what a dream come true

AAAAAANNNNDDD THE YANKEEEESS WIN THE 2009 WORLD SERIES!!!

a simple opinon (after Idol announcement)

I really have to be super calm in writing this blog, 'cos I'm a big Adam Lambert's supporter...

You know, watching all those boring performances from the guest stars was such a torture. Although David Cook, Kiss and Queen were quite cool (hmm.. the last two were with Adam), and that Steve Martin was surprisingly very talented!

Until, the moment that you've been waiting for...I KNEW IT!! I had a feeling about it.

Well, here's the case. It's not that I'm not accepting the fact (well, I'm not actually), but it would be much nicer if Adam loses from Danny Gokey. I mean, Gokey is not a brilliant artist, but he's a good singer, much better than Kris Allen. Come on!

Adam Lambert, as we could all witness, had delivered original ideas for his performances. I've never seen a contestant like that in American Idol history. David Cook? Well, yeah, he's good, but he's not that iconic.

But Kris Allen?? Come on! Get real! He's a good singer, but not that good to be the Idol. His performances were forgettable, maybe accept for Ain't No Sunshine and Heartless. But still..

When Gokey was eliminated a week before, my guts was telling me that most of his fans would migrate to Kris. So Kris would have 'Hey, I don't like Adam Lambert then I'm gonna choose the other guy' vote ?? It's kinda sad, really...

What then? Was it because Adam's high pitch? Really? I don't think it's a major problem for many people. Nope, that's not the reason. Or... was it because of the gay thing? Or even more, the cross dresser thing?? the controversial picture?? If that's the problem.. Whoa! We're not in 1930's here, people. Helloooooww..!

Yea well, I always believe a true talent has its own way. Adam has been heard, so he'll find his way to success.

PS: Btw, I've never ever believe of a pure vote. Sorry, conspiracies rule the world. so, I feel kinda sorry for Kris.

Robbie in Little Britain

March 2009

Former Take That star Robbie Williams is to appear as a little girl in a Red Nose Day special Little Britain sketch.

"It's hard to say no when asked to take part in a Little Britain sketch for Comic Relief," said Williams. "But I have to admit that dressing up as a small American child in a pretty dress made it all the more appealing."

Williams plays Candy Marie-Candy, friend of Ellie Grace played by openly gay Little Britain star Matt Lucas. David Walliams plays Ellie's mum. Williams said: "Robbie was absolutely brilliant in the Ellie Grace sketch. He could be a comedian full-time if he wanted to. "And we have found that the best way to tempt him back into the spotlight is by putting him in a dress!"

The sketches will air on Red Nose Day, the telethon fund-raiser for charity Comic Relief, this Friday on BBC One.

my most unforgettable moments in American Idol

I love this show!

Saya orangnya pelupa, jadi kalau ada moment American Idol yang masih terpatri di kepala saya, itu berarti benar-benar mengesankan! So far, these are my most unforgettable moments in American Idol:

Adam Lambert's Ring of Fire (2009) - (link)

Dari awal hingga hampir selesai saya ternganga. Arrangement lagunya sangat cerdas. Dengan sentuhan musik ala Timur Tengah, Adam berhasil mengubah sebuah lagu country (yang dipopulerkan oleh Johnny Cash) menjadi sebuah lagu yang terdengar unik dan megah di telinga saya. Dengan tehnik vokal dan stage performance yang pas dan bisa saya nilai sedikit sexy, Adam mampu membuat sebagian juri terpana. Tadinya saya berpikir, seperti apa ya, kalau saya dengar lagu ini tanpa nonton videonya? Ternyata… Excellent! Terlebih lagi yang studio version.

Other Fact:

Bagi yang belum pernah dengar Ring of Fire versi asli (Johnny Cash), please deh denger dulu. Adam Lambert ‘s arrangement to this song is totally unique, even a lot better than David Cook’s Hello or Always Be My Baby. Sorry guys.. Oya, I had a feeling Adam's not just gay, it turned out to be he's also a cross dress, but so what?! He has the smartest vocal technique this season.

David Cook's Billie Jean (2008) - (link)
Pertama saya belum menyadari lagu apa sih, yang dibawa’in sama si David Cook ini? Kok liriknya familiar banget, tapi iramanya beda. Terkejut beratlah saya ketika masuk ke bagian reff. What??! Billie Jean?? Baru kali ini saya dengar Billie Jean seperti ini, yang ternyata sudah di re-arrange oleh Chris Cornell di tahun 2007. Well, walaupun stage performance masih termasuk biasa saja, tapi bagi saya, vokal David Cook di lagu ini adalah yang paling excellent. Apalagi kalau dengar yang versi studio. Re-arrangement Hello dan Always Be My Baby memang terhitung unik dan mengejutkan, namun bagi saya Billie Jean adalah juaranya.

Other Fact:

Yang paling saya kagumi dari David Cook, selain suara lantangnya, adalah penolakan dia untuk menyanyikan lagu yang sama di ajang American Idol.

Taylor Hicks' Just Once (2005) - (link)

Taylor Hicks adalah satu-satunya kontestan Idol yang ketika disorot kamera sebelum audisi awal di Las Vegas, saya sudah yakin dia akan menang . Banyak performance Taylor yang saya kagumi. Apalagi stage performance-nya yang sangat atraktif. Tapi hanya ada satu yang paling terpatri di kepala dan menusuk ke hati Di minggu Top 6, ketika tema love song, Taylor membawakan salah satu lagu terindah menurut versi saya, Just Once. Memang sedikit pitchy di awal, tapi berhasil tercover dari tengah ke akhir lagu. Well, apa yang membuat saya terkesan? He sang it from the heart, soulful and he’s very handsome in his black suit, :P.

Other Fact:

Hampir seluruh performance Taylor dibenci oleh Simon. Komentar seperti, “This is a singing competition! Not a dance competition!” seringkali terdengar. Well, many-many..many people love him, and Simon had to admit it eventually.

Oya, Taylor Hicks tidak pernah masuk ke dalam 3 terbawah.

Clay Aiken's Bridge Over Troubled Water (2003) - (link)

Performance-nya di tahap final ini membuat saya terpukau karena range vokal-nya yang luar biasa ditambah background choir singers…hmmm…it gave me chills. Vokalnya yang lantang dilengkapi dengan a very confident attitude mampu membuat lagu dari Simon and Garfunkel ini menjadi megah.

Other Fact:

Di audisi awal, Clay ditanya oleh juri, “What are you doing here?” Dengan lantang Clay menjawab, “I can be number one. Or number two”

That’s it!

What??!! No female contestant?? Hmmm… non of them impressed me so far.

Well, how about you?

nice ending of 2008

More good news in the end of the year..

Hugh Jackman will be the next Academy Award 2009 Host. It’ll be held on February 22, 2009. Yeah, baby..!

…and one more…

Enough with the disappointment of the delayed Soloist until next March, Robert Downey Junior is nominated for Best Performance in a Supporting Role in Tropic Thunder for Golden Globe Award 2009. He’s baaaack!

Sexiest Man Alive 2008

He's a triple threat: a star who can sing, dance, and wield a weapon.

At 6 ft. 2 in., all scruff and biceps, Hugh Jackman looms large in the epic "Australia", which he says kept him "dirty 95 percent of the time" and left people stammering, "Oh ... my ... God," according to costar Nicole Kidman, who adds, "Women's jaws drop when Hugh walks into a room."

Jackman's wife of 12 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, calls his perfect form "the Body of Doom -- but I like what's inside": a romantic who sings ballads at home and makes pancakes for Oscar, 8, and Ava, 3. A hard body with a soft center -- 2008's Sexiest Man Alive sat down with PEOPLE to reveal most of his secrets.

One more great news this year. I mean, this is really the best year. I think I could cry!

robbie's other update

British pop singer Robbie Williams is working on a new album, his manager said.

Tim Clark earlier this year was quoted as saying the singer wouldn't deliver a new CD to his record label EMI because he was uncertain how the company's new owners would market the album.

However, Clark has since told the BBC a new CD could be released as early as next year.

It will be Williams' first since "Rudebox" dropped in 2006.

"I would certainly hope that a new album will be coming next year. There are never any guarantees but that's what we would hope," Clark told the BBC. "He's been writing and we heard some wonderful stuff. I was with Robbie last week. He was at home and he was writing songs and he played some of them to us. He's in very fine spirits, in very fine form and I think what he's doing sounds really wonderful."

This is like the best news I heard all year long!! (well, besides the the Downey news..)

robbie's update

33-year-old, Robbie Williams, has admitted himself in to a US rehab clinic. A brief statement was released reporting that, "Robbie Williams has...been admitted into a treatment centre in America for his dependency on prescription drugs."

The singer of such hits as Angels, Rudebox and Come Undone has reportedley developed an addiction to anti-depressants since giving up drinking and cocaine over five years ago.

Wow! He really needs to go back to sing and perform and entertain! 'Cos I think that's what his soul is fulfilled with.. get well, rob!

It's a testament to Iron Man's success that Holmes is not being played by somebody like Daniel Radcliffe or Shia LaBeouf or even Michael Cera (although Jonah Hill would have made a pretty good Watson). When director Guy Ritchie first came aboard, right after finishing RocknRolla, he was thinking of a much younger Holmes. ''Guy wanted to do more of an origin story, which would have made me age-inappropriate,'' says Downey. But Iron Man's box office demonstrated with inescapable Holmesian logic that a middle-aged movie star could indeed fill theater seats. Well, this middle-aged one anyway.

Not that there won't be plenty of other reasons to see Sherlock Holmes when it opens in November 2009 — Jude Law's turn as Dr. Watson, Rachel McAdams as Holmes' feisty love interest — but Downey will undoubtedly be the main draw for most moviegoers. It's an even safer bet that they'll line up for Iron Man 2, which the actor starts shooting this March for an April 2010 release. After that, he'll play Stark again, this time in The Avengers, a synergistic superhero ensemble project Marvel Comics has in the pipeline for summer 2011. At one point, Downey was even thinking of squeezing in a memoir — ''I banged out a couple of things, which I found cathartic'' — but ultimately he decided not to go there, or anywhere else that might be deemed self-indulgent. ''Beware the passion project,'' he says, talking about the peculiar movies stars often make when they get a little clout. ''It's so predictable: 'Now that I have a hit, I can tell that story about the transsexual horse whisperer!'''

At the rate he's racking them up, Downey could probably get away with a transsexual-horse-whisperer trilogy. Just now, though, he's got his hands full with Mr. Holmes. ''We still haven't figured out what sort of hat he should wear,'' he says. ''Guy Ritchie was hell-bent on me wearing a bowler, but it was more Chaplin than Sherlock Holmes.'' Downey is still teasing out the character, feeling for his shape, and perfecting the accent. ''There's a lot of pressure because of the kudos I got for my voice in Tropic Thunder,'' he says (indeed, there's even talk of a possible long-shot Oscar nomination for his supporting role). He also had to whip himself into shape for the part — Holmes needed to be ripped and buff for today's topless boxing exhibition — while keeping up with his regular holistic regimen of natural tonics and potions. Even here, on the set of Sherlock Holmes, he manages a constant dosage. An assistant holding a black box full of bottles and baggies is always hovering nearby, like a Secret Service agent with the nuclear-code briefcase.

''Oh, they work,'' Downey insists, popping another supplement. ''They definitely work. I'm alive, aren't I? What more proof could you want?''

Downey, though, saw Tropic Thunder as a blissful getaway. ''Ben Stiller saved me from the ghastly fate of a crash after shooting Iron Man,'' he says. ''The waiting around, the expectations, the not knowing how it was going to come out.'' There were other distractions as well. While shooting in Hawaii, Downey got a visit from British filmmaker Joe Wright, who pitched him the part of Steve Lopez, the newspaper columnist who tries to help a homeless Juilliard dropout. ''Joe shows up in Kauai, in the middle of the jungle, wearing a trilby hat,'' Downey recalls, ''and he tells me this story about friendship and faith. All of a sudden I start feeling all my old theater heartstrings being pulled. Before Joe left the island, I knew I'd be doing The Soloist.'' Downey started work on the film in early 2008, after he returned from making Tropic Thunderin Hawaii.

As it turned out, Downey didn't have to worry about Iron Man at all. Its $98.6 million May 2 opening weekend made it the biggest superhero franchise launch since Spider-Man. Downey grins when he remembers the night his numbers came in. ''It's Friday evening, and we're all in a side room at a restaurant in Santa Monica,'' he says. ''And every few minutes the estimates go up. 'The estimate is now 77! The estimate is now 87! The estimate is now 100!' And I'm going crazy because I've had 25 Cokes and three cappuccinos. I'm like, 'Come on, give me another lucky seven! Give me money!''' The euphoria didn't end there. ''About 10 days later, Jon Favreau and I were invited to this dinner with [Paramount CEO] Brad Grey and all these assorted heavyweights,'' Downey continues. ''Jon and I give each other a look, like we were made men or something. Iron Man hadput us in the game.''

IT'S A NIPPY SUNDAY morning at an old shipyard-turned-museum about an hour outside London. An ancient torch-lit tavern has been outfitted with a 19th-century boxing ring, where Downey has been shooting a scene in which he shows off Sherlock Holmes' pugilistic expertise. Judging from the footage playing on the monitor — the shirtless star trading slo-mo blows with a hulking brute twice his size — Downey's version of the detective won't be spending much time puffing a pipe or examining stuff with a magnifying glass. No, this Sherlock has kung fu moves. ''In Arthur Conan Doyle's stories, there are references to the fact that Holmes practiced martial arts,'' notes Downey, wincing while watching the action on the monitor. ''In the books, there's a physical side to the character. So we're just extrapolating from the original material.''

Sitting down for a conversation with Downey is a little like that scene in Iron Man when Tony Stark slips into his jet-powered boots for the first time. It zooms wildly all over the place, veering from a discussion about whether he should have grown a mustache for Sherlock HolmesIron Man comic books (''If you ask me, Tony Stark looked like Schneider from One Day at a Time''). It can be a bumpy, if thrilling, ride. (''I tried, but everyone thought I looked like Super Mario'') to his first impressions of the Iron Man comic books (''If you ask me, Tony Stark looked like Schneider from One Day at a Time''). It can be a bumpy, if thrilling, ride.

When the talk lands on his career, he reveals that he had hoped for an earlier comeback, with Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, a savvy, twisty 2005 crime caper costarring Val Kilmer that never found an audience. ''It was going to be my coming-out party, my emergence into 21st-century cinema,'' Downey says, laughing. ''When it tanked, I was heartbroken.'' On the bright side, it did get noticed by director Jon Favreau, who happened to be looking for an actor to play a certain weapons-manufacturing magnate with a thing for Black Sabbath. Downey wanted Iron Man so badly he spent three weeks compulsively rehearsing every conceivable line reading for his audition. ''I had amendments and ancillaries and pop-ups for every part of the scene — if it went off in one direction I could add A, B, or C. It was madness,'' he says, ''but also the most positively reinforced ritual I've ever performed. If Aleister Crowley had a younger brother — it was that type of s---.''

Nabbing the part of the heavy metal fellow was only the beginning of Downey's karmic turnaround. Just before he started shooting Iron Man in March 2007, Stiller — who says he was looking for a ''real actor'' for the part, not a ''comedy guy'' — offered him the role in Tropic Thunder of Kirk Lazarus, an Australian Method actor who undergoes pigment alteration so that he can play an African-American soldier in a big Hollywood blockbuster about Vietnam (''I'm the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude,'' Downey says, quoting a line from the film). The part was so loopy and potentially tasteless — blackface remains the third rail of American comedy — he couldn't resist; he flew to Hawaii to start shooting it in July 2007, two weeks after finishing production on Iron Man. ''It took a lot of courage,'' Stiller says of Downey's dedication to the role. ''I mean, think about it. He had to come to the set every day in full black makeup and play this over-the-top character. Most of the crew hadn't read the script. Nobody knew what was going on. And here comes this white guy in blackface doing the Jeffersons theme song.''

Let's just say the '90s weren't Robert Downey Jr.'s decade. He drove naked down Sunset Boulevard, throwing imaginary rats out his car window. He got arrested for trespassing when he mistakenly wandered into a neighbor's house and passed out in the kid's bedroom. He served nearly a year in a California state prison for drug possession, and then did eight months on Ally McBeal, until he got booted from the show after he got busted a couple more times, once in a hotel room in Palm Springs with cocaine and a Wonder Woman costume.

Yet here he is today, on this drizzly October afternoon, padding around a Mayfair mansion so fancy it's got a swimming pool — no joke — in the kitchen. ''Nice, huh?'' Downey says, pausing at the architectural oddity during a tour of his digs. ''I could put a couple of folding cots in here and I'd be all set. That's all I'd need. I could live in the kitchen.'' He's lived in worse. But since court-ordered drug treatment in 2001 — and his marriage to producer Susan Levin in 2005 — Downey has kept ''the bad dog,'' as he refers to his darker side, on a short leash. ''It's not about placating the bad dog — it's about feeding the good dog,'' he says of the struggle. ''You still have to feed the bad dog, but only enough so that the ASPCA doesn't bring you up on charges.''

These days, Downey's drug use is limited to nicotine, along with the brain boosters and other macrobiotic concoctions cluttering his coffee table. But you can still see Downey unleash all his canine energy — not to mention puppy-dog charm — on the screen, even when playing the sorts of roles that don't normally require more from an actor than looking fine in a crime-fighting costume. ''Why did people go see Iron Man?'' asks Downey's Soloist costar Jamie Foxx. ''They went to see Iron Man because Robert Downey Jr. was in it. That's why I went. I saw it at a screening in Beverly Hills. I was sitting next to Warren Beatty, and Warren leaned over and said, 'I've known Downey since he was a kid.' People in this town are really rooting for this guy. Not just because they like him, but because he's great as an actor.''

There are enough organic potions and natural remedies on Robert Downey Jr.'s coffee table to stock an aisle at Whole Foods. Shriveled, rooty-looking things in Ziploc bags. Jars filled with herbal pills as big as bullets. He's sitting cross-legged on the floor next to all of these unusual items in the living room of the London townhouse he's been renting while shooting his latest movie, an elementary detective story called Sherlock Holmes. It's 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but with his hair in full bedhead bloom, Downey looks like he could use a pick-me-up. He reaches for a bottle and shakes a dozen gelcaps into his palm, then stuffs them into his mouth. ''Brain formula,'' he mumbles as he gulps them down.

They must be working. This year, thanks to a series of clever choices, Downey has pulled off one of the smartest second acts in recent showbiz history. After doing just about everything humanly possible to destroy a once-promising career — including spending the better part of a decade in courtrooms and even jail cells — he's finally fulfilling his potential. He's become a movie star. At 43. For starters, he's at the red-hot center of a humongous new action franchise, Iron Man, which has grossed more than half a billion dollars worldwide since opening last May. He followed that in August by doing something few actors have dared since Jolson — blackface — in the Ben Stiller comedy Tropic Thunder, which grossed $110 million. Next spring, he'll be costarring with Jamie Foxx in The Soloist, Atonement director Joe Wright's drama about a journalist who befriends a homeless musical genius he finds pushing a shopping cart around L.A. (Downey's performance was starting to generate Oscar buzz — the most since his nomination for Chaplin in 1993 — but then The Soloist was moved from its November release date to next April.) And now, here in London, there's Warner Bros.' latest franchise launch Sherlock Holmes Guy getting divorced from Madonna — which Downey just started shooting two weeks ago. — directed by that

''Why am I having this year?'' he ponders, chasing down the formula with a swig of mineral water. ''To tell you the truth, I haven't fully digested what's happened to me before, during, and after Iron Man. Tropic Thunder seems like it happened 25 minutes ago. Time is not entirely linear. It's all so associative. If Ben Stiller called me today and said we needed to shoot more scenes, I'd get my jacket and go. But I do know that I don't want to waste any more time. That's why I'm putting my nose to the grindstone. That's why I'm cranking them out.''

British pop star ROBBIE WILLIAMS is "gutted" after a bad knee forced him to pull out of his own charity football match.The former Take That singer organised Soccer Aid 2008 in aid of Unicef and drafted in World Cup players and celebrities including Jesse Metcalfe for the game. And Williams is devastated that he won't be able to participate in the event.

He says, "Being able to help so many people through Soccer Aid was one of the true highlights of my life. I'm gutted that this time round my knee isn't up to it so unfortunately I'm out of the game. But I hope that everyone involved has the time of their life like I did, raises loads of money for Unicef and that the best side wins."

The match will take place on 7 September (08) at London's Wembley Stadium. (Source: ContactMusic)

*Haha!! My dream is starting to come true...!

Robbie Williams: Live in Berlin

After all this time I’ve been looking everywhere for this.

At last! Robbie Williams: Live in Berlin DVD!

“and I’ve been seing, somebody’s wife. She said she’d leave him for me, and I said that wasn’t wise. You can’t lie to a liar because of all lies”

-Make Me Pure-

Such a bad-ass punk! My bad-ass punk..

...and the answer is..TRUE!

Tadi malam baru tayang premier di Star World…

THE MOMENT OF TRUTH. Kuis yang bikin saya cukup penasaran nungguinnya. Awalnya saya tertipu. Di keterangan jadwal Indovision tertera kalau host-nya adalah Mark Wahlberg. Saya udah bertanya-tanya aja, beneran gak sih? Dan ternyata, Mark L. Walberg! Dengan ‘L’ dan tanpa ‘H’. Duh, ampun deh..!!

Sebelum acara, peserta dites terlebih dahulu dengan Polygraph atau alat tes pendeteksi kebohongan. Barulah ketika acara, peserta dibombardir dengan pertanyaan yang sama ketika tes, yang kemudian akan dikonfirmasi kebenarannya berdasarkan hasil tes tadi.

Simple answers required, only YES or NO. But, turns out to be, not as simple as that.

Ternyata, peserta didampingi oleh orang-orang tedekatnya. Keluarga, teman, bos, or whoever. Itu yang jadi bikin mikir dua kali buat jawab jujur. Pertanyaannya juga menurut saya hebat-hebat, simple tapi vital, resiko tinggi! Mereka diberi kesempatan untuk menolak mendengarkan jawabannya. Tapi hanya satu kali kesempatan, yang mana pertanyaan selanjutnya bisa jadi lebih parah. Pokoknya serba salah deh, jujur salah gak jujur apalagi..!

I enjoyed the quiz very much last night. So dramatic! Ngeliat gimana expresi wajah istri or pacar or sahabat si peserta. Walaupun gak didukung sama skill si pembawa acara, yang kurang menarik perhatian, too stiff!! Agak boring. Kaya’nya mendingan Mark Wahlberg beneran deh..

Lucunya, saya bisa menarik satu pelajaran, yang standar abis tapi cukup menggugah, dari acara ini. Jujur, dan gak perlu ada rahasia ke orang-orang yang dekat dengan kita. Hmmm.. that’s tough! Jadi bertanya-tanya sendiri dalam hati, kalau saya, berani gak ya ikutan kuiz kaya’ begitu? Duit sih duit, tapi resiko cukup mengerikan, man! Selain harus berani mengemban rasa malu, juga ribut sama keluarga, sahabat, pacar, istri or suami. Parah-parahnya, putus deh tali silaturahmi.

But sometimes, people would do anything for money. Bahkan harga diri juga bakal di obral abis-abisan sepertinya… hhh, people nowadays.

my all-time couples

Saya tergelitik sama pembahasan kemarin di milis Cinemagsforum. Dari awalnya ngomongin film Wanted sampai akhirnya ‘nyerempet’ ke infotainment Hollywood.

Yup! Wanted. Film yang bikin penasaran banyak moviegoers, termasuk saya. Tapi karena satu hal, saya sama sekali gak berminat untuk nonton, well, at least not in theatre, karena bagi saya personally, akan waste of money. Karena apa??? Karena she-devil is there. I don’t hate her. I just dislike her.

Pembicaraan jadi mengarah ke kenapa she-devil (sori, saya emang gak rela namanya tertera di any post of my blog) dibilang sexy? There’s no sexy about her. Wrong attitude, man! Such an interrupted woman. Saya termasuk yang against dia. Karena bagi saya, Pitt dan Anniston is still the best couple. Stupid Pitt anyway!

Seorang teman sempat bertanya, siapa pasangan seleb favorit saya selain mereka. Well, here they are:

Ross & Rachel (Ross’ love of a lifetime, so sweet)
Big & Carrie (Nobody’s perfect, but they’re perfect for each other)
Chandler & Monica (Chandler’s love and acceptance amaze me)
Warren Beatty & Annette Benning (all-time playboy now is under her skin! That’s incredible)
Sophan Sophiaan (alm) & Widyowati ('til death do them part, literally)
Bruce Willis & Demi Moore (I don’t even care about Kutcher now)

There you go..

Greatest Comedian of All Time

Kemarin, saya coba nonton film pesenan saya dari Perdana Disc ini. Tapi saya gak terlalu bisa menikmatinya without the English subtitle. Those British accent, too British if I may say. I had to use my headphone to capture every detail conversation. But still.. It’s just too hard.

Chaplin. A biographical film produced in 1992. Starring Robert Downey Jr.

Film ini adalah satu dari beberapa film yang saya kepengen banget punya dvd-nya. Not only because of Downey, but I’m also a fan of Charlie Chaplin. Dulu RCTI pernah rutin menayangkan film-film Chaplin, dan saya suka banget nonton beliau ini. I was a kid, and I love him. Well, I also love Jerry Lewis and the other slapstick kings, Larry, Moe and Curly as the Three Stooges. But Chaplin, he’s the master, a genius. A young Englishman who successfully became one of the greatest comedian in the world before 30. He is a unique personality, a perfectionist. And those talent… it’s just awesome.

And I have to say, Robert Downey Jr is also a genius. His Chaplin acts, made me laugh hard. So smart, so funny. His ability in pronouncing Brit accent, it’s kinda perfect. No wonder he was nominated for The Oscar.

I miss all those Chaplin’s acts..

-this black n white color is to honor Charles Chaplin himself-
