I dunno why, but my messy desk pic somehow got stolen, and that someone didn’t even bother to download it, so it still links to my site (that’s how I found out). Here’s the link.
Well, back to a big copyright print on the picture. Let’s see how far macro’s in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro have evolved.
Just testing a link (not mine).
Take a look at these pictures: pic1 | pic2
It?s Eva Mendes. Getting roles in bigger and bigger pictures, she climbed from 2 Fast 2 Furious to Once Upon a Time in Mexico, and starred alongside Denzel Washington in Out of Time. Bigger roles are coming her way the next few years.

Yupz, it’s Scarlett Johansson, and 2003 is really her year. While I already knew she’d grow up to be a star since her “Introducing” credit (even though it was already her sixth picture) in The Horse Whisperer, this year’s double Golden Globe nominations proved my point. A short review on both movies (because these aren’t regular box office movies):
Girl with a Pearl Earring – Named after the most famous painting of Dutch painter Vermeer, it tells the tale of how the painting came to life. Taking place in Delft, 1665, it’s a time where you can’t really get connected to (old class systems, an unknown concept for most people). Slowly, telling the story of Griet, a maid, you really get a sense of both the period, and the characters. That’s accomplished with minimal dialogue, and there’s crackling silence carrying the atmosphere in most scenes. The score is unlike the usual orchestra trying to give it a feeling of times past, but instead, you get an excitement hightening score, which actually works very well. The director must have loved and studied Vermeer’s work long and closely, because it all adds up in the picture. Making even a non-artsy down-to-earth guy like me notice how he shoots art like art itself with just the right colors, shadows, textures and composition. 8-.
Lost in Translation – Like above, it’s almost a period piece too, except it would be the current period. Getting the sense of life in Japan, through foreign eyes. The story itself is character driven, and with the indepedent status of this movie, you’d expect a lot of psychological mambo jambo. But none of this is true. The dialogues are fresh and funny, and the deeper thoughts are woven in subtlely. This of course, due to Bill Murray’s natural charm, and superb acting by Scarlett Johansson.8+.
Next up for Scarlett is The Perfect Score, a more mainstream movie, which she has to carry herself, as her name is the only outstanding one of the ensemble cast. After that she’ll star besides John Travolta in A Love Song for Bobby Long, followed opposite Helen Hunt in a period piece, A Good Woman. Continuing her streak of interesting choices, she’ ll have a long career ahead.

Here she is. Her name is Grace Park, and most recently, you can catch her on the Battlestar Galactica mini-series. Let’s hope this becomes a series on its own, because it’s quite good (penned by Ronald D. Moore). More pictures of Grace Park here.
This time, it’s Smallville’s Lana Lang. It’s not that it took me more than 2 years to find out, it’s that I just found out she’s half Dutch, half Chinese. Could there be a more perfect match for me ? *cough* *cough*
Anywayz, take a look at Kristin Kreuk here (English pronounciation sounds a bit like “cruck”). More pictures here.
Well, after almost a whole day offline (my ISP’s ADSL backbone service didn’t work out as they’d wish, I guess), let’s see what kind of disruption it caused to my dear visitors. For all the statistics geeks, this link will take you to my web log statistics of the past few weeks, with all the interesting details like visitors, referrals, browsers and much more ! (Of course, since I myself am the most frequent visitor, I filtered myself out. So, Albi you’re tha best !)
Search engines are quite interesting things, all have their own behavior, their own methods. A quick stroll through my web log showed the following links and results. You can test them out yourself, just use the link above it, and use the exact keywords as you see here (including the “‘s or -). As you can see, most people are let down if they finally arrive at my site, as I don’t host pictures or subtitles. Writing this story, actually will fuel the search engines to get me an even higher score now. Whud am I doing ? Paradooooox….

How about you, you got any interesting (search engine related) things in your web log ?
Just finished watching Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, where this this lady appears in almost a flash. Her name is Krista Allen, and she seems to be making the jump from the TV to the silver screen quite well. After this year’s Anger Management, she still has a few films lined up. Check this link for more pictures.
Not noticable in Star Wars: Episode I, she definitely made a statement with one of this years biggest hit, Pirates of the Caribbean. Of course, such a big movie can’t go unnoticed, and she already has 3 more (probably bigger) movies lined up. Who am I taling about ? Well, here’s Keira Knightley. Check out much more about her on this site. She looks also luvly in Bend it Like Beckham.
Download this 3.66 MB mpeg file. Watch it. Laugh out loud. And then remember, it’s the Asians again who make these kind of funny commercials.
Thanx to my forward-button-frenzy cousin.
Yipz, one of those days where ya just hang around in front of the TV. “Inventing the Abotts” was on, about the Abott family with three daughers. First was Liv Tyler, especially graceful on a horseback in the upcoming ending of Lord of the Rings series. Second was Jennifer Connely, last seen besides the mean green Hulk. And last but not least, is the lesser known Joanna Going. Having no real blockbuster on her schedule, she’ll probably never have one, as she’s nearing the age limit to be considered a chick. More pics here.
Everybody has probably seen or heard of the Star Wars Kid before, and even more probably, have giggled over his jedi like control over his sabre. First the bad news. He has suffered psychologial damage over this whole thing. He’s suing 4 students of his school who stole his tape from a locker, and put it on the internet for about 225.000 Can $. But there’s also positive news of course. Read more on waxy.org what they’ve done (that’s also the site where I first found the video). Pretty nice eh ?
So head over to petitiononline.com to get him in SWIII. I wuz nr. 24038.
