I decided that it was time to realize one of my long-standing guitar desires: a Ritchie Blackmore tribute guitar.Ritchie Blackmore: None More BlackWho's Ritchie Blackmore, you ask?
He was in this band called Deep Purple.
You may have heard of them.
They wrote some songs that were on the radio a lot in the 1970s.They had a live album called Made in Japan. It has some of the...Read more
A while back, Conroy Chan had invited me to the premiere of Dream Home/維多利亞壹號. It was in passing, no doubt at an AnD event. I know he's a busy man, and he's got a lot on his mind, so I wouldn't have minded if he forgot.
But at the same time I wasn't really surprised Tuesday night when I got a call from his assistant confirming my invitation.
It's ni...Read more
Ip Man 2: Double Donnie!!!I saw the promo poster for this at Filmart. Quite frankly, I wasn't looking forward to it based simply on the poster:Gee, I wonder who the bad guy is and who'll win the final battle.
I wanted to see this movie at...Read more
Last Thursday was the opening night of the second installment of the Dead Art Comes Alive exhibition. I went because I wanted to represent Mimi Leung, who couldn't be here. I also wanted to see what my guitars looked like in an art gallery.
So this was a pleasant surprise:Read more
Recently Ben Lo blogged about one of his favorite cars, a 1975 Celica.I'm old enough that it looked familiar.

I assume most of us are familiar with the term 'charity f*ck,' at least as a colloquialism if not an experience.
While I have never been the recipient of such (though I am open to offers), I kind of joined that club tonight.
Look in my Guestbookand there you will see the following:

I know I need to blog about a few things, chief among them the Dear Jane gig at CUHK.
I put up those movie reviews because they had been sitting in my Draft folder. I have done f@#$-all else because I have felt like dog sh*t since Thursday morning.
I went to Andrew Lin's opening, and while it was warm and humid to an uncomfortable degree, I was still very glad to show support and have a chance to appear far, far more cultured than I really am.
It's always nice to talk to Desmond So and Grace Huan...Read more
Everyone involved in making this film was obviously wearing a full suit ofNomex.Although there were glimpses of a baby being born. I'm not sure how it got by TELA except that it looks so patently fake that there's no reason tothink it would offend or titillate people.
Kind of like the rest of the m...Read more
"These f@#$ing retards payed to watch us!!! Hahaha!!!"It's hard to make a character-driven film when none of your characters are especially likable, interesting, or developed beyond trite thumbnail sketches.
Crossing Hennessy/月滿軒尼詩 attempts much and achieves little. The characters are all stereotypes who conveniently lack certain inevitable realities such that t...Read more
