Top 10: Rock/Pop Music To Be Used In Epic Movies

My first list: 'The Top 10 Rock/Pop Music that could be used in Epic Movie Scenes'.

Long title huh? haha. What I mean by this is, what songs would best replace those grand, instrumental background music when something inspirational happens in the movie. And this could be either by way of the song title, the song lyrics, or usually just the artist themselves. haha.

Anyway, I'll try to update this list with pics or videos later on. I don't know how and aidah is cooking so she can't teach me yet. :P

Enjoy!

10. Movie: 300. Song: Underoath - Desperate Times, Desperate Measures.

- I think the song title makes it an obvious choice, but in addidtion to that, can you just imagine how awesome the final battle scene would be if this song was used. Especially the opening riff. haha.

9.  Movie: V For Vendetta. Song: Muse - Uprising

- Choice lyrics: "They will not force us, They will stop degrading us, They will not control us, We will be victorious". Now imagine that chorus, being sung at the same time when those people in the masks were marching down towards the end of the movie. Tak naik bulu roma ke?

8. Movie: Hannibal/Silence Of The Lambs. Song: Chiodos - Is It Progression If A Cannibal Uses A Fork?

- Again, I chose this song more for the title rather than the song itself. But even the first few words from the song seem to fit into the movie. Choice lyrics: "Listen up sweetie. We all know that you're a beautiful girl in a horrible world". You can just imagine Dr. Hannibal Lecter saying that to Jodie Foster right before he dives into a nice plate of human brains :D

7. Movie: 40 Days 40 Nights. Song: Halifax - Better Than Sex

- Again, just the song title. Its such an obvious match with the movie. I mean, throughout the whole movie Josh Hartnett is trying to find something that is better than sex, but ultimately (as like most guys) he fails and realises that almost NOTHING beats sex :P hahah.  

6. Movie: The 'Saw' Series. Song: My Chemical Romance - I'm Not Okay

- This is obviously chosen for its humour. haha. Imagine how annoyed the victims would be if they were hearing this while they were being tortured. It would be an obvious mockery of their own situation. haha. Choice lyrics: "I'm not okay, I'm not okay, I'm not okay, You wear me out".

5. Movie: Resident Evil 1/2/3. Song: Matchbook Romance - Monsters

- Another obvious choice due to its title. It would also be funny if the hordes of zombies in the movies just walk around in massive zombie groups, then stop, and suddenly break into and song and dance, singing this. Choice lyrics: "We are, We are the shaken, We are the monsters, Underneath your bed, Yeah, Believe what you read".

4. Movie: Matrix Reloaded. Song: Kings Of Leon - Use Somebody

- Remember the fighting scene where Neo was fighting the countless hordes of Agent Smith's? Now, imagine if this song was playing in the background. Kind of the obvious thoughts of Mr. Anderson, don't you think? Choice lyrics: "I've been roaming around, Always looking down, And all I see, You know that I could use somebody".

3. Movie: Back To The Future Series. Song: Aqua - Turn Back Time

- Again, kind of an obvious choice. haha. Damn my first list and already i'm getting lazy :P. Choice lyrics: "If only I could turn back time, I would stay for the night".

2. Movie: Armageddon. Song: Lostprophets - Its Not The End Of The World (But I Can See It From Here)

- Imagine the final moments of the movie. Instead of the whole emotional and sad scene about Bruce Willis, how much funnier would it be if the attention shifted to the NASA station on Earth with this song playing instead? Choice lyrics: "Its not the end of the world now baby, So come on dry those tears, Its not the end of the world now darling, But I can see it from here".

1. Movie: I Am Legend. Song: Saosin - You're Not Alone

- I think this is the most perfect match on the list. The movie shows us just how lonely Will Smith is in the movie because he though he was the only human left on earth. But if only he knew of the other survivors earlier on. The lines to the chorus just really fits into the movie. I mean, imagine if Will Smith waas listening to this during the movie. I'm sure he'd have more of the spirit to keep on living :P haha. Choice lyrics:"You're not alone, There is more to this I know, You can make it out, You will live to tell".


Anyway, there goes my first list. Hope you like it, and obviously I could be wrong or you could have other ideas. Just leave it on the comments alright? :D

lists

Since a few months ago, I discovered I have a new obsession: Lists. I love reading lists. I mean, all those random lists. Lists of information that doesn't really benefit your brain and knowledge. haha.

Its just so fun to read. And although its mostly pointless information, its still fun to those all these random trivia. and some lists are even surprisingly educational. My favourite source for lists: Cracked.com, Oddee.com, and listverse.com, and Goal.com's weekly top 10 list.

Anyway, I figured rather than always blogging about random daily life, I'll start writing about my very own lists. Lists that I myself create. :P haha.

Brave New World

Okay, so this will be my.... 569874987452699745th (?) attempt at re-writing my blog. Will it succeed?

Highly unlikely :D haha.

I used to loveeee blogging. Way back when before it was all cool and expected to have a blog. That time, it was all LiveJournal baybeh :P

And I enjoyed it. I enjoyed putting my rants and mushy stories or emo breakdowns or sometimes just random craps. Most of them were 30 paragraphs worth of emo-ing, and others was just a random 3 sentence entry about... well, random stuff. It was useless, irrelevant, and oh-so-much-fun.

But I think, back then, the main reason i loved it was because people I cared about actually read it. It was a good way of letting them know about my life. And, more importantly, I felt it gave me total freedom for saying ANYTHING I wanted to say. I didn't have to care about other people's feelings. Or they're judgments. Heck, half my posts back then were about girlfriends/ex-gf's, and not many of them were nice :)

But time has changed. I can't be that person anymore. I mean, I want to. But imagine this: How would it be if I, a married guy, started to blog about 'The Various Talent of Jenna Jameson'. To most of you out there, that would be just plain wrong :P haha.

That was before Facebook. Before Twitter. haha. I guess now, if you want an update, just check on those websites. Much, much, MUCH more updated than a blog that hasn't had a new post since.... June 2009?

Now, that's just sad =/ haha.

Anyway, I'm going to TRY to be back. What am I going to write about? Well, I've been really getting into lists nowadays, so maybe something along those lines. If not, I'm sure you'd love to know what I did during the day right :P hahaha.

As if. :)

Seeya~

its so scary.

we've been thrown this hard ball right into our faces. at currently the hardest most important times of our lives.

and its not a normal problem. this hard ball will likely decide our future. how we will be as individuals.

how do we overcome this problem??

i want to be stronger than this. i want us to rise from this shithole with our heads held high and able to say 'we did the right thing'. i want to know for a fact that we took all the right moves.

probably its not so bad. i mean there's still a chance, slim as it is.

yet why do i get random poundings in my heart? why do i sometimes feel the weight of it all? why can't i concentrate?

now now i know other people in the world go through much worse. i can't even compare myself to them. but still, it still affects me.

i know God is testing us. or punishing us is more likely kot. i just wish that while he's doing that, He would give us the strength to be stronger. He'd give us the hikmah and keterangan hati to see clearly and fix this. He'd give aidah the energy and determination to overcome this. she needs to. she deserves it.

it sucks. i mean, if it doesn't work out, it could destroy us. and i'm not exaggerating. i hope we can recover but i don't know. i think thats the scary thing: if this doesn't work out, our lives would be changed. the future we envisaged would be, well not 100% gone, but still different from what we planned.

the worst part is i know she's probably going through worse.

i wish i could trade lives with her. she DOES NOT deserve to go through this.

she deserves to be happy. to be able to succeed in life. to fulfill her own dreams.

she does NOT deserve to worry about shit like this 5 days before exams. does NOT deserve to feel low and incapable. does NOT deserve to have her confidence shaken like this.

i wish i was stronger. i wish i knew what to say. i wish i myself is not affected by this, not because i'm selfish, but because if i wasn't affected, perhaps i'd be able to convince her and make her happy.

thats all i want.

for her to be happy.

damn you S-hole.

scared

its funny. i'm not the most hardworking guy around. i don't 'love' to study. i don't voluntary go to the library. i know exams are in two weeks and yet i still find excuses not to study.

yet all this does not bother me, because i know its my own mistakes.

what does bother and scare me though, is when aidah doesn't study.

when i study and she doesn't, i feel guilty because i know she should. when she's watching nip/tuck, i can't concentrate because i worry.

i worry. thats just it. another sign that i've changed. i actually worry about aidah. whether she can do her exams. if she gets through.

most of the time i worry more about her than i worry about myself.

i wasn't like this before. it was always 'i study, you tak study padan muka la'. now, not anymore.

its annoying. like that thing where i smile at her when actually i want to scream at her. sama gang. annoying.

haihz....
