So I know we've not been able to talk much as your really busy as well but here's the update then on whats goin with me in Dubai :) silap tho i dont have any picts, just stories really :S
SO as you know Dubai International Film Festival 2009 is on :) which means SAE film students all get off classes but have to work at DIFF. Which is cool coz all we do is film celebrities n press confrences and nonesense like that :D its great fun!
No major celebs just yet, we had Mandy More, the Queen of Jordan andddd my favourite.... AMITAB BACHAN!! :) hehe that was funn..
Me n Chris have been chilling out more like everyday haha. We both have the same schedule and off days as well and coz we're working at DIFF we get to watch free indy films n stuff so thats what we've been doing. :)
We watch a film called NYMPH. Its a thai/dutch film, and it was not too bad hardly any dialogue tho which was a bit of a bore after a while. It was basically about this married couple and the wife's cheating on the husband for her boss. The husband is a photographer, and they both go on holiday, where they camp in this forest. The husband and her are not really affectionate although he does try to be loving and the most dialogue between the two were just basically him asking her to make love and she replying with no I've got a headache... so not as interesting as it could have been as she was quite hot ;) hahaha. Right so one day he walks into the forest to take pictures and he falls in love with this tree..which we find out has a "nymph" living in it (F.Y.I a Nymph is a tree sprit normally a woman who's attractive and has lotsa sexual desires hehe thus the term nymphomaniac) Yeah so he sorta falls in love with her and there's this weird scene of him caressing n rubbing himself up on this tree. Then one night he hears stuff outside the tent n he walks out n faints, then goes missing. Wife wakes up cant find him, gets picked up by her boss and sent home, falls asleep wakes up next day to find husband sleeping downstairs. Story continues husbands a bit wierd plants lotsa plants in the house tries to make love again gets rejected by wife. Boss in turn breaks up with his wife, only to find out that he has no chance with the other girl coz she suddenly find love in her new "improved" husband. She goes home to admit to her husband that she's been cheating and guess what? He already knows! haha then they finally make love (where all we see is a black screen, n was quite annoyed as the film was rated 18+). THEN COME THE BIG FINALE, the boss comes to her house to look for the husband but he's GONE! DUM DUM DUM!!! Wife rushes back to the forest to look for him find the tree and his slipper next to it, gets all psycho and starts slashing the tree. We then cut to a scene where the husband is holding a naked woman (apparently the nymph living in the tree) who is bleeding. Then We cut back to wife who faints, husband carries wife back out of forest where boss is waiting, they have a conversation which we missed coz someone screwed the projector so the subtitles we off the screen, but coz of my brilliantly blunt knowledge in thai, I understood that the husband said to the boss to send his wife home leave her wife alone n go back to his own wife. Then the movie ends with the Husband getting naked n walking back into the forest... 1 hour of my life wasted, the other 15mins of the movie I was on the phone with you and i dare say that was the best part of the movie for me :)
The other movie I watched was called "MOON" this one was a british film and the main actor was SAM ROCKWELL. You may know him as the mean/funny prisoner from the green mile.
Well this time he's working on the moon for a energy company who's found a way to harvest the energy from the sun as a better source for fuel n what not. So yeah this guy is on the moon alone n cant wait to get back to his wife n kids, he see's recorded messages from his wife n stuff, but later finds out that he's been cloned and after every 3years he dies n a clone is revived and that they never really get to go back to earth. Untill one day a he crashes and a new clone is revived. This clone ventures out to where he crashed n recues him. So now there are two of him. Hah-ha! And they find a way after a few struggles to get the new clone back to earth, he also finds out that the company has been lying n cloning him and that his wife has already passed away. So pretty emo... I felt his pain especially when his wife was crying n telling him how much she loved him n missed him...n i thought to myself thank God im not that far away from you :P heheh :)
And thats basically it for the movies, 2mrw goin to watch either this documentary on the band "white stripes" or some short films from asia, there's one in there by this singaporean dude who is a friend of a friend of a friend hahaha so we'll see how that goes.
And just to top it all off, I've now got this lovely scene of a tree in a garden next to the beach, with me climbing it trying to hammer nails, and you holding a glass of lemonade, laughing as you watch me haha :) I love you Angel, Muah!
