Painter In The Wind

Just finished watching the much acclaimed South Korean Drama Painter In The Wind. I must say I was impressed the setting and the storyline.

Though It was not anything to rival the flagship of the k-wave, Jewel In The Palace, it stood up meritorously. Of particular fascination were the entwined romantic relationships that had me plumping for the young characters

I didn’t care much for Kim Hong Do (KHD)…smothering and overbearing, in my opinion he really did not have that much space in (Shin Yoon Bok) SYB’s heart….at-least compared to GH the gaesang. KHD was in a way trampling on his dead friend for even contemplating feelings for SYB who was notoriously younger than himself, also the way he insisted on sticking with SYB after the king had sent her away out of the city was rather tasteless and clingy to the point of nausea. The appropriate thing would have been to ask the king to send a bodyguard with SYB until she was safely out of the city but he kept on waffling about ‘us’ as if she had formally entertained his advances.

Others might say SYB reciprocated these feelings….really? and to the same extent? for her it might simply have been gratitude for him being the first real person to appreciate her as a woman…she might feel obliged to him in some way but not to the extent of marrying him because in her heart there is only one….GH

even the supposed reciprocation,which i strongly contend was borne of extenuating circumstances. SYB could be argued to have been in a vulnerable pyschological state after learning the full details of her parents death and KHD ‘hero’ efforts might have contributed to saviour dependency…the grounds of any such claims can be refuted on these grounds as a passing effect as vindicated by eventual departure. KHD asked SYB to go to his(her?) home and promise not to think of leaving, she just looked down…no answer.

(Jeong Hyang) JH and SYB shared something that transcends normal corporal relationships. It would be an ill-favour to simply classify their relationship as gay. KHD should have got the hint after learning what SYB had requested the merchant do if he wins…that was a clear enough message…SYB cares more for J that anyone on the planet

One thing, however, is suggested by how they leave.

GH is seen getting on a boat and sailing across…SYB is also later seen taking asimilar if not exact same route after leaving her memento to KHD.

Although her face looks sad…perhaps longing for KHD appreciation but it is clear what she was doing…going where her heart told her…

There is no hint i gather that KYD ever finds SYB…in-fact all the evidence from the epilogue and prologue and other final scenes suggest that he never did…

The story he is telling is all in past tense and represents a lonely ,morose haggard man.

As for the casting of the young couple...accolades and overtures! The photogenic and captivating Moon Chae Won gave a compelling performance as the resigned and trapped flower who could only experience the love of her life , beautifully and tragically, if only for but a moment.

The excellent Moon Geun Young was the centre of the show as SYB, although critics had earlier been less than approving they found her performance convincing enough...she did quite a plausible job of boy impersonations and the scenes with JH blew hecklers away and even landed the pair a Best Couple Award which I believe is a first for a same sex couple.

Bravo I say...

X Files I Want To Believe

I am a devout x-phile. I watched it from the first day when a coy Dana introduces herself to the cynical Fox Mulder right up to the very end with Cigarette Smoking Man in the cave. The suspense, the longing the angst. The good seasons and the few half-baked ones. Oh hell guts and blood I stuck to it because I loved Mulder & Scully, all they represented, that much.

The first movie Fight The Future was every x-philes wet dream. They could not make it long enough. The series episodes that proceeded it were all an excellent follow up. This movie was focused on the conspiracy arc of the franchise but Carter wanted a stand alone story on the second movie.

I have always been weary and cautious about pulling a phoenix move. Cases of Michael Jordan and most film sequels do everything to deep set my deposition. So when the new movie was announced I had reservations but then I thought of Gillian and David's strong on-screen chemistry...how could you go wrong with that.

Turns out very. Not with them, they were excellent but they alone could not deliver a film. This film was frustrating beyond all belief. Turns out the film wasn't an x-file in any way, certainly not by the general accepted definition last time I checked. It was just a run-off-the-mill crime drama with some Frankenstein meats Hostel villains. This 'stand alone story' is uninspired, it only serves to drag Fox Mulder and Dana Scully through lengthy talks that leave an x-phile non the wiser at the end compared to the beginning.

There were no 'revelations' or 'anwsers' as the promotional gags went and now that I have watched it I fail to see what they were so hush hush about the script...it was absolute trying on the nerves.

Even the most devout X-philes fan had their faith tested by this addition to the franchise, which despite big drum rolls had no cannon roar but just the fuse going poof. This particular case, its an insult to the work of Mulder and Scully to call this an x-file, could have been on CSI with Grissom and his motley bunch at it.

What this sodding wet movie has managed to achieve is threaten to tarnish the show's well-deserved positive reputation with a routine and nearly suspense-free thriller plot that feels like it should have been scrapped like a manuscript. This could destroy all chances of making an x-files movie franchise. Talk about undoing the work of 9 years in just over 90 minutes!

But you know. I will pretend that this movie was never made just like some dreadful season 8&9 episodes, for the sake of my love affair with the show. You know like you would forgive your spouse if the cheated on you...you'd try to forget or pretend it didn't happen to preserve your relationship with them. that is what I will do.

Here is hoping the planned conspiracy arc movie floats the deck...for the sake of this x-phile's love affair.

PS: What is with the long hair on Scully. Hair lower than her neck...doesn't work...yeah that's right. Didn't work in season 9 ...doesn't work now...won't work any time in the future. Do we need a bell for this ...really?

Everyone is equal?

Everyone is equal...

Yeah, everyone is equal, some more than others.

21st century thinking goes with the façade that everyone is equal in the eyes of the law and therefore will be treated in the same manner. Really now.

A bomb blasts off nearby, you and your friend Amil are late for work and are running for the bus, the police are out there like its world war two...how do you think is going to go. I bet you'd be watching the game at home tonight but your friend will have to do a little more convincing...maybe even after a round trip to some 'unknown' destination.

This thing called democracy that the western world is peddling at missile point sounds like a nice thing but when it gets down to the practical details it tends to cut a lot of corners, sometimes avoiding the whole track altogether depending on your status.

Take the not so distant Paris Hilton thing...thing don't know what else to call it because no such high levels of BS has been put on prime time news. She got let out of prison early because she was claustrophobic! If ever there was a true mockery of the whole judicial system, this is a shining candidate.

Pete Dougherty was released from prison early because there was overcrowding. What?! It seems like something a comedian would come up with but judges and lawyers in frocks and suits came up with this. So they had no space to keep Pete, a drug multiple offender for possession and use but they had enough space for some poor guy who killed a cat? The prosecution could be seeking 6 months prison tern for the cat killer. Shining beacon of civil rights right there.

Does anyone not see the double handedness in this. If you are a nobody the law will crush down on you like the wrath of the Old Testament God, but if you are of high status and can push the numbers you not only piss and crap on the law but also get paid to tell the story to the media.

America has its biggest one. The OJ Simpson trial. I bet you if OJ was janitor at some public school his ass would be serving double life or be on death row right now. His celebrity and $$$$$$$$ carried the day for him. I believe the race card was not the deciding factor in the trial it was these two.

Lately the Prince has been flying round England with his new toy... flying to parties and picking up his girlfriend(s) and what not...an army Chinook, yes a great big helicopter, you couldn't hide it even in the Amazon jungle. I wouldn't suggest any army man, or lady, try this because they would be court-martialled before they could land that flying tank on the next airfield. But no, William can do that because he is the prince? He not only admits to doing it but further insults the public by defending it as if its 'ok'...No wonder they killed the royal family in Russia, if he wanted to gain flying hours then he should do it like everyone else does it in the army. It's not like is is actually going to go to war, supply trips hundreds of miles behind the front line is as close to action as he will see. Not only is he wasting tax payers money guzzling down Chinook fuel on his chick-mobile/chopper rounds but aren't these very same Chinooks badly needed some place else...I don't know...like Iraq maybe!


Then there is ol' pal Rooney. He avoided getting a 30 pound ticket. Geez man...Rooney the miser. Rich people should actually get a double ticket. The man earns thousands per week even if he does not play, just by sitting on the bench he gets paid, why is he complaining about a 30 pound ticket which he had clearly broken the law. Now had that been some average Joe that guy would be signing an extra cheque at the end of the month, almost guaranteed. Maybe the officer was star struck?

That is another problem that exacerbates the situation, the public and officials being star-struck by people of status that they give them preferential treatment. Ok, people may awe at them but also go as far as diverting the course of justice too?

I recently read of a man getting a criminal record for leaving his been open a few inches too wide. Yes you read right, I wonder how things would have gone had bin belonged to Buckingham Palace. Hmmm...

If your status is high enough and you have enough people ogling at you, you can get away with pretty much anything from drive and drunk to murder and chances are you can get paid for it too.

World justice, the UN, don't get me started. This picture is really what I think and we all know which countries are the top pier with veto powers despite all fairytale appearances. And when it comes to biting they have as much gnashing force as ol' Tom from down the road, arthritis and hip replacement.[picture credit nytimes.com]



This proves true on national scale too. For example the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Program. I think this picture says it all in the best way.

One only has to consider the circumstances in which Israel came to exist and become a military power to reckon with, which under normal circumstances would have had a snow balls chance in hell, and you'll know why the big five turned a blind eye to this but are all guns out on the merry bunch.

People rave on about the holocaust, which indeed was a great tragedy but I get kind of irritated when the media plays on it as if Jews are the greatest sufferers on the planet, no they are not. They had the British and US make the a nice country out of thin air, they have nukes plus the might of the us army as an ally. Besides, the way they treat Palestinians no longer qualifies them for that wounded child attention. it just goes to show any powerful bastard is exactly that...a bastard.

power corrupts...absolute power corrupts absolutely

The people who really have had it bad are the American Indians. Those guys are nearly extinct as a people and as a culture. Not only was their land completely invaded and overrun ...the invaders went on to make movies about the Indians being bloodthirsty barbarians ...when in fact those alleged acts of violence was homeland defense, something Israel publicly claims daily after attacking Palestinians.Those cowboy and Indian movies are actually genocide being portrayed to paying viewers.

The few Indians left, considering they were approximately half a million strong before the invasion are now on reserves and and fewer still dotted all over. It's like the next door guy moving into your living room and putting a stool in a corner

This is your stool Pocahontas, this is your corner and your corner alone, there is no carpet or great view there...but that is all yours. Now if you'll move out of the way I'll have to move in my bucker lounger

To top it off Indian lingo has been relegated to naming war ships like the Apache, Chinook and others which by my reckoning an Indian has never flown or atleast patroned. I wonder if some kids asks the teacher during PE class

This Cowboy and Indians is so fun. The Indians were really cool...what happened to them?

Oh we wiped them off the map, they were kinda living on the land that we wanted.

I'd like someone to say that. see how that goes. This reminds me of a quote from literary Sherlock Holmes, the master of deductive observation, which I modified...

The law is what we live with, justice is merely a guest.

Hollywood Butchering Asian Cinema

Update: Latest casualty is Chakushin Ari. Hollywood made the appalling remake named "One Missed Call" . The remake was booed off by reviewers and critics across the board.
Another one is Juno(2007)...compared to Jenny, Juno (2005)

The latest casualty is The Eye(2002), which was distastefully remade as The Eye (2008) (what brazen blatancy!). The 12 million dollars stuffed into this blasphemy could do little to save this drowning abomination, actually it did more to force it under.

I felt my body getting hot, face getting red, felt sweat running down my back ( yeah.. really )... don't worry, I'm ok now.

Sick and tired of Hollywood.

Its like Microsoft, big not necessarily because they are the best, but just because they got there first and they can splash more $$$$$$$$.

Hollywood films have come to an al time low. Predictable action movies...yeah the good guy always kills all the goons and makes off with some broad. If its an apocalyptic film....the hero always saves the day and manages to knit back together his 'dysfunctional family......

The latest Hollywood fad is the saw/hostel kind of films. Bunch of people on the road isolated place....blah blah..... Or even better still a bunch of people wake up in a locked room or eventually find themselves in one....sicko comes in...and you know how that goes.

It's amazing how predictable these films are yet people still watch them enmass. I always frustrate my friends by telling them the probable plotline of these kinda movies before they go out watching them. I get an 'A' grade when it comes to that.

And the latest new fad. This one makes any real movie watcher feel like throwing up. Remakes of Asian films.

It is unbearable, like being in a dry air sauna especially if you have seen the original.

The are current plans to remake My Sassy Girl with American actors! No matter how much money they pump into that cow it will NEVER be as good as the original. How can they seriously hope to capture that Asian comedy, that is such an integral part of the film with Hollywood actors? They chose Elisha Cuthbert to replace Jun Ji-Hyun.....now that has to be the biggest joke of the year.

"....the movie will be really bad, and [I] dont think it's hard to [imagine].... it's just the atmosphere, acting, actors that make it so good, and you cant fake that by just making any simple remake..."


I recently found out that Saving Private Ryan very similar to Tae Guk GI. One looks at the cinematography and action sequences will tell you SPR is a non contender. The remake of The Grudge and Ring (original was Ringu) was dismal. You will get freakier chills from Ringu any day. They also remade Shall We Dansu as Shall We Dance....no comment there.


Any of these can pass over but a remake of My Wife Is A Gangster would make anyone explode with rage.....not only a remake but with Queen Latifah...(Oh God, Why Have Thou Forsaken Us)!
I bet it will be one of the most disastrous remake of the movie unless they completely modify the lead role. I cannot see Queen Latifah doing what Shin Eun-Gyeong actually does in the movie, sorry.


So it comes as no surprising conclusion that I despise remakes of Asian movies. However I am a progressive person and I do keep an open mind and I actually give 'deserving' (for lack of a more mediocre word) remakes a chance

Fore example The LakeHouse was a commendable effort, Keanu Reeves was a star, I can't say the same for his co-star, Sandra Bullock, but she did carry it somewhat but nowhere near Jun Ji-hyun's performance . If you thought this movies was awesome you should see Il Mare. Il Mare will totally eclipse The LakeHouse.

Another Notable mention is The Departed which was a remake of Infernal Affairs. You might think Leonardo DeCaprio and co were 'it' but I invite you to watch Infernal Affairs and you will know that The Departed is a shedded snake skin...

This butchery of Asian Cinema in the name of 'bringing it to the western people' is arrogant/perpetuating ignorance if not down right racist. So westerners cannot watch foreign films with foreign actors now, huh?

Or maybe they won't understand the context, really...are westerners that thick not to even comprehend a foreign film, so much so that it has to be localised, why cant they watch a film in its original context and learn about other people's culture......obviously not...
No amount of $$$$$$ pumped in or any Hollywood actor could ever capture the atmosphere, the vibe, facial expressions, off the wall comedy, emotional tones that define Asian Cinema

Hollywood can easily do a sappy film, can they do a Windstruck or a Falian?. I think not...there is a big difference between sappy and emotional.

The butchery has a host of victims lined up....like Windstruck and Daisy and OldBoy.

Lord Have Mercy!

No, I was lying earlier....I am not ok...at all

I think I need some pills...

Of organic food, poceesed food and bottled water?

I try to ignore it......

But it just keeps hitting me in the face everywhere I go. Organic chicken, organic bread, organic beef, organic eggs blah blah blah...

What is an organic egg? Are they suggesting there are eggs that are not organic. I'd like to see those. By giving the word 'egg' a qualifying term it suggests that 'egg' exist in more than one form. If an egg is not 'organic' then it can only be 'inorganic'. If organic eggs are the new thing then what has my mother been feeding me all these years?

I tell you this....all eggs are organic...sorry to burst your bubble. Only hens can make eggs and that there is all organic, regardless of where the hen is...cage or no cage.

Organic chicken...hmmm. I asked one of these organic fanatics what that means and the girl told me that it was because no artificial method was used in the rearing of the chicken i.e no growth boosters.

Well, I will tell you what I told her. By her own definition the only 'organic chicken' she will find is in Africa and some farm deep in the country where the chickens are let out to forage. I find it quite implausible that no chemical material is used to enhance their growth. It is a business after all. Do they really wait all those months for the chickens to mature?

This little community of people , well not so little judging by the number of people reading labels in the local supermarket, has made this 'organic' thing almost into a cult.

Organic veggies I find very suspect. Can grow nice big veggies without using even a tiny bit of furtiliser? Oh yes you can do that on a small scale in your garden but on a farm? I did agriculture for all of four years in college (minored) and that is strictly impractical, unless if my lecturer was a saboteur. Not to mention not using pesticides or herbicides. Chemicals of some sort have to be used otherwise you harvest carrots that even a desert rabbit will not bite.

The whole 'organic movement' smells like a giant rat stuck in the drain pipe. If I am misguided enlighten me.

Then there are the 'water' people. What are you reading on that label on the water bottle.

I have a very good guess what it says on ingredients....water!
(plus questionable amounts of minerals which you already get from milk and other foods)

You have to be the dumbest and most gullible person alive to believe all that "Harvested from the spring fountain... Harvested on Mt Kempt from the cool springs....Mineral spring water form..." Yeah, they went up the mountain with all those bottle on their backs and spent the whole day scooping bucketfuls to fill them up just for you. Superman gave them a hand on their way down because the bottles wee now heavy.

How is it that people came to 'buy' water anyway. As far as I remember, correct me if I am wrong, water falls from the sky for free. What? Oh the processing cost of water. Ok, but industry make atleast 80% of water pollution, how is that my responsibility that I should pay to get it clean when I didn't make it dirty. Even after that the water coming out of the tap is undrinkable...wow what great value for money for some thing that should be free in the first place. So people have to go to the shops and buy water to drink. What an interesting set up we got, I'm sure it's very logical and displays humans' great claim to sentience.

Then there are the bacteria products. What is with that. Now you pay to get bacteria in your stomach. Wit a minute I thought that came as part of the standard installation on the human body. Why do you need external supply of bacteria from some funny tasting yoghurt derivative product.
If you want bacteria...eat fruits with their skins...their is plenty of bacteria there my friend. I think what the western world is suffering from is 'technology fever'.

Yes 'technology fever'. A lot of healthy things are already there from nature but westerners will not use them because ......they were not from 'leading expert'....they are not from a nice looking bottle/box....... not nice looking pills.

For example flu. Boiling Eucalyptus leaves, guava leaves, tea leaves boiled and drinking the hot water has been known to act as a decongestant all over other continents but you could never sell that to a westerner. But show that westerner something like Lemsip and they will think the world of you but the two remedies are basically the same just the other is in a flashy box and processed. The principal is carried but the example is extreme.

It could be argued that access to natural products is limited in a modern metropolis. One things never seems to escape my observation though....
The correlation of processed food and occurrence of disease that are not even heard of in 3rd world countries (where processed food is a luxury).

All these disorders popping up. Lactose intolerance, citrus intolerance. Someone can actually die from eating a peanut. That very notion is ridiculous in developing countries. Does generations of processed food affect down the line genetics?

All the nutrients that are taken out can't possibly have no benefit to the human biological system. Whoever put then there in the first place was not crazy. Maybe scientists are beginning to realise this and thus the new drive for whole foods....

wheatabix, oatibix, brown bread, whole milk and not oatiflakes ( yes, oat flakes) but a couple of years back no one would be caught dead with this stuff

Look at any average 12 year old, are we approaching over-processed food or have we already reached it

Hmmm I wonder.

Breakfast With Mugabe

This Royal Shakespearean play was first performed in October 2005 and has been occasionally performed since.

The play was directed by Anthony Sher and written by Fraser Grace.

Being a person born and brought up in that particular country I am much concerned with what goes on there. When I watch what is going on there it is moving and frustrating even more so to the people who are there.

This is a far cry from the Zimbabwe that was welcomed into the world community in 1980. It was such a joyous moment in history marked by prominents like Bob Marley and Princes. With an economy that paralleled any in the world, the Zimbabwe dollar traded one to one with the pound, it was truly the jewel of Africa!

It is nothing less than shocking now what the situation is like. A world record highest inflation in the history of mankind. The exporting nation is now scrapping to get by.

What could have happened to affect this jewel of a nation and cast it in muddy waters. Most people point the finger at one man. Robert Mugabe, the president of Zimbabwe. Yes, you can build quite a case against his decisions over the last 10 years or so. It would be quite easy to portray Mugabe as the all out villain. Agreeably, no amount of debate could actually change the stat of affairs faced by the people actually living there.

But the play Breakfast With Mugabe takes a new twist. It brings out a complex character. The character of Mugabe has his point of view laid out in the play. Though you might not readily subscribe to his views they are all the same legitimate views and thus they present a challenge to the prudent person about making a decision on what is going on.

Western politics has adopted the stance of "us" and "them", "good" and "evil". Is the world that clearly cut out? Anyway history is written by the victors.

The play explores elements of Mugabe's "psyche" and the thoughts that haunt him and the undeniable presence of fear in the country. There are strokes of humor in the tense interviews with his psychiatrist who is given the daunting task of analyzing the president whilst being pressured by the first lady who has her own ulterior motives whilst maneuvering under the eagle eyes of the state secret service.

Plot summary: Soho Theatre, London by Michael Billington, Saturday April 15, 2006 We are often told that political theater is one-sided, partial and unfair. But I recommend the skeptics to take a look at Fraser Grace's compelling 90-minute play presented as part of the RSC's New Work season. It leaves you in no doubt as to the paranoia and corruption of Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe regime while also reminding you of the colonial context from which it emerged. Seizing on a cryptic newspaper report, Grace shows Mugabe holed up in the sumptuous Harare State House in 2001 and being stalked by the malevolent spirit of a dead comrade. But, unlike Macbeth similarly haunted by Banquo, Mugabe is able to summon up a shrink to resolve his problem: in this case, the white, tobacco-farm owning Dr Peric who works in a Harare hospital. Acting as a mixture of psychiatrist and political interrogator, Peric helps to lay Mugabe's ghost; but at disastrous cost to himself, his family and his fellow landowners. "You and Robert, so much alike," says Mugabe's chic second wife to the control-freakish Peric; and Grace's point is the Shakespearean one that racial arrogance and cruelty breed their own revenge. Grace reminds us of the years of white domination in the former Southern Rhodesia: he also shows Mugabe's bitter memory of being refused permission by Ian Smith, in the course of his 11-year detention, to bury his young son. At the same time, Grace vividly depicts Mugabe retreating into Ceausescu-like isolation, sanctioning appalling thuggery, and lapsing into demagogic electoral rhetoric. There is a something a little too neat about the implied transference of Mugabe's "ngozi"- or evil spirit - from the patient to the doctor. And Antony Sher's production could afford to tone down the volume in moving from the Swan to the Soho. But Sher, who has played both Macbeth and Shylock, clearly understands the piece's Shakespearean dimensions. Joseph Mydell also invests Mugabe's autocratic self-delusion with an unexpected layer of irony as when he wryly announces: "I have been informed that I will not live for ever." David Rintoul excellently brings out the colonial patronage that underlies Peric's pyschiatric professionalism. And there is sterling support from Noma Dumezweni as Mugabe's stylish but secretly terrified wife. But the power of the play lies in its ability to put Zimbabwe's current tragedy into a historical context and to remind us of the truth of Auden's observation that "those to whom evil is done do evil in return".

Become a Pharmacist

Hallmarks

Michael Jackson?

They certainly rocked his world, what with the new molestation charges and legal battles. I just had to react to this new episode. Hang on...this is not a "he is not guilty" gag neither am I condemning him.

How did all this start, well Michael was and still is the number one entertainer of all time (no contenders have nominated themselves on my last count)....Michael captivated a crowd in a moving, stunning and electrifying way! He influenced the world of dance music even all the way up to B2K, Genuwine, Ciara, Justin Timberlake and Beyonce to name a handful.....( his sister Janet too?) and even some superstars like Usher allegedly admitted to being inspired by the man.

Of interest is Justin's video "Like I love You", it has strong theme similarities to "The Way You Make Me Feel" and Usher's "Caught Up" video theme has similarities to " You Rock My World"...coincidence?

That sound too far fetched for you...dig this. Michael has over 20 number 1 hits and countless "Top Ten" hits. Even up to now other artists are still making remixes of his songs, and making hits with them too. Hi Tech samples "Say Say Say" in their dance hit, someone did " Man In The Mirror", some rock group did " Smooth Criminal" and the beat goes on....I mean they even sell his home demo of "Billie Jean" on the 3 website ( how many artist can sell their demo singles £3.50 a pop...?!)

Any way that beside the point, He successfully heralded the new era of video making from "Thriller" which to my best knowledge still holds the record for best selling home video and music album. The choreography in that video is just mind blowing. It became a milestone in choreography ever since. And "Billie Jean" still does the rounds on club dance floor.

His world tours kept every body glued to telly, the lucky ones who could go to the concerts were guaranteed first class performances ( e.g the leaning forward in "Smooth Criminal" and moon walk). though some complain that he lip sync his songs I have only one thing to say

Brake dance for me whilst singing at the top of your song. Now imagine doing that ALL night for over week!

It is physically impossible.

>

He knew that lip syncing removed something from the show so he made sure the whole performance was 1st class. Often including thrilling special effects, acts by talented guitarists and captivating original and spectacular choreography.

90 percent of us would be lying if we said we did not try our luck with the moonwalk at some point (only succeeding in sliding our feet backwards on the carpet - which is a far cry). In this respect Michael gave the world what it had never seen before...

In every sense I am afraid... never before had the word watched a cute caramel boy transform into a white man in less than TWO years!

If I am wrong enlighten me, please. Not only was he now white, but also what many people described as "beautiful" (some females getting jealous too?) or more accurately what the Japanese call a Bishōnen . It sent murmurs but he was the man of the moment, talented and what have you....everybody still liked him.

Then came in the down times....personally I think his nose looked FINE, not just that-PERFECT during the "Beat It" era. But alleged repeated surgery put it to its sad state. Some argue he is obsessed with cosmetic surgery and close up images make it very hard to counter that.

This nose business had tongues wagging, but Michael still delivered on stage....and people still loved him for that, besides he did selfless things like "Heal The World"... for many...what he did to his face was his business as long as he was good and as such he remained one of the most photographed person in the world, if not the most.

But it got worse, at some stage, some even said he looked like his charactor in "Thriller", only that this was not make up any more-this coincided with the face mask era. But reports have it that a new surgeon has him looking good and he is out and about now...(refer to bottom picture)

Then came the molestation charges, this set him on fire..contracts were canceled faster than who-o! People calling him a pedophile, I bet this made him wanna "Scream". He shook of them charges...either him just having good lawyers or being innocent-only God can answer. It is interesting to note that it is alleged he made some out of court settlements...but again this allegation is just media fodder.

Coming to this fresh episode, we'll have to see if this one ain't another "gold digger" like some of them have been proven to be( and obviously been told to "Beat It". The charges did not stick so in a way jack is the "Smooth Criminal".Now that i think of it, the kid who accused him of molestation said he had wanted to see Michael and his Neverland as a last wish as he had only a few weeks to live since he had terminal? but who is alive and kicking suing him some 10 years later, the mother was a proven fraudster which threw her son's case down the drain never mind the inconsistencies.

I hear the man is planning a comeback this 2007, so it's a wait and see if he can bring on that magic again or was it all once upon a time there was a big and bright star but it was a shooting star.
