69. Jason, Why?

Summary

Jason Statham (/ˈsteɪθəm/; born 26 July 1967) is an English actor, film producer, and former model. Typecast as the antihero, he is known for his action-thriller roles and portraying tough, irredeemable, and machiavellian characters. Throughout his film career, Statham has regularly performed his own stage combat and stunts.

Born in Derbyshire, England, he began practicing kung fu, kickboxing and karate recreationally in his youth while working at local market stalls. An avid footballer and diver, he was tapped by Britain's national diving team to compete in the 1990 Commonwealth Games. Shortly after, he was asked to model for French Connection, Tommy Hilfiger, and Levis in various advertising campaigns. Statham's past professional history working in market stalls inspired his casting in the Guy Ritchie crime films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000).

The commercial success of these films led him to star as Frank Martin in The Transporter trilogy (2002–08). After starring in a variety of heist and thriller films such as The Italian Job (2003), Crank (2006), War (2007), The Bank Job (2008), The Mechanic (2011), Spy (2015), and Mechanic: Resurrection (2016), he established himself as a leading actor in Hollywood. He would find further commercial success in the action series The Expendables (2010–14) and the Fast and the Furious franchise. His character in the latter, Deckard Shaw, would be featured in Fast & Furious 6 (2013), Furious 7 (2015), The Fate of the Furious (2017), and more recently is set to reprise in a spin-off, Hobbs and Shaw (2019).

His career as an actor and producer has been criticized for lacking depth and variety, however he has also been praised for leading the 2000s and 2010s action movie resurgences. According to a BBC News report, his film career from 2002 to 2017 generated an estimated US$1.5 billion (£1.1 billion) in ticket-sales, making him one of the movie industry's most bankable stars. Statham's impact on the British and American film industries is the subject of an ongoing academic study by Leeds Beckett University due to finish in late 2018.

This is how I view Jason Statham:
At first, he did action movies. He was great at it, he was tough, he was one of the heroes.
     

Then, he got handsome and starred at action drama movie. He didn't really get a partner but he's tough.
     

He tried to become a villain too. However, he still has this good character inside. I guess it's his strategy to get a nice life partner.

He even tried Asian girl.

Finally, he jumped off the cliff. He couldn't stand it anymore he's got insane. Now, he's a badass annoying insane hero.
  
Mr. Statham, if you could please sign here, you're officially a Bane Man (Badass Annoying insaNE hero).
Life is tough.
Hang in there.
I love your role.

68. Thank You Google #6 - Tilapia Fish Swimming Backwards


Original Title: Mujaer Mundur
Singer: Dewi Kirana

Tilapia fish swimming backwards because a catfish pecked on it.
Rolling and rolling on my bed because I keep remembering him
The tall you, who's already got someone else

Even if our love is as big as the mountain
We can't continue this love no matter what
Please stop, don't send me messages anymore

Tilapia fish, hey, tilapia fish
I have no other choice but to slowly back away
My love can never go deeper

Tilapia fish, hey, tilapia fish
I guess you're not meant to be
Good bye my love, good bye

  

It's hilarious because no fish can swim backwards.

But it's the right thing to do; to slowly back away before love goes deeper. He belongs to someone else, so it's too risky.

67. Thank You Google #5 - The Fish Farmer


Original Title: Juragan Empang
Singer: Dian Sastra

A star has fallen to my life
The light is shining so bright
Life is turning up to me
The fish farmer takes me to his fancy

I can't contain my happiness anymore
I've got a rich boyfriend
He spends his money on me
He buys me a pond of fish so I have enough food to eat

Oh my darling, I love you
I'll give anything for you
If you don't visit me even for just one day
It feels like your shadow is visiting me

If your heart is sincere towards me
Take me as your partner in life
Ask for my hand in marriage
My family and I will be happy to accept you



This is a modern Tarling genre, supposed to only use flute and guitar sound.

I see that it's using electric guitar, and there's a sound of drums in it too. However, it still maintains the sound of flute and guitar as its main ingredients. I'm discussing this song because the lyric captures my attention. Let's talk about the lyric instead.

Nothing to talk about, really...
I too, want to have a rich husband.
Who doesn't, right? Right?

I think this is a very interesting combination though, because she combines the slow tunes with how proud and happy she is. It's showing a unique taste, where you feel happy, yet you share your happiness calmly to everyone.

It gives this spark, annoying feeling towards the singer. Yet, I found myself humming along with the singer too, smiling with my own unique smug face. It's like I too, am spreading the word that I too, have attracted a rich guy. Calmly.

Ahah... Ah... Ah... Ah... (laughing in low voice, calmly)

66. Thank You Google #4 - I'm A Salary Man


Original Title: Aku Cah Kerjo
Singer: Pendhoza

I've been waiting for you
You've been gone for exactly a month today


Darling, if you think there's nothing to my declaration of love to you
I won't feel disappointed and heart broken.

Darling, I left you not because I wanna hurt you
I'm thinking of earning money for us
I ask that you won't feel pain because of this condition

Darling, my love is only for you
Let heaven and earth bear witness
You're the only woman in my heart

You don't have to decide, I'm not going anywhere
I left to make my mark in this world
I'm sorry I've never been by your side
My job won't let me be near you

I've never even been there on any of your singing performance
You just have to understand I left to earn a living for us

Wish me luck in whatever I do
I know this is heavy, but please hang on
Fate brings me to a job at a faraway place
Rest assured, I'd be faithful and won't think about any woman other than you

Darling, my love is only for you
Let heaven and earth bear witness
You're the only woman in my heart
Don't even think that my love for you has faded away
You're the only woman I think about
There's no other love because I am forever faithful to you

You have to trust my love for you
I swear I'd rather be dead than have another woman in my heart

I'll prove that my promise is true
Wait for my return, and we'll be married and we'll be together forever

I can only use chat message to contact you
Sometimes I can't get enough signal coverage
Please be patient, don't be angry
True love is full of obstacles
I only ask that you keep your love for me
Even if I often make you sad and miserable

Accept it with open hand, as wide as the ocean
You need to understand, I'm just a salary man


Darling, if that's your wish
I can only wait for you
I'll be strong without you

Darling, even if you left for work
I ask that you stay faithful to me
Don't fall for another woman


Just be patient, I'm just a salary man



If she were me:

Since you promise to never look at other woman,
Never mind my feelings for you


Just go chase your dream
Then, when you remember me, marry me and take me with you


That's if I'm not married to another man yet

Because you're...
[SLAP]
Too slow...


Ahah.. ah.. ah.. ah..
(this is me laughing with a low voice)

I'm dead serious though

65. Being Surrounded By Manipulators Like That Must Be Very Tiring

Synopsis

An artist who suffers from bipolar disorder suspects the residents of her luxury apartment building are being subliminally brainwashed.

Genres Action, Mystery, Thriller
Director Rob W. King
Starring Christina Ricci, John Cusack,
Brendan Fletcher


Regardless of whether or not we're mentally sane, it's very hard to find someone who'd trust us, fight alongside us, and be there to witness everything when it happened.

It turned out our own partner might also take a step back, look at us in disbelief, and blame us for bringing that subject up. There are also some people who don't want to go the distance so they won't admit it's true.

That's when we feel so lonely in this world. I think that it's fine that way. If you try to look deeper into yourself, make do with whatever is given, being alone isn't always a bad thing.

Getting Serious Now, Are We?
OF COURSE, HER SON IS MISSING WITHOUT A TRACE

Never mind them, Telly.
Go. Spend your lifetime finding your son.
I'm not coming though.

Movie Recommendation:
  • Distorted (2018)
