1. Advertising people, when trying to sound grand, call TV adverts 'films', as if to glorify what is essentially 30 to 90 seconds of persuassion. Feels incredibly pretentious. Like calling a song you wrote a 'composition'. Please, call a spade a spade.
2. Whilst I firmly believe making a movie with very little money and a lot of determination is a nice hook to spin a news story (and most of the newspapers and magazines coming to the press/preview screening would probably agree), a certain TV company feels it's bad publicity to tell people your movie budget was RM$10,000 where RM$8,000 was spent on the camera. I think it's bad publicity to tell people you spent RM$1.5 million on badly dubbed, poorly cinematographed, horrendously written trite (which accounts for about 87.283% of the film output of Malaysia (probably)).
3. The suits here are still idiots beyond comprehension: "I know it'll take two days to do, but I need it in half an hour! Pleeease...?" (this was, obviously, followed by the response "NO".)
4. I still have a thing for ass. And I still don't know why. Tits are a dime a dozen, but a peach of an ass... goddamn.
5. Working at Paul's Place without air-conditioning leaves you smelling like a construction worker (don't worry, it'll be on during the screening).
6. To quote the Pumpkins, "time is never time at all".
7. No matter what, no matter how, I can't get wireless internet at 1 Utama. Everyone else can and I envy them. I will be forever relegated to the Starbucks at Damansara Heights.
8. Whenever I have nothing to do, no-one gives me any work.When I have things to do, EVERYONE has something else for me to do too. It's getting on my fucking nerves. Leaving late when I need to leave early and leaving early when I don't necesarrily need to. If I don't arrive at my own screening tomorrow on time I'm not coming in to work on Thursday and that's that.
9. Keira Knightley is drop-dead sexy in 'Domino'. Yes, the plots a bit weird but I loved the movie and it's all down to her (with Tony Scott's fucked up visuals coming in a close second). Could've done with more of a lapdance scene though, but WOW. Feisty.
10. Taxi drivers are bastards. Last Saturday a taxi driver on the lane to my right of me near KLCC kept getting really close to me, trying to overtake me even though it's a red light in front. I stop the car at the red light, he swerves behind me, cuts around in front of me and another lane of cars performing an illegal u-turn whilst other cars are going in the other direction whilst, I shit you not, giving me the finger with mucho gusto the entire time till he was out of sight, leaving me wondering what I did to the fucker.
