Soundtracks of 2010

Inception (Hans Zimmer)

Time (4:36)
Best score of 2010. Pretty much captures 2010, right up to the last second. Great for reminicising old times and being grateful having my family, friends and loved ones. And being hopeful about the future.

Dream Is Collapsing (2:24)
Play this when you’re walking around looking up at buildings.

528491 (2:24)
Rises to a galactic crescendo of horns.

Films of 2010

A fun year for movies.

Below are my favs in no particular order… (except for the first one, heh).

Please note: I’m judging these films on entertainment rather than artistic merit.


Favourites

Toy Story 3
A great way to end the trilogy – the perfect bookend.

I’m always the first to reach for the sad tissues for many of the Pixar films. My eyes were watery when watching WALL-E and my cheeks were glistening from a waterfall of tears for Up. So it was no suprise that I let it all go for Toy Story 3.

Remember that Incinerator/Fire pit scene? It was the first time I felt danger and despair for our beloved plastic heroes. It was touching (and cheesy) when they all reached out for each other. It was also sad to see Rex with his tiny arms trying to reach out, providing subtle comic relief that was quickly overshadowed by the fear and desperation in all their eyes.

Oh and that ending… I’ve never been in a cinema with so many grown ups sniffing and sobbing away. Read more

That Girl

I often get this page when mistype a URL. It’s a domain parked by some company and they’ve used this image for years.

It’s always been bugging me: Who is this girl? What’s her name? Does she really go to college? Or is she in high school? Is she a natural blonde? Did she weep like many others while watching Toy Story 3? Did she even watch Toy Story 3? Is she single? What’s her favourite place for food? Is she even alive?

My annoyance with mistyping a URL is quickly replaced with wonder and curiosity when ever I see her face.

The 2-night trip was reduced to one.

Reason? A mate was getting married back in Sydney. It was a jovial weekend.
