The Internet is for Porn!



Avenue Q's the Internet is for Porn, sung by characters from World of Warcraft..

Avenue Q, incidentally, is a play that just ended its run in Singapore. It's an adult-version of "Sesame Street" that deals with issues of the post-college set. It taught me stuff like the uses of the internet (porn), what the most stable business is in times of economic uncertainty (porn), and that when you help someone, you can't help helping yourself, and words like "schadenfreude".

And its really quite funny, many youtube videos abound, check it out!

Tropic Thunder Roars!



This is one ultra hilarious movie - its a movie about a movie about a book about.. we'll end that here due to spoilers.

But yes, it's satirical, it's rude, it's cool! It's a movie about a movie (oh I said this already..), and get this.. Robert Downey Jr acts as a white Aussie actor, a method actor (multiple-oscar winner), really serious about his acting.. who undergoes skin pigmentation procedures in order to play a black man..

Did that bite yet? Are you piqued? I certainly was! That was one of the first lines in a trailer I saw some time back that got me laughing so hard at the prospect that I just HAD to catch Tropic Thunder when it came out. And no regrets there, I was LMAO (especially after the initially slow part) for most of the movie. Jack Black also has some extremely hilarious erm, several-liners, apart from his usual duh roles.

Don't miss the start of the movie, prior to the actual movie's start, leads off with some phoney Ads and movie trailers starring the actors who will be in Tropic Thunder. Its a great and entertaining way to get a quickie background on the characters who would appear in the actual movie. Again, Robert Downey Jr's Satan's Alley trailer scored multiple points with Sherm. She proclaimed later that she'd watch it if it were a real movie.



Maybe Sherm will oblige us with an inspired review (hopes!) lol..
