Busted!

You know I’ve been watching too much Mythbusters when I am using words “ammunitions”, “explosion” and phrases like “well, there’s your problem”. But can you blame me? The show is too cool to pass! The trivial knowledge coupled with humor is my kind of entertainment, too. And you know what, in other no circumstances would I choose Brad Pitt or Tatum Channing over Adam Savage. Intelligence and humor trumps buff bod and good-looking face anytime. Well, maybe except for Ryan Gosling, that is, heh.

Let me share with you some awesome stuff I’ve learned from them:

1. The drunken saying “Stick with beer, you’re in the clear; beer and liquor, not any sicker” is not true. Perhaps, the effect is simply subjective, or brought about by other factors such as food intake.

2. Best fuel-saving tip? DON’T DRIVE ANGRY.

3. What to do when there are sharks around? Like with bears, play dead.

4. You’re walking on the street when there’s no umbrella.. then it started to rain! Continue walking, don’t run less you want to shower in the rain. Walking makes water fall solely on your head and shoulders, running on the other hand exposes your whole body to raindrops.

5. Duct tape can do almost everything. You can even make boats, planes and bridges with duct tape.

6. Slap sense into someone who’s all over the place, it is effective.

7. In case you are out with a drunk and you desperately want to sober him up, slap him or make him exercise. He’ll sober up in no time.

8. With your ordinary/less-than-appealing looks, have a boy toy by hitting it up with a drunk. Beer goggles work.

9. There’s no way you can curve a bullet, unless you are Angelina Jolie with the pouty lips and hot body.

10. The Weaver and one hand stance are the only effective ways of shooting a pistol.

And if that doesn’t convince you enough to see the show, I am leaving you with this:

I Found the Light through the Tangle(d)s

Maybe I am a year late. Maybe by this time, all of you already know about it. But I can’t keep myself from gushing! Oh, I have already seen this before. And everytime I watch it, I always go back, and go back, and go back to parts I love (which is almost all parts of the movie, I swear.) You can already imagine how irritating to watch it with me. But I didn’t realize until last night how much of a feel-good movie Tangled is! Oooh, I am floored!

Tangled is almost everything every Walt Disney movie is: a lovely lady protagonist, a goodlooking guy, animals who can pass as deformed people complete with endearing attitudes, a selfish enemy, a castle/tower setting. what makes it different though is the contemporary touch that shows in the characters’ dialogues. It is less sappy with more bites. I appreciate the wittiness and sarcasm, the right blend makes the movie appropriate for children and adults alike.

The animation is a whole plus too! We’ve come a long way from the 2D drawings of Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast.

Another thing I like about the movie is Eugene’s less than chivalrous character. Too contemporary and it was a refreshing loft from the old Disney movie formula. And have you noticed Rapunzels hair? It was wavy and far from perfect that it was totally adorable!

Admittedly though, the best parts of the movie (to me) are the musical numbers. The songs simply elicit feel good vibes that can easily taper heartaches to nothingness.

Flower, gleam and glow

Let your power shine

Make the clock reverse

Bring back what once was mine

Heal what has been hurt

Change Fate’s design

Save what has been lost

Bring back what once was mince

What once was mine
