This is my favorite Pearl Jam's song. I've always dreamed of making a video out of it (yea, yea... dream on Ran ). This guy had a different idea, but he also think of black and white. I don't know, that's how the song feels like...

Years ago in LFM, we were watching Man on the Moon, a biopic of Andy Kaufman. The ending showed an appearance of Tony Clifton, Kaufman's alter ago. After the movie, we had a long debate over the finale. Who did Clifton? Was it Bob Zmuda? But Zmuda was there. Did Kaufman actually fake his own death? But how…?

The debate went on (for a few days, I think) until Johan came with the fact that the scene was not real. It was Zmuda who did Clifton. Of course, making an open ending (a smart choice made by Milos Forman and the scriptwriters) strengthening Kaufman’s character as pictured in the whole movie.

So it was a bit of turn off.

I was reminded of that experience after watching Into the Wild yesterday. It was a great movie. I adore Sean Penn and I fell in love with Chris. And then of course, as any master student with scientific mind person with broadband would do, I checked wikipedia.

Well, it’s not exactly a turn off, but there’s surely a controversy. Or I’d better say, the other side of the story.

So I’ve been thinking, is it really a good idea to check the facts regarding a biopic, or movies based on true story in general? Sometimes it can really spoil the movie. I really can’t remember any movie at this moment, but I was sure I had had been disappointed, knowing the truth, after really excited about a movie. Too much information not always a bless.

Hehe, '70-an emang seru

If I told you then it'd be true real, wouldn't it?

This is the last time. I promise. Will look for another blockbuster-wannabe movie to rip-off. And boy, it's really difficult to find this picture. It turns out that I didn't save any copy
(and, yea, yea... the original "Apa Artinya Cinta" poster is a copyright of Starvision)

Kemaren gue siaran SW. Muter lagu doang si, ga pake ngomong. Temanya good ol'90s (untuk menegaskan umur, hehe), dan lagu-lagunya tentu saja lagu-lagu yang ngetop jaman kita muda dulu *lirik-lirik '97 bersatu*

Ternyata... koleksi lagu Indonesia gue untuk periode itu dikit banget. Yang ada malah lagu-lagu vintage dari grup-grup indie macam Pure Saturday dan KUBIK (sebenarnya secara filosofi ini '90-an banget, hehe). Trus ada yang minta *glk, gak tega ngomongnya* Mungkinkah dari Stinky *gubrak*

Tanggung, sekalian aja gue nyari Ada Cinta-nya Bening, hehe. Sebenarnya gue nyari lagu ini. Ada yang punya mp3-nya?

Fail (Bening)

I never knew that I could turn this pain
All the beautiful memory turns to grey
I even could write a song
For believe the strength for my own

I`ve never understand of how I feel
I need somebody there to hold my tears
Please help me I'm falling
And I know that I can reach your hand

Reff :
All my dreams turn to pain
Coz all the visions that I see is not for real
Hold my hands and help me stand
Coz all the dreams I`ve ever had is always fail
And I know I fail again

The feelings that I have could never changed
And the sorrow that I felt will never end
But I should keep on trying
Even more the strength for my own

ini namain ipod ribet amat yak (warsito, 2008)*

Setelah berbulan-bulan membiarkan si iPod tanpa nama, gue mulai kasian dan merasa hal tersebut akan mempengaruhi perkembangan kejiwaannya. Sayangnya walopun buku elektronik nama-nama bayi bisa dibeli seharga 50 ribu rupiah via transfer BCA dan di pameran buku kemaren ada buku iPod & iTunes for Dummies seharga 4 euro sekian (lirik-lirik yang mau ke Maastricht), tak ada petunjuk yang bernas mengenai cara pemberian nama kepada iPod. Akhirnya gue terpaksa mencari-cari dan mempertimbangkan beberapa nama.

1. Podscape - panggilan sayang eeP
Karena tiap mo berangkat gue bertanya sama diri gue sendiri, soundscape atau Podscape? Tapi nama ini terdenger tidak seperti nama, lebih seperti semacam aliran cult gitu.

2. Oldrich Novy - panggilan sayang Ony (atau Oon, usulan Budi)
Ini adalah salah satu contoh nyata kompleksitas pemikiran seorang mahasiswa program master, atau bukti kepakujutan seseorang yang mengaku berpikiran linear. Berkaitan dengan soundscape vs Podscape tersebut di atas, karena gue pernah mengalami suatu pagi yang sangat musical, maka mendengarkan iPod mengingatkan gue pada Selma. Oldrich Novy adalah orang yang dimaksud Selma dalam larik "How come I can't help adore you? / You are in a musical". Harus nonton filmnya euy baru ngerti.
Masalahnya, nama Oldrich Novy kok ga gaul gitu ya. Gak edgy gitu. Hihi.

3. Polpod - panggilan sayang Pa'an (usulan Budi)
Bwahahahaha Maapkan roaming, dan maapkan gue Pot. Tapi ini bener-bener lucu buanget.

4. Dopiinar - panggilan sayang Dopi (usulan Ahmad)
Gue curiga ada agenda politik partai oposisi di balik usulan ini
Atau setidaknya usaha-usaha menghasut gue untuk lebih rajin berolahraga, hihi. Ngomong-ngomong, ini ada teori-teori kenapa kalo joging larinya berlawanan arah jarum jam (makin ga nyambuuuung)

Gue belum ngambil keputusan, jadi untuk sementara si iPod akan gue panggil Maliq. Soalnya gue lagi mendengarkan secara simultan lagunya Maliq & D'essentials yang berjudul Untitled. Hidup ini simetris, tah

*Gue ngutip lo lagi Bud. Tapi sori, yang ini gak seberapa jenial
