Vrrroooommmm~

Haven't been in the best of moods lately... well, it's caused by certain factors, which I just dun wish to mention. I guess I'm one of those who thinks way too much and also the type who worries a lot... Sigh, must try to swing that back to the right side up. >.<

Cars
Watched Cars... it's super! I haven't had so much fun during a movie in a long time. A collaboration between Pixar and Disney, was supposed to be their last, before Disney bought them over. And I must say it's a gem.
1st thing one would notice would be the amazing amount of detail sqeezed into this almost 2-hour-long 3D animation. The metallic reflection on car bodies, the sparkle paintjob, the rust effects, night lighting, scenery, etc... goodness. It's a masterpiece by itself. The lil details are worth watching too, like bugs... they're not the bugs you and I see. No... they're really Bugs! Hee hee... And the hills, like how people like to imagine the hills in shape of animals, cars imagine them in shape of automobile parts... like fenders and tailfins... and the clouds... they're in the shape of tyre tracks! You have got to see this to believe it. I wonder how long they took to render the entire movie~
2nd, the cars! Gosh, you'd have to watch to understand what I mean... every car is a real make! (except Lightning McQueen) So you'll see Porsches, Miatas, Maseratis, Chryslers, Dodges, Toyotas, Cadillacs, Macks, Fiats, and the list goes on! I noticed there was even a Corolla Altis and yeah, a special appearance of a Ferrari 430... One of the most special is a 1951 Hudson Hornet, which is the character Doc Hudson. There's even this character, Ramone, a 1959 Chevrolet Impala who changes his color in EVERY scene! It was so much fun to watch them talk and well... be alive! Haha...
3rd, the story... It revolves around rookie racer Lightning McQueen, who's dream is to get sponsorship from Dinoco, and get a neat blue paintjob and all the perks that come from it, including fame. But this fella's a bit of a show-off, and celf-centered. As in he cares only for himself. And by a freak accident he ends up in a lil town along Route 66 called Radiator Springs, where he discovers that there's more to life than just... well... fame, fortune and glory. It's a real heartwarming story, with lovable characters like Sally the 03' Porsche 911, Mater the tow truck, Fillmore the VW Bus, Sarge the WWII Jeep... and the list goes on and on... they're all so unique and fun and it really adds to the enjoyment of the movie. And the story can really be associated to real life, as in when new purpose-built highways are built, the good-old routes feel the effects. I'd definitely recommend this movie to anyone. Just make sure you stay back for the ENTIRE credits... it's worth it :)
Neo Advert
I'm sure most of you guys have seen the Neo by now. It's one solid and good looking car... and I'm sure most would have also seen or heard the ad. It's pretty neat. I've always liked Proton ads as they're pretty artistic or creative, depending on the vehicle. The most memorable to me was the original Satria ad, with the car jumping and speeding on wet roads with all the pahlawan surrounding it. The GEN.2 started making it classy, and I loved the Savvy's monster ad. Definitely one of the country's cutest and most interesting car ads. And here we come to the Satria Neo's ad. It's classy, with a leng chai and pretty girl to reflect the youths that they are targetting. The car is portrayed as desirable and looks good. I love the eye concept they used... real cool.
Have a look:
