Barisan Rakyat - The last hope of the people

CLICK HERE TO GET THE PAKLALA-RINGTONE FOR YOUR PHONE NOW!!

Some time ago, The Peoples Parliament launched The People's Voice, and The People's Declaration.

DAP, PAS, Keadilan, PSM, and MDP quickly endorsed it. Pasok was the only BN party to endorse it, but now they are keeping mum on the issue.

The above mentioned opposition parties have not only fully endorsed and supported, but have incorporated these 2 important civil society documents into their manifestos.

A Barisan Rakyat has been born people!

The People's Declaration and The Peoples Voice are now a bridge between all these parties, essentially making a joint manifesto.

spread the word to all! Read the People's Declaration and People's Voice!

By endorsing it, the Barisan Rakyat has pledged to voice out and fight for the people. Thats why i hope you will encourage everyone you know to support the Barisan Rakyat, who are (for the most part) going on 1-on-1 fights against the Barisan Nasional.

Below is the link to the People's Voice and People's Declaration. Please read it and understand it. Im sure you will have no problems supporting it.

HIDUP BARISAN RAKYAT!!

Comedy Court and the elections

Comedy Court has come out with something great for the elections! Funny as it is, I hope you also read the message behind it! Say no to RTM and the sleepy PM! Enjoy!

A James Bond style dumb spy-comedy it is!!

Its settled. Derek and I have had a chat and we have decided that we are going to go with an Action-Comedy film, with a James Bond style theme (although this will be a dumb comedy instead of something serious). Apart from that we havent realy gone past that idea, but at least we now have a definate heading!

Maybe we can do something called 'The Spy who Laughed at Me' as opposed to 'The Spy who Loved Me'?? LOL just a random thought. Who knows....

So now that we have a definate topic and heading, I hope to see more input from other people! Start sending in your ideas and suggestions people! We need a story for a funny James Bond style spy comedy! What would YOU like to see incorporated into such a film?

Remember, this is a comedy. So anything appropriate to the dumb spy idea whether its slapstick, idiocy or a witty line; all suggestions will be much appreciated. It just occured to me that Jhonny English made an attempt at such a film, but maybe we can take a slightly different approach? Rather than a stupid spy, maybe we can have a semi-intelligent spy who ends up in funny situations instead? Just a thought.

Anyway, for this idea to work, I think we are realy gona need more input from other people. SO please send us your ideas, and maybe even talk to other people to get ideas from then! Once again please send them in as comments.

Hopefully by Easter there will be something concrete to start updating the BlueMarble Productions website with!

Proposals for our next film

Heya! back to the discussion on the film!

Ever since shoe suggested stop motion, it seems a host of people have jumped on the bandwagon and called for a stop motion film. Unfortunately, though interesting it may be, I currently dont have an interest in stop motion. On top of that, stop motion would be ALOT of work. First theres the story...We need to come up with a story appropriate to a stop motion film. Secondly, theres the making of the models. Whether you use clay, or plasticine, or whatever, itll be alot of effort. Finaly theres the whole process of filming it...TIME CONSUMING!! Might as well take loads of pics and use motion jpeg! :P

So anyway, glad got that cleared. 2nd idea is by me!
I saw a ghostbusters fan film last night (pretty good actually, even though lame), and thought to myself "hmm...this might work!" The problem with ghostbusters is that I forsee even more work than starwars, esp with the effects department. Star Wars was rudimentary (albeit time consuming) effects. Ghostbusters is sumthin else... Also, we will need better actors, as unlike star wars, effects cant realy patch up shoddy acting! Actors will need to be able to potray the silliness and serious stupidity necessary to make the film good.

And the third idea is back to the action-comedy. Here it branches into 3:

• Rush Hour style
• Asian/Apologetic Viking (yet to decide)
• James Bond spy type (but stupid comedy instead of serious)

As usual, all will need a kick-ass story, good actors and great filming and editing (the third is covered by me! :P)

Comments and feedback more than welcome. As usual please leave in the form of a comment and NOT on Cbox. Thanks! Ive turned off the moderation so that it is easier and quicker for comments to go up, thus acting more like a forum / discussion.

BluRay Wins!!

The great format war of the early 21st century has finaly come to an end. Toshiba has announced that they will cease production of HD-DVD players. With this announcement, the path ahead for BluRay is clear. The format war is over.

Of course this will not realy come as much of a suprise to those of you who have been following the developments of the HD arena, most of us were solidly backing BluRay anyway. But for most people out there, it comes as of little (if any) consequence because both BluRay and HD-DVD have been so remote back in Malaysia.

For most people the only mention of BluRay was from the PS3. It comes therefore as no suprise that one of the major factors in BluRay's triumph was the Playstation 3. The final blow to HD-DVD came when 20th Century Fox switched allegiance to BluRay, marking the eventual end of HD-DVD. Microsoft is probably at a loss now since the Xbox-360 (while supposedly superior to the PS3) supports HD-DVD (although you have to buy an external drive unlike the pS3). The PS3 also had the edge in that it came out first (correct me if im wrong). Though I guess MS probably erred for caution which is why they decided with an External HD-DVD player, that way it be much easier to make the switchover to BluRay.

The battle between BluRay and HD-DVD was a big one in America, and to a slightly lesser extent in europe. Only this year did BluRay players appear on the Malaysian market (albeit with ridiculous price tag XD) HD-DVD? well i think they might have come a little bit earlier, but in general it was never that economical to sell either back home. This will probalbly change in the near future of course, now that BluRay has won. And with BluRay having being successfully cracked by the pirates (WOOHOO!!) its only a matter of time... Heck pirated BD discs might probably appear before the original ones....

A must see film

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1282796533661048967

A very educational and moving film that is guarenteed to change the way we view the world around us, and all things living

Its 1.5 hours long, but please spare the time to watch it. Dont ask me what its about. I purposely do not want to elaborate because everyone will just brush off the topic, secretly knowing that they are more comfortable being blissfully ignorant.

I am opening up this blog for all to have a frank, open and mutualy respectful discussion regarding topic.

JUST WATCH IT DAMN IT!!!!!!!

Parliament has been desolved...time to start making demands!!

On the 13th of Feb (1 day before Valentines Day), our sleepy PM Badawi turned into the Lying 'caretaker' PM Bodohwi when he announced that as of that day (the 13th - his favorite number) Parliament will be dissolved as His Majestey the King has given his assent to his request. This is a 180 degree turn from his previous statement less than 24 hours beforehand. I quote Badawi

"No, not tomorrow, (the date parliament is to be dissolved)"

and when pressed further if its going to be the last cabinet meeting before elections:

"What makes you think it's going to be the last cabinet meeting? The cabinet meeting will go on, go on and go on. You are the smart aleck, you all enjoy circulating the rumours” .

Mr 'Nice Guy' Bodohwi has blatantly lied to the Malaysian people, and his pathetic excuse was that he needed the King's permission before he could say anything. Granted that the Agong has to give his consent, but that dosent give him the right to lie! He could have said that he is still unsure, or simply evaded the question, or even just say no comment! But he chose to openly and blatantly tell a LIE. Im wondering if he actualy didnt intend to dissolve parliament, and if is sudden change of mind was due to the monkey KJ (the son-in-law) whispering stuff into his ear while he was dozing!

Anyway back to my topic: Now that elections have been announced for March 8, with a 13 day campaigning period (again Bodohwi's fav number) the BN goons are bound to be about putting up flags and posters, and going door to door seeking your vote by giving you election goodies. NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE YOUR DEMANDS!! Ask for whatever you want, no matter how ridiculous it may be. Its election time!! Milk it to the max while you can, and then when you go to the polls, kick their lying, cheating, vote-buying, ISA butts!

haha of course do the same to the opposition too! (that is if they go around trying to buy your vote) As Jack Sparrow says "take all you can, give nothing back" Harvest the fruits while you can, or youll miss the boat! If your not eligible to vote, tell ur parents and relatives to do it for you. Make as many demands as you want! At the same time, if theres a ceramah or whatever in your area, you can go and publicly ask the MP-wanabe whatever you want, ask him(or her) for his stand on things important to you, and humiliate him if he cant give a proper answer or lies.

On a more serious note, if your from any of the Constituencies below, please take a look at the 'Get an MP' initiative by the peoples parliament. They are seriously trying to find an MP (wheter opposition or independant) that will stand up for the people. If there is anything that concerns you, now is the time to voice it out. Hey its election time! It may just make a difference who knows?

Rasuah Sayang

I just had to post this. There is a new version of Rasah Sayang going around the internet. It describes everything thats wrong with Malaysia. Not sure which is the original, but Ive put together the version which I thought was the funniest. ENJOY!

Budak mongolia di luar pagar,
Ambil C4 tolong letupkan,
Saya budak baru nak mengajar,
Kalau salah you duduk diam - diam.

Penuh dengan banyak binatang,
Ada beruk, monyet dan kera,
Kalau pergi sana bawalah kacang,

Kalah 5 - 1 kepada Cina,
Semalam pula kalah kepada vietnam.

Kata Samy pula jangan dihasut,
Mau sapu isu di bawah selimut,
Bila Samy naik gelabah and kecut,
akan luput kareernya di sg. siput.

Eh Malaysia sudah mau hancur
rasa sayang sayang eh!

Happy Chinese New Year!!

GONG XI FA CHAI!!!

My first CNY away from home. Im so sad! I have no idea what to do for CNY, but either way it doubly sucks cause Thursdays are my busiest in the whole week!. Sigh, this year i guess its gona be quiet. No Ang Pows, no long visitng streaks. No CNY goodies (haha used to stuff myself silly!), No crazy time with friends.... SIGH............

Anyway, happy chinese new year to everyone, and hope you have a good time, even though most of us arn't around (either UK or Aussie or wherever).

PS: About the film, I came up with the idea of 'The Apologetic Viking', or better yet. 'The Asian Viking' LOL what dyu guys think. Shu, stop motion would be realy alot of effort. Satya, yea I was thinking along the lines of Rush Hour, but then we need good action and actors.... COMMENTS WELCOME!!

Any Ideas for a new film?

As I said before, Derek and I have been talking for sometime about making another film, but that we've been brain-dead when it came to ideas. Now before you all jump onto the Star Wars idea, stop. I dont think I want to do ANOTHER Star Wars film, partly because its waaay to much work (no matter how fun it is), but also because I want to try my hand at other types of films as well. OK I admit it, I love doing sound and special effects, but theres more to the world of film thatn star wars!!

So anyway, back to topic. I just sent a message to Derek proposing that we do some sort of Action-Comedy. Im not sure when he will reply with his thoughts on the idea, but I thought Id want to start looking into the idea seriously. Problem is, I have absolutely no idea where to start!!

So Im here asking around for ideas, suggestions and comments. I realy need to know what you guys think about us making an Action-Comedy. If you have an idea or a story that you want to see turned into a film, PLEASE do share it, and it will certainly be most appreciated! (weather or not we take it up)

Please leave any genuine and concrete ideas in the form of a comment to this post and NOT on the Cbox! That way itll be more permanant. Once we have started on something, Ill post an update here regarding the matter, and hopefully it wont be too long before there is some news regarding another film on the BlueMarble Productions website!
