Jumper and The Spiderwick Chronicles

How cool would it be to be a Jumper?

One blink, woosh, one place... another blink, woosh, another place.

Wow!

It would be like:
"Mom, i'm going to have lunch with RyeoWook, ShinDong, KangIn and KyuHyun!~"
"Where?"
"Korea! Bye!~"
*blink of an eye*
*In Pizza Hut @ MyeongDong*
"Where is that girl?" asks ShinDong as he looks at the main entrance.
"DONGDONG-YAH XD!" appears behind ShinDong and gives him a big hug.
"뭐야 o.O?" wonders ShinDong.
"Typically her," mumbled KyuHyun just because his KyuHyun.

Wow!

If i am a jumper, instead of robbing banks and other innocent people off their money and then getting chased by Paladins (what weird name is that? at least get something cooler lar really!), i mean, honestly... anyways, i would instead be a International-shopper for other people! How cool could that get XD! Travel-shopping-earn money all at the same time *dreams*!

Apart from that, i would vow to use my amazing superhero-powers ability to do good in the world; like taking those poachers from warm places and throw them at Antarctica, then taking those hunters in cold places and throw them to Sahara Desert... while wearing whatever they are wearing at the moment... maybe getting those Japanese fisherman who hunts dolphins and whales and throw them into the Pacific Ocean, throw those people who eat Shark's Fin into Australia waters...

Wow. Cool.

Especially the last one. Sweet.


Anyways, i just got back from watching The Spiderwick Chronicles.
I love the movie!
I think its nice, but i'm a bit disappointed from the lack of "mystical creatures". I was expecting more really, but there's just a few so...

And i like it that its not imagination, but in-fact, like, "real" and it really happens (in the movie anyways - but how i wish its real-life...)! As much as i like all these fantasy movies, i hate those that happen because of imagination. I might as well go watch my own imagination lar honestly *rolls eyes*.


Ah, and reading from what AhMa wrote in her Blog about the fairies in the movie, on the contrary i actually like the flower fairies, their cute and very realistic!

The reason why people thinks that fairies should look like Tinkerbell from Disney's Peterpan, is because well... let's just say we are all hoodwinked by Disney's version of "magical creatures" and their need to ensure everything looks nice and well, fairy tale-ish.

I mean, have you ever seen anything in Disney cartoons (non-villains) which are, lets just be crude and say... ugly? Or non-fairy-tale-sh?

There are a lots of different types of fairies in this world. And let's just say, most fantasy stories doesn't have "good-looking-pretty-fairies", or rather, "Disney-ish-fairies". Sorry to break-it-to-ya, but its true.

In fact, even in Harry Potter's world, J.K. Rowling's description of "Fairies" in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them actually describes them as... well... go get the book.

Not to say they are not "good-looking", but i feel fairies doesn't need to look like Legolas "fairy-talish", but rather, the mystical aura they give and the "i'm-small-but- touch-me-and-you-die" feeling is more important.

But anyways, there are loads of types of fairies in this world, each is up to the author or your own imagination to see.


BTW, which comes to this...

OMG, i love fantasy stories, note, NOT fairy-tales where everything have to be Pink, nice and bubbly, but real fantasy stories. The more magical creatures the better.
In-fact, if you have a good story-line, good actors, good-effects, good action and interaction, and throw in loads of magical creatures for me and not at all are any of those "imagination" of the characters in the story... in-short, a GOOD MOVIE by my standards... i would proudly promote the movie and buy the original DVD!!

No seriously, i would.
But you really had to make me love it so much that when i hand-over my money, i won't feel anything because i was actually hoodwinked by the Sylphes singing into my ears that paying that amount for a DVD instead of getting it in Pasar Malam is worth-it.

No, i seriously would. But i have yet met a movie which captivated me so badly, so boos for now i guess.

LOTR would've matched. But too bad it's far from reality.

I mean... as beautiful and handsome Legolas can get, i wouldn't want to imagine myself as an ELF in Rivendell. I mean, i am an ELF, but i wouldn't want to be one from LOTR. Because there's no internet, Super Junior and my HeeChul there (she's probably a dragon in that world honestly) in Rivendell.

Oh yes, let's not forget 1-Utama. And my smelly rabbits. And my pan-chan and everything else which is actually keeping me alive at this moment.

So no, thank you.
(ps: Wouldn't say no to be a fellow-student in Hogwarts though)


Yeah, the thing i love with fantasy stories is to see how far your imagination can run! With movie (which are made properly), it just brings it (your imagination) further (^^ )!~
