In a coconutshell: TERONG: THE LEGACY
TRON was boring, boring, boring that I lost all purposes watching the film except for collecting materials to write the following In a Coconutshell: TERONG THE LEGACY. This was originally written in plurk, hence the 140-character limit. Warning: Contains spoilers of TRON: THE LEGACY.

Trailers and oddities
Iron Man anime trailer by MAD House. Well, G.I. Joe anime-styled Sigma 6 wasn't exactly a success, although Resolute was a blast... so now it's Marvel's time to try their luck?

Donny Alamsyah week - for me.
Since the near-death experience of Indonesian films in the 1990s, now people began to sigh a great relief, seeing more and more quality national films breathing in cinemas again (despite still alongside ridiculous horror flicks which bring more horror to us to see how badly they were made than the ghosts in them). Last week, I watched two ( Read more... ) -
Nights to remember
To write about a past event requires more concious effort to recall things from the shelves of your mind where you have put them to keep for years to come, when a slight breeze or a particular smell can wake the memories up again from their slumber ( Read more... )
