Dragon Ball : Evolution Review

You know, with all the craze bout making movie adaptions of Marvel or DC comics, you'd think by now movie directors finally got the right guns to shoot a good movie. The rule is very simple - just follow the comics, make quick bucks and get themselves massaged in the spa looking at bodacious babes.

Here's a strip of comics on what 'Dragon Ball : Evolution' is all about after seeing the movie:







But noooo, director James Wong probably farted in his spa room just 2 minutes ago. By having completely revamped the story and slapping some totally unsuitable actors inside, this movie is a total let down for legions of loyal fans all over the world.

Everything just went wrong since the opening. The story changed. Timeline changed. Weird choice of actors. Bad dialogue. Anti climax. Yada. It felt as if the movie can't even elaborate itself well enough for those who never came across the comics, and yet if it expects comic readers to actually like it, why the total revamp? Beats my goober balls. *shrugs*

Infact, it's all about the race to find 7 dragon balls within an hour so Picolo could not take over the world. Reminds me very much of what The Day Before The Earth Stood Still movie, y'know the drill.. "we must hurry, we don't have much time left!" throughout the whole show.

This picture below probably sums up my review.



I wonder if he even read the comics? Akira Toriyama must be turning very picolo right now. Oh my!

Indiana Jones Review

SOOO I was dragged off to another one of those boring shopping malls recently; with my half opened ho-hum mouth and the look of a very unamused face in that very dull moment of my life that I had to actually PUT..........

....one step at a time, walking up till I reached the escalator mumbling to myself in shivers that sounded -- "n-nnnoooooot....ke---ker...---clothess Aaaaggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaainnnnnn..."

It was so bad my "Nnnn" could still be heard as I reached the top of the escalator.

As I sweeped my legs slowly like a brainsick zombie, the clouds thundered and gave a loud ROAR in the dark in AWE -- children ran every way and the trees shook like never before;
It was a moment of darkness that threw everyone in fear, for this very day marks the very beginning of death itself that has dawned upon us!!!!!

... I continued to walk slowly looking for clothes....err...which isn't even mine.

THEN a thin light glittered out of no where, so bright, so might, I wish I had and I wish I might that it instantly caught my eyes!


FOR THERE IT STOOD...



THE ONE TRUE LOVE THAT RULEZ THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



(Indy Song)

IT's INDIANA JONES AND HIS HARRISON'S FORD!!!


You know, I've always wanted his Ford.

I used to have these crazy dreams about driving all alone in one-BIG-SUV, with its spanking 131 inches wheel base and 20.1/20.9 departure angles and its unforgettably cool 8.7 minimum running ground clearance.....except that I never understood what those were.

..and THAT's why I bought a toy instead.

Yeap. I love Ford, so I'm a matured man. I bought Harrison Ford's figurine to represent my love for Ford vehicles. I mean it. It wasn't out of pure childishness surely. Oh You know how hard men are to understand...it's okay...don't worry..I didn't even doubt your thoughts. Move along now.

--------------------------

I was so surprised seeing Hasbro actually making these for the entire saga of Indiana Jones! Star Wars were great, but.. I never bothered because well....those toys are for kids, whereas my friends, my fellow goobery friends....

Indiana Jones, harkens back to the very early 80's where young Harrison Ford charmed thousands of women with his smart sense of humour and looks, glued even the male audiences with his full action packed stunts, filled with crazy Nazis all over the place chasing believable treasures. It was too good, in fact so good, I got conceived a year after the 1st episode. I think.

So with the box now apart, let's see what's inside :



- the cool infamous whippy whippidy whip.
- *zoiks* scary interchangeable hands.
- 1 x toy gun.
- heck even his cap can be taken off, how cool is that??
- finally....a *secret* ingredient.


The first thing that got unto me was, "DOES THE SKULL WORK?"

Let's try.



..................



.................................



.............................................. .. .......... ...


guess not!

Just for the record, that damned skull didn't even glow in the dark. DANG it Hasbro, I'll see you in court very soon.

tribunal case aside -- they came up with the whole saga of the Indiana Jones trilogy models, not just these :


I saw Marion from the Raiders of the Lost Ark, even younger version of Indy himself heck. And even the German mechanic was there. Heck. And some Nazis that I couldn't remember. Hiccup.


Oh yeah and you wanted to know what was inside the box of Secrets right?


(*drumrolls*)


It certainly doesn't look like an eye!

For the record, that damned eye of peacock didn't even glow in the dark too.



Dang Hasbro, that's it. I'm sending an elite over to kick your ass---







.......never mind.

Gas Crisis - The Origami Lesson


Oops! this post ended up longer than expected. You're saying....


1. Damn, another long one?! Just bring me to the point. Damn Damnit.

2. I love eating peanuts. SHOW ME ALL THOSE BRAINLESS CONTENTS NOW!!!














With the way fuel prices are going up, oh what're you going to do?!



You scratch your head, thinking hard for an answer, and you think about how hard you've been scratching your head........ hey this just isn't right!

--Snap!--


You bring yourself back in time, memories of the past darting through your mind --


--the first person you saw
---your first laugh
---- your first attempt at breast milk bottle
----- your first walking moment
------ your first time running
-------- your 1000th attempt at older breast milk bottle ------------ *zip*


------------ your very FIRST TOY! The most important thing in life!


--Snap!--

And it's costing you your life these days. Let's do a little recap :


With the way fuel prices are going up, oh what're you so going to do?!


Why you freaking make Origami Toys of course!


Why should you even bother??

Because some smart guy with the name of Christopher Beaumont have created extremely good DIY paper crafts. It's so good that you'll be convinced instantly thanks to the conversation I had with him earlier on :



Mr.Goober :Christopher Belmont, why these?

Christopher : "Simply print, cut and fold your model into a cute and fun paper toy."

Mr.Goober : So...you don't really care if people mistook you as part of those game boy castlevania series huh, you Belmont family you?

Christopher : "Simply print, cut and fold your model into a cute and fun paper toy."

Mr.Goober : ..you even have all those great characters from George Lucas, Marvel comics, Nintendo and *choke* Ultra mans?! What the?? You went into some geek school?

Christopher : .........

Christopher : "Simply print, cut and fold your --------- OOOOFFFFFfffff"



Wellllll...Chris is down for a while so let's take a look at some examples cubeecraft.com has to offer :

Including some of my favourites :


Sam and Max!


I've always wanted to cube Sam up, but this is too much :P




Indiana Jones - And the Kingdom of Boxed Skull


And hey theres' even Kirby!
And and and...


Mario and Resurrected Goomba!



Each characters come with their foldable layouts like this :
You just need to print 'em out and cut them silly.




Then with a little bit of patience..





Tada!!


And that was my first attempt
reducing the ever rising gas prices.



Next week, we'll see how we can save trees by not wasting papers.





Skipped and unsure what's going on?
choose again!

Burger Wars - Chicago 7

While everyone's been busy jumping from one Boulevard to the Spring and back from the Spring to one Boulevard,

Somewhere hidden far, far away from the galaxy..



There is unrest in the Galactic Senate.

Several hundred solar systems have declared
their intentions to leave the Republic.

This separatist movement, under the leadership of Count
Dooku, has made it difficult for the limited number of Jedi
Knights to maintain peace and order in the galaxy.

Senator Amidala, the former Queen of Naboo, is returning to
the Galactic Senate to vote on the critical issue of
creating an Army of the Republic to assist the overwhelmed
Jedi...

But her ignorance to understand the prawns behind the real situation
has defiled all future galaxies with new armies of Clones
that could be mutated with more of each other mindlessly.

They soon traveled across stars.

Meanwhile, back on a galaxy known as Earth.


A newly opened franchise named Chicago 7 appeared out of no where.

They belong to the confederation that sought all out to continue
the era of a zombified nation.


Serving innocent humanoids
with empty plates to keep them alive.


Well..

..serving what LOOKED like empty plates that is.



Upon opening these deadly cloned burgers
that were long condemned to death..


..they started speaking Chinese.



Compared to what was promised unto them :

"For this very day, you shall be blessed with enormous rations, starting with Bar-BQ Cow & Chunky Fries and many others that bring joy and love to all mankind." - Blasphemy 1 : 3

"...and for unto them, it shall all be RM 5.90 " - MoreBlasphemy 2 : 5


Innocent lives were at risks, prophesies foretold never came true,
and to top it off --


They served number of drinks with these paper cups,

all with oceanic images.



The problem is?





Needless to say, humanity will never look at Chicago 7
the same again.


They've made a pact to make a comeback.


..... TO ANOTHER PLACE !

The New Proton Saga BLM

Slipped into my slippers, with rugged jeans I dashed right inside my car slamming the doors while speeding in sweat to reach the destination and skidded out of control, jumped out to SEE ----

.... the malaysian car that should've been put to sleep 6th feet underground more than 20 years ago.


Ladies and gentlemen, it's damn about time Proton did something more than applying cheap foundation products to their now Legendary Saga line.

Presenting...



The New Proton Saga BLM
(brought to you by Mr.Goober's late night show ®)


To tell the truth, I'm actually surprised by the sudden counter attack by our old friend Proton to whack Perodua's ass with something bigger than a stick.

Call me suspicious but this thing stuck onto its window is just too obvious :



Given the price range of just 38k to 42k, it's clearly targeted at the current local market's offerings.

Man, Vios lookalike sedan car for just 40k?! Shrek must've accidentally eaten his gingerbread friend right about now.

So will Perodua Viva's ass be whoopped badly by this? Will there be a new era of Legendary Legend? Or will abortion still continue?

Judge for yourselves :


Color looks good enough.




..and don't ask me about whether they were bribed.


The Campro engine..now with new Intake Air-Fuel Module (IAFM).
I think it means you get to dry your clothes with it. I think. I just think.


and the infamous meter light that looks quite similar to its latest first generation saga.


..and you get to put your clothes in that hole after drying it with the new Campro IAFM module.


looks good, but still has that legendary plasticky feelin' all over the car.



plasticky.



plasticky too.


beneath the plastic, lies even more plasticky materials all over it.


The HORROR of cheapness.


well at least it comes with alloy rims and Good Year tyres.


and a good ending.



What do I think?

Judging the car only by its cover will send legions of Proton fans driving over me (if theres any?!). Plus side on the exterior, it's understandable why they're slapping those cheap plastics all over in the inside. But since it's priced at a highly competitive market range, we can just see more of these babies on the road after all.

I just can't believe it.

junk food attack : Shoyue Mi

latest update : yellow naked turtle spotted in Watson!!! WOOOOH!!~!!!


Another short post~!? Yeah!

See, I've been really, really busy trying to be lazy.



So whats going on?? Well, today I was given a chance to have a taste
on one of these..


Shoyue Mi - sounds like some japanese pornstar model.
Yes....

Google it up and you'll probably see bunch of naked yellow turtles.
..if you're into that kinda thing..you know..I won't tell, promise. Dot.


That aside, this is one helluva cool keropok I've ever eaten!! So
cool I had to blog about it, ditto~!


First things first.


It's actually a Snek Ku branded junk food, the one
that packs all those stick-like keropoks, with green peas and flat shaped
IDE cables for consumption.


See, don't they look like IDE cables for your hard disks? Oh my, I'm
getting a little technical.


Now for the most important part..how did it taste?

Wellll..remember mamee junk foods? the one with its pack of
powdered msgSSS ?


Well, it tastes much lighther, not too oily, and none too salty.
Probably because soya beans were used instead of potatoes or corns.

A balanced taste that'll make you want more!


Note : fire from mouth only applies when consumed by a naked yellow turtle.


With that, and a pat on the pod;
