NO TIME NO TIME NO TIME

Keeping everything else I want to post on the backburner AGAIN, have some YT clips that have been rocking my world lately. I must pack for my imminent wake-up in uh, 5 HOURS because I will be flying to BANGKOK!! again for 5 days FUCK YEAH. Three days without work, glory glory hallelujah.

NUMERO UNO: SANTANA ROCKING THE FUCK OUTTA VALERIE (ALSO: MIKE CHANG & BRITTANY = BEST EVERRR)


NUMBER TWO: I NEED TO WATCH THIS MOVIE ASAP. Historical anecdotes apparently spun to high heavens and movie-transformed! EPIC TRADITIONAL MUSTACHES!! FUCKING BADASS FIGHT SCENES! Muay Thai remains one of the most hardcore and awesome things everrrr *wipes away a tear of national pride*.


NUMMER DREI: THIS SONG HAS BEEN MY EARWORM FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS DURING WORK. And also the awesome banality of the lyrics never stop cracking me up-- a sample: "Found a wallet/but there were no thousand baht notes there/Want to go for a mountain road-trip/but there's no gas in the car" OR "Bought fancy wine/didn't know how to open it/now it's expired/Want to go to heaven/but forgot to make merit/so now it's probably hell for me" A+++ I LIKE.

(ughhhh why the fuck didn't embedding work just now?? *shakes fist at LJ*)

PEE ESS ...we still have to check out things + everything is still super tentative and dependant on a million things BUT I. AND I MIGHT BECOME HOUSEMATES (!!) SOON. There is a house basically across Ma's where the owners who live in BKK or whatever need tenants to uh, keep the mice away after they get the exterminator to do their thing. The rent would be something ridiculously low like 5,000 THB which I. and I would split anyways + utilities and just... This would be so much less than my current rent for my dinky apartment, an ACTUAL HOUSE and also: SEPARATE BATHROOMS (!!!) so I can happily live out my neuroses of not wanting to share bathrooms/toilets with other people! SWEET. Of course, we'd both actually have to get/renew our driver's licenses respectively, but one would have actual incentive now lolol

Omg that movie looks so amazing. And the description made me lol XD --> In Ayothaya, Yamada learns to kick butt Thai-style even though he lacks an epic moustache. K-1 kickboxing star Buakaw Por plays the chap who teaches Yamada the noble art of mangling people in slow motion.

And oooh I hope the housemates thing works out for you! :D EXCITING~

I guess his leet samurai topknot counts for something, eh? Also he gets the traditional tattoos done in the trailer-- and that is some potent ass-kicking enabling ink right there. The festivals they have every year even to this day for e.g in that one famous temple are crazy intense to watch... To put it in a nutshell, the belief is that you can be possessed by whatever markings you chose (or chose you, I guess) and you have the believers suddenly overcome by animalistic urges and writhing around the floor, bellowing like tigers and/or jumping around like monkeys. TRUE STORY.

I am excited and also a bit nervous if it does work out! Mainly because then I. would eventually find out what a lazy and somewhat horrible person I can be, and I have put in so much effort to only let that side of me loose when I am alone XDD.

Santana just killed it, didn't she?

As I loaded this page to start to reply to the comments, I totally went to watch that clips three times in a row again. SO FAB. And I just noticed how horribly off-rythym the other guys are in the background sometimes! OH MIKE CHANG CLEARLY HAS HIS WORK CUT OUT FOR HIM, if he's ever gonna whip em into shape XDD

Muay Thai remains one of the most hardcore and awesome things everrrr

*LIKE*

Seriously the few Muay Thai movies I've seen (okay - pretty much Ong Back, Warrior King (has so many names in so many countries - Tom-Yum-Goong I believe is the original title) and Chocolate) have been fucking kick ass. Some of the stuff they pull of is absolutely ridiculous. Chocolate is especially and features a kickass female protagonist to boot!

Hurrah for Muay Thai!

(I mean seriously - there's this bit in Warrior King where they're all 'oh, yeah, let's totally have this fight in this temple in a room full of water and in slow motion' 'WE CAN MAKE IT MORE AWESOME!' 'how would we do such a thing?' 'WE SET IT ON FIRE!'. Furiously awesome. Furiously ridiculous.)

Hee, confession time here, but since I have so few friends that I can legit schlep to watch Thai movies with me I had such a gap in my viewings of Popular Thai Movies That Made it Big Overseas**... Slowly worked my way up to seeing Ong Bak a year or so ago though, and it was a GERMAN-DUBBED VERSION which was like hilarity times ten. Especially in the bits where people were speaking in Northeastern-dialect and you could tell where the dubbers just went "........THE HELL ARE THEY TALKING ABOUTTTT" and just left those dialogue bits as is. Quite the jarring transition, that was XD Still haven't seen "Tom Yum Goong" (THEY CALL IT "WARRIOR KING" IN ENGLISH?? Omg lollll for a whole 'nother reason than the obvious marketing ploy that was behind the Thai title, hee!) except for the awesome and hilarious cameos Tony Jaa keeps making in Mum Jokmok's own "The Bodyguard" action movies where he plays this exaggerated hyper-earnest idiot yet still badass version of his character. Every time I see Tony Jaa mentioned I always hear him yelling "WHERE THE FUCK IS MY ELEPHANT??" (CHANG GUU YUU NAIIIII) from those scenes XD

Chocolate is actually good? Will have to check it out then! I just remember reading a pretty unimpressed review from the Bangkok Post reviewer guy (who is admittedly more of an indie film dude than action) and just forgetting about it.

** some examples off the top of my head of not so recent movies that I have seen and ADORED though: Ruang Talok Hok Gao/6ixtynin9 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-WLwEyg2tA) (Mew Lalita is EXCELLENT), Jan Dara (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gxQVZD19tA&feature=related) (THE VIOLIN! Also this movie is so fucked up and twisteddddd) and Nang Nak (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDqew5U68Q4) (a CLASSIC Thai ghost story at love that lasts from beyond the grave and a beautifully sad and wonderful adaptation. And the actor who plays Nak's husband remains one of the most classically handsome Thai men for me. SO MANLY, unf!)

OMG THAT VIDEO IS SO CUTE. XD Their dorky little dance! <333 J'adore. Any idea how one would go about getting that song?

HOUSEMATES HOUSEMATES. Then you can mock her for her CMM adoration 24/7.

I actually went out and bought their album so either tomorrow or when I get back to C'Mai I will see about getting you some sweet tunes. Though lol I just looked through their songs and this album has a song called "Hitler", which made me O_O;; like hell. Now that I've actually listened to the song, the lyrics are just random bullshit apparently about some asshole who dresses like a prick and mainly just is to showcase a stupid pun on the fact that in Thai, "is it a hit?" sounds the same as when you mangle the pronounciation of Hitler a bit (= "Hit-rurr?"). This continues the trend of lots of people in SE Asia Not Getting that this particular chapter of WWII is not exactly suited for stupid songs like this ahhhh SLUR WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME WANT TO HEADDESK. The rest of the album seems promising though, ahhhh there is that XDD

I HAVE ALREADY TOLD HER THAT I WILL GET HER A HEARTSHAPED FRAME. Our other friend has already doodled moustaches and pornstar glasses on two of her printouts that I then added neon star nipples on. IT IS A WORK OF ART.
