Until Lyrics

quotes: Robert Downey Jr

Did you have any complaints when it came time to suit up in the armor?

“We took turns complaining. There’s two other guys and I’d come in on the day that he was shooting second unit. And he’d be like laid out in a pool of sweat and still like in half in the suit. He’d just be like [groaning], ‘Dude…’ He’d be like, ‘You’re on tomorrow, right?’ And I’d be like, ‘I’m on, dude. We’re going to do the close-ups and I’ll swing through the thing.’ He goes, ‘Cool!’ We had like a support group. He’d come in the next day, he’d be like, ‘Man, you cool? Can I get you something?’ I was like, ‘Maybe an Advil,’ and then we’d both go visit the third guy.”

HOUSE MD

Teman saya sempat dengan hebohnya mempromosikan serial ini ke saya. Penolakan demi penolakan saya berikan ke teman saya itu. I’ve seen the advertisement in my cable, and I think he’s a jerk, he’s ugly also.

Sampai pada suatu malam, saya belum bisa tidur. Acara-acara di cable gak ada yang menarik (hmmm..sepertinya sama dengan alasan saya nonton Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang), dan hanya House MD yang layak di saksikan. Akhirnya dengan tanpa niat dan agak sedikit bersikap melecehkan, House MD menjadi tontonan saya malam itu.

Oh My God! He is a jerk!! Hmmm…a smart jerk, actually. Wow! A genius?? Why does he always right?

Sepertinya memang menarik…

Saya kuatkan nyali saya untuk meminjam dvd teman saya itu. Dan belagunya, dia hanya tersenyum, tanpa mentertawakan saya seperti biasanya. It’s an ‘I told u so’ smile..damn!!

House season 1, 2, 3 mengalir begitu saja seperti tanpa jeda. Sepertinya suami saya jadi eneg liat saya manteng di depan TV terus.. :p. I’m a bit obsessed, I think. Saya suka banget sama theme song-nya, yang kemudian saya download dari internet, yang kemudian juga teman saya itu jadi marah-marah kenapa harus saya yang dapetin theme song itu, padahal dia duluan yang suka House (:P)

Memang film seri ini sangat berfokus sama Dr. Gregory House, dari judulnya aja udah ketauan kali gak? (hehe..). House adalah manusia dengan kepribadian unik. Bukan unik dalam arti eksentrik. He’s a master of self-centered people, a drug addict doctor, very outspoken, one limp narcistic guy, straight forward, annoyingly stubborn and brutally funny.

Sampai dijuluki ‘One Sick Bastard’ sama anak buahnya!

But…
He’s also a genius. Good in piano, guitar, chess (??), even magic. He’s one of the best diagnostician in the world, but always seems to be able to obtain loans from his best friend (where does all the money go, anyway?). House selalu mencari-cari waktu, bahkan skips his duties, hanya untuk nonton General Hospital, yang cleverly, dia tonton dari kamar pasien yang udah sekarat.

Etc..etc..etc..

Now I’m falling in love with this character. Hugh Laurie benar-benar mampu menjadikan House diingat akan ke-rese’annya. Pantas kalau dia diganjar habis-habisan oleh berbagai award academies untuk perannya di sini.

Nominated for Best Leading Actor for Emmy, Golden Globes, Prism, Satellite, Screen Actors Guild, Teen Choice and Television Critics Association, he brought home the Golden Globes (2006 and 2007), Satellite Awards (2005 and 2006), Screen Actors Guild (2007), Teen Choice Awards (2007) and twice for Television Critics Association Awards (2005 and 2006).

quotes: George Clooney

What’s so good about playing a thief and would you like to be one in real life?

Well, I’ve done it a lot and I find it’s much more fun than not playing one (laughing). How would I like to do it in real life? I don’t know. I don’t think I’d want to. I’m trying to come up with a funny answer but I don’t have a single funny answer to give you.

kiss kiss, bang bang

This is a year 2005 production, by the way...

First time I heard about this movie, I was like, wondering, what kind of movie is this? The title is just ridiculous.. Also starring Val Kilmer, whom I don’t really fond of. Although the other guy is Robert Downey Jr, whom, I like very much, but still.. I didn’t have the intension to watch this one.

Until one day.. I didn’t have a decent movie to watch, and I got bored. The only possible movie to watch in my cable was this movie. What was I suppose to do?

Then, I watched this one..
Then, I started to smile
Then, I couldn’t stop watching
Then, I laughed so hard so much
Now, I can’t get enough of it..

Downey is Harry Lockhart who steals for a living, an amateur. With luck, a bit skill in acting and, once again, with luck, he ended up as a trainee actor in Hollywood.

Gay Perry (Kilmer), gay of course, a friend of Harry’s founder, is a private “honest to God” detective. He is asked to give detective training to Harry.

Harmony (Monaghan) is an actress wannabe from Indiana who successfully starred one national TV commercial, and that’s it. She ended up being a catering and a bar waitress. She also turned out to be Harry’s childhood friend and first love.

The detective training trapped Harry and Perry in a real murder case, connected to Harmony, a big Hollywood producer and Harmony’s sister.

Robert Downey Jr, as usual, plays amazingly remarkable, funny like hell (well, although I don’t think hell is funny) and geniusly entertaining. He narrates the film amusingly. Michelle Monaghan is not so bad also, naturally brings Harmony’s sexy character. Surprisingly, I love..love..and love Val Kilmer in this movie. He performed smartly as a gay guy.

Downey was nominated, as usual again, for Satellite Award with the categories of Outstanding Actor in Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical and for Outstanding Original Song in 2005.

I gotta say, this is a smart, hilarious, entertaining simple movie with a not very important story. Shane Black beautifully wrapped this one. A highly recommended film!!

shocking summer break-up?? NOOOOOTTTTT !!!

So what??? I know they’re gonna split anyway.. She’s just not his type (well, seems like). But George is not mature enough to dump her at the first place, just because the accident. Feel bad George? I don’t think it’s your fault anyway.. accident happens, man.. so what??? That’s called destiny, by the way. You were waiting to be dumped by her? That’s not mature.

BTW, I always know that you will quit her, like I know that Brad and Jen will be together again (am I crazy or what??). I don’t really care, I hate that she-devil carrying Brad’s baby or babies (?).

So Dear George.. have fun hunting, I know you'll find better one..

"The Fat Dancer From Take That"

OK. Agak berlebihan mungkin kalo saya bilang, this is one of my biggest fear. Tapi berita yang saya terima belakangan ini memang agak mencemaskan buat saya.

It’s Robbie Williams..

Awal saya tahu kalau Robbie punya high interest untuk Aliens, UFO dan saudara-saudaranya, reaksi saya masih.. “Well, ok. That’s fine”. Tapi ketika saya tahu kalau Robbie tidak punya keinginan untuk bikin album apalagi going for a tour di tahun 2008 ini (dan mungkin next year juga), baru deh.. panick attack kecil-kecilan saya tiba.

Let me quote some of his words. Ini saya kutip dari tulisan dia dari suatu blog yang memang specially dedicated to Robbie:

” I was with a friend who was lying next to me on another sun lounger and we were both staring upwards. From what I remember, an object flew over us at about 200 to 300 ft high…it may have been higher I don’t know. It was definitely black with yellow stripes underneath. Now, I’m not sure if it was square or triangle, but I do remember that it made absolutely no noise whatsoever. My friend and I both saw it. I don’t know why, but I had a hunch it was one of ours.In addition to this sightening, there was another very strange occurance I witnessed one Friday night about 5 months ago. My friends and I were playing a song called Arizona (about ufo’s) that we had written. It was dusk and, suddenly, a big ball of light appeared over the san fernando valley. We were standing on my balcony at the time. When the song finished it disappeared …….when we played it again it came back on…once again, when the song finished it disappeared…….this happened 4 times”

Itu hanya sekelebat dari banyak tulisan dia mengenai aliens, UFO, dan kawan-kawannya. Bahkan dia sampai bikin documentary on sightings! Fine Rob, I know that ‘U Believe’, but please don’t make this as a..career path (??)

Jadi sepertinya… masih jauh dari harapan nih, kalau berharap dia akan datang dalam waktu dekat ke Indonesia..(sedih).

Oh ya, by the way, beliau ini juga lagi asik pacaran sama new girlfriend-nya, a not-so-famous actress, Ayda Field. And also, he develops lots of additional fat in his body..huahahaha… (mengutip celaannya Noel Gallagher buat Robbie, “The Fat Dancer From Take That”).
