i thinks this is great.
today's society tht tends to wanna be involved in ads, be a voice.
original Monster.com ad:
one tht i like:
Agency: Meyocks Group
Use: ADDY Awards intro (this is the Oscars for Advertising peeps)
Descrīption: Spoof of Monster's "When I Grow Up" campaign
which brings me to this recommendation...
i strongly encourage EVERYONE who wants to understand the design business AND MOST IMPORTANTLY how creative ad ppl are thinking or method of thinking (vice versa) to PLEASE READ THIS...THE BRAND GAP: How To Bridge The Distance Between Business Strategy And Designby Marty Neumeier
this book really helps, and it's not like dictionary. it's fun. only $20. one of the book to MUST HAVE in your bookshelf.
enjoy!

EVENT
Module @ VOLAR, Hong Kong on Juen 26th, Thursday!
MOVIE REVIEW [haven't done this for a while...]
been seeing this movie laying around virgin megastore DVD rack for a LONG time. always tempted to buy it but waited till last week tht finally, I DECIDED TO GET IT. hahaha!
(note to self: i have to control my movie buying temptation. every time i step into virgin, i ended up spending $30. i control my budget to $35 MAX. hahaha! hence, i only visit virgin like once every 2 months. the other 2 movies i got, Schindler's List and The Triplets of Belleville.)
love this movie. edward norton, definitely my #2 favorite actor. edward furlong is amazing too. esp the scene where he cry by his computer writing his essay while thinking back how his older brother, Derek, started to be influence with racism from his dad.
i LOVE the cinematography in this movie. esp all the close up shots with AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL LIGHTING, BOTH in black and white shots and color shots. stunned. love love love where it cuts to slow motion action. a very beautiful movie FULL with emotions here and there.
my favorite quote:
"Has anything you've done made your life better?" - Bob Sweeney
this is SO TRUE. i'm keeping this in mind.
great closing quote:
"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory... ...will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature." - Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural address
**short recap of past movies i have watched:
Sweeney Todd
:: bad. i personally think mr Johnny D is good, but definitely not as good as getting an award for his role in there. don't get me wrong, he's my #1 favorite actor, but i think this one, is BAD decision. hahaha! it felt more like a bunch of friends (Depp, Bruton and his wife) wanted to get together and make a movie. hmm...a Disney movie indeed. tht's my conclusion.
Darjeelling Limited
:: i love The Royal Tenenbaums hence i wanted to watch this. Wes Anderson. erm...this can be better. but it's full with Wes style. many things are going on at the same time yet you seem to be able to focus on the main action. hahaha! it's sorta like you are sneaking around watching ppl's life. hahah! (note: tht's actually what i like to do while taking photos of people. i always try to be invisible, capture their most candid shot.) never really watch his older (or newer?) movies, but will definitely check it out when i find them. LOL!
LOVE the idea for the train. the behind the scene extras on the DVD made the train way more special. i like they figure out the challenge of having the camera and crew to be shooting on a real train instead of a studio set up. not sure about the whole storyline but i like Adrien Brody. :P
just thought to include a Wes AmEx commercial to visualize what i meant of his style of movie directing(?). i love this ad though.
PERSONAL
...this needs to be in another blog. but preview, i'm starting to get angry with my roommate/friend that i care about that i don't like getting mad at but i can't help it...
(to be continue)
RANDOM
FireFox Version 3
:: has ANYONE downloaded or use this version that was being launched a week ago? I PERSONALLY VERY VERY DISLIKES IT. it has turned into a Safari template/color scheme. i already made a comment to FF peeps. :P
i note it as:
A// reason i use FF is cause of its simple, graphic and COLORFUL interface/theme/color scheme.
B// now it becomes too technical/mechanical in such grayish matte color effects. definitely made me think of Safari when i'm using it. makes me feel gloomy.
BUT the functionality of the version is great. only tthe aesthetic part...*shrug*
so...hopefully fun colorful FF will come back.
