Movie Introductions : Man Bites Dog

Hi, good evening everyone. For my 1st attempt at showing that I have really great taste in movies, I will introduce a movie that I stumbled upon, upon endless surfing of the net in my spare time.

Man Bites Dog is a satirical, Belgian, black comedy mockumentary starring Benoît Poelvoorde. In the film, a crew of filmmakers follow a serial killer, recording his crimes and grotesquely candid commentary for a documentary they are producing. At first dispassionate observers, they find themselves caught up in the increasingly chaotic violence.

Benoit is a charming and charismatic young man who maintains a healthy relationship with his mother, plays the piano and discusses at length whatever comes to mind, be it architecture, philosophy, pigeons or classical music. He is also a serial killer who goes on murderous rampages. A film crew made up of three men join Benoit on his sadistic adventures, recording the sickening actions as a fly on the wall documentary. Benoit takes them to meet his family and friends, while explaining at length the "craft" of his work.

He then ventures into apartment buildings explaining how it is more cost-effective to attack old people than young couples because the former have more cash at home and are easier to kill. In a following scene, he screams wildly at an elderly lady causing her to have a heart attack. As she lays dying, he casually remarks that this method allowed him to spare a bullet. Benoit continues with his candid explanations and his killings, targeting anyone who comes his way: women, children, immigrants and postmen (his favourite victims). He even shoots down his lady friend's partner during his birthday party, when everyone is having dessert.

The camera crew begin to get more and more involved in the murders, first as mere accomplices but eventually taking an active part in them. During filming, two of them are shot, their deaths later called 'occupational hazards' by the crew. The film develops a sympathetic view of the protagonist because, despite his abhorrent killings, he is very witty and, somewhat paradoxically, very likable.

Archives

Lately, I've been really lazy upon updating my blog. I'm to be faulted as I have massive stuff to do now although I'm free from life's responsibilities. While I was rearranging my files for a PC format, I dug up my old diary and think this is worth posting. The old Klutz, me. Yea goes to show how long I've come from those days. So, without further ado:-

good in exchange for a silly banter with a housemate i KINDA fancy. yup really stupid i knw
i shoulda learnt all this by now already. feeling like a lose bird with no legs or a cat
buttering itself up to get food. sigh....im feeling like this could be forever and not
gonna stop. thanks for the great exchange god. trying my luck? not anymore dickheads.
tomorrow they are going to times square to watch a stupid movie...dont feel like joining
the memories doesnt seem to be a good idea to go with them. suddenly it really feels
awkward that i no longer know anything tangible. theres no grasp and a sudden feeling of

god speed lol..

11/2/2008 136pm

as im very bored at work now, i decided its best i blog about something im very fond of as
of late. this particular specimen of mine goes by the name of irene.

small girl, really nice kid. shes 19 btw mind you. pretty for her age. coming OF age.
hardworking, bright. lovely in a sense. nice eyes. even better if she doesnt laugh or smile
which she does alot.

i always seem to be happy in her presence for some reason i do not understand. it was never
really the kind of feeling with a loved one. it just has some sort of "old friend" kinda
feeling and the authority that she wants me to have over her is amazing. its so strong that
it seems natural and not forced, which i have to do to many people to get their respect.
it always seems so strange around her that i love this strange aura. i feel at home
immediately knowing im around her and it isnt in the way couples would be. i cant describe
it. brotherly love? but it really does feel strange. the way i feel around her.



she never fails to msg me back when she says she will. maybe this time she will but as of
late she has been missing my sms's. i wonder what happened to her. i can definitely take
this as the end but i dont want it to end because of some 3rd party authoritarian
movement that i dont condone as this is OUR feelings.

in all honesty, this was a very enjoyful ride in my fickle life. thank you for breathing
some well needed female loving into me. Irene, i thank you so much. If only you knew how
much those memories meant to me. :)

2 Weeks was all I could afford

Starting everything off, I shall "story" about my last 2 weeks working in KHL and 2 weeks prior to my last day there.

The last 2 weeks of working in KHL was pretty much a breeze to me to be honest. No one really gave a damn about what I did and everyone was wishing me well and some were in fake envy. The whole 2 weeks we were working on 3 projects at that time while I was only seriously in charge of 1 which is J4. As I'm in charge of procurement, usually I run errands for Mr. Liew (messiah). The whole week consisted of paperwork and delays from this side and that side. The whole situation was no more different when I was in Megan Avenue working for the HUC project there. The other 2 projects were basically not handled by me as I am, again, the errand boy in that department. On the very last day of work, I didn't have any revelations of any kind. What I really wanted to do was just trying to keep in touch with people and taking their contacts as I will be able to contact them. I love the people in KHL very much but given the situation that I am, I can't give too much to these friendships as I was going really quick.

Quick shoutout to Mr. Liew, Nizam, Chin, Siti, that guy that owns a Harrier and smokes alot, er, my housemate, Ms Chai, Wayne, Trista, the other procurement guy (I'm so bad with names).

But to be honest, the whole experience of working in KHL, came to life on the very last 2 weeks of working there, as I was introduced to my new colleague, Sharon. She was someone from town who has all the chic and flair that I can ever imagine. We discussed alot about a plethora of stuff from work to personal life, but she really gave me an impression that she was different and she was all business. I really really envy what she has. She really showed me was is being beautiful without the looks. Another person that I strucked upon that gave me a big impression was Ms Tham, my company's lawyer. Her definitions of right and wrong were just as clearly defined as black and white. I, envy, very much, this clear definition as I can never emphasise that enough to carry out my objectives. I can never take an example of her, as we are different but this has clearly showed me that it can be done, that I should at least die trying to at least emulate that.

Part 2 coming up shortly. Gonna have to leave for work now :)
Teasers: My experience and woes with my former band, packing my stuff for Liverpool and forgetting a really
important thing, arguments with my family and much more :)

TO DO: Update photos :)

Pilot

As I have been pressed a lot lately to update my friends on my own experience or views or any type of words that I could conjure up in my very feeble mind, I've decided to start a blog finally!! For my pilot, I shall brief you on what you will be about to read or not read.

You will find:-
- stories about my life in the UK and also my mini excursions in and out of the country
- stories about me struggling while finding a suitable game to play
- stories about me explaining games and also game theory
- reviews of my favourite movie/music/tv show/restaurant/ etc etc
- my wishes/direct attack to other people

You will not find:-
- me being emo
- advice
- an explanation if you are doubtful of my post or if I'm being hypocritical
- try to be funny (I'm always funny, I'm more of a "refined" taste)

I'll add more when I think of it, but for now,
Please enjoy my pilot
