Bloggers United, Cicakman, Desire: Table for Three and Darling Muse

In the spirit of solidarity, I too pledge to 'walk or march' with Jeff and Rocky, fellow bloggers who were slapped with defamation suits in the last few days.
It was one of those boring Sundays when NI and I decided to watch Cicakman, the movie which starred Saiful Apek, Fasha Sanda, Yusry Kru, Aznil Nawawi, AC Mizal, etc.
Although it didn't draw the crowd nor great reviews, I thought it had the makings of a good satire. However, the so-called "high-quality special effects" made Metrofulus smacked too much of Gotham City, Profesor Klon too much of The Joker, the Ginger Boys too much of The Matrix, Tania and Hairi too much of Mary Jane and Spidey, and ... by now, you get the drift. A little of "intertextuality" is fine but too much is lethal.

Desire: Table for Three is one over-the-top tele novella with hot babes, studs/hunks, and a formulaic story line - a love triangle between two brothers and a woman they both lust for. One of those 'no-brainer', 'guilty pleasure' that one indulges in when life is one big yawn.
And a coward's exit route from what-could-have-been an over-the-top real life drama!




Should one be a-mused or be-mused when one is fascinated by the persona but repelled by the person? Will anything happen if neither one is willing to adapt to the other? Que sera sera, whatever will be will be. So, enjoy the free-flowing Chandonnay and hor douvres while you're there, babe!
