No Pics, just Words.

I have to try to keep this blog alive. Syg je buat if i don't update it.

It's a funny thing when all you can describe something is written in words, but no picture to present. But with words, anything is possible, like when i say i have hair that spikes like a porcupine. First thing that comes to mind is "He's got punk'd hair.". But nah, i don't have spiky hair. My hair barely stands up. Get my point?

Therefore, it is much more interesting to read something in words, imagining what the hell the writer is trying to describe, compared to checking the real thing out, which can be quite "potong stim".
I remember reading the Lord of The Rings book, and it was describing this city call Minas Tirith. How the author, Tolkien, described it, the place was a living paradise on earth. Thankfully, when the movie came out, Minas Tirith was portrayed beautifully and absolutely fit to be considered a marvel of construction, but only in fantasy. Cause' the city was actually carved out from a mountain, and was so splendid(kuno) that the idea itself would baffle even today's architects.

Anyway, that's what makes movies that are adopted from novels such great masterpieces. Sadly, not all are that way, and even the ones that were are starting to lose their charms, probably because anxious movie goers who can't wait for the movie to be released go and purchase the book and find out what happens in the story. Ah, what a waste. Pretty good example is Harry Potter. The first one came out. It became a hit. Not watching it in a cinema would be the regret of your life. Now, i think it's the Sixth one already, but i haven't even watched the Fifth, not even the downloaded copies. Its because everyone has already read the ending, read all the books, and all that's left to do is to see the cast of the movie and the special effects. ALL ON TRAILERS. But the movie industry is still making big bucks, so whatever.

Sorry for the random thought, saja nak isikan blog nie.
