“While we have over 130,000 Indonesian blogs; most of the traffic are occupied by useless unimportant topics”—a fellow blogger said.

Doesn’t that statment feels like a disembowelment of our overconfident ego? But my gut says it’s true.

I am not going to delve into whats important and whats not. But if we dreamt of blogs replacing conventional media, we should start pruning well-written blogs on big-issue matters. This responsibility are twofolds, frankly.

See, having tonnes of good blogs on important subjects is, however, not enough. Good big-issue blogs needs good readers who are smart and concerned on the subject matters. If blog readers is still incapable to give proper comment on serious blogs like ndorokakung.com and priyadi.net, those great blogs we wish to have will be pretty much useless.

Why do we have to respect old people? If they are not worth respecting, would our respect be worthwhile?

Shouldn’t the respect be given to respectable people, regardless their age?

To best describe most Indonesian movies is by comparing them to living organism, notably human. They often started with good premise like a plump teenager, then losing direction during the midlife, and ended up rotten.

Radit and Jani is about rebellious street couple whose daily life is dedicated to rock-n-roll, drugs, and stealing foods. They have alotta lusty sex too, but since they are officially married, no free-sex were practiced. Things get sour when they have to pay the rent, while penniles at the same time. Meanwhile, the girl got pregnant too.

I was bored to death when this rebellious-couple movie slowly turning into a passable episodes of household conflicts. Apparently this part consume a major bulk of the screentime. If you go the moviehouse not to see a daily life, skip this.

Well inless you want to scrutinize Vino and Faharani steamy making out session.

We went to see this movie Pan’s Labyrinth by Del Torro. It was exciting and well paced (and likeable characters), but the ending is somehow a turn off. I didn’t understand what the hell this Dell Torro trying yo say. Overheard during the credit title are “This is the worst movie I have ever seen” and “My Rp 15.000 was not well spent”. Boy I hate when people making quick judgement for things they don’t understand.

My mistake is expecting Pan’s Labyrinth to be a generic fairytale.
