Death Note


for those who are bored with life... Death Note the movie...

I seriously think the lead who plays Kira is so ugly and old and uncool, ain't any bit like the young good looking and charming Kira in the manga. he's a reason why the movie loses about half of its appeal. okay i'm being over critical here but yeah, you get the drift =)

anyway, average looking cast aside, Death Note is pretty ... boring hahaha. yeah there're adaptations different from the comic drawings that make it kind of a twist at times. but i found the show a little bit disappointing =( i suppose it's cuz i got to read the manga, which is so thrilling and packed with intense emotions and climatic intervals... the 2-hour movie couldn't depict the same sense... that's when the adaptations come in... hmm...

but yeah, i'm still eager to catch the 2nd half of Death Note in Dec =) hope i'd be in S'pore when it's released =) hahaha i think i spend a lot of money on average shows... the kind that make you feel good understanding the bits without having to think too much after lunch =)

i love Death Note the manga =)

by the way, Death Note has this line that kind of makes me think... for those who are bored with life... and i was watching Best of the Best 3 the other day, this show about racism in newly independent America, in which a young guy says "hatred has given me something to live for" when his mom asks him what he's doing with that hate-inducing gang that goes around batter up every black in the place...

i hope i would never have a good reason to speak those lines myself...

oh and i think i know a reason why the new Cathay should be so close to the Cathay Cineleisure... it's in case you take a cab to one of them and the taxi driver takes you to the other, you wouldn't have to waste so much money making the trip back... like what happened to me today o_O okay that's a no brainer opinion =)

anyway... I got to know where to shop for nice and affordable shirts, the kind that your daddies and uncles would love, on Wed. and I got to know where i should get nice pretty and age-sensitive items for mommies and aunties today =)

i reached home early... too tired to go join the gang at Raffles City... i wanna sleep now... good night =)
