Flash Point 导火线

Oh! Mikey
Oh! Mikey is the best thing to come out of Japanese comedy in years. Check this one:
It's SO much funnier if you've actually been to a hostess bar/kyabakura and know what they're talking about.

Invisible Target 男兒本色
Director Benny Chan Muk-Sing is sort of like the Michael Bay of Hong Kong cinema. I don't mean this as an insult, but he's really the go-to guy for big-budget HK actioners with explosions and crazy stunts. Most of the time, when it comes to action scenes, he seldom disappoints.
Nice article about my dad on The Star newspaper
Two days ago, just like every other mornings, I was having breakfast with my parents. As usual, I was flipping through The Star while eating. My daily newspaper reading routine is like the following:
1) Start with The Star. Begin from the Sports section, then to the international news section, before checking out the headlines, and then finally reading Section 2, which would usually cover the entertainment articles.
2) Throw The Star aside, pick up the entertainment section of Sin Chew Daily, a Chinese paper to read the latest celebrity gossip.
3) Put that entertainment section of Sin Chew Daily aside, and check out the entertainment section in China Press, another Chinese paper for things left out by Sin Chew.
But anyway, I was reading through the entertainment sections of The Star before something caught my eye. My dad's name. And also, a hideous photo of his that was taken probably during the late 80s or early 90s.

Serious Literary Fiction about Idols
I need help.
I am writing a serious literary work about idols and wota.
Someone please tell me suggestions for things they want to see in this.
This is not a joke, I am a published author.

The Kind Old Man At The Train Station
(Photo by Nighthawk Photoworks)
Two nights ago, after finishing a shoot, I went to a KTM train station to take a train home.
It was nine thirty and the ticket counter was closed, so I could only buy my tickets through either one of the two ticket vending machines.

Traffic Accidents Are Morbid.
It is currently 3:14AM. There will be a TV movie shoot tomorrow. I'm involved as production manager/ assistant director... hence the lack of updates.
Right now, I am cutting newspaper articles of ghastly traffic accidents. It's for a prop. This is very morbid.

Michelangelo Antonioni Blows Up The World
Antonioni proves himself one of the greatest filmmakers of all time with 'Zabriskie Point'. Like the best movies, no explanation is necessary. This literally destroys shittier films, like 99% of everything released now.
