Looks creepy
Looks like a fairy ring out of a Stephen King novel or something >< -
I just added 2 more to the flower thread. Go see. I don't think you can call those 2 creepy >.<

No those aren'tOriginally posted by av98m:I just added 2 more to the flower thread. Go see. I don't think you can call those 2 creepy >.<
Btw what subjects you use for black & white pics? -
Anything I think looks good in black and white. I take everything in color first. Then those I think will look better in black and white will be converted using photoshop or capture nx.Originally posted by elindra:No those aren't

why limit my options? -
Just curious maOriginally posted by av98m:never.
why limit my options?
But I should think B&W pics are harder to shoot coz you need an interesting pic to make it look good -
My dilemma now is that I'm thinking of shooting with small compacts only and giving up my dslr system >.<

you can always give me your D200

colleague was asking me if i was going to go see The Phantom of the Opera because our rec club can get us discount tix...
i was paralysed with laughter for a while because i remembered my review of the movie, quoted in verbatim here Originally posted by the Bear:i went to watch it.. (may contain spoilers but heck! this story is older than the California Redwoods )
here's a guy's perspective on it
The Phantom.. he's a true blue psychopath! killed some lowlife when he was first a little boy... (granted, the guy had it coming)
then he killed a few more people for looking at "his girl" funny.. and tried to murder "his girl's" suitor and true love...
this dude is actually THREE well-known screen maniacs rolled into one!
he's at first Norman Bates... he's got a protector who is a "mom" to him.. (although she was nor murdered by him)
then he's Freddy Krueger... he went after littlel children.. he started stalking Christine Daae when she was a little girl! (the Michael Jackson wannabe paedophile!) maybe he's got a Lolita complex? a bit of Humbert Humbert in him?
then, he's Jason.. for that mask he wears... and his disfigurement..
so.. there you have it... The Phantom.. is actually a mish-mash.. an unholy trinity of celluloid's most infamous psychopaths...
the only semi-sane man in the whole story was the Viscount, Raoul... but he started to show his insanity and stupidity by exposing his loved one to "lure The Phantom" out of his lair... i mean, hey! you're the fricken Viscount! get the cops and storm the place.. go into his damned underground labyrinth and hunt the maniac! cut him down in a hail of gunfire! but the guy lets the maniac go after defeating him in a swordfight!
Madame Giry is another nutcase... she knows he's been murdering people, yet she keeps quiet and exposes her daughter and ward to The Phantom's lunacy... i guess she imbibed in too much absinthe or something.. messed up her brain??
THEN.. you have Christine... now.. was she thinking of two-timing the Viscount or something? who knows? "you're asking me to go out there and become vulnerable to that maniac? you must be jerkin' my chain!! i'm outta here, Viscount or not!"
heh heh heh!
the only memorable part was by Minnie Driver.. who played the part of the prima donna diva Carlotta... it was way over the top as it was meant to be... and she did it so well!
all in all, i had to stifle giggles throughout the movie because it was so fricken hilarious! and i know it wasn't meant to be...
enjoyable.. but not as Joel Schumacher meant it to be
(i can't rate this.. at all.. ) -
How did he react to you laughing in his face?Originally posted by the Bear:colleague was asking me if i was going to go see The Phantom of the Opera because our rec club can get us discount tix...

I did watch Phantom of the Opera at the theater when they first came to Singapore
Yes I did fine it over-rated >< -
it was hilarious wasn't it?
i guess some people are right when they say that i cannot be trusted to give a proper review to a movie
that being said, the most romantic movies to me remain Casablanca, True Romance and Lost in Translation...
where romance is not just the boy/girl type lurvefest -
I love watching romantic comedies. I usually watch them alone because got no girls to watch with and its very gay watching those with guys
And no, I do not have sophisticated tastes when it comes to movies. I even enjoy those slammed by critics.
Some favourites I can recall:
the truth about cats and dogs
4 weddings and a funeral
you've got mail
just like heaven -
@*&$
trying to find the bloody Town Councils is insane..
we had a list but they have been rendered useless after the elections.. after the gerrymandering, all have changed -
I love Casablanca and Gone with the Wind so muchOriginally posted by the Bear:it was hilarious wasn't it?

Not watched True Romance and Lost in Translation though -
On the subject of movies, my fave harrison ford movie is not star wars, not the indiana jones series, nor the tom clancy series, not the fugitive.
It is this very heart warming movie that few remember he ever did.
Regarding Henry.
any of you caught this one? -
Sounds familiar but I dun think I watched itOriginally posted by av98m:On the subject of movies, my fave harrison ford movie is not star wars, not the indiana jones series, nor the tom clancy series, not the fugitive.

Harrison Ford plays a very sucessful and ruthless lawyer who gets shot in the head during a botched mugging, and as a result has to undergo intensive therapy and re-learn most of his motor skills. Somehow, he re-discovers his conscience, the truly important things in life and rebuilds his relationships with his loved ones. In the process he becomes the man that his wife fell in love with and his daughter discovers for the very first time that she has a loving father. Even his old housekeeper tells him that he's so much nicer after getting shot in the head!Originally posted by elindra:Sounds familiar but I dun think I watched it
I know this sounds like a really boring movie, you'll have to watch it to appreciate it. -

True Romance is a romantic story with a lot of insane violence, maniacs, cops, a psychotic white rastafarian drug dealer (played to perfection by Gary Oldman)
but in there, is a tender love story of a shy guy who falls for a prostitute and sets about to help her get away from her past.. Tarantino wrote this so, hey.. expect the mess but it's a really tender tale between the both of them
Lost in Translation is a tour-de-force of a movie which i would say that no one else but Bill Murray could do.. his deadpan face which says more than mere words.. finding a kindred soul in a faraway place like Japan... where the romance was in their platonic friendship
as for Regarding Henry.. uhh... some bits.. amnesia and all that.. rediscovering himself and how low he was before being shot... maybe i'm jaded in terms of movies.. -
It made me cry, and I tell you there are very few movies that can do thatOriginally posted by elindra:Sounds like the kind of movie that will make me cry
Another nice movie is the adaption of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird (this one is in black and white)
