Bah...I was tagged by Pei Ling to do this what-makes-a-guy-perfect thing. So there! The 8 qualities that make a man my man.
1. Show me some intelligent sense of humour, baby! As cliché as it sounds, I just love laughing (or maybe guffawing)! If he could take life with mirth, we could really enjoy the ride. Of course, I don't think brainless humour is always funny. He's got to possess some wit and sarcasm lah!
2. Have a brain. No lah, don't have to challenge Einstein's Theory of Relativity to impress me but he'd better be no dimwit.
3. A go-getter. Not afraid to go out there and get things done. Proactive guy... I could learn a lot from him.
4. Extroverted. Yeah, I want my guy to be sociable so that I don't have to be the one and only companion for everything single thing! It's nice to be wanted for company but sometimes I'd need to breathe lah.
5. Omniscient. Whether he wrote the encyclopaedia, read a library or swallows 6 dailies everyday. Know lots and lots of stuff so he can tell me about them as bed time stories. I'm inspired by people who have knowledge. And I want him to be my constant inspiration.
6. A little Romeo (or metro is it?). Heheheh, some romance please. Write poetry for me, teach me tango, cook me candlelight dinner (um, I can't cook to save my life, really) and make me feel warm and fuzzy.
7. Loyalty. I want my man to not be afraid of commitment. I cherish some freedom and movement but loyalty and commitment are the foundations of relationships. The lack of them will equal stunted establishment of trust. How is anything going to work without trust?
8. Always have faith in me. When I'm losing grip and I feel as if the world is crumbling around me, I'd want to know that there's still him believing that I can pick myself and the pieces up. I always want to stand on my own feet, and I'd love a guy to can encourage me to do it.

The silver screen salutation
Ladies and gentlemen, may I declare Stardust...the best movie this year! Seriously, I left the cinema seat feeling the way I felt when I finished Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
Fantasy and action thrillers are my favourite movie genres but when comedy does it part well in these two genres...baby, you (the movie) have won my heart. Nope, pun not intended.
Gosh where do I even begin to spoil the movie for you...
Let me introduce the quirks you should look out for :
The Old Guard who appears in the first scene. Never found out why he was designated to guard the portal to the other world, Stormhold, but watch out for his second and third appearances later on where he'll surprise you with some combat and apparent cowardice. Haha, makes for a good laugh!
Then there's the Lightning Traders (is that what they're called?) with Robert De Niro as the supposedly fearsome Captain Shakespeare. Brush aside your first impression of the sky sailors, they have a wicked sense of humour that unveils itself towards the climax of the story. Captain Shakespeare is actually a gay (?) and softie but because he thought he had to safeguard his fearsome reputation he goes all out to act merciless. Unknown to him, his whole crew actually knows that he's not scary! And everyone just played along to uphold the reputation of their captain. De Niro sure cracked me up with his portrayal of a self-deceiving character.
Watch out for curious names like Ditchwater Sal, Una, Primus, Secundus, Tertius, yada yada, Septimus which are kinda ridiculous but at least they help keep the audience on track with the many many characters.
Oh, and not forgetting Michelle Pfeiffer! As pek-chek as she can get in her hunt for the star that fell from the night sky, the story had to see her witch character make fun of herself. When you see the bunch of hair just coming off her head and her boobs suddenly greeting her stomach, you'll understand what I mean.
I saw the movie poster and I'd never thought this movie was going to be somewhat hilarious like Pirates but, gee, in all of the seriousness of the battles and importance of keeping the fallen star, Yvaine, safe there lie sprinkles of witty lines and unexpected comedy. Boy does it make the whole ride a good laugh and fantasy!
Despite a few minor plots going on in the story, the audience won't be lost because everything is well played out, coming and going at the right instances.
I salute the cast, crew and the novel (yes, Stardust is based on a novel). Now this is what movies should be like. Movie-magic justice well served 'cos I don't regret any buck I spent on it. Even Jason Bourne can't beat this. Personally, Stardust makes me wanna fall in love. It's so fantastic I'm considering getting the novel and maybe the DVD as well.
And yeah, Charlie Cox looks way better on screen than in still pictures.
EVERYONE GO WATCH THIS ONE-HECK OF A MARVELOUS MOVIE!!!
