I Would Like To Be...

tsk tsk..how am i to reply to that...
are you on crack?
i hate it when people take forever at counters ....like the old lady that you wish you were...most of the time i'll try my best not to give them the evil eye..but the worst is when i'm driving on the highway and people in the passing lane are driivng at 100, and when i'm driving at 140 and trying not to tailgate them, they do not comprehend the idea about moving and switching lanes. oh, and that on a max 60km/h road, the person would be driving exactly at 60... the worst is when you are stuck beacuse both of the 2 lanes are occupied by slowass drivers...yes rita is always on the run
oh i also hate it when people who are helping me (store, groceries, school, whatnot) are SLOW...and make mistakes..and since i am always on the go, i cant stand it..well i can,...but i get increasingly more edgy ...when i have caffeine in my system...oh NO..i start to well not yell at them..but become very very edgy and i think i scare people off that way
(yes i am exaggerating because i am usually very composed..and calm..)

I hate it when people try to move out of your way, cos they always do it too late, like when you've already decided to go around them, then you've gotta hurry back into the other lane and blah blah, fuckers, just stay put, I know you're slow and dumb, I'll get around you myself.

yeah i try doing that..i hate it when that happens..it's like they are doing it to me on purpose..so a lot of the times when i finally get my way and move out...i would give them this dirty "what the hell is wrong with you" look..yes i am guilty..at least i admit it
oh i hate it..on the highway...the car in front of you is holding up traffic in the passing lane..and the car behind you is tailgating you, you cant do anything...you can only pray that the guy behind you would know that the dude in front of you is a clown and doenst comprehend hwy etiquettes

Id like to be... under the sea... in an octopus' garden...

( thats what i thought of instantly )

I hate driving. Oh, how I loathe it. Well, mostly just the roads that have craploads of lights and are really busy. I love driving on highways with a moderate amount of traffic. Weaving in and out of lanes is oh so fun.

Wow. That sounds like the shit. But what I would like to be is....
a cashier at the DMV. Nothing I'd like better than to watch the endless stream of people come through those doors at a speed that exponentially diminishes the pace at which I work. The line gets longer and longer, but I feel less and less inclined to work. I slowly plug through the numbers, lingering on the ones where I know people won't answer, just because I like to see the look of aggravation growing on the customer's faces. The guy in the front who's been sitting there for at least the last 2 and a half hours looks like he's about to explode. I think there's at least 10 more numbers in front of him, 2 of which there won't be found in the crowd because they simply do not exist. The computer is programmed to skip every so many numbers, just to give us a little break when we need it. We just call out that number for as long as we want and nobody can bother us. One of the best parts of my job is when I tell people how much it's going to be for a new hunk of plastic with their name and picture on it. Some people really flip out, it's great. I just stare at them calmly, maybe even a little impatiently, letting out a sigh if I'm feeling especially obnoxious. After about a half hour more, I finally get to the exploding guy's number, but it's right about now that I'm feeling the need for a lunch break. So that's what I'll do. I'm sure someone around here will take over for me.

the U-scan's are a blessing...and a curse, for the above mentioned stories.

Ahhh, see, Rents was the only one that actually got what I was going for with this new thread. Here, let's try another one.

I'd like to be...

A gruff, World War 2, Japanese veteran who is now an old man with a a young, 16 year old daughter named Mao Yuen. Therefore, once she starts dating, I immediately won't approve of her liberal boyfriend. And I'll await for her on my rocking chair when she sneaks back home at 1:30am. And, as she's tiptoeing towards her room, you'll here my stern, Japanese voice from behind her roar, "Mao YUEN!!!!!"

Oh, I got it, but I decided to talk about driving instead.

sorry mate.. youll never get a Mao Yuen in Japan.

i think youre thinking Cantonese or Mandarin dude.

oh, and to answer... i want to be Dennis ( with a Swayze quaff )

rent...i'm afraid that you might go "postal" someday
or that you are truly a sadist..and i hate you..lol
cause i HATE waiting in lines

*still thinking of a "i would like to be..""
i'm more of a reaction person ...

would you be dennis w/ or without the mullet?

with of course.

i would like to be a U-scan

Sincer you're all party poopers, here's another one:

I'd like to be...

One of those cops in charge of protecting a lead witness in some mob lawsuit. And so, while we me and some of the other detectives have the witness with us in some dingy hotel room, awaiting the trial, keeping him safe...we can watch as he mentally crumbles. As he paces back and forth, telling us how he's gonna be fucked once he gets to prison. How the Mob will get to him no matter where he is. And then we'll promise him that he'll be safe in our witness protection program. And this will bring him some solace. Not a lot, but some.

But the best part is, we'll secretly know that he doesn't stand a chance in the program. And we'll purposely crack jokes about this behind his back. But do them loud enough so he can hear us from his room while he tries to get some much needed sleep.

you SADIST you...

and rita can rain on anybody's parade if she wants
*crashes the party

*still trying to think of something

i see dennis is now contributing to the forums since he failed to contribute anything in the chat room earlier!

Ouch!

That was you in there?

yeah, i'm a real winner

Anyone who asks me about where to buy foreign movies online IS a winner.

(nods head and gives a slow, triumphant thumbs up)

well i had to ask, cause hkflix and dvdasian are out of stock of the two movies i was ordering. but they had the other three movies i ordered for my friends.

what are the movies..i'm thinking of asking them to be sponsors for my film club that i'm running at school

have you heard of "the returner" ..i pass by a store that was selling it..it's a japanesse action sort of matrix looking film with takeshi kaneshiro (chungking express..fallen angels..and i was supposed to go to the same school as him..sigh). i didnt get it cause i;m afriad that it sucks..and that i am low on cash..but yeah..

i ordered for myself, ichi the killer uncut two disc and attack on the gas station. for my friends i ordered volcano high (which was awful, but they liked it), my schoolmate the barbarian and battle royale two disc directors cut special edition

that is what you were asking me right? what movies i ordered?

also, no i have not heard of the returner

Yes, "Volcano High" was a waste of stunts and wirework. I bought it off eBay and sold it on eBay the next week.

And I hate to break it to you but, "Attack The Gast Station," is even worse. Those Koreans can't direct for shit.

fuck me. that is what i get for ordering movies i know nothing about.

ah well, that is how i came across biozombie, and i happen to like that movie a lot.

okay this is the thing..i find that with korean cinema..you either really like it..or hate it
in the case of volcano high..i saw it at TIFF (toronto international film fest) at the midnight screening..sitting front row center..it was great..it's funny..very manga like..loved it... but when i saw it again the next day in the morning (i had the extra ticket..so might as well), the crowd was unresponsive so the movie tanked for me...but yes the movie is grossely exaggerated and seemed forced at times..but ti's fun.
in terms of attack the gas station..it's hilarious but they didnt push it enough..it would have been so much better (i cant remember exactly what was it..i think the ending was a bit disappointing..or how they try to make us sympatheize with the characters..but just seems formulatic and forced). but i liek it..
have you seen sympathy for mr vengence?
i missed it at TIFF..cause i was so so sick and had to stay home and gave up my tickets..but i saw it at the film reference library in feb..it was good..but again..didnt realize its full potential..perhaps i am too critical

in terms of ichi uncut..what region is it..have they finally released a R1 or no region version? battle royale dir cut...*drools*...
school mate the barbarian as in the HK flick with nicholas tse...i liek the fight scenes..only saw half of it on the tele

cant wait for that samurai movie to premiere at TIFF this year..from the same director of versus (ry...something..great i forgot his name)..saw ALIVE last year at TIFF..was horribly disappointed and ended up apologizing to people after the screening and throuhgout the fest cause i hyped it up...

biozombies was fun..i loved it..how it didnt take itself too seriously..but my freind hated it..he's a big romero fan..he hated it...

i got region free dvd player yo. and yeah, with nicholas tse. we just freaked over the funny incoporation of rival schools in the movie cause we were planning on doing something that cheesy with our movie, with that same game.

and yes the koraens are iffy in terms of their movies..i still think they are ripping off the HKs and japanese cinema..last year at TIFF..the korean cinema was showcased..but i didtn catch a lot of it..but with my experiences with korean movies..i have always been disappointed by it...

with your movie?
i love rival school..OMG you're liek the only person who knows about rival school..that is the only game i know how to play..lol..but whenever i go to people's houses i'll be like "let's play rival school" and they all look at me funny
but that movie is sort of similiar..or has the same feel as volcano high
have yous een the young and the restless series?

i still need to kill my region reader thingie on my laptop

no, but i want to get the young and the restless series, cause i'm a fan of sam lee, nicholas tse and jordan chan! do they really go in any order, cause i know there are like six of them

me too..
they do go in an order..but it's not necessary for you to see it in that order..there are a lot of spin offs..
i love jordan chan and sam lee
you listen to LMF as well? sam lee also raps for LMF>.and jordan chan also raps..lol

and when i said our movie, we don't really make "movies" just like short film type things. nothing high quality or nuthin, just for fun type stuff.

i bought the LMF dvd, Dare Ya! i didn't see Sam Lee in it though. and i only have like three of their mp3's, i want more!

i bought some of their cds..but i dont knwo where i've put them..i have some of their songs on computer somewhere..i really like "love is.." with sammi cheung...
hmm..regardless..you ARE making MOVIES
i need to start something..soon....
*feeling the itch

sadly ms rita might sleep soon

I'd like to be...

The sweating government agent in a crappy suit, who rants about everything and opposes any ideas the hero comes up with.

I liked Attack the Gas Station too. Other good korean flicks that comes to mind: Joint Security Area, The Isle and Address Unknown. Shiri/Swiri is crappy korean version of Mission Impossible

Hrm, I've been told by a couple of friends of mine that I [i]need[/i] to see Battle Royale, I suppose I really ought to get around to it. And yeah, Biozombie, haha, great movie. And that Rolls chick, she's cute.

I read about the returner online today. Don't know too much about it, but I'd like to see it. It was one of those premises where it can either be amazing or suck real bad. I don't see myself taking the chance on it because I dont have any money, but if any of you all see it, let me knw what you th9ink.

Also, Japanese zombie fans, Junk got a US release. That's a fun little movie.

Oragamilips, have you see Three? If so, tell me what you thought. I really want to see it, but, again am not taking many wimsical chances since I am low on cash.

JUNK??? i remember falling alsleep to it..lol..i guess i wasnt in the right state of mind to watch it (i tend to watch 5 movies in a row, so by the end of the 4th. unless the 5th is spectacular...i fall alsleep)>
speaking of zombies..anyone seen WILD ZERO..zombie and rock and roll..good times good times...just that i was slightly disappointed.
i want to see the isle
i saw three..but no it's not worth getting, it's a huge disappointment. i think only the korean short (out of the three) is watchable...well the leon (HK) one is alright too. it's so so..try to rent it somewhere. i hate it when before i found this great video store downtown, i used to spurlge and buy all these "controversial" flicks and after watchign it, it sucked..and i got all pissed off at myself for spending the bling on shitty movies.
hmm..the returner..well i want to see if nay of my friends have to (they buy vcds liek crazy)...i love takeshi kaneshiro..he's ..well not only good looking but..yeah..maybe he's like the keanu of asian (cause i was going to say good actor..but that's iffy).

let me know if you want an indepth review of three..or any other films..i think i NEED to start writing...i always been putting it off

oh we should start a new thread..any opinion on the topic...right now it's sort of leaning towards asian cinema

an airborne ranger. i wanna jump from aeroplanes!

i think the japanese suicide airplane thingie would be more fitting

I'm still trying to figure a good "i would like to be"
