George Lucas announces two more Star Wars movies

Uncategorized

We absolutely knew that George Lucas was not done with the Star Wars universe. The Star Wars creator revealed to Fox News that he will make two more live-action Star Wars films.

No, I didn’t type the above, but it’s definately good news for Star Wars fans. I don’t really consider myself a huge fan but it does have an interesting picture of what would probably occur in a very distant future. And I like the fact that George Lucas didn’t spend a lot of money (comparatively) making those Star Wars films. I always found the amount of money most films spent ridiculous.

Conan O’Brien goes to Industrial Light and Magic

Uncategorized

A late night look at George Lucas’ Industrial Light & Magic!

Yeah, I am aware this is not the first Conan video today. I just love watching his show! Pity he’s not in Singapore, perhaps MediaCorp Singapore can import it or something?

Star Wars character quiz

Uncategorized

Saw this at Daryl’s blog, a Star Wars quiz. It tries to see which character matches my personality best.

It says I’m Han Solo, I’m not sure how they calculate though. Who are you most like?

more//names

Uncategorized

Damn! Just when I thought Irish Name Generators are the worst, I found the Mexican Name Generator which is full of shit.

Just try it yourself. In fact, I also realize you don’t even have to put your name at all! Just select your gender. For guys, you get Don-something, for women, you get Doña something which is probably true to Mexican names.

And you think that’s the end? Well, I found Japanese Name Generator too. There’s a bunch of others like porn star name, sex name, penis name, boobie name, stripper name, drag queen, hippy chick and dude name generators all here. There’s a - huh - Star Wars Masturbation Method Generator, I don’t see the relevance.

I don’t know how they derive those names. It sure sounds silly.

Okay, every day I’ll go around reading blogs. And every day, I’ll at least find a blog blogging about Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith. So, I will blog about Star Wars too. That is the movie I actually wanted to watch. I drag and drag and in the end, I didn’t get to watch this movie.

Anakin Skywalker makes an attempt to kill Coca Cola's Qoo with his lightsaber. Qoo is sweating as he is worried. Picture from Cheers in Cineleisure, Singapore.

I see a lot of promotions for this film and I got somehow excited over that. Well, in the end, I didn’t get to catch it.

Burger King came out with The BK Galactic Burger - Chicken Galactic Burger and Beef Galactic Burger. May the burgers be with you.

I watched the first 2 episodes and the last 3 episodes. I don’t think I remember much anyway. Now when I think of it, it’s okay that I give this movie a miss despite it’s many promotions.

Next time, I’ll get the DVDs when it’s released. I’ll rent I think. I don’t have that much money to buy the whole set.

And the burger! I saw Burger King’s Galactic Burger. Frankly speaking, it looks stupid. And it doesn’t look nice at all. Look at the stars in the burger. They are made of potatoes I think. Something made me want to try explore the dark side and try the Beef Galactic Burger - the one Darth Vader likes.

Last week, I actually went to Burger King to ask for that burger but the auntie (50 year old lady at the cash register) told me it’s not ready yet and recommended me to try the Whopper Juniors instead. I told her I came special to try Darth Vader’s Beef Galactic Burger.

I won’t be trying the burger too. That’s okay though. No Star Wars movie; no Star Wars burger. That’s alright, I’ll live with it. At least I tried the Star Wars M&M’s(r).

light//side

Uncategorized

We often regard charities as good things to do. I have no objection in the people following the light side (idea stolen from Star Wars). Many time, I feel encouraged that Singaporeans cared much for their neighbors when I read articles in The New Paper which - by the way - I only read when I am really really bored; I don’t like The New Paper.

Sometimes while embracing the light side, the non-profitable organization (Jedi Council) in Singapore may go overboard by recruiting too much volunteers (Jedis) from secondary schools - whatever the hell the reason is.

*Seduction to the light side*
A portion of the light side is seemingly more beautiful than the rest. I recalled my secondary school friends looking for the prettiest girl to give the donation to. They want to donate money, but they also want to donate to a cute girl.

I have no idea if any of them successfully gotten a girl through this methods but the key here is that the prettiest girl gets the most donations. And of course, while my friends are donating, they chat up with the girl. It’s usually teasings and stuff. Nothing dirty, nothing hurtful.

*Temptation to the light side*
I have discussed this before about an overly-commercialized (at least in my opinion) charity called National Kidney Foundation (Singapore). The light side can be rather tempting. They offer great prizes that you stand a chance of winning if you donate - a condominium, a car, cash prizes, the list is never-ending. My girlfriend got a dollar off at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaves which is great - I love their Ice Blended(R).

Many people would unknowingly succumb to the light side and just pick up the phone and call a donation line and then hope to win some prizes. Charity should not be made to seem rewarding in material sense.

*Obligation to the light side*
This is the bloody reason I blogged this entry so it’s going to be slightly longer than the above 2 sections (disobeying what my English teacher taught me).

All the shops are closed and I was around Singapore Visitors Centre at Orchard in the morning. There are a couple of girls wearing yellow shirts holding a trademark tin cans for donations. I knew it’s a donation box but I don’t have any loose change to give. It’s a 10 dollar note and I wish to keep it. The same situation is at Novena, those people are guarding the exit of the train stations.

Then I left Orchard and went to Bukit Gombak area. Some other girls were there holding metal cans for God-knows-what charity organization. I looked up the skys, pretending not to notice their extra bright yellow T-shirts as they come towards me. I glanced and noticed their bored looks and I know they are persuaded into doing charities. These secondary students aren’t volunteers exactly, of course some would be, but I would say few are. Most are just there because there school forced them to.

Here’s how to game works. You just plant these volunteers everywhere. Everywhere! I returned home and when at Bukit Batok area, they are more of these people around. They’re at the train station, they’re in the park and in the void decks. It becomes somewhat an annoyance when the students, one after another, ask for donations. And at one time, you’ll most probably just surrender and think, “Okay, fine, I’ll donate to get a sticker flag with the charity logo so they won’t pester me again.” If you did that before, you have fallen into the light side.

But then again, looking at the bright side, at least this ain’t the dark side. Today, I successful strengthen myself to counter the seducations, temptations and obligations to the tin-can-people. And I still don’t know what charity is that.
