My Lucky Color for Underwear is.. June 12, 2008

According to blogthings:

Your Lucky Underwear is Yellow

You’re an extremely happy, laid back, fun soul. And your lucky yellow underwear can help you get even more out of life.
In life, you rather play than work. You’re apt to quit any task that doesn’t nourish your creativity and inner child.

Sometimes your drive for freedom hinders your quality of life. You find it impossible to do anything unpleasant.
If you want to have responsibilities and still have fun, put on your yellow underpants. They’ll help you make a party out of the most mundane tasks.

My EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient) June 12, 2008

According to Blogthings:

Your EQ is 107

You’re average. It’s easy to predict how you’ll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.

You’re a bit moody, and sometimes you have trouble coping with every day life.
But you’re by no means depressed, and your good days definitely out number your bad days.

There’s nothing really wrong with your life, but you may not be living up to your actual potential.
Negative emotions can be a real drain of your energy, so make sure you have them under control.

Definitely True!!!!

My Movie Review: The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) June 11, 2008

My friend said that I should see the movie coz it’s amazing. and she was right. I love the movie. And become really interested in the life of the boleyn sister. I really appreciate Scarlet’s performance. Great Movie. after watching the movie, I went to bookstore to see and hopefully the buy the book. hehe

Movie Plot

A sumptuous and sensual tale of intrigue, romance and betrayal set against the backdrop of a defining moment in European history: two beautiful sisters, Anne and Mary Boleyn, driven by their family’s blind ambition, compete for the love of the handsome and passionate King Henry VIII.

Movie Trailer

Goofs

• Factual errors: Details of some historical characters and events have been changed to fit the dramatic narrative.
• Factual errors: Although Mary is referred to in the film as the younger sister, most historians today are convinced that she was the eldest girl. Her date of birth is circa 1499, while Anne is believed to have been born in the early 1500s.
• Factual errors: The scene of Mary Boleyn’s wedding depicts spring in full bloom, if not early summer. In reality, she married William Carey in early February of 1520, thus the accompyaning weather/seasonal status would have been substantially bleaker, if not snowy.

My Movie Review: 21(2008) June 11, 2008

I saw the trailer and thought that it may be a good movie. When I was watching it, as the story goes along, I began to be more interested. I love the twist in the story. Good Movie

Movie Plot

Ben Campbell is a young, highly intelligent, student at M.I.T. in Boston who strives to succeed. Wanting a scholarship to transfer to Harvard School of Medicine with the desire to become a doctor, Ben learns that he cannot afford the $300,000 for the four to five years of school since he comes from a poor, working-class background. But one evening, Ben is introduced by his unorthodox math professor Micky Rosa into a small but secretive club of five students, Jill, Choi, Kianna, and Jimmy whom are being trained by Professor Rosa of the skill of card counting at blackjack. Intriged by the desire to make money, Ben joins his new friends on secret weekend trips to Las Vegas where, using their skills of code talk and hand signals, they have Ben make hundreds of thousands of dollars in winning blackjack at casino after casino. Ben only wants to make enough money for the tuition to Harvard and then back out. But as fellow card counter, Jill Taylor, predicts, Ben becomes corrupted by greed and his arrogance at winning which lets his feelings get in the way, and it also puts Professor Rosa, as well as the group, on the radar of a brutal casino security enforcer, named Cole Williams, who holds a personal grudge of some kind against Rosa which threatens to undo everything the students have learned and earned.

Movie Trailer

Trivia

• Jeff Ma, the real life Ben Campbell, has a small role in the movie as a Planet Hollywood blackjack dealer.
• MIT wouldn’t allow filming on its campus, so the movie was actually filmed at Boston University.
• The movie was used as a luxury prize for the contestants on the Big Brother 9 in the US. They played a competition involving blackjack, and the winners got to see a special advance screening of the movie. One contestant won a trip to Las Vegas worth $21,000, which included a three night stay at the same hotel the actors from the movie stayed in.
• Boston University students were used as extras in many of the classroom scenes.

Goofs

• ontinuity: During the first meeting with Ben, the cards that Micky deals alternate from face up, face down, and missing altogether.
• Continuity: When Ben’s mom is serving birthday cake to Ben and his friends, she serves Cam twice.
• Errors in geography: There are multiple errors in Vegas hotel locations – seeming to be in one hotel when the shot from the window makes it clear they are elsewhere, particularly when visiting a suite said to be at the Hard Rock but clearly the view is from a tall Strip hotel. The Hard Rock Hotel is neither.

• Errors in geography: In the montage scene showing the “extravagant” lifestyle of the group, the film cuts to scenes at the blackjack table, inside of clubs, etc. It’s supposed to happen in or around the Planet Hollywood Casino/Hotel, but many of the locations shown are from Red Rock Casino game room and the club “Cherry”. Red Rock is about 12.5 miles northwest of the Strip, surrounded by houses and deserts.
• Continuity: When Ben is handed his earnings from the first night a five dollar bill is seen on the outside of the bundle. Moments later a $100 is on the outside.
• Continuity: During the opening credits, while Ben is riding his bike on the road, you see the same orange PT cruiser go past twice and the same silver Chrysler 300C go past three times.
• Continuity: During the opening scene montage, when Ben is riding his bike across the bridge, the position of his backpack changes several times.
• Continuity: When Prof Rosa calls Cole, Terry answers the phone and places Rosa on hold. However, when Cole takes the phone from Terry, he does not take Rosa off of hold and proceeds to talk to him.
• Continuity: When Mickey and Ben are walking through the park before the first trip, there is no one behind them. The camera changes and there is a woman walking her dog and another man.
• Factual errors: At Ben’s birthday party, his friend waves some papers and says they are the “specs of the 209 competition” for which they are building a self-navigating wheel. The text on the paper are not specs, and are instead source-code of Skyplot (search for skyplot.cpp on-line) which is used to plot the positions of GPS satellites.
• Continuity: When Ben is riding his bike on the bridge, a young guy with a lady are passing in the back stage. After this, when a yellow stripped bus passed behind Ben, that young guy and lady disappeared (it seems, they jumped into water) then another lady in white jacket appears who was absent before in the back stage.

My teddy’s poem for me June 9, 2008

Is it time that led me to you

Or just destiny that made a dream come true

And now that I have you

Hope that faith will be sweet for us too

Soulmates they call us

So no one can take me away from you

For you are the lucky one

So sweet and so true

Destiny is the reason that we are together now

So I hope you’ll stay forever even if I don’t know how

But I’ll give you my promise

And this I swear is true

I am your destiny and I am made for you

he said he read a poem in a book and send it to me coz it’s just like our story. I love it. It’s so sweet

My Playlist: Grow old with you June 9, 2008

I love this song and the lyrics itself. My boyfriend also love this, whenever we’re together, we always play this song. I first heard this song when I watched “The wedding singer” Nice and so sweet

Lyrics

I wanna make you smile whenever you’re sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

I’ll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I’ll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

Need you
Feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you’ve had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you

I really really love the movie. Much better than the first one (though the first one was also good). your money will never be wasted if you will watch this movie coz its so great. I love the effects and Prince Caspian is sooo cute. (“,) Nice story!!! The best!! you should go and watch it

Movie Plot

“Prince Caspian” finds the Pevensie siblings pulled back into the land of Narnia, where a thousand years have passed since they left. The children are once again enlisted to join the colorful creatures of Narnia in combating an evil villain who prevents the rightful Prince from ruling the land.

My Movie Review: Wild Wild West(1999) June 9, 2008

I search for a movie to watch this afternoon coz I’m so bored. I saw the cd of this movie and since I don’t even remember the whole movie itself I decided to watch the movie. It’s so cool especially the special effects. The gadgets that Gordon made was so great. I wish I could make one of those cool inventions.

Movie Plot

Jim West is a guns-a-blazing former Civil War hero. Artemus Gordon is an inventive U.S. Marshal who excels in disguise. When the United States is threatened by psychotic Confederate Arliss Loveless, President Ulysses Grant teams the duo up to bring him to justice. On a hazard-packed train journey from Washington to Utah, West and Gordon must combine their skills to best Loveless and his diabolical machines.

Movie Trailer

Goofs

• Anachronisms: When Grant drives the stake in at the railroad ceremony, there is a clear shot of the flag in the background with 50 stars. From 1867-1877, the US flag had 37 stars.
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Loveless’ wheeled vehicle was referred to as a tank, but the name “tank” for such a vehicle wasn’t coined until the British used it as a cover name in the First World War. For the sake of the fiction, though, we can assume the British commanders present when Loveless’ “tank” was introduced influenced the later usage.
• Crew or equipment visible: When Jim West is hanging over the abyss, before the nitro destroys the saloon, you can see human legs between the legs of the horses.

• Continuity: The second time the Golden Spike bounces out of the hole in the sleeper at Promontary Point, it falls to the right. When the dignitary picks it up again to put it back in the hole, he picks it up from the left.
• Revealing mistakes: When Artemus “hammers” West onto the pool table in the train you can see the felt flex as West lands on it. A slate top wouldn’t flex, but the foam padding used to soften the landing would.
• Continuity: Initially, the horse cart filled with nitro is facing the saloon, horses on the near side, when West is dangling over the edge of a ridge. Later, when Loveless detaches the cart from the horses, it is shown as facing away from the saloon with the horses on the far side.
• Continuity: During the fight between McGrath and West in an upstairs hotel/saloon room, McGrath’s “trumpet ear” is missing (left side) when McGrath charges West. (It’s a very quick close-up of McGrath’s head.)
• Continuity: West strangles one of the machine room fighters with a chain, then throws him out the door. The chain’s end is visibly loose. When West and Loveless fall, West grabs on to the man, who is now hanging by his chain from the spider.
• Factual errors: It’s unlikely that McGrath would have been hypnotized so quickly.
• Factual errors: The collar magnets, high powered as they were, should have either attracted or repelled each other from the beginning. After Gordon hits West’s collar with the rock, West’s collar “reverses” polarity, causing it to attract to Gordon’s. However, if there was a complete reversal as is implied, Gordon and West’s collars should have repelled each other from the beginning. Therefore, Gordon and West should never have been able to jump into each other’s arms, let alone stand next to each other in the small perimeter afforded them when they first woke with the collars.
• Factual errors: In the movie, President Grant establishes the Secret Service in 1869, to protect the President. In reality, the Secret Service was founded in 1865, to fight counterfeiters. The agency started acting as Presidential bodyguards after the 1901 assassination of President McKinley.
• Continuity: The spider on West’s arm/hand.
• Continuity: A track bend disappears after the first shot of the tank.
• Factual errors: In the first panoramic shot of Washington, D.C., the dome of the Capitol is still under construction during the administration of President U.S. Grant, after the Civil War. The dome was completed in 1864, in time for the second Lincoln inauguration in March 1865.
• Anachronisms: West, Gordon, and President Grant are shown in the Oval Office, which was first constructed during the Taft Administration in 1909.
• Revealing mistakes: Grant’s fake beard glue is obvious in a close up at the spike driving ceremony.
• Continuity: When Loveless and James West are hanging from the spider while the wheelchair supports their weight, there are several shots of Loveless’ wheelchair release lever. The first shot shows no hands on the lever. The next shot shows Loveless’ hand on the lever. The next shot shows no hand on the lever. The next shot shows James West’s hand on top of Loveless’ hand on the lever.
• Continuity: When Loveless and James West fall from the spider, James is able to slide down a chain and the body of the ‘knife guy’ he killed earlier. When he stops himself, he is seen holding the person’s right leg with both hands. The next time he is seen, James is holding a leg in each hand.
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: James West left his black horse behind when he first boarded the moving train and has it later. While normally a train would have to stop to board a horse, it’s quite possible the train has, as it does in the series, a corral designed to board horses while the train is in motion.
• Factual errors: If the magnetic collar rings are strong enough to drag Artemus along the desert toward a railroad, then he would never have the strength to separate himself from James West.
• Continuity: Before Miss East is shot, her right earring pops in and out of her collar.
• Revealing mistakes: When Jim grabs onto the rope during the hanging, the brief overhead shot reveals the much thinner stunt safety line running next to the rope.
• Factual errors: The Golden Spike was actually 3 separate spikes: a gold spike from California, a silver spike from Nevada, and a gold/silver/iron alloy spike from Arizona. It was presented, but never driven into the roadbed. Some accounts say it was driven in and immediately removed.
• Continuity: In one of the scenes when James West throws the “Knife Guy” from the spider you can plainly see the chain detach and fall. In the next scene you can see the chain still being pulled up and over. Later James West falls onto the knife guy and hangs there and he (Knife Guy) is magically reattached to the spider.
• Continuity: The same grocery store can plainly be seen burning in the old village and, in the next scene, getting blown up for the second time.
• Revealing mistakes: As the “tank” rolls up the riverbank (just before it massacred the Southern troops), you can see the “steel plating” bounce as if made of much lighter material and not soldered/welded on at all.
• Anachronisms: Much of the slang was not used in that time.
• Factual errors: Officials of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads drove in the final spikes, not President Grant.
• Continuity: When Jim picks up the corset box with the pop out gun, the bullet is too big in diameter to fit the gun.
• Factual errors: The states and territories of the U.S. are incorrect on the map in Grant’s office. Dr. Loveless also describes them incorrectly to his delegates.
• Continuity: When James West visits Washington, there is an establishing shot showing the partially constructed dome of the Capitol Building. The matte painting of the dome is clearly illuminated by the sun from the left of frame while the live action plate of the foreground, showing James West riding through town, is strongly lit by the sun, from the right of frame.
• Factual errors: It is highly unlikely that chain mail (which is all Gordon’s “impermeable” amounts to) would actually hold against a bullet fired from close range. Even if it did, the impact would almost certainly break bones and cause severe trauma.
• Continuity: When Artemus and Rita arrive at the massacre, the horse drawing their carriage is centered when seen from above. Before and after that, it is located to one side as the other horse drawing the carriage was ridden off by West.
• Continuity: When James and Artemus jump to each other and fall into the mud, James’ hat is muddy. In the next shot with him and Artemus walking along, his hat is clean.
• Continuity: When Gordon and West jump into the ravine and land in the mud, West’s magnetic collar is almost completely covered with mud. In the next shot, the collars are completely clean, yet their clothes are still covered.
• Continuity: When Jim’s and Artemus’ collars first clink together, the top plate of Jim’s collar goes under the top plate of Artemus’. In every shot afterward, they’re attached the other way.
• Continuity: When West and Gordon are walking in the desert with the collars around their necks, the dirt on their clothing changes between shots.
• Anachronisms: As West rides down Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House in 1869, 20th-century overhang highway lights are visible behind the trees in the background.
• Anachronisms: As West is riding in the cart under the train, the track is clearly continuously welded rail, which was first used in the 1950s.
• Continuity: When Jim is trying to talk his way out of the hanging, the wide shots show him with the noose around his neck, somewhat restricting his movement. Close-up shots show him not only without the noose around his neck, but also standing freely, even casually gesturing.
• Continuity: When Jim gets on his horse at the White House, and Artie mounts his bike, he’s on a black horse. When he is passed by Artie on the bike, it’s a bay. When he’s chasing the train, he’s on his black horse again.
• Continuity: On the train when Rita comes in to say goodnight to Jim and Artemus, Jim is reclining on the couch with his hands behind his head. When he says goodnight to Rita, he takes his hat off. In the next shot, his hands are behind his head again.
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Dr. Loveless claims he lost 35 feet of small intestine. The large and small intestine combined are less than 30 feet long.
• Continuity: When pursuing Loveless’ train, as James and Artemus’ train approaches the end of the tunnel, the girders holding up Loveless’ train are not visible. As soon as the train leaves the tunnel, the girders can be seen on either side of the track immediately at the end of the tunnel.
• Revealing mistakes: When Grant is driving the stake in at the railroad ceremony, the brand new railroad has very old, weathered sleepers (the wooden part between the rails).
• Factual errors: When the Golden Spike was driven, the two trains (Union Pacific’s No. 119 and Central Pacific’s “Jupiter”) were brought together, with only the width of a single tie separating them. In the movie, there is clearly a lot of room between them.
• Continuity: When Gordon projects Prof. Thadeus Morton’s last conscious image, Morton’s head is seen to be rotated clockwise, but the projected image turns opposite to what it should.
• Factual errors: When Jim and Artie are running though the field from the high power magnets, the corn is at least 5-6 feet tall. We are to assume this movie takes place in May. Corn never gets that tall until at least July-August.
• Errors in geography: At the end of the movie, West and Artemis are heading back to DC from Utah, which means heading east. However, they travel toward the sunset, which is to the west.
• Continuity: When Artemus fires on Loveless’ hydraulics (while Loveless is “stomping” on Jim with his mechanical “legs”), Loveless looks down and we see quite a bit of fluid squirting out of the mechanism. In the next scene, as Loveless’ “legs” fail and he sinks to the floor, there is no indication anywhere of the fluid.
• Continuity: In the first scene on the train, pushing the button at the back of the car led to a hammer coming down and the pool table turning over; the second time when West tells Artemis to push the button, it is obvious that no hammer came down. The button should have done the same thing both times.
• Continuity: When Jim mounts the spider first time, and when he falls down, he wears laced leather pants – but never before or after during the whole movie (without a realistic chance to change clothes).
