UsDudes

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

A nice succinct summing up of this blockbuster.

I remember this show. Good times.

I love Nathan Fillion. Fun fact: the Sean Gunn in the credits is this guy from Gilmore Girls.

From Today newspaper, taken off here.

I don’t know whether I’ve mentioned on UsDudes before the amount of publicity Gurmit Singh’s been getting since he started appearing on local television. When SBC ‘privatised’ and became TCS and RCS, not only did Gurmit start starring on shows, he got his own show along with an ad campaign to go with it. Since then he’s gotten a disproportionate amount of hosting and acting gigs in comparison to almost anybody else at Mediacorp. I’ve theorised that they got Daniel Ong to co-host the second season of Singapore Idol with him simply because they didn’t want to let Gurmit go despite the bad publicity he got hosting the first season. So why Gurmit? Is it because he’s the yellowest brown guy at Mediacorp? Does he have photos of top Mediacorp executives with dead hookers? It boggles the mind occasionally.

I don’t begrudge him a living though. Clearly he works hard for the money (so hard for the money). It would be nice however to see Mediacorp push their younger talent on to bigger and better things.

And a word to the people behind 80’s Rewind.

When “That ’70s Show” first aired, it made the punctuation mistake of putting the apostrophe between the 0 and the s, like this: 70’s. Several seasons down the road, the show’s producers realised their mistake and moved the apostrophe to its proper place, before the number 70: That ’70s Show. This is correct because ’70s is actually a truncation of 1970s. Just like the truncation for little is ‘lil. The apostrophe comes first.

Then comes along MediaCorp, doing its own copy of the show, right down to the punctuation error: 80’s Rewind. For the record, it should be ’80s Rewind. Let’s see how many seasons it takes before they realise their mistake.

Thanks to Amos Kwok, who is one of the writers behind some of our favourite shows back in the day, including Shiver and Triple Nine.

In a bid to capitalise on the social networking phenomenon, UsDudes will be launching a new social networking site called Passbook.

As there’s currently a glut in the market for such sites, it follows that a new site should fill a gap that other sites have thus far been unable to. Thus not only will Passbook.com allow you to keep in touch with your friends by sharing your email and snail mail addresses, IM nicks or even your taste in movies, it will also allow your friends to trace your banking habits.

Never again will your friends have to wonder what banks you have accounts with, what your account numbers are or what your ATM card passwords are. All this information will be available at the click of a button. Need to know who among your friends has the most money in the bank? The Top Earning Friends application will take care of that! A wide variety of other applications will allow you to share everything from online transactions to NETS purchases to ATM withdrawals with your closest friends. Your friend is down to his last dollar in his savings account? Send him a hug to show that you care.

Passbook.com. The future of social networking.

Wonder what Azmi was so shocked about?
