A new Webb for Spider-Man

Oh well, we have heard, there's Spider-Man movie no more...~ there wont be anymore Tobey Macguire or Sam Raimi for the next Spider-Man movie saga...! It was sad and disappointing for sure, nonetheless its the past so be it!

As for a new reboot, Sony and Marvel takes up a new storyline and brand new team for the whole project.

 Therefore, we have this guy called Marc Webb to direct on the whole new reboot. Before that, a director of the Golden Globe-nominated Best Picture "(500) Days of Summer," and now to be directing the new franchinse, set to hit theaters summer 2012.  
(BEWARE: a lot of sensitive spidey fans going to compare Marc with Sam Raimi or even expecting it to be better of coz).

As for an introduction of the background of our fella fren, here's some of the achievements he had attained before this:

Marc Webb has won acclaim with his film debut "(500) Days of Summer." He has several MTV VMAs including 2009's Best Director award for Green Day's "21 Guns," 2006 Best Rock Video for AFI's "Miss Murder" and Best Group Video for The All-American Rejects' "Move Along." The Music Video Production Association honored him in 2006 as the Director of the Year for his work with Weezer, AAR and My Chemical Romance.

Based on what have mentioned, the team is going to create a new story that will have a very detailed and sharp focus on the life of Peter Parker as a high school teenager and obstacles he will be going thru his life.

Initially there are a few potential directors tat might be moved to our wishlists, one of them? James Cameron (director of Avatar). Well, lets just say he's not interested on this project, too bad then...And if its otherwise, i am very sure its going to be a freakin' BIG HIT!


Rumors had it that Robert Pattinson might be the new Peter Parker for the next movie??!!! O.o
Alright, I do not wanna break the heart of Twilight heartthrob fan, he can be a lovely Edward Cullen, the sexy vampy. But he doesn't have any matches to be Peter Parker and its an unacceptable role!

As soon as I received a big shock about the rumors, i looked thru newsletter and article for a valid confirmation. Fortunately, it was confirmed that this is JUST a rumor and is NOT going to be true.
 At least i can save myself some soul and good night's sleep... =D

And who is going to be the next Peter Parker?? There is no confirmation, I wanted to know too =D

Caught some shrimps at Bubba Gump =D

Run Forrest Run!! We've heard about all this common quotes, if you have watched Forrest Gump in the first place.

Yesterday was a whole load of fun, me and my colleagues (maybe i should say, most of my EX-colleagues) had this gathering at Bubba Gump Shrimp & Co at The Curve...to have some fresh seafood catch!! A very unique concept was that, it adapted the ideas from this movie, Forrest Gump.

Forrest Gump (by Tom Hanks) heaps the Academy Awards in 1994 with 6 winnings, this would rather drive the motivation for us to watch this one , lolx!

Likewise, this resto adapted the theme of 'Forrest Gump' movie and gathered all the inspiration from the movie to create a setting that matches.
And this is where I find it quite rare and interesting at the same time about B.G! Perhaps this is why menus comes all pricey.... HAHA!

If anyone would like to know, B.G served mostly of shrimp dishes, and also other seafood, whether it is Cajun style, boiled, broiled, baked or deep-fried.

 

 

I like the concept of the resto, in fact if you'd to walk inside, you can assume that all the settings looked like mid 40's . Wait, are we in a dock? lolx! Coz it looks like one...!

This movie is all about running, if you have watched it....haha! We cant seem to leave out some of the favourite quotes. No wonder they put the signage on each of the table.

A bucket with a happy face =D

*******************

And for the main event!! We've got to do some reading on the menu! 

The menu was quite attracting for the love of anyone who reads hahaha! Weird names and creative definition for each of the dishes lolx!!

I cant possibly be snappin pics of all the pages in the menu, so this is where we will be looking at. If you wanna have cheaper selection, go for Captain's Fish n' Chips (RM25.90) =D 

Started off with our appetizer, none other than our old-time garlic bread! Perhaps the way I snapped it doesn't even look like one....it looked like shrimps instead xD 

Ahoy!  Here comes our Captain's Fish n' Chips, battered and deep-fried fish fillet serves with fries, salads and tartar sauce. All the presentation of food are served on top of a reading paper. lolx! At least after finish eating you can get to read. 

Here's our Sweet Home BBQ Burger, topped with sweet and tangy BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese and crispy onion rings and fries.

I can't deny, this is the only photo that stands out hahaha! At least it was taken with a professional camera, and not my usual, cheap 2.0 megapixels camera phone lolx! 

Remember i said that they gave funny names for their menu? 

We named this Bubba's After the Storm.

Stated there:-

"Bucket of Boat Trash" Flash fried Shrimp, Fish with Cajun Spices, and steamed Canadian Lobster Claw. Served with Fries.

 No clear picture on our Dixie Style Baby-back ribs, sorry, lolx! But see how our friend was focusing on the food instead haha! 

And here's the big group who made too much noise on the table...! We had fun and shared lotza topics together. Hope to get together again soon =) 

Overall the food was not up to my expectation, it was just okayyyyy. It is not really worth the value of the food, that's for sure! The quality of food couldn't really defeat some of the independent western resto.

We are actually paying for the environment and ambience rather than the food. (I can't deny environment was  good enough).

But come and visit during the time when your wallet is somehow thick, hahaha!

Italiano cravings at Milano~~

Another trip to OneU for festive season shopping...You'll notice that you're actually walking around Chinatown that's placed inside a shopping mall...!

Full of red and auspicious decorations, no doubt its for the comin' Chinese New Year and that's another 21 days to go! lolx!

People are crowding the mall with many of shopping bags on both hands, of coz mainly for their new year goods, etc. Despite all the  decorations and crowded shoppers...I still need to eat~!

Here, dropped by to this resto called Pizza Milano. Located right at the center of the big aisle on 2nd floor.

They placed the menu at their pillars, catching people's eyes and attention, especially at the price. That's why I wanted to enter as well.. lol!

It wasn't that pricey, normal cafe price you can afford to eat.

While waiting for our food, you can assume that these displays can be our starter, hahaha! 

Here's the Fettucine Carbonara, RM 8.50, with garlic sauce, mushroom and ham slices....Eating this you will go *slurrrrpp* coz its veryyy creamy. I would say that its cream too sticky for a common fettucine.

A note for Carbonara lover: too bad it doesn't have much of a carbonara content...i would say its not a perfect choice of creamy pasta.

Next on the table was Supreme Seafood, RM 9.99 (small), loaded with chunky tuna, cheesy toppings and mayo~* This is a kind of pizza that will well-aligned with local tastebud.

We know we love tunas, we like mayo hahaha! Unless you're looking for a classic, authentic pizza, this is not the one.. =)

My favourite, Beef Pepperoni Supreme RM13.99 (large), with mozarella toppings, it comes with 8 slices...This one tasted good so far, flavoring was just nice for a pepperoni pizza, still feel cheesey and soft on the toppings...can see that it was finely toasted :D yummm yumm!

A cup of cold cold drink to cool down the hot tabasco in my mouth !

***************

Overall, if you're looking for a rather economical Italian cravings, I dun mind asking you to eat here! Honestly its way better than the servings at Pizza Hut (at roughly the same price).

However, it would be better if they have better lighting and bigger tables! At least i can stretch my hand and eat my pizza!! hahaha!

Save our little Haitians

2010 has been a good year for some of us...yet, its not fortunate for some other people in fact.
As I was reading the news, it gets even more disturbing when I was reading some of the article about the Haiti disaster... =(

New year, and new disaster crashed upon Haiti, as we've known from major broadcast news....7.0 magnitude scale rocked the earth of Haiti, with the rough estimated dead counts of 70,000.

I would say, we're quite fortunate to stay out of disaster, or even so, there isn't anything as tormenting as this.
It is only because there's breaking news that people started to join in to lend a hand, or help out the poor....Before we realized that, even without disasters occurred, a lot of people still do need aids from the richer ones.

Anyway, let's just hope that we wont be seeing anymore bad crisis over 2010...~

We can do our part to donate whatever we can, or just spend a bit for the sake of goodwill :D

For Malaysian, we can donate to World Vision:

**World Vision has been working in Haiti for the past 30 years and will be providing food, water, blankets, tents and medical aid for affected children and families. Malaysians who wish to donate to survivors of the Haiti Quake can do so via World Vision Malaysia. **

Spare the stomach for my BIG feast xD

Yesterday I went shopping for my necessity stuff and had dinner for fishy Fish's early birthday...when it comes to eating, it was nothing very complicated, just to have something to spare our stomach.

Our dinner was quite hmmmm huge tat it kills my motivation to keep fit all this while hahaha!

Had our dinner at Chili's Grill and Bar....~ for people who had eaten kinda pricey western foodies, perhaps you would have tried this =D

Anyway, this is still my fav south western restaurant! =D It was quite pricey though, but foodies in the menu worth all the cent you spent lolx!

They served American food that was kinda influenced by Tex-Mex cuisine. The ambience and decoration they put up were practically south-western concept I would say, fitting the simple Mexican resto theme.

Alrightey, lets eat! Vamos a comer!!

For drinks, that will be like well....rather simple lolx! Here's the coffee for coffee lover...~ and I would like to promote the sugar packaging from the resto xD

I had my apple juice, which tasted more like sugar than fruit to me...But i wouldn't mine bottomless drink in any case =D

Fishy Fish had this Monterey Chicken (RM 26.75), marinated n grilled chic breast with cheese n seasoned tomatoes. Well, it doesn't really taste as good as any other dish I have tasted before. The mashed potato and broccoli for its side dishes were much better than its chicken in fact xD

I had my Chicken Club Tacos (RM24.96), had 3 tortilla-filled chicken, chopped beef bacon, served with mexican rice and red beans. For a normal consumption, the size of the plate fits as a meal for two haha!!

This is my all-time favourite mexican foodie....but its not bias, I really LOVE this lolx! 

Basically, eating at Chili's doesn't mean that we have to eat CHILLI or 'Chili'??? lolx! Nonetheless, it seems to look like they encouraged customers to eat more, through display of various signage hahahaha!

Yet, you can take my word, there isn't any food in the resto that is TOO spicy that an asian can't take it xD

Tobey Maguire says " I am Spider-Man no more...." =(

As soon as I got this news I was half devastated... =( immediately I have think of something to blog about.
And it isn't a good news that i would wanna share unfortunately. I just saw it on the news moments ago about this unfortunate and depressing updates on production of Spider-Man 4 in the coming year of 2011...

Apparently, Sony has announced publicly that they will not be producing Spider-Man 4 on screen already in the following year. As a cause-and-effect, it means Tobey Maguire (as Peter Parker in Spider-Man trilogy) and director Sam Raimi will be out of the picture....This is freakin' sad news for sure!! ARRRRRR.....!




Supposingly it was announced publicly that the team were in the midst of production, where in fact there has not yet gone into production, amid rumors revealed that one of the reason is coz of trouble on the set.


As for a NEW production, the scriptwriter revealed to be James Vanderbilt.
There will be a reboot and will be released as a new edition in summer 2012.
There will be a new cast and filmmaking team for the next major production.  Added to that, it does not represent any continuation to the earlier 2002’s SPIDER-MAN. Reboot will be focusing on the story of Peter Parker during his high school years.

 *****************

Definitely it was a sad news...! Initially it was Spider-Man movie that makes me obsessed to the whole Spider-Man picture and goin' into their world....
My credits go to Sam Raimi who did such a good job to make the whole trilogy work out as a big piece of wonderful art! And the team who makes me fall in love with it totally!

Sam Raimi will and always be the best Spider-Man director I have ever known!! *respect*

No one can act as Peter Parker as good as Tobey Maguire

Welcome to the Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus *curtains up*

Its weekend again, kinda been a long week for me...haha! I was stressed out with alot of workload that dropped on top of my head. But my fellow part-timers made my day, askin' me along for movie that i've been wanted to watch lolx!

The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus. I would say that tis is not really my kind of movie at first. Yet, I've been dying to watch, since this will be an appreciation for the last movie Heath Ledger had acted before his unfortunate death. =( ...rest in peace....~ I was complaining before this: why do they have to open it in cinema on Jan 2010?!! It was screened first in other countries during the month of Oct last year -.-"

And there are a few points that I would like to add credits to this movie as well...

The late Heath Ledger passed away before he was able to complete the shooting of the whole movie. And it was stopped halfway...Well, creatively our director Terry Gilliam and screenwriter Charles McKeown had to find someone to act on behalf of Heath, which create much attention of the audiences.

Some of the sorta 'special guests' are like: Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law. Gals will like to watch this movie, they wan sexy man hahahahaha!

 *You can read all you want, there WON'T be any SPOILER* (lolx)

This movie tells the story of Dr Parnassus showing his extraordinary gift by guiding anyone to their imaginary world. He travels with his team all around the city presenting his show on stage.

On the stage, he will allow people to enter the mystical 'mirror' that will direct anyone to their own world of imagination. You shall imagine how your world looks like, hahahah!

Through the progress of the journey the team met up with a lad with no name (Heath Ledger) and he was brought to the team alongside, they named him as Tony in the story.

In the world of Imaginarium, Tony will have different features and looks, this is where all the special guests appeared. hahahaha!

Some screenshots of Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell in the movie.

This show can be interesting with some added element such as this:-

She might not be the hottest actress I've known (Lily Cole), nevertheless this shot will catch people's attention LOL!

So that's it! Enter the world of Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, its obviously stated that all the plots can be imaginary. If you wanna watch a movie with a complete plot or realistic storyline, don't put so much demand on this. Still it doesn't mean that this movie is poor production, gettin 5 nominations proved that there are some reasons we should watch this one.

After all, its a British film, our expectation for this have to be different from most Hollywood movies we have watched before. I give it 7 out of 10 rating =D

give me a moment for an outdated holiday blog xD

I nearly forgot tat i used to blog tat much, xD...!

Been out for holiday and i didn have the mood to blog (enjoying my free time all the time) =D

And now its back again to real life..after quite a holiday!

But i did go for outing over Xmas season itself....again did some snippy snaps of the holiday ambience~

***********************

We had our dinner at Manhattan Fish Market, and a big plate settled our meal xD

Had a big plate Manhattan Seafood Platter for two; stuffed with grilled gala prawns, old school fish fillet and chips, deep fried oyster and fried squid. Served with a pool of rice underneath lolx!! I dun ned to post too many pics, 1 pic does it all hahaha!

If you like deep-fried and seafoodie meal...you'll love sumthin like tis. But i dun think someone can fill their stomach with too many fried food...it makes you feel guilty.  Coz  its NICE and UNHEALTHY at the same time lolx! Once a while will served both your stomach and health a satisfactory go!
