Dont Come Knocking

Last week, I went for a press screening.

About 6 om, outside the swanky downtown, bayside office, we were all standing around, having fags.

The multi millionaire boss asked me, who looked ready to go.

"Where are you off to?"

The colleague then added :"Let's go to this Caribbean pub down Club street, you can sing there!"
Excited me spoke up, amongst the noises from the traffic in the background.

"I want!!! But! But I need to go for a press screening!"

Suddenly, the air was still, they all looked solemn. They suddenly looked concerned. Like WTH.

Finally, the other colleague spoke up :"So, you're going to the doctor ah?"

I was like :" Heh?"

"ya lah! Breast screening, like for cancer all that ah?"

Oh my goodness. I yelled :" Press screening! Like movie press screening leh!"

OHHHH!!!! , their reply rhymed..

The super stylo boss then spoke up :" Alamak.. I heard breast feeding"

EHheuheuhuee.. the shameee the shameee...

I think next time must say movie screening or something.

Anyway, yeah, I went for PRESS screening last week.


DONT COME KNOCKING


It was an arty farty yet real flick, by Wim Wenders. To be out soon.


It was the story about a famous cowboy actor, like that of Clint Eastwood, much adored by the women kind.. and getting old liao.. but supposedly still Sexy. But this one is screwed up. This stupid cowboy is involved with endless scandals on women, drugs, fights and whatnots. Not a surprise I suppose. With power and money comes scandals and other boh liao stuff.

So, during on of his movie shoot, somewhere in the desert, he went coke-high (I reckon) and fled with a horse and his gears. He just went fleeing off the set......

and disappeared.. into the sunset.

Everyone on set went ballistic. They obviously couldnt finish the movie without him, so they sent an officer to hunt him down.





Sam Shepherd is the scandalous cowboy, Howard Spence. He's supposed to be sexy, though old, but his crooked teeth look just awful leh.

Howard, off from the desert, went to his mother whom he hasn't seen for decades, seeking for refuge. Althought, he could not stay for long as he was being hunted down.

He has one damn cool mom I tell you. Heheuhue.. she's damn cool lah. She even covered for him. His mom then told him about this old flame of his who got his kid. She lives in Montana and so off he fled to Montana. Not quite sure what he was looking for though, the kid, the old flame or more refuge, or meaning to his life.





Jessica Lange....is cowboy's old flame, Doreen






Howard found his son from Doreen and saw exactly himself in the son. Explosive behaviour, disgusting tempers, wrecked sanity... just like him...
His son croons at a nearby pub at nights, like Elvis, but a damn damn sadder version.
This hoe of his makes quite a colourful supporting actress, I'd say, with her weird accent, character, fashion sense and crazy antics.






In Montana, he also met a newly found daughter of his, from another old flame, whom he cant bloody remember. She was sweet as pie. She led him through milestones of thoughts... Get that guy some sense man! What kind of man is that? Leaving kids all over the place. Those stupid movie stars really hor! Irresponsible bastards. In fact, not just movie stars, most men are lah. Basket.





All along, this cowboy has not changed his colour... he and his hoes prevail.. everywhere. He would wake up not knowing where he is, who those skanks are..
Can's someone donate some condoms to him?? Or his vasectomy fund please?

This world does not need another abandoned kids, man!

Such is life.


Sigh...







Tim Roth plays the straight, rather annoying officer, I dunno why I find him so annoying leh. It's still the Tim Roth I know though.
This officer went hunting down for Howard, who was 'lost' into the desert.

When he finally found Howard, Howard almost just found himself.

Or not.


You decide.



Urgh... sometimes, i think men need to be jailed, just being themselves.
