Killers Movie Promotional Water Pistol

2009-12-23T11:06:00.003+08:00

Blue water pistol promoting the movie "Killers". Totally lame and cheap, this does not reflect well for the movie. What a total lack of effort!

Alien Resurrection Movie Baseball Cap

2009-12-23T10:16:00.001+08:00

How many movies can you make out of a character repeatedly fighting basically the same aliens? Well if you can make the aliens bigger and meaner, you can still film a few sequels of a blockbuster and still have the movie fanatics crawling back for more. What if the ending of the last Aliens movie had the heroine terminated? Thats not really a problem for the brilliant script writers, think clones and voila, the movie studios have a solution and rolls out another sequel to ween the dollars from our wallets.

The Negotiator Movie Baseball Cap

2009-12-23T09:34:00.001+08:00

I love this 1998 movie as it casts Kevin Spacey and Samuel L Jackson, who happen to be 2 of my favorite actors. This is an absolutely fantastic film filled with twists and turns, if you have not watched it yet, you are really missing out on something really good! Don't negotiate, just go watch The Negotiator.

I still cannot figure out why the "IA" characters on the cap is in another colour. Is it simply the design or does it mean something?

The Dark Knight: Batman Begins Movie Umbrella

2009-12-23T01:50:00.000+08:00

I have to state for the record... This is NOT my umbrella BUT it looks EXACTLY like mine. Its the same umbrella I got for attending the grand premiere of Batman Begins organised by DBS Credit Cards.

The Fifth Element Table Clock/ Pen Set

2009-12-23T00:31:00.001+08:00

Write Time, that's what it says on the box,,,, and its a terrible name. While it actually does tell the time and you can use the pen to write whatever comes to your mind, it is just plain wrong. When I was notified that I had won a movie premium from "The Fifth Element", I was elated... that is, until I saw the box it came in.

I really enjoyed watching The Fifth Element but the movie 'premium' is just plain crap, dont you think?

Its made in Malaysia.... shame on me. I actually thought this "Great" item was made in China.

What is Astro Boy Promo material for Liang Court doing in Tampines?

2009-11-21T01:00:00.001+08:00

I was at Century Square in Tampines on this Wed 18 Nov to watch the blockbuster movie 2012 when I csught sight of this lovely cardboard standee of Astro Boy with some words on it. On closer inspection, I noticed something very strange, the promotion sated on the standee advertised an Astro Boy meet and greet promotion for shoppers in Liang Court. I am still puzzled why this standee is in Tampines, shouldn't it be in Liang Court? And why was it placed so inconspicuously next to a Chupa Chups dispenser? So many questions....

The Tuxedo Movie Luggage Tag

2009-11-21T00:35:00.003+08:00

Anybody watched The Tuxedo movie from 2002 starring Jackie Chan and a very beautiful Jennifer Love Hewitt? Well, in the movie Jackie Chan plays a chauffeur who unwittingly dons the gadget laden tuxedo of his employer, who is actually a secret agent. Jackie gets into entangled with baddies involved in international espionage. Jennifer Love Hewitt plays the partner and love interest in the movie. The movie is a roller-coaster ride of non-stop action. This is a typical Jackie Chan movie and is a treat especially for his fans.

Shown here is my collection of Hong Kong martial arts comics dating back to the 1970s, notice that they are the first copy of each particular series. I bought these nostalgic comics at a flea market quite some time back, you don't see many copies of such comics available anymore. Unfortunately I don't have much information on these comics, so if someone could just provide more information or links, that would be much appreciated!

This is a set of MRT cards advertising a popular entertainment magazine called etc that was on sale in Singapore in the 1990s. Pamela Anderson and Cameron Diaz are shown here. I depended on this magazine for my weekly fix of entertainment news, its such a pity that the magazine is out of circulation. I do have a nice collection of the etc magazines with my favorite covers and will post on the blog at a later date.

Toy Story 2 Movie Mousepad

2009-11-17T17:38:00.001+08:00

This is an absolutely kawaii mousepad showing the aliens toys from the Disney Pixar movie Toy Story 2. I thought the first Toy Story movie was great, fortunately the follow-up sequel didn't disappoint and was well worth the wait and anticipation.

Blizzard Warcraft III Reign of Chaos Promotional Mousepad

2009-11-17T16:56:00.002+08:00

Although I don't really play any MMORG games, or should I say onlintoe games in general, I do realise the mass appeal of Warcraft worldwide. This mousepad came into my possession through an online contest. I have watched others play at the cyber cafe and Warcraft looks like a cool game. I can't wait for it to be made into a movie someday.

Austin Powers Movie Mousepad

2009-11-17T16:12:00.001+08:00

An artsy looking mousepad, that's the first thought that came into my mind when I saw this Austin Powers mousepad. Kind of like something from the pop artist Andy Warhol don't you think? Its to promote the Austin Powers movie of course.

Babylon 5 Baseball Cap

2009-11-17T15:59:00.000+08:00

This is a Babylon 5 baseball cap to promote the television series when it screened on the local channel in Singapore. Anybody watched this sci-fi series? Well I have to be haonest and admit that I didn't really watch many episodes as I'm more of a Star Trek junkie. But the Babylon series should be good, considering that it ran for five full seasons.

Raising Helen Movie Handbag

2009-11-16T10:27:00.000+08:00

An interesting item to promote the Raising Helen movie is this handbag, perhaps the marketing guys at Touchstone Pictures wanted something to have something more feminine for this movie.

This is the tshirt given out in Singapore to promote the Herbie Fully Loaded movie in 2005. Lindsay Lohan is the female lead who owns a Volkswagen car with a mind of its own. Did not really dig the movie but the tshirt is alright.
