Finally, The Avenger Review Part 1 (SPOILER FREE)

I'm pretty sure that by now, you would have watched The Avengers like a gazillion times, and yet, still unable to figure out where them movies prior to The Avengers go in the Marvel timeline. Not to worry, I found this post in 9gag which solves that very problem. How nice and thoughtful ! Shows us when the events in the various Marvel films take place, and where Thor, Iron Man 1&2, Captain America, The Incredible Hulk movies overlap with each other. 

Click to enlarge.

So what next? A friggin review of course! Actually its more of a question-answer kinda review.

Anyway its SPOILER FREE so here goes.

"But I haven't watched any of the movies prior to this! I don't know what's happening and I'm clueless. I thought these kind of movies are for geeks. But I wanna watch it now because everyone is doing it! HOW?"

If you've seen the trailers, you kind of gotten the gist of the story-line. Superheroes assemble, to defeat Thor's half-brother, Loki. If you haven't seen any of the earlier Avengers-related movies, don't worry - Josh Whedon weaved the story well enough to tell you what you've missed, filling in the gaps even to those clueless sods who never gave a hoot about Marvel movies til now. Go die, darn posers ! NEXT.

"Bloody hell. But I'm a comic fan! That's injustice to us loyalists! How can they make it like this!?? Dumbed it down???!!!! Watered down?? Heck no!"

Dont worry. Calm your tits man. Josh Whedon left enough Easter Eggs in the movie to pay homage to hardcore fans. I, for one, felt the movie does justice to the comics and us hardcore fans. It is smart, witty, action-packed without being tacky and in true Marvel fashion, left lots of clues on what are to be expected in future movies. I'm not gonna tell you what they are, as it will be spoiling the movie for you, right? ;)

"Oh surely there will be issues of each characters not getting enough screen time. Too many characters at a time in the same movie. How do you fit each individual storyline without sacrificing others'? Like Ocean's Eleven...well, they sucked at it...kind of"

Actually, I think every character got equal screen time, worthy of their expected presence in the movie, and as an Avenger. Ok, some do get extra coverage, like Tony Stark and Bruce Banner but it happens in the comics too. A-list characters get more screen time. That is expected, to be fair I'm afraid.

"How's Tom Hiddlestone as Loki? Yay or Nay?"

For a bit, I was kind of rooting for him! He gave performance like that of Heath Ledger in The Dark Kinight. Well, almost. Worth coming to watch the movie just for his acting alone.

"Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill?"

Oh wow Aunt Robin as Agent Maria Hill? She sure was a feast for the eyes, not as much as Scarlett though but Cobie was alright ;). But one gripe - I wish they'd feature her more ...but then again, like in the comics, she's almost a C-list character.

"So I've seen the trailer - is that all? Any more scenes that will make me rip off my seat?"

YES. AND PLENTY I tell you.

"I have a weak bladder. When can I pee?"

Err... I suppose after Hawkeye was 'cured' (see? very informative without revealing much :P)

"Any boobs?"

Does Hulk's moobs count? If no, minimal.

"Favorite scene?"

It involves The Hulk and Loki ;D

"Any cheesy lines that will make me cringe?"

None. Actually yes but minimal, mostly by old steel head. I am kinda disappointed that Captain America didn't go "Avengers Assemble!"

"How's the pace? Not to quick or draggy?"

It starts with a BANG, continued steadily through the middle, and ended with a BANG. Never a dull moment throughout. Good pace to keep viewers engaged but it can be overwhelming at times with the non-stop actions which leads to over-excitement. Kinda like when your dog greets you after you come back from school or work.

"What about Iron Man's suit? Any cool scenes? What's new?"

Lots. We learn lots of new, cool stuff Tony Stark has put into the Mark VI suit, and if you thought the Mark V suit-up scene in Iron Man 2 was the shizz, The Avengers has something that will top that. Also, the Captain America's by the way.

"Cameos?"

Yes. We get Pepper Potts, Jane Foster and Stan Lee as usual. Keep your eyes sharp :) Sadly no War Machine tho, otherwise it will be kickass seeing Rhodey shooting at the Chitauri.

"I hated Iron Man 2. Will I like this?"

You will.

"I hated Thor. Will I like this?"

You will.

"I hated Captain America: The First Avenger. Will I like this?"

Can't blame you but ditto.

"I hated the Hulk movies. Wil I like this?"

You better.

"What about Mark Ruffalo? Better than Ed Norton? How is he as Bruce Banner?"

Brilliant. I prefer him to Edward Norton, actually. He portrays the emotions of a brilliant scientist struggling with his inner beast perfectly. I wish there's a remake of the Hulk with Mark on board this time. 

"After-credits - should I wait?"

DUH. Keep your keesters glued to the seats. I failed to do that during Fast Five and learned my lesson since.

Here's a few hits and misses.

More Nick fury talk, as if the heroes are his last chance. YET, he still plays down the importance of Tony Stark. - HIT! 

We hear more of The Black Widow. Woweee. But I personally prefer more scenes of her with the zipper err... pulled lower down. - MISS! Well. Half-Hit. No opened zipper, but Natasha fights in a short dress. WIN.

Extra lines from Bruce Banner instead of the customary "Huuuurrrrrggghhhh!" - HIT!

Speaking of the Hulk, we notice there's an extended clip where he actually plays well along with others, and saved Iron Man who seemed like he was knocked out. Way to go Green Bro! - Almost a MISS> But it's a HIT!

Iron Man - Captain America - Thor brawl. I sensed there will be an ice-breaking session which includes them three knocking the socks off each other. - HIT!

Loki will be one big mutha - MISS! (you'll know why once you've watched it)

The Hulk is a bigger mutha! - HIT!

The star cast. Superb performances all round.

The Avengers Review Part 2- Coming Up!

Chelsea- Kings of Europe 2011-2012 !

The sheer restlessness of Abramovich’s ambition has often seemed to undermine his efforts to make Chelsea the best team in Europe since he first purchased The Blues back in 2003, despite splashing out billions.  Claudio Ranieri first came close in 2004 but got beaten by then resilient Monaco side in the semis. Jose Mourinho, who won Champions League with Porto that year, was then called onboard by Roman to manage Chelsea and also came close but got rebuffed in the semis by Liverpool, the famous ghost goal of Luis Garcia coming into mind. Then Barcelona stopped them in the semis again the following year- with the help of the referee for the match who infamously denied no less than 4 penalty appeals from Chelsea in the match. Mourinho then got sacked despite winning two EPL titles during his three short years at Stamford Bridge but Roman's intentions couldn't be clearer ; He craved for the glory of Champions League. Avram Grant then was chosen the interim manager and almost but ALMOST tasted the final win Roman craved so much, being only a John Terry penalty kick away. But alas it was not to be, as John Terry forgot to replace his skates for boots and calamitously slipped on the Moscow pitch, handing the title to us, Manchester United. God knows what the poor poor soul did to deserve that and all the other slippings which came after. Naturally, Avram got the kick. After a string of other managers who didn't do any better, if not worse, next victim-to-be, Carlo Ancelotti came into the fray immediately. He won the EPL title but got his ass kicked by Barcelona in the semis yet again. Phew! Depressing isn't it? Going through all that misery for a club which tries so hard yet failes when it comes to the biggest stage of all. Well not anymore.

Pretty much how he always appeared all those years before.

Back to this season now. The sacking of Villas-Boas and disrupting the team with the purchase of Torres seemed to have backfired spectacularly this season. As recently as March, disaffection and mutiny was sweeping through the first team. Elimination from this season’s Champions League at the hands of Napoli beckoned; a finish outside the top four looked highly likely, which would have accounted for next season’s European competition, too. And they were in charge of an interim manager, Roberto Di Matteo, who got sacked by West Brom years before. Overall, Chelsea were down in dumps pretty much there quarters of the season. And I wouldn't have blamed them if they decided to throw in the towel and called it a season. Their morale shattered, team spirit gone, unity buried and pretty much the form of every players in the squad in tatters, who would have thought just 3 months later, Di Matteo would be guiding them to a cup double. If anyone had told me Chelsea would end the season winning the Fa Cup and Champions League then, I swear I would have thrown them in my car and drove them to the hospital to get their brains examined!!! After the edgy, fidgety reign of Villas-Boas, Di Matteo's calm head acted as a healing balm in the Stamford Bridge dressing room. Tension lifted, fractured morale repaired itself, and suddenly it was fun again to pull on a blue shirt!
Together with the core of experience in the side, it has carried Chelsea from a point of apparent internal self-destruction already to the point of lifting two trophy's this season. It was fated I tell you. Destiny as some would call it. Such was their route to the Champions League triumph from the day they beat Napoli. Barca couldn't break them despite being unimaginably dominant over the two legs. Neither could suspensions, including John Terry's; Nor playing Bayern on their own backyard; nor going behind with seven minutes left on clock. Having somehow dug out an equalizer to force extra-time through who else but Didier Droba, Chelsea could not be shaken by a further trauma: when they conceded penalty. And it was Lionel Messi mishap all over again but in this case, Petr Cech plunged magnificently to stop old boy Robben's spot-kick. The 30 minutes of extra-time were like the 90 minutes preceding them: Bayern in cruise control but Chelsea- with Gary Cahill making an extraordinary diving block to thwart Mario (Tap In) Gomez- somehow still on terms. Then came that old enemy, the penalty shootout. Blues don't win those and the Germans never lose them. Except there has been something other-worldly about this campaign in general and Chelsea in the Champions League particularly. And they brought down the curtains on the surprising night, with cup held safely in their's hands. "How on earth did that happen"!?, you may ask. I won't blame you. The partisan home crowd of Allianz Arena certainly wondered what hit them too. One simple explanation- Logic was not among the participants this season obviously. And yes, it's DESTINY.

The guy on the left spoiled it for the Blues at Moscow and almost
did it again this season with his sending off at Barca. What a
silly boy. The guy on the right, well he's now a Chelsea legend, diver or not.

Surely Didier Drogba worth a new contract now, isn't he Mr. Abramovich? That beast of a man had already won the FA Cup for and came to rescue and won the Champions League for you guys. Few words really sum up the player. Brilliant, a beast, moody, awesome, incredible. What more can you ask more from a striker with so much quality such as him? Yet by all accounts the Drog is on a slow boat to China this summer as the Russian billionaire does not think he is worth the two-year deal he wants. You're asking for it Roman. Also what's with the stalling over the whole Di Matteo situation? Give him the seat already. He's already done what EVERY SINGLE of his predecessors failed to do, and in just 3 friggin months. If you let him go, there won't be anyone more foolish than you in this planet, Roman old boy. Yes you finally won the cup but remember these two chaps, without whom, you'd still be looking like a sad spoilt brat who never ever learns from mistakes.

Bitch high as fuck winning two cups in 3 months and shit lol.

They're gonna miss you when you're gone.

First time winners.

Congratulations to Chelsea!! They certainly deserved the win ever since that win over Barca and the way they completely turned around their season despite the ageing squad. Given the way in which Di Matteo's men defied the reigning champions - without even the need for away goals after Torres's clinical finish - over two legs and 186 minutes of play, not even the most ardent Barcelona fan could justifiably suggest they do not deserve their place in the final. For a remarkably unconvincing season, The Blues have ended it well, with that elusive Champions League trophy finally in the cabinet for the first time after all those years and years of waiting. And this time they have earned it, unlike years before when they tried to buy it. :)


Sincerely, a Red Devil.

Loki: Enough! All of you are beneath me. I am a god, you dull creature and I shall not be bullied... The Hulk: [Hulk flattens Loki with repeated smashes into the floor] Puny god.

I'm sure you all know where that came epic line came from. :) One of the best scenes from one of the awesomest movie ever made in history! And it was smashing I tell ya. Just like what good old Hulk does. SMASHING ! :D

My review's coming up soon. Don't have time to write up all that now. I'm just reeling from all the awesomeness and explosiveness that's still lingering in my head. One does not simply shake off the after-effects of watching THE AVENGERS in action within a few hours! :boromir: 

But I gotta tell you this, this movie is a MUST WATCH. 

Trust me, the movie's wayy better than it looks.

Dark Shadows however, was ok. But just barely. I expected more from such a good combination that delivered awesome movies before. Sleepy Hollow, Alice In Wonderland, Sweeny Todd, Edward Scissorhands, need I say more? Ditto for the review. Not sure when, but soon. :) 

God I'm tired. Well, after all that, who wouldn't be? :) 

See ya ! (night crawling mode : off)

Here's a quickie.

Guess what? Today I woke up early. Real early! Like around 7 for some reason. Naturally, I tried to sway back to dreamland but I couldn't sleep. So I spruced up myself clean and fresh and had my breakfast, after so long. Normally, I'll only wake up in time for lunch so that was a lil awkward lol. As I was pondering on things to do for the day- several in my mind, it suddenly started pouring down. I couldn't belive my eyes! Of all the days! And at that very moment my eyes started to close and I felt real sleepy. Damn! It always happens when it rains! And here I thought I could at least be productive for once. Is that wrong  Mommy Earth? -___-

Soo at around 10 I went back to bed, slept like a baby and just got up moments ago. Pfft what a total waste of a day. I thought it was a waste since I woke up so early. I could have found cure to cancer! Or I could have invented something like a time-machine. Guess that was not to be haha! Anyways I'm going out for a movie later with my pals so today's not going to be so wasteful after all. Be back later. Got something interesting in my mind to spill out ;)

Cheerio! :)

Learning from the past is the key to future.

As I sat there glued infront of my laptop (I thought it was pointless to watch the matches on telly since I thought the race was officially over last week), following the commentary for the Man.City vs QPR game with the full time moments away from being indicated, I barely could contain myself. The Citizens were losing 1-2. LOSING. And we, the Red Devils were moments, or rather a measly 3 minutes away from winning our 20th EPL title. 3 EFFING MINUTES! And City needed to score two more goals to overthrow us and pull off an upset. A MIRACLE in short. And yet I felt indifferent. Like something was wrong somewhere and things somehow won't favor us anymore. Why? Because I know we did not deserve to win the title this year despite having problems all season. Does that make me a bad fan? To have felt all those stuff when I'm supposed to be a through and through die-hard supporter? I don't think so but that's EXACTLY what happened. City managed to pull off the comeback of the decade in the dying milliseconds of the game and FINALLY win the title. That was it. It was gone in a flash.
GAME OVER! How they managed it, I haven't a notion. Though I was expecting it, I was still shell-shocked. City was throwing the kitchen sink at old Sparky's team after they conceded the second goal but to no avail. Then a stoppage time of 5 minutes was indicated. Some said it was too long, but I thought it was fair, owing it to the whole Barton fiasco and his sending off shortly after half-time. Still I never thought it was enough for City to make a totally unexpected comeback. For nearly 45 minutes, they struggled to penetrate the Rangers' parked bus behind the ball. It was like watching Barcelona and Chelsea playing all over again. Except in this case the attacking bunch triumphed. And how! As I was restlessly awaiting the commentary, my jaw dropped at the sight of these words -


90+2 - GOAL City!!! City with their 18th corner and Dzeko heads off the equalizer!!! CAN THEY SCORE THE WINNER!?? Lets wait and see.


Dzeko?? He was still alive? How in tarnation did a player, who last scored months back and went missing for several weeks, suddenly pop up from nowhere and score one of the most important goals he ever scored in his whole life?? My word! Still one goal wasn't enough for them I thought. Getting another goal is going to be tough for them I thought. But guess what the fate had in store?


90+4 - GOAL CITYYYYYYY!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!! Aguero scores a superb goal, weaving his way into the penalty box and firing past the stranded kenny! AMAZING scenes at Etihad!! And CITY HAS RESCUED IT AT THE DEATH IN THE MOST DRAMATIC CIRCUMSTANCES. WHAT A COMEBACK! AND THEY ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF ENGLAND!!!


At this point, I was frozen to the spot, my eyes nearly popping out and my jaw dropping even more, unable to believe those words flashing before my eyes. "What the flaming **** just happened here?" I remembered thinking then. And then the final whistle blew and the cup,which was practically safe and sound in our rightful hands minutes before, flew away to our damned neighbours' kennel. And this pretty much sums up how I felt then.

Unbelievable isn't it?

But I wasn't thinking about the match anymore. While most of United fans were drowned in bitter disappointment, I wasn't. Oddly. Why didn't I give a shit? Why wasn't I crying? Has the passion and anger that had flared inside me, when we had lost 1-6 at home to City and when we drew with Everton, disappeared? Its actually very simple. Things happened the way they were SUPPOSED to happen. Had City lost and we had lifted the title instead, people would be saying we got away with it, and the victory was purely fluke. But, after Sergio Aguero's miracle goal which was a winner both on the day and for the entire season, it felt like the right team were going to be crowned champions. We hoped for miracles. Being a United fan, its natural. But we depended on QPR to pull off a miracle. Like Owen did when we won 4-3, years back. And that's not right for us, is it?

As much as I wish Manchester United were the ones celebrating here,
they deserve it, hands down.

My thoughts flew to the matches weeks back. The ones we totally screwed up! Wigan, Everton and who else but City. As I recollected everything, it made sense. City deserving the title I mean. It hurts me to say this, but we needed the wake up call. We must learn to not depend on a singular person, as was the case during the match against Wigan when we badly missed Scholes. We must learn not to be complacent when we're well ahead during a match and that anything can happen, which we later witnessed at Etihad. I know I'm not supposed to question Sir Alex's decisions and tactics but I don't get him sometimes. The team he fielded against City, flocking the middle with 5 midfielders, each with flaws of their own, especially Park, didn't make sense at all. We were playing the game that could ultimately decide the title race and it boils down to two things that we should do. Or either. That we must either ATTACK or DEFEND. But we didn't do both. We were being overrun in midfield and our defenders were chasing shadows. Our passing and pushing up were totally pointless. Imagine not having a single shot on target. Anyways, the milk has gone stale and nothing can be done to change the past.Yes we could blame the injuries, blunder by refs and the over-reliance on Paul Scholes. But we musn't forget the games that spelled our fate either, the Everton and Wigan games in particular which came back to haunt us in the end. All we can do now is look back and learn from our mistakes. This could be a blessing in disguise. We learned it the hard way but it will make us stronger. I know we will rise again.


Also there was something else I observed. City's fans, some, are seriously a bunch of filthy hypocrites. Some were seen leaving the stadium during the last ten minutes of the game. Shameful isn't it? Well I guess that's what happens when you jump ships from Chelsea and City and still get shit results and decide to switch back just to hunt for glory. Absolute disgrace I call it. Bunch of soreheads. If you can't put a faith in a team and be with them till the final whistle is blown, well don't support any. If you can't share the agony and sorrow with your team, don't come back to share the joy. I can say the same about some United fans too, sadly.

What are we ever gonna do without him?

Yeah as long as he's loaded, he doesn't need any.
Who said money can't buy happiness?

Overall, it was the best EPL season ever in my opinion. What drama! What entertainment!! The adrenaline rush throughout the season was like never before. I'll post the best moments of the EPL 2011-2012 season soon. I hope next season will be the same or better :)


We survived when The Invincibles surfaced, we fought back the Russian Revolution and we will have our revenge against The Rising Blue Moon. Faith and belief is what being a Manchester United fan's all about. Manchester is blue for now but it will be painted its rightful colour soon-
 RED.

Till death do us apart. GGMU!

Voilaa! The pics from 'A Game Of Shadows'. :D

Holmes and his trusty pal, Dr.Watson.

Holmes forgets Watson's marriage, which is TOMORROW.
And he's supposed to be the best man for the wedding LOL.

Not exactly the ideal prep before a wedding huh?

During the wedding haha! Nanny, wake the best man up!

Watson's mutt and Holmes' unfortunate experiment target-
Gladstone. God knows how many times
he survived Holmes' countless experiments. 

Sherlock: Don't you have a goat that needs worming?
Nanny: Oh how kind of you to remind me. So much to look forward to.

two nations, which shall remain nameless, but I can
tell you they speak French and German.

Holmes : I agree its not my best disguise but I had to make do.

He looks rather like Joker here, doesn't he? 

Two of the greatest minds ever. Sherlock and Professor James Moriarty.
P.S- I've always wanted the pipe. :O

Watson: (Baffled) What are we doing down here?
Holmes: *We* are waiting, *I* am smoking.

Well? Is it? We are all waiting. :)

Hope you all enjoyed these pics. I'll be back, so stay tuned :)

A fresh new start. :)

I had an old blog which I created years ago but my ultra-awesome memory enabled me to successfully forget the email and its password -.-  EPIC FAIL. But I only posted once there so it doesn't really matter actually lol. But I'm currently on a month long break now so I thought I could start doing something useful instead of just horsing around and getting myself in trouble. Soo here am I again, ready to rant, ramble and yack. :)

Its been pretty much the same routine for two weeks now. Games, movies, football, SLEEPING, EATING, bugging siblings and mainly driving aimlessly around. Of course you can easily guess the TWO THINGS I am really good at doing till now haha! And now its fat city. -.- Funnily enough I thought I could use some exercise during the break buuuut fate had other ideas to keep me occupied with. Dayumm haha. Gotta start working out soon else I might need to clothes to start off my new semester. :O

By the way, I tried doing some odd jobs around my neighborhood like pulling weed,washing cars and other stuff but I managed earn only a little.  20 bucks to be exact. -___- And here I thought I could buy all the things I've been wanting for quite some time now. New futsal shoes, a guitar and a new pendrive.(The old one ran away) What a bummer! Earning some GREEN is seriously tougher than I first thought. :O

On a brighter note, I managed to watch some movies I wanted to watch during my break. One of them is Sherlock Holmes : A Game Of Shadows. I wanted to watch it in theater like the first one but them pesky exams were around. :/ But I managed get hold of the movie eventually. Don't ask me how but i'll give you a hint. :P

Yarrr' tis' isn't what it looks like mateyy' 

Don't blame me! My wallet's on a diet and this is the last option I'd had. :P I'll buy the DVD soon though just for the sake of the movie and my immense respect for the entire cast. I don't want to specify but soon. :P

Anywaaays, Ever since I watched the first one, I found myself restlessly and impatiently waiting for the sequel. And how awesome it turned out to be! :D From what I've heard, Guy Ritchie ( Director of the movies and Madonna's Ex- Husband) didn't exactly follow the legendary books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle but both the movies had been very entertaining and witty especially the sequel. In fact, the game of shadows is way better than the first one in my opinion. And you'll be hard put to find movie franchises that gets better with each following sequels.

Now on to the movie. (Spoilers alert!!) 


Basically its about Sherlock Holmes ( Robert Downey Jr) and his closest mate Dr. John Watson joining forces to bring down their most cunning foe to date, Professor James Moriarty ( Jared Harris). Holmes is apparently trying to avert a possible war between France and Germany which Moriarty wants to provoke so he can make a fortune selling weaponry and bandages to both sides. To do so, Moriarty makes it look like anarchists are bombing the key sites and killing off key members of the nations. Along the way, Holmes and Watson ran into Simza the Gypsy fortune teller, who narrowly escapes death (helped by Holmes of course) and helps them in their mission to foil ol' Moriarty's dirty plans.She also has a brother who has been recruited by Moriarty for some evil plan. 


The climax revolves around the peace conference and the happenings there which turns to be the most exciting part of the movie. When it was all over, I still wasn't quite clear what actually happened though lol. But trust me, the movie was really really good. Robert Downey Jr recently entered my list of favorite actors ever since Iron Man and he stamps his mark all over the movie with his superb acting and comedy timing. Jude Law, who I thought wasn't suitable at all to play such a contrasting character at first, surprised me here as well with an equally strong performance. Too bad Rachael McAdams (plays Irene Adler- Sherly's love interest) doesn't get much screen space here. You'll know why when you watch the movie. Also, I forgot to mention, Sherlock's brother, Mycroft( Stephen Fry) makes a cameo here.  Small but a memorable and a funny one. Also a round one. :P


Overall, the movie was very entertaining, clever and funny in most parts too. :D My favorite was during Watson's stag party; attended only by Sherlock and his brother since Sherlock forgot to invite the unfortunate doctor's other friends, and the wedding the next day, where the hung-over Watson and the bruised and dirty Sherlock drag themselves to the altar so his Watson can get married. The whole scene was so darn funnily taken LOL. Also, the chemistry between Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law is absolutely splendid. You'll get cracked up more than a few times throughout the film just because of these two buggers.  The CGI, cinematography and slo-mo action scenes were superb and breathtaking too. Don't miss the war of wits towards the end of movie between Sherly and James as they are too awesome and dangerously juicy to be missed. They even get to play chess here. Also,
unlike the first movie, Holmes has finally found a true, intelligent and compelling adversary in Prof James Moriarty. His role was powerful enough for you to despise him throughout. Trust me, the movie will immerse you within the first few minutes and at the end, it'll leave you craving for more! And you will get your full share of entertainment from this movie. :)


By the way, I have yet to read the books yet but I do have the complete set. And this time I have the real paperback books, not the pirated pdf's if that's what you're thinking LOL. 
Cost me enough for me to just survive on bread together with 


PB & J  for weeks. -____-  WEEKS I tell ya. Still I think it was worth the investment. :) These are works of art and nothing in this earth gives you a better feeling and satisfaction than reading your favourite books on a dark,rainy night and sipping away on some nice, hot chocolate while sitting on an extremely comfy and cosy armchair. I pictured it to a T didn't I? haha!
But, all I need is time.


Lots and LOTS of it.  And 24 hours per day is NOT enough. :/


I'll post some pics of memorable scenes from the movie soon. Also, I'll most probably do  some ramblings on the latest from the most beautiful game on earth and a little on American Idol if time permits me. Also, if i stop procrastinating on other stuff ;)
Wait for it aight guys! :)


So long! :) Till the next time.
