BTC nowadays,,

Hr ni gw mampir ke BTC krn mo nganter nyokap ke BCA. BCA di BTC ni ternyata buka sabtu dan minggu juga. Bres dr stu, mama pgn liat SAMSAT di BTC. Awalnya cm pgn liat, tp ternyata hr minggu dah ampir akhir taun jg mereka tetep buka. Sekalian aja perpanjang STNK motor gw yg bentar lg abis. Rencananya gw bsok k ksini, tp krn gw bw tu STNK dan ada nyokap jg, yawda diberesin skalian aja. Ga sampe 5 menit dah beres, truz pas mo ke mobil naek eskalator eh ternyata ada griya mart baru buka dilantai yg sama., skalian deh nyokap beli keperluan yg udah pada abis. Kta nyokap sih cukup lengkap. Nah terus kta ngbrl mslh BTC skrg yg udah ampir ada smua.
Okay, mari kita list apa aja sih yg skrg ada di BEC. Mulai dari bioskop (favorit gw), Bilyar (1 lantei dibwh bioskop), SAMSAT dan SIM OUTLET (dilantei paling bawah), Cipaganti Travel, KFC, Salon, Foodcourt, ATM, Mushola, Blanja baju/fashion, Griya mart/supermarket, Wifi, Toko Komp, Game Center (Game Master klo ga slh), Toko Sulap, Convention Center, dll. Mnurut gw tu dah lengkap bgt, apalagi krn tempatnya deket bgt dr rmh. Tinggal naek skali angkot ato pk kendaraan ndiri ga sampe 10 menit. Klo dibandingkan dgn temannya yg berada di sukajadi, emng lebih happening dan glamor, tp klo dsana, mknan mahal, baju2 mahal2, paling cm klo ntn ato maen bilyar aja. Jd klo mnurut gw sih lebih lengkap di BTC kmn2, sgala murah lg. Fashion pun org bnyk milihnya dsini. Pokoknya mnurut gw one stop shop deh.

Salah satu film briliant dari james cammeron, menceritakan tentang Jake Sully seorang mantan marinir yang mengalami kecelakaan, hal ini menyebabkan kakinya tak bisa ia gunakan. Akan tetapi dengan dorongan dari saudara kembarnya yang merupakan seorang ilmuan, Jake berangkat menuju planet pandora walaupun saudaranya telah tiada. Akhirnya Jake pun dikontrak untuk menggantikan saudara kembarnya dalam proyek avatar.
Avatar adalah salah satu proyek penggabungan dna antara manusia dengan penduduk asli suatu planet kemudian dikendalikan jarak jauh oleh pemakai avatar. Avatar digunakan untuk berbaur dan memahami berbagai hal tentang penduduk alami suatu planet, dalam Pandora, ini adalah suku Na'vi.
Karena suatu hal yang tak terduga Jake yg seorang marinir justru diterima oleh para Na'vi. Akhirnya Jake diterima untuk belajar menjadi seorang Omaticayan atau penduduk lokal rumah pohon didampingi oleh Neytiri, putri dari pemimpin para Omaticayan. Apakah yang terjadi berikutnya??
Film ini merupakan salah satu film termahal dengan budget hampir mencapai $500 juta. James Cameron yang notabene sutradara dari titanic, film yang menggunakan spesial efek yang cukup menakjubkan pada masanya, menggarap film ini dengan cerita yang simple namun dengan durasi 3 jam penuh tanpa membuat penonton bosan. Hal ini terjadi karena penonton terus-menerus disuguhkan CGI/spesial efek yang dapat membuat mata berdecak kagum. Selain hal ini, khayalan/imaginasi James Cameron juga mendukung restrukturisasi dari pemandangan indah diseluruh pandora. Spesial efek mutakhir dan pemandangan indah pandora belum lengkap tanpa detail yang disuguhkan, berbagai hal-hal kecil sangat diperhatikan sehingga membuat kita benar-benar merasa menjelajahi pandora dengan segala vegetasi dan animalia yang ada didalamnya tergabung menjadi suatu pengalaman spektakuler. Imajinasi James Cameron tidak berhenti di hanya dikeindahan dalam pandora yang sangat dionjolkan saja, tetapi robot-robot dan pesawat canggih nan mutakhir-pun diturunkan dengan detail yang amat mencolok. Segala aspek ini betul-betul membuat kita tidak hanya berada dalam pandora tapi tepat ditengah peperangan yang terjadi.

As passing time, their bond grow stronger. At first it's just the talk about the thing they like, the thing they have in common. But later on the talk became more personal, like when rapidash had a crush on the next class girl which is blastoise friend and vice versa. In between class and lunch break, they always hang out together. Chating, laughing and joking, and even rapidash realize he have a great companion, that not a easy thing to happen cause rapidash is a loner and usually doesn't liker to be bothered by other people. Rapidash even consider blastoise as his brother who tells him about new things, always losing to him even when he cheats, protect him using blastoise own way, giving him advice and always be there when rapidash tells story about his family or the girl he loves.
When the they go to higher class, these band of friends must separate. At first they still see each other, but in time, they became too busy with their own business. They start to forget each other and the memory of their great companionship. But they now in their heart that their missing something.

The glimpse is blastoise. After a few text, rapidash decide to wrote it on his memory book, and hope someday that blastoise would see it.
Note from Rapidash :
Blastoise, you old turtle! Today i saw you on the transportation vehicle, and you still have that frown face on you. You never change! Haha But before i forget, i just wanna say a few word, and here it is. Thank you for being my friend, my one and true friend in junior high, cause without you i might not survived on junior high. You know i was a transfered student and it's hard for one to blend in sometime. And just to let you know that i considered you as a brother, a big brother and i know it after we separate class, like i'm losing an important brother. You always there when i need you bro! Okay, enough with the sentimental stuff! Just wanna say that we're grown up guys now, but the memory of you as my big brother and the great companionship we share it was the best and i will always treasure it.

Paranormal Activity


            Paranormal Activity mengisahkan tentang pasangan muda bernama Micah Sloat dan Katie Featherston tengah tinggal bersama di sebuah rumah di San Diego, California. Pasangan ini hampir setiap malam mendapatkan gangguan berupa bunyi-bunyian, lampu berkedap-kedip dan keran yang mendadak mati dan menyala. Dalam usaha mereka menuntaskan masalahnya Micah mengusulkan untuk membeli video kamera dan mikrofon untuk merekam kejadian disaat mereka tidur. Tapi disinilah cerita dimulai, karena gangguan tersebut  justru makin parah. Apakah yang akan terjadi selanjutnya ?
            Film ini disutradarai, ditulis dan diedit oleh Oren Peli. Dengan durasi 1 Jam 37 Menit, horror disuguhkan dengan cara baru yaitu Point Of View (POV). Metode ini bisa dibilang sedang tren, seperti Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield, Rec, Quarantine dll. Metode POV ini memiliki kelebihan, karena selain murah dan mudah, POV memberikan kesan pada penonton bahwa mereka sedang berada dalam cerita bersama para pemain. Tapi yang cukup tricky adalah penonton harus merasa terbawa dalam cerita, karena bila tidak maka mereka akan bosan dan menganggap film tsb tidak menarik.
            Seluruh detail pada film ini berusaha menunjukkan bahwa film ini merupakan kisah nyata, hal ini dapat dilihat dari set rumah yang sangat umum untuk rumah amerika kebanyakan, para aktor dan artis yang memakai nama asli mereka dalam film, kata-kata pada pembukaan film dan ending yang tanpa musik dan daftar cast. Dengan berbagai usaha ini film ini malah terkesan murah, dan anehnya film ini meraih top no.1 box office di amerika dalam waktu 4 minggu, dimana film lain biasanya mencapai dalam 1 minggu. Hal ini menunjukkan popularitas film ini terjadi karena saran dari penonton yang telah menonton film ini pada kerabat dan teman-teman mereka.
Me : Keren,,POV horor terakhir tu blair witch rec/qurantine kan zombie,,nah ini gw blang lebih top dr BWP,,dan walau pun terkesan murah, tp tiap detail di set bwt kta percaya bahwa itu kisah nyata dan kita merasa masuk didlm cerita. Bbrp yg mo gw highlight (WARNING!!SPOILER!!) : 
-cm ad 1 musik yg dimaenin di film ini,,itu jg bkn bwt adegan serem,,artinya semua kesereman dicerita ini dibuat dengan efek suara dan permainan psikologis kta.
-murah cm pk 1 kamera yg biasa bwt suting film dan dengan 5 cast yg pk nama asli mereka, yg jd sutradara sekaligus penulis cerita dan tukang edit.
-POV lg trend dan gw suka bgt metode ini!
-cara film ini sampai ni top box office dlm 4 minggu,,biasany kl film ga msk top box office pd minggu kedua,,artinya udah abis harapannya..Ato blm tentu jg yg dr minggu pertama jd box office bs bertahan ampe minggu ke 4. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa film ini memang disebarkan oleh orang yg udah ntn k tmn ato keluarganya.
-Permainan psikologisnya jago bet dah!!
