I am the Space Nerd because I love Dune

The last few days have been like a step in to the world of Sci-Fi for me, one Sci-Fi movie series after another. But instead making me feel futuristic, I felt like I have taken a few steps backwards into retro land because most of the Sci –Fi motion picture that I saw was made almost 10 years ago. It started with the Star Trek marathon recently and yesterday I went on a little space odyssey by watching two version of Frank Herbert’s Dune. The visual effects was so obsolete and so close to lame, but it still got my glued to my seat the entire show, I mean how often do you see a fat man floating around in a space suit?



I never read the novel by Frank Herbert’s Dune, as a matter of fact the only time which I came to know about Dune was when the creator’s of Command and Conquer came up with a version of a real time strategy game called Dune 2000 and that seems light years ago. The only thing I could remember about the game was the pesky sand worm. But after watching the movies, it sorta came back to me and it was fun to see familiar stuff on the show. The first version of the show that I saw was a 4 hours TV miniseries; besides William Hurt I didn’t know anyone in the movie. The second version was a star studded 1984 production. It even has Patrick Stewart from Star Trek in it (even then he was bald, which makes me wonder if he ever has hair), Kyle Maclachlan (desperate housewives), Sting (singer) starred this movie.

Hey if y’all got 6 hours to spare, do check out one of these movies, I know the effects may be lame but the plot and the story is fucking good. You know after watching it those two Dune movies, I think I will be off to the bookstore to pick up the novel. And so this is how I became a space geek. But seriously, go watch Dune or pick up the novel, it’s all good.



Note: this is a Dune VCD from Malaysia, just look at the synopsis, doesn’t it makes you wanna laugh? Even the piracy in Malaysia is so low in quality.



Anyway, as the weekend is upon us, I am planning to have a nice quiet romantic day out with Lisa. I feel like she deserved one after all the shit she have to put up with me, so I am just going to make this weekend a special one for her.

I am Proud to be a Heterosexual Trekkie

I have never been down with the whole Star Trek shit or should I say I have never been much of a Trekkie. Star Trek has never been any appealing to me maybe because it has always been associated with nerds, geeks and losers. Look at the star of the show, the biggest loser of them all - William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk which is so gay in his early years and has the physics of a tub of lard in the later years. Maybe it is the ultra high tech jargon which only an ultra geek can understand or their fucking battle cruiser the USS Enterprise that looks like a fucking “Gasing” (spintop) or maybe the sad and no life fans around the world who dressed up as one of the sci-fi character and gathers at a star trek convention to celebrate the greatest geek movie/series of all time. But I think most of all I think it is because of these really disturbing pictures of Captain Kirk and Captain Spock.




Up until now I thought star trek was associated with geeks, nerds and losers, I didn’t know that there was a gay aspect of it. I think this is Captain Kirk and Spock’s idea of “To boldly go where no heterosexual man has gone before”



Cheeseburger Eddy is really a gem, not only he is old school, and he is really-really old school to a point that he is making it look cool. Look what I found in his pile of reading materials. A video movie guide handbook with reviews and ratings and he has even bookmarked the star trek section. Guess what he even highlighted the movies that he has watched.



While I was waiting for Lisa to reach LA, I had all the time in the world that is why I decided to watch a couple of Cheeseburger eddy’s Star Trek Laser Disc. His collection of Star Trek is almost complete; only 2 movies are missing from his collection. You know, after watching the first 2 Star Trek movies; I was beginning to get the hang of it and I was actually enjoying myself. It was way better than I expected it to be. So with that, I decided to be one of the nerd/geek/loser and set of a mission to boldly do what a normal sane person has not done before, that is to finish the almost entire Star Trek Movie series in a single go which comprised of:

Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan
Star Trek: The Search for Spock
Star Trek: The Voyage Home
Star Trek: The Final Frontier
Star Trek: Undiscovered Country
Star Trek: Generations
Star Trek: First Contact
Star Trek: Insurrection
Star Trek: Nemesis

note:I found out that even numbered Star Trek movies are always better than odd ones.


After almost 16 hours of going through a Star Trek Movie Marathon, it finally happened. I think I have finally been converted into a born again Trekkie. Even though most Trekkies prefer to be called Trekkers, I think I will just still stick to the former because I think it is kinda cute. And for the record, I take back calling William Shatner a loser because I think he is a cool loser but that doesn’t change the fact that he is still so gay and also a tub of lard. But this isn't going to stop me from watching Star Trek: The Beginning summer 2009

"hand me the keys, you fucking cocksucker"

I said it once but I am going to say it again, Cheeseburger Eddy is so old school. He still owns a perfectly functional Laser Disc player and he has like a couple dozen of Laser Disc in his collection. I mean if you go the national museum of Science here, I bet you could find the exact model which Eddy has here. Lisa for one who is just 19 this year has sure hell never seen or heard what a Laser Disc is, that is why owing to Eddy’s spirit of keep this piece of technology alive, Lisa and I decided to watch a late night movie at home and try to sleep in late. Cheeseburger Eddy has got lots of action movies (mostly Bruce Willis –The Last Boy Scout, Hudson Hawk and all his Die Hard craps)of which wasn’t suitable for us to watch at this time of the night because it would be too loud. So we decided to watch The Usual Suspect instead. I have watched it before but totally forgotten what the story is about but I knew it was a good show. The only part I remembered about the show was when the all the main actors was line up and was supposed to say “ Hand me the fucking keys, you fucking cocksucker!”, which I thought was the most memorable line in the show. And fuck it now I remember why Laser Disc is deader than dead now, because half way into the show , you have to get your ass up and flip the fucking disc to continue on with the show and not to mentioned the Laser Disc is fucking heavy. After the show we sleep in late, at least Lisa did. I couldn’t so I decided to get my ass up and make her some breakfast. So this is what I came up with. Frankfurters, zucchini, carrot and ham wrapped in no crust bread, then dipped in egg and coated with crushed oath meals and fried and Served with cheese squeeze from a tube that looks like toothpaste.

indiana jones and the kingdom of the fucking skull

The time was 1145 and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was on at 1210. MLL and I got out tickets and a huge ass popcorn before going in. The popcorn was my idea, actually both of us was not popcorn fans but it has been so long since I had one. The cinema show time in Kuantan is so good that at 1206 the trailer for Batman: the Dark Knight came on and even before it was 1210, the show started already …. After 19 years waiting for a next sequel to the Indiana Jones series, Steven Spielberg, again gangs up with George Boy Toy Lucas to create a new installment for Mr. Han Solo – Harrison ford. To be frank Indiana Jones series should stay in the 80s because this movie just gives me the whole lame 80s adventure feel to it, but if you are into that, I guess this show is for you. But I think the success of the movie relies heavily on the public's nostalgia for the series. The setting was 1957 (19 years after Indian Jones and the Last Crusade). The movie tries to tie up loose knots, like what happen to the Old Dean in his University where he was teaching - Marcus and his dad and old lover Marion Ravenwood from the Raiders of the Lost Ark. To me this movie is a cross breed between X-files and the old Indiana Jones with a touch of the Da Vinci Code’s suspense. About the Babe factor in this movie – none: Marion Ravenwood who played by Karen Allen was soooo old and Comrade Spalko who was played by Cate Blanchett( who I think is hot as an elf) wore so much clothes that I don’t even recall seeing her elbow. Things to look out for are the Ark Covenant which made its cameo in the Military warehouse chase at the beginning of the movie and this time instead of fighting the Nazi they were fighting the KGB. Overall, this movie is nothing to shout about (Half way through the movie I actually it would end faster). Go watch it only if you are free. I had a tummy ache after the movie mainly because of the extra butter I asked for on my pop corn I guess, that is why no KFC for me today, bummer.

what your mind says?
i don't think chics will be attracted to the whole whip and cowboy hat look anymore...

hello, my name is prince motherfucking caspian of narnia

It was 3am in the morning, I could swear I hear woa woa snoring away on her bed. But the bloody medication that I took only gave me this much of rest. I was perfectly alright yesterday because I was off my medication because I had to go to my office to sign some papers. I was glad I went there because it would only mean good internet connection and KFC. And also I was all clear in the head and I was able to talk cock with my bitches in MSN chat room which I haven’t did for a long time. But again my health has taken its toll and again I succumb to my sickness as I took my night capsule. But that was the thing that kept me up at the wee hours of the night and also to find MLL having trouble sleeping. After a long consideration of whether or not to go for the gay flick Prince Caspian which I totally blow off here, I finally give in to the idea of watching it because I can’t be that selfish and just watch all the movies that I want to only, I had to take into consideration my movie buddy's choices too and also it was also a good excuse for me to get KFC and Pepsi again. So what the heck, and since we couldn’t sleep, the only sane thing to do is to watch the first Narnia 1st Installation again which was her idea (I was kinda reluctant because it would only remind me how fucking boring it is) to refresh our memory. So we went to my room (the olnly room in the house which is sound proof, so I have an excuse) blast the air-condition and watched the dvd which made me strangely sleepy at a very early stage of the movie, because those 4 punks still haven’t found the fucking wardrobe yet and I was already asleep. But it felt strangely good to have someone sleeping beside you [*shivers] after so long. Then I woke up with a note beside my bed asking me to get ready by 1130am and woa woa’s head on my chest. She must have climb on my bed during the night .

The show started sharp at 1245pm and I didn’t have much expectation of it because I am so not a big fan of Narnia, but surprisingly this installation was good and entertaining, so much better than the first one which was about a big dumb wardrobe. The starting was good but a bit dark; I wonder how those suckers are going to do the pirated copy in the cinema. Anyway, here we see the role of the asshole being shifted from Edmund to Peter, I bet in they take turns to be the asshole that will go against what little Lucy have to say. Anyway, fighting sequence was lousy and it didn’t even make a dent in on the best medieval fighting sequence ever film that is found in Lord of the Ring’s the Two Towers - The Battle of Helm’s Deep. But if you are into watching an army of livestock and vegetables going against human army, you have come to the right place. Start Spoiler: In the end a big win for the livestock and vegetables. WTF!!! End Spoiler. But it is worth your money if you have nothing to do or you wanna just make someone happy so that she will go watch Indiana Jones with you next week.

Anyway, Narnia as always has such a strong Christian message in it, thanks a lot to CS Lewis. Maybe that is why Switchfoot another Christian band did a song which is pretty good for this movie. It is call "This is Home". Anyone with a good quality file of that song please i am willing to trade ya with any other songs that you want or some good 3gps if you know what i mean.

what does your mind says?
Help!!! I want the song "This is Home good quality one from , i have the crap version if you want it , mail me
