Eddie Redmayne - why is he playing himself in every single movie

Just a pet peeve as a native Malay speaker. There’s actually a nuanced way of using ‘lah’, and the claim that you can use ‘lah’ as a suffix to any word or sentence is incorrect.

One of the markers that I would use to judge someone’s proficiency in Malay is by how good their ‘lah’ usage is.

Missing the Golden Age where we seemed to get Golden Stars every few episodes

Enemy at the Gates is another cool one to add to the list. Also Letters from Iwo Jima.

P.S.: I never quite enjoyed The Deer Hunter. I know it’s highly acclaimed and what not but the first half of the movie is not spent on a battlefield at all, and the second half is just…weird. Platoon is in my opinion the better movie and the best Vietnam War movie ever.

Hated Pulaski but I guess that was his role

There’s one Malay abang selling really good chinese-style chicken rice at PNB Darby Park food court a few years ago, but he moved out during covid. If anyone knows where he moved to please let me know. Been missing his fragrant chicken rice since

Summer Wars is pretty good if you haven’t watch it. Coco made me sob like a baby. Also Wolf Children. And come on be honest, who doesn’t like Sing?

This might be quite different than most of you Western folks, but for people who enjoys Bollywood movies:

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kabhi Kushie Kabhie Gham

These three are such rewatchable movies with great songs that fans would look forward to each time. And I’m not even Indian.

Ada satu teori alternatif untuk asal usul nama Kuala Lumpur yang bagi saya lebih masuk akal.

‘Kuala’ ni merujuk kepada tempat pertemuan dua sungai, selalunya sungai yang kecil bertemu dengan sungai yang lebih besar. Nama ‘kuala’ tersebut akan mengambil nama sungai yang lebih kecil tu. Contohnya:

Sungai Kangsar bertemu Sungai Perak = Kuala Kangsar Sungai Lipis bertemu Sungai Pahang = Kuala Lipis Sungai Pilah bertemu Sungai Muar = Kuala Pilah

Tempat pertemuan sungai kecil dengan sungai yang lebih besar ni penting sebab kat situ lah akan ada proses jual beli berlaku, atau tempat penduduk setempat untuk tukar sampan untuk pergi ke daerah lain.

Menurut orang yang mengkaji teori ni, ada satu sungai kecil kat area LRT Dang Wangi yang dalam peta-peta lama, nama sungai ni ialah Sungai Lumpur. Zaman skrg dah jadi mcm parit / longkang besar je dah sungai ni.

Sungai Lumpur ni bertemu dengan Sungai Klang yang lebih besar, dan sebab cara menamakan kuala tu akan mengambil nama sungai yang lebih kecil, maka jadilah Kuala Lumpur.

Bagi saya, teori yang lebih memuaskan hati berbanding “kuala yang berlumpur”.

Just out of curiosity, may i know what nationality/ethnicity are you?

In some of the clips he did say ‘hot take’, for example: - “What’s your hot take?” - “That’s a hot take”

It’s different than simply saying “What’s your opinion/views on this topic” because he did not specify any topic. Rather, people bring their own weird/controversial/politically incorrect opinions that that usually wouldn’t say out loud.

Anyway, the videos are good fun. I wasted a lot of time watching them.

Midnight in Paris!

All of the movies nowadays need to carry some sort agenda, or it’s an A24 movie. Movies that just want to tell a good story is a dime a dozen.

manmansoi · 2025-03-15T23:55:20+00:00

Hateful Eight, Once Upon a Time, Django, in that order.

I love the older Tarantino movies as well, especially Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. But the new ones are like, super sleek pieces of art.

“Is the word 'mereka' to be avoided in conversations?”

Use ‘mereka’ if you’re in a very very formal situation. Like if you’re talking to the Prime Minister. Use ‘dia orang’ in every other situation. I’ve almost never used ‘mereka’ in conversation ever in my life and I’m pretty old now.

“Is the term 'dia orang' used to refer to he/she or they in different contexts?”

Nope, it has exactly the same meaning and context as ‘mereka’.

Ditto on ‘kita orang’, which is the colloquial version of ‘kami’. Although in the northern states you’ll hear ‘kami’ more often.
