i’ve never been to any movie premiere. not until last nite. someone took me to the premiere of ruma maida a movie by teddy soeriaatmadja & ayu utami. |
the invitation is at 8 pm but not until 9.30 pm the movie started. i kept wishing the movie won’t be as weird as banyu biru. and it wasn’t.

last book i read: oeroeg- hella s. hasse *just realized i saw the movie a few years ago*

we watched inglourious basterds last weekend. it was one of the best movie this year but i don’t want to watch it more than once. because, like typical tarantino, it has too many blood.
i talked to this guy (he watched the movie twice) and he told me about some deleted scenes. there supposed to be madame mimieux, played by maggie cheung, but i didn’t see her anywhere in the movie. |
maybe i can see the scene later in the dvd uncut version, but then i have to watch the movie more than once

 |

|
|
want to watch cloudy with a chance of meatballs. |
|
|
finished reading the ‘ensiklopedia’. the lost symbol is not as good as dan brown’s previous books, but still worth to read. |
|
|
now reading: sea of poppies by amitav ghosh. |
|
|

after recommendation from a friend, i watched le renad et l’enfant (the fox and the child) |
|
|
from the same director as march of the penguins |
|
|
it’s a french movie, so it’s sloooooow |
|
|
i watched the one dubbed into english with kate winslet as the narrator’s voice. |
|
|
if you’re an animal lover, you’d wish you live in the child’s neighborhood. |
|
|
if you’re into nature photography, you’d wish you visit the area. |
|
|
my fave scene was when the child woke up, she found a ladybug on her hair. |

nadine labaki, one of the girl in the movie, is the director of the movie |
|
|
caramel is lebanese’s oscar submission in 2008 (indonesia submitted denias). |
|
|
i didn’t know that lebanon was under french, so the use many french words in their arabic conversation |
|
|
caramel is the ingredient used for waxing, but the waxing method here is a bit different than the one that i know, they don’t used any fabric to pull the caramel from the skin. |
|
|
when i typed this post, i kept writing libya instead of lebanon

watched in search of midnight kiss. a lovely indie movie you should watch. i didn’t realize it was black and white until i checked about the movie in imdb. |
|
got the other hand by chris cleave at sukarno hatta airport and finished reading it. an interesting book to read, about something i’ve never known before: oil war in nigeria. |
|
now reading: remember me? by sophie kinsella |
|
i almost run out of books to read!  |
|
going to add a new furniture in my room, but not a bookshelf. |

|
now i can’t decided which one is better, the nightmare before christmas or coraline? ok, the nighmare before christmas is still better, but coraline impressed me so much. when i saw the opening credit of the movie, i knew i was going to like it.
maybe because this is more update stop motion, so the pictures look much better. in fact, coraline is the longest stop motion to date.
