Pulau Kazambo

 just when we thought we are running out of ideas for the rest to get angry, then we have another local film hitting the airwaves with a "controversy". Titled as PULAU ( Island ), we going to have those urban shit, fair skinned, trust fund Bangsar teenagers who doesn't listen to elders, decide to pay a visit to the island and as usual will face the spirit and it's related wrath ( preachy justification ) of the island. 

how literal you can get with a horror film when you have a tagline of 

#SiapaPergiDiaMati

The trailer showed literally the whole movie 

Since people have nothing else to do, they love to be angry for any reason. Triggered they flood the comment section saying that it looks like a soft-porn film, apparently more afraid of the bikini's and skins rather than the hantu itself. 

again, asking the obvious

Pity the make-up department team and the actors. So lets see how it the hantu looks like?


Only in our local film,we have the hantu's have adequate screen time to justify,explain their antics, turned jahat ( whatsoever ) why they turned unto one.

Lets see the poster. Not enough by showing the skull-like hill, lets amplify it with another death stare by the hantu.

The joke continues to the extend where the LPF ( our censorship board ) issued a public statement saying that it's a horror film.


The real horror is we have banks increasing their OPR rates ( means your debt rates increased ), half a million kids dropping out from schools, EPF members doesnt have enough savings for old age and the looming presence of food crisis.

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 ...
