Harnessing The Lightning

how do you feel when your script was rejected countless of times ( 44 times to be exact ), you feel heartbreak, beyond disappointment, reaching unto the edge of pointless return. Talking about heartbreak, its not about relationships - its about your creative work. 

 

but then again, its all about time and persistence. Universe will shed her light unto the written destiny. The script is called Back To The Future. As all film studios scrambling to rehash, milking away it's shelf life with dumb reboots, i simply glad to know the owners of the trilogy will never approve until they die. 

say whatever you want, the trilogy hold it's gold standard - way even better than the original Star Wars trilogy. Unlike how we see the sophisticated Empire with her technology and massive army taken down by furry animals worshiping C3P0, we wave goodby to Doc Brown in the final frame of Part III. 

Even though he asked Marty to destroy the Time Machine.

Even though he can repay back Bufford USD 80 bucks. 

honestly speaking - the first film is an enjoyable blast, still gives me the chills and wanting Marty to race back against time to save his universe, witnessing how Marty screwed up his future by having his mother falls for him and cheered in unison with Doc when they succeeded. 

George Lucas gave a master class on what is the real value of licensing and merchandising.Giving away his distribution rights but keeping the licensing, Lucas made us finance his new Star Wars trilogy and bankroll Lucasfilm. 

If you are a film geek, a pop culture fanatic happened to be in Malaysia, owning cool merchandising related to the films you love is a chore, a discipline requires tons of effort, time and yes money. Then Lego and her marvelous unlimited building techniques appeared and offered me a blank canvas. 

Scroll down below to view all my build related to Back To The Future.Speaking about George Lucas, his close friend happens to be one of the producers who greenlit this gem. His name is Steven Spielberg.

Have fun viewing.

Lego finally released an official set of the Delorean. They build and entire new set of slopes for this.

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 ...
