  • ArtificiallyVerbose · 3 years ago
    pete teo is awesome. cool, quirky music. kinda like the eastern, more melodic version of tom waits.

    will be waiting for your white on white review of gubra :)

    off to die too. cya!!!

    in my opinion, the big reason behind its uniqueness are the political and artsy fartsy pressure. so many satirical plays get banned by our fascist government but not sepet. why? because its deemed wrong to ban love.

    although yes, i think it should be interesting cause its one of the few movies that connotes Mal cultureto some degree of truth.

    ahh yes. what better way to seem like an inconspicuous critic than complimenting movies as such.

    artificially : isnt he? :) just listening to his music. i'm wondering if he's real.

    chinkian : GO WATCH LA!

    kristof : sepet got butchered by the censorship board too :) which plays got banned? who says the reason sepet wasnt banned was cos it was centred around love? better inconspicuous than openly self indulgent, my friend :)

    reallybites : haha yes i do. why, u want ah?! hahahaa

    Yes, weren't we swayed by Pete's lovely song to stay on. Btw, never thought you like Pete Teo as well? Lol, always had this impression that you're someone into the rock genre mostly? 'Cept for Damien Rice, that is. Can't wait to hear your review on Gubra. Are you awake yet?! Heh.
  • reallybites · 3 years ago
    yes i want hahaha. =p

    I like that you added non-spoiler in the title of the post.

    A lot of websites - particularly some writing about American shows that we are a little behind on like Lost (which sadly we are awaiting a comeback on), DH, etc. always have spoilers that they don't warn people about. So bad wan!

    I watched Gubra today!! and A.Samad Said was there!!!!
  • waifon · 3 years ago
    I loved Sepet. It's sorta controversial but heck, i loved the honesty of Yasmin Ahmad. I don't get the ending though where Jason got involved with an accident, him dead but yet Orkid still received a call from him?!
    huh?!
    Cant wait to watch Gubra!
    OH OH OH..I watched I Not Stupid Too today!
    It was SOOOOOOO good. fantastic beyond words. I cried like shite and the whole cinema was sobbing. Can hear sniffles all the time. It's pretty funny tho. albeit my shallow undertsnading for hokkien and mandarin, i pretty much grasped the meaning and message of the show. So nice. I seriously cried cus it's just so so so sad. I was touched. Still am=C
    I tried 2 of those in Australia and the last one in Hong Kong. One of the bars at Lan Kwai Fong. I think you can get it here but I don't really know where~

    turqoise : really? haha why thanks!

    emily t : haha i listen to a very very broad range of music. i've got a few of pete teo's tracks, but only the ones i liked :) and okay the review is up .. haha i think i was too indulgent, it's way freaking long

    reallybites : yes lor now you got it already lor, mean girl

    lalita : haha I SO KNOW how it feels to read a spoiler for a show you wanna watch and then go arghghghgh. haha it's such a horrible head-on-wall feeling

    cla : you mean he's finally stepped out of MPH Mid Valley? :D

    waifon : omg I Not Stupid Too is so good right?! touching and moving to the maximum!!! haha what la, now only u tell me about chocolate strawberry daiquiris in LKF ..!! the soonest i can go back there is like may and i dont really wanna go also. hahaha dammit!!
  • ArtificiallyVerbose · 3 years ago
    you should listen to pete teo's no black tie sessions on his website. those are his best imo.

    gubra sounds interesting. haha damn la i'm such a spoiler fetish :P but it sounds like one of those open ended movies where your imagination decides the fate of the characters.
  • Emily T · 3 years ago
    Thank you for the awesome review, Su Ann. And I can't believe I missed the very first part of the movie where the wife prepares the butter and kaya bread all because I was at a shop taking my time to eat butter and kaya toast!!! AHH. Will find a time to watch it again I suppose. Glad you like Pete Teo, I LOVE him. =) You can try listening to the Marianne Trilogy, since you like one of the Marianne songs.
  • pinkpau · 3 years ago
    artificially : will go download em :) haha i think gubra is more art than plot. you gotta watch it rather than read the synopsis .. :D

    emily : haha the irony of our situation ..! yea i've the other Marianne songs, but only kept Hush cos it was my fav :) Who For You is most definitely his best.

    Can't get tickets to watch GUBRA. what a joy sucker. I went to Fondue House at Hartamas instead. Cheese fondue was alright. Pretty satisfying in fact. Yums. Chocolate fondue was quite a disappointment though. The strawberries were sour leh. Chocolate was too little? Bleargh-ness. I'm betting on Haagen Dazs next.
    Oh spoilers. now I know Orked/ Orkid is married. ish. haha..but im so coming back to comment once i get to watch the movie. Probs next week.
    And why not HK in May? I'm sure somewhere in Bangsar or Hartamas has chocolate strawberry daiquiri..I'll tell you right away once I found it :D
  • pinkpau · 3 years ago
    waifon : haha yeah Gubra is selling like hot cakes! yargh i told you fondue house is cacat wan ..! dont want HK in may cos i wanna go to australia! melbourne, melbourne, melbourne .. :(

    Anyone got Pete Teo's number? I am sooooooo in love with what that man does for me. With talent enough to put all the wannabes in the world to shame and so so quirky and honest. Has he got a brother or something? :-P
  • pinkpau · 3 years ago
    'love sick kitten' : hahahaha, oh you cunning one.
