backdrops create the illusion of pulling you physically into the stage; whilst deliberate soundscapes from water droplets to children’s laugher to hyperactive rhythms trigger strong emotive responses ranging tranquility to adrenaline rushes. Furthermore, the combination of it all immerses you deeper still into the magical realm of circus.

As the performers 24 in number each present their craft, there is an induced sense of fear in the viewer as you take that leap of faith, trusting there will be a non-blood-splattering delivery despite many feats being suspended five meters and more above the ground. It is everything you can imagine about circus and more – hoops, balance, dance, ropes, trapeze, juggling, poles, acrobatics, mime to free fall. Jesser has set out and achieved his claim that the show is all about the  “…instinctive moment when it all has to converge and manifest as theatrical action”. If ‘Leap of Faith’ does not leave you walking out gobsmacked which a contagious spring in your step, I don’t know what else would.

The bottom line - Elite Elegance; Exceeds Expectations.

i live in so many alternative and multiple universes in my head,
 it is not funny. 

*source*

since 1998 that critical event in childhood of being ripped from friends, relocation, social isolation, no such thing as internet, has caused my brain to consistently  ask the question "what if 'x' happened, what will that result in" and "if 'x' didn't happen, what will be the result".

- planning
- calculative
- observant 
- profiling 

So you can imagine the INFINITE possibilities of conversations turns, people met, active food choice, exercise choice, uni course choice, travel choice, and ALL the deviations life can take....

could make your mind explode.

not mine.

oddly enough.

whilst that is all running, equivalent to say 100 dvds playing at the same time.I still manage to be so easily satisfied, and enjoy the simple things. treasures it. 

happy go lucky
