[Movie] Captain America The First Avenger: Reveals About Masculinity

After I watched Captain America on Thurs night, my first reaction was "Does such liquid exist in real life?". For guys like me who are not tall and the body is naturally not fit according to the normal society judgement, is quite a relevant issue. Imagine if there is such liquid, although only change the body shape, but it will change a person life, no?

Well, back to the movie again. The movie was pretty amazed me. I am totally like the story plot. I wont be a spoiler here, but just a reminder for watching it from beginning of the movie, if not you will miss the whole point that I am talking about now.

Captain America as the Marvell Super Heroes, can be said as one of the weakest. His only ability (according to the movie) is he has 4 times faster of normal human metabolism, I assume here everything in his body become 4 times faster, including brain. But, the fact that he has brain long time before he become the super heroes defeats some of the Heroes that I know i.e. wolverine. By this kind of ability, let us do a calculation:

Assume that

• Normal human running speed: 20 km/hour, so he will have running speed of 80 km/hour, means the speed of card in the movie was less than 80 km/hour?
• Normal human can jump up to 4-5 metres long, so he can jump up to 16-20 metres long? Well, it might explain one scene in the movie.

But if thats the logic of faster metabolism, doesnt it mean he need 4 times of normal food consumption as well? But too bad the movie never showed us the scenes where he ate. Cant imagine if they show it, and he was having dinner date with a girl. LOL

Beside the Captain America itself, the villain is pretty ugly. When I saw it, My friend and I were laughing because it is uglier than voldemort (yup, we laughed about Voldemort also before). *sorry, but I neither watched cartoon nor read the comic before*

This movie also proves to audience how actually girl in general judge a guy. Indeed girl judges a guy superficially by looking at the physical body, job position, etc *name it as what you want that you think it is superficial*. But your true love is the one who judge you from your characters that you have, no? Well, at least thats what another message that I think the movie want to deliver to the audiences. *Captain America has the biggest heart among his cohort of army people*

You also might heard from your friend to stay at the cinema after the credits of the movie. Well, it is quite true there are extra scenes *cant reveal it here*, but if you are in hurry to somewhere else (maybe need to go back home earlier), f**k it, dun wait. You can watch the extra scenes at the youtube I think, although not anytime soon. Because the credits way much too long for you to wait, I was waiting for 5 minutes, and I was holding back my urine in my bladder due to this. :(

To end this, let me show you the synopsis of the movie (took from here) and the trailer video of it from youtube.

It is 1942, America has entered World War II, and sickly but determined Steve Rogers is frustrated at being rejected yet again for military service. Everything changes when Dr. Erksine recruits him for the secret Project Rebirth. Proving his extraordinary courage, wits and conscience, Rogers undergoes the experiment and his weak body is suddenly enhanced into the maximum human potential. When Dr. Erksine is then immediately assassinated by an agent of Nazi Germany's head of its secret HYDRA research department, Johann Schmidt aka the Red Skull, Rogers is left as a unique man who is initially misused as a propaganda mascot. However, when his comrades need him, Rogers goes on a successful adventure that truly makes him Captain America and his war against Schmidt begins.

 

Me, Twitter and Butter Factory

If you follow me on twitter and saw my timeline last night, here is what I am going to say: social networking is really an anal sometimes. Why would I use such strong nasty word? Because I was (or I am, since I still can feel it now) so annoyed due to what happened last night. I tweeted this to one person (she works at butter factory!) because bloody DM didnt work. *tried zillion times of copy-paste for DM*

then right after this tweet, my friends who followed me replied the tweet as shown at following timeline:

Okay, I know all of those conversations above are in Indonesian, so if you do not understand it, I will not try to translate it, ask your other Indo friends to translate it for you if you really want to understand everything. 

Maybe some of you might questioning why would I go to butter factory in the first place? I need to admit that I need a break from my routine, thus I went to club for dancing. Yeah, literally dance. You can ask some of my close friends (let me know if you want to know who) that I can dance like nobody business if I feel the music is good. *Oya, can ask people who attended the PINTU Prom Night 2011 and saw me dancing*

Since I have roomie now, so I cant blast the music in the room  and dance as free as I can. Thats why I need some spaces to dance last night. Since the school about to start as well, which mean the hectic days will come, last night was also one of opportunity for me to express myself.

Last night was my second time went to butter factory. My first time went there, I enjoyed it, till I had piles of sweating all over me, and one of my friend of friend told me that I danced way much crazier than she did? I was laughing when she said that. Thats the reason I agreed with my friends when they asked me to go to butter factory last night, due to customer loyalty that being created from good experiences before.

But then, why would I tweeted such thing to the person in the first place? It because she is part of marketing person for the club, so she would know better. And actually I think the guy who checked our ID, actually can allow us to get to another room (for above 21), but since I bloody honest so we ended up at Fash. *I think it is due to my birthday only about 1 month to go* 

We paid, we put our bags, then we went in the Fash room, and you know what welcome us? This poster:

Thats the reason why I tweeted the person! In fact, all of us couldnt stand the crowd and leave quite early, with the fact we always took a break after 40 minutes being inside for 3 times are good enough for us to leave early and we rather had our supper instead.

I think next time, they shall put the poster outside the club, so unintended people who have no idea whats happening can know before hand.

And I just checked the website when I am doing this post, and the information there also was not so obvious, but there is such info, yet people might miss it when the majority part of the poster is not about the info! I did screenshot for that.

What will you take if such things happened to you?

For me it will be: check the website of club you wanna go (the date, the event, the cover charge, the admission age etc), do not anyhow tweeted (althought your DM doesnt work!), and bring your cool friends to accompany you whenever and wherever you are! =.=

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 Is About 7 and 2 Numbers!

Yeah finally I watched the last part of Harry Potter series. It was really satisfying by the end of movie when you know that your since-ever-childhood story finally be completed as movie, although with not totally the same cast from beginning till the end (if you remember the Albus Dumbledore previous cast died few years back).

Then what about the title that I put here for this post? Well, it simply because here is Singapore, Harry first time screening at 14/7 (14 July), which 14 factor number is 7 and 2! And if you do realize, it is from 7th book and it is the 2nd part, well another 7 and 2. And I bought the movie ticket at 14SGD, which also have factor numbers of 7 and 2! Well, maybe I brag too much about number of 7 and 2, but just wonder why my life today is all about 7 and 2. O.o

I will not talk about the story of the movie here, coz most likely everyone knows the plot well or even better than me I guess (I read it few years back and I am the type of person who will not read story book twice or even more). So I will talk about the effects!

Nothing much fantastic effects at this part I think, part 1 has more fantastic effects thats what I can say now. But if you really looking for the effects inside this movie, especially if you are watching 3D or maybe IMAX, you will really looking forward for the part at Gringotts scenes, the Room Requirement scenes, and the initial invasion of Death Eater to Hogwarts. Beside than that I think it is nothing special about it.

I really love how the producer of the movie tells to the audience about Severus Snape story, and even my friend who watched with me and never read the book before said, this movie is the best movie of Harry Potter over all. I guess also they really have nice plot without a confusing story and whatever, and they did not cut the crucial part of the story! So the decision of them divided it into 2 parts is a good choice. Now I wonder what if every Harry Potter series that have similar thickness with the 7th book, being divided into 2 parts! Haha...

Oh, not going to spoil anyone imagination, the last scene when they finally become parents is really funny. But Hermione, seriously? I cant believe it.. :)

Not forgetting also about the scene where Neville Longbottom cut off Nagini head and afterward scenes are EPIC!

For girls who are Daniel Radcliffe fans, well here you can look at his body, 1 to him, 0 to Ruppert Grint at that particular scene after they swim out from the lake. :P

Online Society Around Me This Week

This week I received three website invitations-only invitations from my friends. As you expected, google+ is one of it. But seriously, google+ sucks, coz I received 2 invitations from friends, yet I cant get in to it? =.=

What about other 2 websites? Let me tell you about my experiences from those 3 invitations. :)

1. Quora
It was ealier of this week when one of my friend, David Lam, asked me whether I am inside quora or not. Well, I told him that I do not, then ask him what it is about. Then he told me it looks like yahoo-answers format website, but you can get in by invitation only and the people inside are like minded people and also they have their own expertise. Well, isnt it sounds good? Coz you can get answers of your questions from people that is more qualified and you can get to know their profile as well by clicking their name. :)

Apparently after a day, David can get in to Quora. Salute to his efforts in finding right people within his network. So after knew about it I simply asked him to invite me. And here I am inside quora.

2. Senatus
Senatus is one of online media magazine. Well, initally I have no idea that it is by invitation-only, when I browsed their facebook page. But well, when Ms Gwen told me that she will send invitation to both of us, me and Terence, thats the time when I just found out about their invitation only rule. Well I think it aligns with their preposition of branding and their limit for invitations each person is also a great idea I think, because indirectly it showss how influences a person that you invite to society.

So this one is actually one of the channel to become social butterfly? I have no idea about that. :D

3. Google+
Well, as I said earlier, Google+ sucks for me, or maybe they are not really that user-friendly to non-tech-savvy person like myself? I have no idea about that. Since I havent experienced it by myself from my own account so I cant really give any comments about it. (I only browsed from my friend accounts for few minutes).

Well as I told earlier as well that I get invited by 2 friends for this booming trend for a moment, here are the emails invitation from Dea and Terence:

Thanks everyone for your invitations. :)
