I present the much awaited Commentary the Musical, in which Josh and the rest of Dr. Horrible cast sing the commentary section in the DVD… and it’s just as Horrible!

I know I specifically mentioned that my trip to Bali would be featured next on. Lesson learnt: never trust the words of a world class procrastinator. But what if I tell you that it takes an awfully long time to upload and resize gazillion pictures individually on darned Photobucket? And that I’ve just found FastStone Photo Resizer, which resizes multiple batch of pictures and has a super easy user interface I nearly cried? Is that a good excuse?
Anyhow, let me show you the next best thing: my not-so-new-but-still-worth-mentioning strawberry dress.
Say whaaa-t???!?!!
It’s no news that I take so many leaves of absence from the Blogsphere, appearing randomly once or twice before going back on hiatus. Hm, what do you say? ‘Where did I go missing to this time?’ I’m glad you asked. *Hint hint: See Blog Title* Stick your eyes very closely ’cause a full blown post is next on this blog.
I’ve also added a ‘Snapescape’ category in this blog where I plan to talk about my muse regarding an ardently loved Potions Master, which happens to me like 24/7, 360/12 (all the loves gotta flow somewhere!). To maintain a sound mind, every one is cordially advised to turn their eyes away each time said subject is broached

Forget HBP and its most likely Snapeless movie, Twilight is making a box office phenomenon! All fall, people have been speculating the movie would suck and it’s true. Twilight sucks $money$. With a jaw-dropping $70.6 million opening in the US alone, not only has it joined the ranks of the 30 top openers of all-time, Twilight also managed to cover all their costs in only one (YES, ONE) day and beat Quantum of Solace by more than $42mill (say what you want, but teengirls rule this industry).
I’m not much of a critical person - I have a tendency to love all sorts of things. Therefore, expect major fangirl squeeing instead of an unbiased, critical review. This is just my gut reaction that is subject to change after many, many viewings. 
Overall, quite a faithful adaptation of the book and lived up to the hype. It has tons of funny and cheesy moments. Aaand I LOVE cheesy! Sparkly Edward, so my cuppa tea;)
Granted, it could have been better and less choppy, editing-wise. I have a mixed feeling about Catherine Hardwicke as the director. I love some of the things she’d done but not so much about others. I wish they had kept things like Edward ‘dazzling’ Bella, ’stupid shiny volvo owner’ and other Twilighty quotes. BUT. what truly pissed me off was that Malaysian version cut through the kissing scene! OMG, it was just a PG rated kiss so I don’t get why they cut it, plus the sudden change of scenes was really weird. Technically, I saw Carlisle got more action than Bella (wow this comment sounds so wrong lol).
Yet, for the lil’ tidbits I didn’t like about Twilight, I loved thousand things more♥ Kstew and the rest of the cast delivered,, I’m super in love with
Jasper and Rob totally nailed it. His Edward broods just enough and is not always ~too~ over the top (gotta admit, that’s already part of his character description) and he’s so hot it’s unfair to gaze at other mortal guys afterwards. The soundtrack was of course, oh-my-god-amazing, been listening to them for weeks (also has my fave, Clair de Lune, score!!).Bottom line, watching one of my favorite books in live action with fellow squeeing fans was such a gratifying experience. I’m sooo happy the movie was a huge hit that they expect to start filming New Moon early next year. HALE YES!

Reading the entries to my blog, it might come across lthat I’m a lazy blogger. The fact is, the entries I wrote that did not make the cut are more than the ones that did. This one almost didn’t get posted, but due to certain turn of events, well, here you go: not so fresh from the oven news.
—————————————————————————
2008 is proving to be a bad, bad year in the television history. First, The Hills’ nauseatingly (in)famous faux couple, Heidi and Spencer were reported to guest star in an upcoming episode of the most legendary tv show to date, How I Met Your Mother. And this just in: Heidi, Spencer and -wait for it- Kim Kardahsian have been confirmed to appear in the January episode. Sad.
Pushing Daisies is rumored to be getting prematurely axed this season.
The facts are these:
ABC is dissatisfied with the low rating and has told producers to treat the upcoming 13th episode as a series finale. They have until January to order new episodes but everyone, even the one persistently signing petitions to save PD, suspects that the decision has been made, and not a very good one at that. Plus, Daisies’ creator, Bryan Fuller has agreed to go back to Heroes (silver lining? you decide).
To have a critically acclaimed, unique show full of super talents like Kristin Chenoweth, Chi McBride and Jim Dale(!!!), wrapped up in only 13 episodes, clearly a result of poor promotional efforts… Fairytales don’t have happy endings, indeed. Sadder.
The head of cardiologist position in Seattle Grace Hospital seems to have been jinxed!!!!! After last year’s scandalous departure of Preston Burke, Grey’s Anatomy has showed another DADA professor syndrome by sending Dr. Erica Hahn off the OR.
As a series regular, Brooke Smith portrayed the lesbian top heart surgeon Dr. Hahn. How did she go? Was she in probation for cutting someone’s LVAD? Did she leave someone in the altar? Apparently: a hasty exit storyline that was concocted to break up Hahn-Callie’s blooming relationship. I miss those days when doctors don’t just quit their job because of a romance gone bad. The order to let Brooke go had come out of the blue. The actress was informed only a week before her last episode, the official reason being they could no longer write for her character.
The news has outraged gay community and raised much speculation: is there a bigger, hidden agenda behind this firing?
ABC has never been quicker to issue public statements, insisting the decision has nothing to do with Brooke’s lesbian character or any attempt on degaying the show. Of course, just like Isaiah Washington was not fired because of his homophobic comments.
To be fair, maybe this has nothing to do with anything rumored. Maybe it’s really creative issue. Personally, what I feel appalling is how ABC treated their actors. This kind of big decision isn’t made out of whim, and I found the ~graceful~ way the network handled it a total disrespect for Brooke. It’s definitely not a smart move for ABC and the show (unless they really believe that there is no bad publicity). Sometimes your biggest rival is yourself, and Grey has not been able to outperform its brilliant season two. With continuous controversy and possible similar fate for the next heart surgeon to grace Seattle Grace, seriously, ABC. Want people to stop watching Grey’s altogether? Keep firing.
Saddest.
—————————————————————————-
My daisies’ news is totally not fresh. As in several days ago, Pushing Daisies officially pushed up the daisies. Fans all over the world expressed disappointment to ABC for not giving the show a fair chance.
Fingers crossed that Fuller’s idea to tie the remaining loose ends (the last eppi is going to end in cliffhanger!!!) in a comic book, or better, a movie would be realised. Listening to Jim Dale’s voice in the big screen, awesome!
