Sights and Sounds

Let's begin with

Batman: The Dark Knight -which I caught on Sunday. I didn't even know the title of this movie except for the 'Batman' due to the large number of Batmans that have come and gone over the years. I did a little bit of googling and came up with the list of batmans. However, the stories all clash in some way or another, save for the one with George Clooney. Some say Two Face/Harvey Dent arose from a acid-spilt-on-face-accident, but some say it was because of a fire. Soooo... sadly all the Batmans can't be linked unless the actor/director works on them. E.g. Then's Michael Keaton and Now's Christian Bale who have both acted in 2 episodes each.

And did you know Batman first came out as a fat and pudgy hero?? REally unglam and fat. Arts central shows some of those B-grade episodes once in a while.

Ok enough of the facts and more on opinions. Good movie or not? It's really a matter of preference. I suppose compared to other Batman movies (George Clooney, Val Kilmer) this one's much better. Heath Ledger!!! =(

However I personally don't really like Batman to begin with, I prefer more light hearted, nerdy, less chauvanistic hero alter-egos such as Peter Parker compared to the masculine, over-achieving and flirtatious Bruce Wayne. Batman shows are always oozing with ceps, biceps, triceps, quadraceps, quintaceps, cheesy one-liners and cliche 'lessons-learnt', it's a movie style from a different time altogether, unlike modern movies such as Juno, american Gangster, etc. Script was really deliberate and unrealistic, perhaps because it's based on a comic book. It's not bad, it's just not what I prefer, get it? aiya, just watch la.

But Spiderman cuter. :D

speaking of shows I caught the recent one man + his band recital by Robin Goh. It was wittingly titled 'Happy Robin', which, if you notice, is a euphamism for him because our censorship board wouldn't allow something so explicit. It was rated R18. Sing song only leh, R18. Anyways, Robin Goh, in case you don't know, is a well-known name on stage, he was one of the Chang & Eng brothers, he was the Man in Man of Letters (ok I forgot the characters name la). He performed as Aladdin, in the Asian Boys Volumes, and much more. Basically he's a musical kind of guy, with an excellent voice. All right his showmanship isn't fantastic, but enough la. anyways he spent the evening belting songs about loving him and missing him and waiting for the right man (you get the idea) Which I found absolutely adorable. He talked about his first love, which was really cute, he's also quite a tiny guy, which also adds to his cuteness because everytime he got on his high stool he struggled like a child. Haha.. And as you can seee by the picture, he's extremely proud of his sexuallity and declares it loud and clear with his diamond ear stud! I've yet to see him without it. I bet it was gross for him to do kissing scenes with Emma Yong or whatever female co-star he had. HAha..

And not to forget!! RJ Rosales was there to support (along with a lot of big theatre-shots) like Emma Yong, Ivan Heng, (AC people, I saw Lee Th ean Ho there!!)

RJ is one stunner. My sister thinks he's probably gay, but I'd like to think he's not. He's so dreamy~!! Plus he's going to have his one-man+band recital in September too!! :D:D

Gleeeee.
