Remembering the Master

Hello Youtubes!
Yesterday November 27th, was Bruce Lee's birthday. If he's alive today, he'd be 71 years old. If he's alive today, we'd be feeling the earth tremble and hearing thunder everyday as Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris trade punches and kicks.

Enter the Dragon is a lot of people's favorite but, my favorite Bruce Lee movie of all time is Way of the Dragon:



Awesome video DaneTheConquerer!

The music is done by Ennio Morricone. The composer who did a lot of the Spaghetti Western themes including The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Super Megafest 2011

Super Megafun!
Super Megafest 2011 happened last weekend on November 19th and 20th at the Sheraton Hotel in Framingham, MA. With Thanksgiving happening in the U.S. on November 24th, 4 days after the convention, I had a very busy week and some bad allergies so, I didn't get a chance to talk about Super Megafest 2011 until now.

Super Megafest is a smaller convention compared to the ones I attended in the past year. But as a wise Jedi once said, "Size matters not." As Super Megafest had a great guest list which included Patrick Stewart who made an appearance on Saturday. I didn't get to meet Captain Picard but for the lucky people who did meet him, they assured me that he's awesome and nice. Maybe I'll get to meet him at future conventions. I did get to meet Sean Astin (Samwise Gamgee of Lord of the Rings) again. I first met him at the Museum of Science of Boston a while back. He autographed his book There and Back Again: An Actor's Tale and Rudy for me all those years ago. This time, I finally got my copy of The Goonies and the insert of Return of the King signed. I also chatted with him for a bit and was able to sneak in for a photo op. He's super nice and down to earth. It might not seem like much reading my testaments here about how nice the celebrities are but, once you get to meet a snarky and jaded celebrity you'll be more appreciative with the nice ones. I also met the man who donned the Sauron armor in Lord of the Rings, Sala Baker. We got to talking about how he wanted to play professional basketball but ended up being an actor. He was excited to be in Boston and wish he had more time to explore. He especially wanted to go to the Museum of Science. Alright MoS, my former employer, I'd plugged you a few times at the convention and on this blog. Where's my commission? At least send me some free stuff. I also got to shake hands with Jeremy Bulloch, the badass bounty hunter Boba Fett from Star Wars. Moments later, I realized I forgot to bring my Boba Fett Star Wars trading card for him to sign! WTF?! Ugh! EPIC FAIL! If I never get to see him again, this will haunt me for the rest of my life.

I got Mickey's and Peter's autograph so far
Peter Tork of the Monkees was there as well. He still has his humor and was very nice to his fans. He also played in the Saturday night concert with his current band, the Shoe Suede Blues. I'm not going to lie, my expectations for the Saturday night concert was very low and I was very wrong to expect that. I thought I'd made a mistake while waiting in line to get into the concert. For the most part, Super Megafest was well coordinated but, there were some hiccups and waiting for the concert was one of them. As I was waiting in line, I saw my cosplayer friends pile into the hotel bar and I was wondering if I should skip the concert. I heard a lot of yelling and laughing coming from the bar and was losing my patience with the wait to get into a concert that I didn't have high expectations for. I could be in the bar sharing silly shenanigans with my cosplayer friends! I was glad I waited though. Once the concert started it was fantastic from beginning to the end. My mind was blown as to how awesome it was. Yet, I still wanted to spend time at the bar though. Only if there were two of me. If only...

The Days We Spent Together

一起走過的日子
This screen cap is from A Moment of Romance (天若有情) which doesn't include一起走過的日子 in the soundtrack. For some reason I keep thinking it's attached to the movie. The song fits the movie so well. Instead, the song was attached to Lung Fung Restaurant (龍鳳茶樓) and Casino Raiders 2 (至尊無上II永霸天下).

When Andy Lau's (劉德華) 一起走過的日子 (The Days We Spent Together) was released in August of 1991, it topped the Hong Kong charts over night and rapidly climbed the charts in Asia. It didn't end there, the song quickly spread throughout America and got a lot of people to sing karaoke. Back then, most people in America didn't know what Karaoke was (is it edible? Like a Carrot?). It started a craze and everyone and their mothers were singing 一起走過的日子. Literally, their mothers. The song featured a traditional Chinese instrument, the 二胡 (erhu). This traditional instrument mixed nicely with a contemporary sound which added a flavor of culture into the 90's Hong Kong Pop scene. The 二胡's (erhu) melancholic strings drew a lot of the older Chinese listeners while Andy Lau's (劉德華) star power drew the younger crowd. Andy was known for his acting abilities and was just beginning to get hot in his singing career. 一起走過的日子 not only fanned the flames of that fire, the song made Andy into more than just an idol. He was named one of the Four Heavenly Kings (四大天王) in Hong Kong. Probably the first of the Heavenly Kings and definitely the most popular of the four. Even til this day, he is a force to be reckon with. 一起走過的日子 also caught the attention of people whom had no interest in Hong Kong Pop Culture and got them listening to CantoPop. Even if you haven't heard of Andy Lau, most likely you've seen a movie that Andy had starred in or involved in someway or another. Have you ever heard of a little movie called The Departed? Matt Damon's role in The Departed is the parallel of Andy's role in the original Hong Kong version, Infernal Affairs (無間道). Where were you when 一起走過的日子 topped the charts? Did we spend those days together?

作詞: 小美    作曲: 胡偉立

如何面對 曾一起走過的日子
現在剩下我獨行 如何讓心聲一一講你知
從來無人明白我 唯一你給我好日子

有你有我有情有生有死有義
多少風波都願闖 只因彼此不死的目光
有你有我有情有天有海有地
不可猜測總有天意 才珍惜相處的日子
道別話亦未多講 只拋低這個傷心的漢子

沉沉睡了 誰分享今生的日子
活著但是沒靈魂 才明白生死之間的意思
情濃完全明白了 才甘心披上孤獨衣

有你有我有情有天有海有地
當天一起不自知 分開方知根本心極痴
有你有我有情有生有死有義
只想解釋當我不智 如今想傾訴講誰知

剩下絕望舊身影 今只得千億傷心的句子
剩下絕望舊身影 今只得千億傷心的句子

Doctor Who: Happy 48th!


It's Doctor Who's 48th Anniversary! There's much to rejoice and there's dancing! Everyone dances! Including the Doctor and... have you ever seen an Ood dance? GuarroRock has another great video that was shown during David Tennant's wrap party.

Super Megafest 2011: Videos

Hello Youtubes!

In this very special edition of "Hello Youtubes" I'm doing a shameless plug for myself! Hello and welcome to grog1138's channel. I went to Super Megafest during the weekend of November 19th - 20th in Framingham, MA. It was an awesome time and the cosplayers who attended raised that awesomeness to the nth power! Here's a few videos I captured of:


  • The Costume Contest's early line up
  •  
  • Captain Jack Sparrows and the revolving door
  •  
  • R2D2, Kid Anakin, Kid Leia and the New Hampshire Ghostbusters.
  •  
  • The videos after the "JUMP" are of the Super Megafest concert on Saturday night. Peter Tork of the Monkees and his band Shoe Suede Blues were there that night performing their original blues and some of the Monkees' music. Sorry about the extra shaky cam. I'm new to video recording.

Doctor Who: 2011 Christmas Special Trailer


The trailer for the 2011 Christmas Special is up! "In a forest in a box in a sitting room?" What's going on? Mr. Tumnus? We'll find out in a little more than a month!

Midnight Kiss

午夜的吻別

Seemingly out of nowhere Aaron Kwok (郭富城) stormed the CantoPop scene with his 1991 album 到底有誰能夠告訴我 (If Only Someone Would Tell Me). If ONLY someone would tell us to prepare for the Mandarin invasion. For decades Cantonese lyrics dominated the Hong Kong music industry ever since Sam Hui (許冠傑) popularized it. A lot of us grew up with Cantonese pop culture and we would refuse to listen to Mandarin music or watch movies in Mandarin simply because we don't understand the dialect. Then in the early 90's Mandarin made a come back with artists like Aaron Kwok and Jimmy Lin (林志穎). Even established CantoPop artists such as Leon Lai (黎明), Andy Lau (劉德華) and Jacky Cheung (張學友) would have to produce a Mandarin album every year along with their Cantonese albums in order to stay in the game. Along with the music we grew a comfort to Mandarin and ultimately appreciated the diversity of dialects and languages of not just Chinese pop culture but with Asian pop culture as a whole. We grew out of the island. Do we have Aaron Kwok to thank for this?

午夜的吻別 (Midnight Kiss) was the last song on the A side of the 到底有誰能夠告訴我 (If Only Someone Would Tell Me) album. With a soothing guitar melody and longing lyrics Aaron reminds us that it is tough to leave that special someone after a kiss goodnight. Haters can hate all they want (including myself) but, Aaron earned his place with the 4 Heavenly Kings of CantoPop (四大天王). How many male singers can hit those high notes? Also, how many singers can choreograph their own dance moves? Aaron first started his career as a TVB back up dancer. His biggest influence is Michael Jackson and he aspired to be like him. In his own right, I can safely say that Aaron didn't do too shabby being one of the biggest idols in Hong Kong history. There's no dancing in the video below for 午夜的吻別 (Midnight Kiss). I'll cover that part of Aaron Kwok later but, in the meantime, come reminisce with me. Which goodnight kiss do you remember most?

powerofwe's channel
The sound is a little funky because this video is ripped from a karaoke VCD where the left and right channel is separated. Left being instrumental only and right having Aaron's singing. If you know the song you can shut off your right channel and sign along with the music.

輕輕的說聲 Good night
耳畔穿梭的風
是我深情的夢
人漸漸散去 夜漸漸冷卻
世界剩下我和你

輕輕的說聲 Good night
印在臉龐的吻
是否你也會懂
夜已經沉醉 燈光也熄滅
轉載來自 魔鏡歌詞網
我的心跳動不停

午夜的吻別
就像星星燃燒不睡
捨不得離去 怕自己空虛
把你留在夢裡

午夜的吻別
就像海洋狂熱不定
多盼望明天 愛不會改變
天天送你回家
直到永遠

Chrono Trigger: Doctor Who?

Time paradox! The universe is going to go all explodey! Frog is tripping over books! Actually... maybe? I'm not sure how the incident shown in the video below fits into Chrono Trigger's timeline and if we'd still get new game plus after.

Test Your Might!

Hello Youtubes!
Come back to 1995 with me and let's go to Circle Cinema to watch Mortal Kombat!

Nice video emochan!


Immortals


Oh my gods! Immortals was visually amazing! I can forgive the shortcomings of the movie thanks to the direction, costume design, set design and Freida Pinto. If you are familiar with Greek mythology it's best to leave that at home. They took Theseus' story and did their own thing with it. Don't expect to see the minotaur as a beast. He's just a man in headgear and Theseus' labyrinth challenge is only a second thought in the movie. Just don't expect to see a faithful translation of the classic. Immortals tells Theseus' story in it's own way and I'm not complaining.

Immortals skims on the border of beauty lacking substance but, under Tarsem Singh's (The Cell) meticulous direction, each frame in his movies serves a purpose. Unlike other certain directors, Tarsem Singh's choice of aesthetics is not an arbitrary placement of props and actors. He somehow does it with the illusion that he was able to catch that one perfect angle at the right moment. The entire run of Immortals is like a moving 3D painting and to enjoy the movie to the fullest, you'll have to watch it in 3D at the theaters. Some of the grander shots were done in super wide HD, creating depth perception instead of having things seemingly poking the audience in the eye. Actually, there was one scene when Helios' hammer was thrown towards the foreground. The hammer hurled in the air and it breaks the 4th dimension by seemingly cracking the lens of the camera. I can't do Immortals justice by talking about it. If I had to use one word to describe this movie it would be "Beautiful." Immortals definitely won me over. It seems that Tarsem Singh has a high appreciation and a deep passion for film making. Even though the writing of Immortals is weak at certain points, I still enjoyed it as a movie "experience." A concept that a lot of recent film makers seemed to have forgotten. Even during one of the slower scenes when Theseus (Henry Cavill) was talking to Phaedra (Freida Pinto) in some ruins with the dark blue night sky behind them, I can't keep my eyes off of the film. During other movies, that'd be my cue to take a bathroom break.


I still haven't mentioned much about the Gods yet! It's been hours since I watched the movie and I still can't make up my mind if the depiction of the Greek Gods was a disappointment or not. It was definitely different. I really like the concept of the Greek Gods not looking old or middle aged. They are young and beautiful as they are immortals. They moved much faster and a lot stronger than mortals (which they should be). The film interpreted this with high speed super slow motion (same technique used in 300), then coupled with the 3D... you just got to see it. Just prepare for some divine fun when the Gods show up for a fight. Theseus already displays a good amount of heroic feats in the movie but Zeus (Luke Evans) and company adds a bunch of kick ass incentive. The movie definitely make it apparent why they won Heaven over the Titans.

Then there are the Titans... to me they represent the drawbacks of Immortalas. I like Immortals a lot. Just as much as I like Tron: Legacy but, to look at Immortals objectively as a movie, definitely there were flaws. The movie starts off explaining that the Titans were powerful and even feared by the Gods. The first shot of the movie shows the Titans in their prison under Mount Tartarus. Even with their importance, they are very generic. There's no distinction between each Titan, no personality. They just seemed like some sort of dark demons. Nothing special. Same with some of the Gods. Without their armor to tell them apart, I'm not sure which God was which (safe for Zeus and Athena). Near the end when the company of Gods show up to fight the Titans, there were two Gods in the group whom I have no idea who they were. They all look the same. Also, some of the motivations can be left as movie logic. I am confused about Lysander's (Joseph Morgan) purpose. Then there was one scene when Theseus gives a heroic speech to a demoralized Hellenic army. After the speech, they just followed him blindly even though, he was condemned to be a bastard during the beginning of the movie.


But, I am willing to forgive all the flaws. Immortals is visually stunning and I just love the abstract style. A lot of the credit definitely goes to Tarsem Singh's direction but, Eiko Ishioka's (Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Cell) costume design adds a big part to the palette. Along with the amazing set designs done by Jean Kazemirchuk, Michele Laliberte and Michael Manson the movie gives off a surrealistic feel that this Greek Myth is alive in an epic painting. And as for the action, Jean Frenette's choreographer is kinetic poetry. I'm not sure who filmed the fights, whether it was Tarsem Singh or Jean Frenette, the action was done with wide shots and full takes. You can see each slash, each punch, each spin... during the fight between Theseus and Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) you can clearly see the wrestling techniques used as the camera pans around them. This is a lot better than using quick edits as a trickery to energize the action. There were some quick edits in Immortals but it was done sparingly.

I'd like to end with saying that all the actors in Immortals gave a worthy performance. John Hurt always does a great job. I want to see more of Freida Pinto. Not just because she's pretty but this is the third film I'd seen her in and it never looks as though she "phones" in her performance. Henry Cavill was able to play Theseus as more than a one dimensional character. With heroes, especially with Greek heroes, it's tough to portray them as more than their representation. I'm interested to see what Henry Cavill can do with Zack Snyder's Superman. Mickey Rourke was able to portray King Hyperion as sympathetic but yet charismatically monstrous. The only complaint I have of him is that he slurs a lot of his lines and when he puts on his mask, I have no idea what he's saying. I recommend checking out Immortals in the theater, only if you have no problem with abstract art. The scenes with the Greek Gods is worth the admission. Don't expect an action film though. There were more than a few slow moments.




RATING:
4/5

Lover's Concerto

Kelly Chen
陳慧琳

Lover's Concerto

1998
The butterfly followed its antennae and found the blue flower pattern on her dress. She looked at it curiously wondering what it was doing on her lap. Before she can find an answer, the butterfly fluttered away. She watched it floating towards a new purpose. When the florid pilgrim flew out of site, she turned to me and smiled. At that moment I looked into her eyes and time ran askew. We were able to capture the instance in a floating loop of infinity. All the seasons blended together as the entire spectrum of the rainbow spiraled around us . Nothing else seemed to matter. We were untouchable, we were immortal... so it was... until, a few droplets of rain broke the spell. It's uncanny how such a delicate allurement was able to create such a powerful feeling. Disenchanted but still enamored, I reached for her hand. As our fingers touched, we felt the ozone ionizing. Like a scene from a movie we might have shared, the radio played Lover's Concerto as the smell of rain and the caress of summer's breeze hinted nostalgia. While we were reminiscing about the future, Kelly Chen's haunted voice transmitted from the radio and escaped into the atmosphere, swimming up against the rain. It fought the electrical barrage of the incoming storm. Up and up it went, penetrating through clouds, breaking Earth's gravity well, it reached the freedom of space. While holding onto the promise that "everything will be just as wonderful," the song traveled through void and vacuum, grazing the meadows of nebulae and stars. For what might seemed to be forever, it broadcasted its notes as it echoed through the desert of space and time. Near journey's end, the mathematical equation of harmony still stayed true to itself even when it flirted with the spiral of a galaxy before entering the solar system. It aimed towards a blue planet, surrendering itself to the pull of gravity and, breaking into atmosphere. The song serenaded the clouds as it floated down in a wave like gentle rain. The melody reached a pair of antennae and softly whispered to it, "keep this day in your heart eternally."


I like this fan made video more then the official one.
Thanks to nalmun for the sweet video.

歌手:陳慧琳

How gentle is the rain,
that falls softly on the meadow.
Birds high up on the trees,
serenade the clouds
with their melodies.*

Repeat *

Oh!
See there beyond the hill,
the bright colors of the rainbow.
Some magic from above.
Made this day for us, just to fall in love.
You'll hold me in your arms,
and say once again you'll love me.
And that your love is true,
everything will be just as wonderful.

Now, I belong to you,
from this day until forever.
Just love me tenderly
and I'll give to you
every part of me.

Oh!
Don't ever make me cry,
through long lonely nights without us.
Be always true to me,
keep this day in your heart eternally.

You hold me in your arms,
and say once again you love me.
And that your love is true,
everything will be just as wonderful.

R.I.P. Ricky Hui (1946-2011)

難忘的許冠英


It's usually cool to be a fan of more than one pop culture. The benefits of having cross cultural fandom is being able to enjoy movies, music, and at the basis, culture in more than one language and perspective. Then there are times when it's tough. Twice the happiness, twice the sadness. With the passing of Joe Frazier and Ricky Hui (許冠英), it's a rough week already and it's only Tuesday! Ricky Hui passed away at age 65 on November 8, 2011 from a heart attack. Ricky is the middle of the Hui Brothers, Michael Hui (許冠文) being the oldest brother and Sam Hui (許冠傑) being the youngest. All three brothers changed the face of Hong Kong pop culture in the 70's and 80's using their talents as prolific writers, musicians and starred in a bunch of movies. Ricky was not in the media spot light as much as Michael and Sam. He said that he was very shy and that is the reason why he doesn't do more movies and sing as much as his other brothers. You might remember him in Jackie Chan's(成龍) Project A (A 計劃續集). It didn't matter if he had a small role or a fleeting cameo, Ricky Hui was a lot of fun to watch and he made a lasting impression in Chinese Cinema and enriched Chinese Pop Culture. 多謝許冠英!

Warping Time (sort of)

Hello Youtubes!

Over here in the U.S. we are at the end of Daylight Saving Time and returning to Standard Time. It means we turn our clocks back one hour (fall back, spring forward). The way I see it, I get an extra hour of sleep or, I'm time traveling back an hour and with that hour gained, I get a second chance at something or another. Kind of like Back to the Future. Which by coincidence, the flux capacitor was conceived by Doc Brown on November 5, 1955 and we turn our clocks back at 2am on November 6th hmm (eyebrow raised)? If only I can figure out what it is I want a second chance at. Anyway, on the subject of warping time... as we turn our clocks back, it's kind of like time traveling and isn't that like folding time? Kind of like how the Battlestar, Galactica warp space and time as it "jumps?" I'm really REACHING here! I just want to make a connection with turning the clocks back and how the composer for Battlestar Galactica, Bear McCreary finds exciting ways to "warp" his music. Bear McCreary is the most exciting composer working in television right now. Aside from Battlestar Galactica, you can also find his music on The Walking Dead. Check out the video below as he plays the entire composition of "Prelude to War" on an accordion. A frakking accordion! I wonder if Steve Urkel has that type of accordion skill?



The original "Prelude to War" composition:


Bear McCreary also has a blog. He updates it regularly and talks about how he comes up with ideas on his music. If you like Battlestar Galactica, The Walking and Human Target I highly recommend checking out his blog:

100 Possibilities

100 樣可能

The good old 90's... 1997 to be exact. When the 4 Kings reigned over Hong Kong pop and Hong Kong itself faced uncertainty as they were being handed back to China. Literally, Hong Kong was facing 100 possibilities at the time. I remember hearing this song on an AM broadcast that was organized by some MIT Asian students. As they gave me a slice of Asian culture every night for an hour. I hope I can give you a slice of Asian culture from time to time on this blog. Mostly 90's Asian culture. I don't know much of the new stuff. I'm an old man.

100 樣可能 (100 Possibilities) was first released on one of Leon Lai's (黎明) EP's in 1997. The CD or cassette tape single (MP3's were still trying to catch on) was appropriately named Leon's... Leon Lai is one of the 4 pop kings (四大天王) in Hong Kong during the 90's. He was criticized for his mediocre singing and acting abilities. I'd always find that a bit harsh. I like his music. He has a classic tone, a melancholy to his voice which gives a retro vibe. He does extremely well with some of his more bluesy songs. I'd always believe that they are sort of a throw back to the 60's and 70's era of Chinese music. There is no mistake that Leon belongs in the pantheon of Hong Kong's pop culture. With a ton of music awards and numerous nominations for his acting, you can say he is good at what he does. Even here in the U.S., you might not recognize his name or face but, if you are remotely interested in Chinese culture, most likely you'd heard his music or watched one of his movies.

I'm a little long winded and a lot nostalgic tonight. That MIT radio broadcast which ran during 11pm or was it12am? In any case, it's 12am here and I guess sometimes, with the right trigger, the past can catch up to us. Tonight's trigger is 100 樣可能 (100 Possibilities). So, step through that time tunnel with me into the late 90's and sit back, enjoy the video, the cheesy 90's morph effects and the pretty girl or the pretty Leon.

Doctor Who: The Ballad of Russell and Julie

"Let's Do It!"
John Barrowman, Catherine Tate and David Tennant teams up for something that might be more extraordinary than the Doctor Donna

It's been 33 days since Series 6's finale. Again Who's counting? (see what I did there?) Luckily we don't have too much of a wait between Series 6 and 7. There will be a Doctor Who Christmas Special on... guess which day it will air... Christmas Day! In the mean time, I do what I always do and get my Doctor Who fix on youtube. But for Doctor Who: The Ballad of Russell and Julie, I found this gem on a site I visit everyday:
Topless Robot

This tribute to Russell T. Davies and Julie Gardner was done for David Tennant's wrap party as the 10th Doctor. It celebrates the fantastic regeneration of the classic show. The music is from Victoria Wood's "Let's Do It" and the lyrics were rewritten for Russell and Julie. Check it out:

Thank you GuarroRock for sharing!


Here's the original version of "Let's Do It":

Thanks KevMull for this one.

The lyrics for both songs are after the "JUMP!"
