ok ok, tak habis lagi

i love the quotes in Watchmen.kesian si boyfriend dia hari hari sejak dulu dengar my rantings about Watchmen. Watchmen this, Watchmen that.haha.

here are some of my favorites.

Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says "But Doctor... I am Pagliacci." - Rorschach

“The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking...the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker.” - Einstein (in one of the comic's episode)

Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster.and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. - Friedrich Wilhem Nietzsche

A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there's no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned? - Jon Osterman

We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings - Jon

If reading this now, whether I am alive or dead, you will know truth. Whatever precise nature of this conspiracy, Adrian Veidt responsible. Have done best to make this legible. Believe it paints disturbing picture. Appreciate your recent support and hope world survives long enough for this to reach you, but tanks are in East Berlin, and writing is on wall - Rorschach

as far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being - C.G Jung

okay from this point on, no more Watchmen topic. :P

kurus dan watchmen (spoilers ahead)

oh i went to watch Watchmen earlier this morning.but i wish there were more.i love the comic.here are what i wish would be in the movie.these are just opinions ok.

1. Laurie should have more hate in her.i mean, well she hated Blake, and Rorschach (in the comic).she had this hate thingy going on. it doesnt really show, in the movie.

2. The guy working at the newspaper vendor, he was never mentioned in the movie. except for the explosion part where he and Bernie (his name is Bernie juga) hugged each other.

3. I know it sounds silly but i like the grafitti on the wall, the two lovers and a nuclear tu.well, tak ada pulak in the movie.

4. Rorschach didnt just slay open that pedophile murderer's head in the comic, but he handcuffed ke ikat that guy's hand and give him a mini saw and asked him to freed himself.and then he burned the house down.i prefer that one.

5. the doctor who assessed Rorschach, i think he deserved a highlight jugak tapi kang panjang sangat pulak movie.in the comic, there's a story about him jugak sikit.

6. the death of Hollis Mason.tiada langsung.patut ada.

7. part Jon (Dr.Manhattan) cakap pasal why he liked Blake, i think it's important, you know the part where he said back in the Nam, Blake perfectly understand what's going on etc etc.

8. ohhh.part springing up Rorschach tu. berbalik kepada Laurie, dia kan tak suka and dia cepat nak agree pula.and kurang impact scene waktu dia deal with the inmates who threaten him tu.the fat guy didnt get his hands sawed off actually.the scene should stick to the original i guess. Rorschach didnt left the prison with his mask on, he went to pick it up his gears dulu at the hiding place.oh i dont like this scene lah in the movie.it should have been way greater.

9. back to Laurie, hmm. didnt her mother forced her to be an adventurer?.and how she hated it and all.not enough hate in the movie.redundant point.aha.

10. how Rorschach got his mask.dude, it should be shown in the movie.

11. Veidt's antarctic retreat.i think it should stick to the original.with the CGI and all, it shouldnt be that hard to create the dome.and Bubastis is blue.i wish she was red.and how Veidt became who he is, it should be explore in depth.eceh.

12. pasal Dan.police kan patutnya look after him once they knew he is Nite Owl and still hop around town in Archie. well, tiada juga in the movie.and how the police came to his house and asked things. tiada.

13. Veidt should have shouted 'I did it' and We did it' during the ending.and then Dr.Manhattan finally said 'Nothing ever ends' and Veidt terpinga-pinga.well, tiada juga in the movie.i think its important.

14. the action scenes, most of them, are quite cheesy with the slow motion thingy going on. it worked for '300' but have to say, its not really working for Watchmen.

15. i would prefer to watch Laurie and Dan making out in the end rather than Dan mourning for the death of Rorschach.i like the part where Laurie said to Dan, well mcm ni 'i want you to love me because we're not dead'. dia kan macam terkejut sebab what happen in New York tu.

ada lagi but dah malas pula.the time limit lah agaknya that set the movie the way it is.but i have to say, the ending is quite okay.instead of alien thingy, they blamed dr.manhattan for the explosion.make sense lah kan.oh and the last part, the one dekat newspaper company tu.Seymour should be more 'loser' and the boss should be more 'garang' and oppressive like the original.it should be introduced earlier instead during the very last scene.but it was good nevertheless.

the portrayal of Rorschach is the most profound of all the characters.its quite true to the original.and Laurie's portrayal is the worse, Sally's portrayal is way better.Dr.Manhattan's portrayal is quite weak as well.

anyhow,i love the soundtrack.the early part je sudah kedengaran suara Dylan and i was excited like a child in a toy store. hell yeah.

a very good try anyway.and i enjoyed it, not as much as reading the comic but yes, its still good.kudos to Zack Snyder.there are still lots of elements which are true to the original. *clap clap*

p/s : these are just opinions ok?

oh marketa irglova




oh, this is one of my favorite songs from the movie Once.haven't watch it yet but i know i'll love it. another favorite is Falling Slowly.here are the lyrics to If You Want Me

Are you really here or am I dreaming
I can't tell dreams from truth
For it's been so long since I have seen you
I can hardly remember your face anymore
When I get really lonely and the distance causes only silence
I think of you smiling with pride in your eyes a lover that sighs

If you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me

Are you really sure that you believe me
When others say I lie
I wonder if you could ever despise me
When you know I really tried
To be a better one to satisfy you for you're everything to me
And I'll do what you ask me
If you let me be free

If you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me

If you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me

p/s : lagu ini tiada kena mengena dengan keadaan hidup ku sekarang.sekadar suka sebab sedap je.ha ha.

i bruise easily.

what a statement.

but lately, i've been getting cuts and bruises from all sorts of mini accidents due to excitement and uhm, clumsiness.

last night,i hit my left hand on the door frame.it hurts.i think i've fractured it.well i think i'm exaggerating.

i think, this time, my physique acted in accordance with my emotion.

i bruise easily lately.

rasa macam perempuan.heh.

when the old is getting older.

there is this one particular pakcik i noticed in section 17.

he looks a lot like my late atuk.i saw him in 2004 i guess.and he's still here.but older.i always caught a glimpse of him while i was in the car.

a few days ago i saw him again.with his shirt and kopiah.but he looked wayyyy older.

i hate watching old people grow older.like my grandma.

one day while i was at my hometown and i was about to head back to Kelana Jaya, i kissed my grandma goodbye and i looked at her.her eyes were tired, her smile seemed distant.her graying hair.i suddenly noticed all the wrinkles all the creases.she looked old.and i hated it.

i remember crying and choking while i was telling this to Ain.

in my perfect utopia, people never grow old and die.
people never leave you.
