Spider-man 3
A bit late but caught Spider-man 3 finally with Chet and my brother, at THE Cathay. It was good lah. I hope all those who watched caught Stan Lee's cameo... Remember that part when Tobey Mcguire was looking at the electronic board flashing "Spider-man to receive key to the city...", an old man appeared beside him and said "It's amazing what one man can do..."? Well, that's Stan Lee for you. It is amazing indeed, what one man can do. Think of the Marvel universe he constructed... Sigh, green with envy. Below are pics of the FF publicity set up in Cathay!
Anywayz earlier on, in Orchard NLB, while I was looking thru the cabinet of comics, an SMS came... Then the small little kid next to me said, "No using handphone in the library." Then I said, "Yea yea, listen up bub. Mind your own business u little fat punk. You got balls until u get kicked in the balls." Of course I didn't say that... I just politely nodded at him before he scooted off. To be told off by a minor... Sigh.Then at Plaza Sing, we bumped into Yang Feng, who was on his way to Spotlight I think. He was carrying an Art Friend bag of stuff and he said he was going to build a puppet. Way to go man. I recalled having a conversation with him in Engine canteen about him wanting to "build things", and about his amazement with robots / human anatomy / etc. Good to get down to doing things you wanna do. That's "enjoy life" for you I guess...
The hunt for a Marvel Legends 5 Silver Surfer has begun. The Hasbro reissue turns out to be a disappointment, simply because they simplified the original action figure by using pegs instead of a magnetic strip, and releasing it as a wal-mart exclusive in the states. This sucks cuz it'll mean people bringing them in will charge for shipping costs too... Sigh. But the trouble with hunting past action figures is that they are so hard to come by, and everyone seems to be holding on to theirs with the upcoming FF movie... But still hopeful... Anyone wants my MOSC ML6 Juggernaut? Readers of this blog get it cheap... $5 discount, so $75 will do. Anyone??
Talk about Action Figure sales. Remember in one of my previous posts I was rambling about having a chance encounter with variant figures and selling them on eBay? Well I really went to do it and made some money outta it... But the profits went straight to an 11-Cathay-movie-tickets-for-$80 bundle that me and Chet decided to invest in. Quite worth it lah, considering they are charging extras for weekends, for blockbuster movies, and for watching new release movies in the first week. Remember when a movie only costed $6.50? Hohoho... That was slightly after the policemen quit wearing shorts. ;)
