Posted on 30 May 2009 by Philbert Lui

The Banana Times presents,
INTER: Uninstall Alex

The first of a two-part sequel to INTER: Installation, starring Alex Chung and Lester Calleja from the Awkward Compilation (check out their comedy series on Facebook, its hilarious, and I help out with cinematography).

A vivid textual description of everyday computer and Internet activities.
Written, Edited and Directed by Philbert Lui.

A behind-the-scenes clip will be posted in a week’s time similar to INTER: Installation’s behind the scenes footage. More at The Banana Times Productions.

Enjoy!

Robert Downey Jr. is Sherlock Holmes, Alucard and Carmen Sandiego

Posted on 20 May 2009 by Philbert Lui

I exploded in my pants after watching this trailer:

Omigad so excited! Other than the Robert Downey Jr goodness and Guy Ritchie action, I was really looking forward to the type of British accent RDJ would use. I assumed he wouldn’t mimic his Charlie Chaplin performance. I-can-not-wait.

WouldYouLikeSomePie sent me an image a few days ago (scroll down), which extends my Sherlock Holmes vs Alucard comparison:

Ah yes, how the media “recycles constantly”.

That’s the end of my break. Now back to writing a 3000-word analysis on this awesome commercial (filmed in Hong Kong by the way):

S.H.E. says “Yes, We Can”?

Posted on 14 May 2009 by Philbert Lui

I’m back from my forced hiatus. Wilks banned me from the servers because I ate his last banana. I don’t regret it. It was long, soft and scrumptious (:

I actually just had a lot of other work to do. Anyway, its good to be back blogging. Its become an uncertified addiction. You know you’re getting hooked when you see something interesting or weird in your daily life (life outside of your computer proximity) and your first thought is “that would be awesome on my blog”. Sigh, blogaholic:

Thank you WouldYouLikeSomePie for showing me this a while ago :)

Now for the headliner:

Doesn’t S.H.E. know better than ripping off the slogan of the President of the United States? President Obama probably won’t sue or even acknowledge copyrights. George W. Bush on the other hand…

How to clean mug stains?

Posted on 07 May 2009 by wilks

Have you ever been bothered or rather disgusted from the sight of massive colonies of tea/coffee stains in your awesome white mug. A random discovery from a co-worker of mine have led to a fantastic discovery that there is a fast, easy and extremely cheap method to get rid of these stains! Don’t worry, i know i sound like an infomercial but i promise im not selling you anything. Nor am i using radioactive chemicals to clean your mug, its 100% natural and oh so fantastic.

All you need is a few small slices of lemon, pop em into the cup, using a spoon or poking apparatus squeeze out as much of the juices as you can and fill it up with warm water. Allow the water to sit there for awhile (i just left it there for a good hour, i assume the longer the better). After that you can literally WIPE off the stains with a paper towel and VOILA your white mug is back in business.

How random is this…?

I want to be a Rock Star

Posted on 01 May 2009 by wilks

I think at some point or another, many of us have had the “Rockstar” dream and with today’s technology, getting exposure is a lot easier than it was before. On top of that the wealth of information and music gear is sooo much more accessible that anyone can setup their own studio. Of course, talent is a different story but hardwork can really pay off take for instance artists like Marie Digby or Mysto and Pizzi have really taken the youtube vlogging to whole new level and have really boosted their music career from it.  I think the day that I get the courage to share my music with you all i will post it on here. In the meantime if there are any aspiring musical talents out there, please do send your stuff in, and maybe sometime down the road we can showcase you.

I leave you with a video that i recently came across and it’s people like Ronald Jenkees that are a real big inspiration to amateur musicians such as myself, damn this dude is talented.
