amani got her head shaved for her new flick.
so what's the fuss. everyone is, like, soooo impressed
i dont care if she gets a mohawk.
i dont care if she gets it painted blue.
i dont care if she pierces her whole head.
the only thing that would make her a better actress is if she stops playing the same role over and over and over again. the wide-eyed innocent damsel in distress.
BIG YAWN.
abused daughter? gol and gincu and the current one (so i hear)
unlucky in love? sepet and cinta
gubra and muhsin? spare me the horrifying details, please.
and seriously, i mean seriously -that yasmin ahmad is destroying whatever ounce of talent amani has. seriously. you get the same girl, same role, same script. oh and just to show how different i am from other Malay directors, I'll always get a Chinese guy to play the hero. pure genius innit?
pretty soon everyone's gonna think she's only good for one role. and all the directors will be like
"err...hmm gadis kampung teraniaya..hmmm who would be perfect? let me see..oh yes! amani is the best. she fits the mold perfectly!"
versatility anyone?
she churned out the first movie. pretty good. she churns another dozen. same stuff. how can a dozen same so-called 'different' movies be up there for a movie that is 'something different'. again and again.
different indeed.
so amani is her muse. have some sympathy for the poor kid. show some versatility. she's doing to amani what yusof haslam did to erra fazira. like wow. stereotypical. Uma Thurman is Quentin's muse. Now he did wonders for her.
Yeah well. You can argue they've won awards. So did AR Badul once upon a time.
Feed them Yasmin. Feed them.

Speaking of being fed, had a long overdue Saturday lunch with Al and KA.
Met Al while working at the old company. I was suppose to hand him over my job just before i left and we got along fine those few days. After I left, we arranged for lunch which was always rescheduled even until he quit his job and started a new one.
KA was the best friend from uni days. Oh God. the shit we did. Haven't been able to catch-up for ages either. And i had her birthday gift still.
I decided to meet them both last Saturday.
Kath was tipsy from the drinks. Wasn't sure. She was giggling a lot after those drinks.
I had seven apple juice refills. And one guava. And had to pee a lot.
Al was suffocating from me and KA's smoking.
It was a great combination.
Its been ages since I had those 5 hours pointless lunches. And we decided not to tip the waiter cause he was late in refilling my juices.

KA. always ready for a bit
of camwhoring

Al. He's a vegetarian and a good son.
Well, sometimes.
My phone so antique wan you know. No, mine is worst. No!! mine was THE worst.
