The Gyllenhall

if they dont cast Tobey Mcguire or Andrew Garfield- i will put my hard earned money for Jake Gyllenhall to play Spidey. Seriously he is one of the most versatile actors in the market and he can pull off any characters he wants. Burning the screen with Donnie Darko, this enigmatic actor magically hooked me with his materials. I was go pissed when he was snubbed by the Oscars for his brilliant opportunistic coyote bastard role in Nightwatch, he expanded his craft like Leo.

But checking his wide catalogue, i have to choose End of Watch as one of his very best, supported the usual brilliant Michael Pena. This is the true David Ayer before he was tapped to direct the dumb Suicide Squad. He used this exact cop buddy formula, lessen the F bomb in Netflix's Bright. 

End of Watch is one edgy knife with all its glossy curves, it cuts at the right spot and doesnt give any sweet apologies.

"If you run away I will chase you. 
If you fight me I will fight back. 
If you shoot at me I will shoot back. 
By law I am unable to walk away. 
I am a consequence. 
 I am the unpaid bill. 
I am fate with a badge and a gun."

  
Now with him as Mysterio.............Disney- you are one damn smart capitalist engine, you have my money. Sony put all her money and gambled all away with the Spider Verse and got away as a winner. I cant compare this with the Incredibles as Spidey have years of history and legacy and most importantly they able to put this beautifully. Phewwwww.........Even Kingpin's motivation is personal yet if perceived in his shoes, to be reunited with his deceased wife and daughter by getting them from another universe through his collider. his actions made and group multiple versions of Spidey - they come together to give motivations, emotional support and solid tutoring to Miles Morales.

Its so good yet it hits all the right spot. With our Earth 616 Spidey is not perfect to Nicholas Cage voicing Noir Spidey, phew Again - this is something that Disney must know that she made her silly move by taking off Phil Lord and Chris Miller away from SOLO.


Its damn damn damn ( multiple ) damn good. I would pay to watch Lord and Miller's version of Solo.

Balai Seni Negara's Treasures

Image
after weeks of lecturing and exposing my students to various masterpieces of the Western paintings, sculptures and other notable artefacts, it's time for me to introduce them our nation's wealth and masterpieces which i deem noteworthy. Q : how i evaluate a work of art to be noteworthy? A : it must stand through the test of time, requires full attention and forget all the pretentious glorified curatorial writings. The image produced must show evidence of thoughts, thoughtful strokes and skills - in terms of composition, mastery of the colors and must be one that control the gallery space. ( to be honest, i cant appreciate digital paintings as it is missing the most vital elements - that is texture and the evident of the strokes. ) example - Michaelangelo's Pieta and Monet's Waterlilies. What is brilliant is, i brought them to National Visual Arts Gallery, where they got a chance to meet up my old dean/sifu/friend/mentor/adopted guardian angel/humanist - Naji...

The Final Lesson by Syed Ahmad Jamal

Image
Intro This is will be a long note - edited again thoroughly. Before i begin, this writing will touch on an individual goes by the name of  Syed Ahmad Jamal ( our National Laureate ) who passed away on 2011 and DBKL - stands for Kuala Lumpur Municipal Council. My heart dropped when Syed Ahmad Jamal public sculpture entitled Puncak Purnama ( Lunar Peaks, 1986 ) was destroyed by the local KL municipal council DBKL few days back. DBKL stands for Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur - actually is quite notorious for a list of bad PR moves by cutting off trees, blocking the Pertiwi Soup Kitchen ( which been feeding the homeless ), their zealous traffic summons - but seriously they broke the camel's back by destroying the modernist, geometrical - clean cut sculpture. The Battle of Non Permission This sculpture was highlighted in  2010 as "someone" decided to pimp it up, changing it's appearance without Syed Ahmad Jamal's permission.This is how it looks like.........

Awesome Bowie Notes No 1.

Image
William Boyd collaborated with David Bowie - published this book as a hoax, presented as a real biography. "Nat Tate" is a combination of the names of two London art galleries, the National Gallery and the Tate Gallery. Boyd and his conspirators set about convincing the New York glitterati (social elites) that the reputation of this influential abstract expressionist needed to be re-evaluated. Bowie held a launch party on April Fool's Day eve, 1998 and read extracts from the book, while someone talked about Tate's friendships with both Picasso and Braque. About a week later, journalist David Lister,said that no one he spoke to claimed to know Tate well, but no one claimed not to have heard of him. In reality, it appears that few were fooled and most of the big names in the arts world (including artists, collectors, art historian, art dealers, New York based writers like Paul Auster, and editors of literary journals) quickly realized that Nat Tate ...
