Two Papers in A Month!

Wow! this month, I got 2 papers published! 
1) "Plagiarism issues in post-1998 Indonesian film posters" (with Emanuel Pratalaharja ) in Wacana Vol. 14 No. 1 (April 2013) p 82–98; 
2. "Two Orphan Films by Usmar Ismail" in Cinematheque Quarterly (April-June 2013). 

I will inform the details (and probably upload them at academia ) asap :).

Plan a Trip with Traveline :)

Wow! Unlike London, at first, it is very difficult to plan a trip to a small city likeNorwich, except for First Buses. So, it is very hard to figure out how to go, for example, to Blakeney or Morston Bay for a Seal Boat. Or to Norwich International Airport on Sunday before 9am.

Hence,  this traveline website is very useful for for journeys within the South, East and Midlands :) http://www.travelineeastanglia.co.uk/ea/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en&timeOffset=15

Five Broken Cameras (Full Movie)

This is one of the best documentary i've ever watched. Nominee of this year's Academy Awards:

Five Broken Cameras

No grand narratives, no big discourse on anti-zionism, no intifadhah or jihad. This is just a village people trying to get justice and get their land back from the Apartheid Israeli government. Just as simple as that. this film is a result of thousand of hours of footage and 5 years of filming daily life in a small village in the middle of modern imperialism and colonialism run by a state terrorist.

Lincoln as Robot? A Quote from The Big Bang Theory

"When I come back, just for fun, the subject will be alternative history. Specifically, how would the civil war have gone differently if Lincoln had been a robot sent from the future?"
-- Sheldon Cooper, The Big Bang Theory.

Oh ya, here's my review

WTF is Harlem Shake?

Harlem Shake, that new fever, becomes new trending topic, and finally visits Norwich, UK.

For me, Harlem Shake is not a style of a dance, since everybody can dance with their own styles. Unlike Gangnam Style or any other kind of dance, Harlem Shake has  no rule, no requirement, nothing--related to the movement, costume, not to mention the philosophical issues.

Basically, for me, it is just another  channel of exhibition for people to exist. As we know, one of the nature of virtual world is narcissism  and exhibitionism. Most of the people love being watched and acknowledged  by others as well as by themselves.  Hence, Harlem Shake fits with internet users and viral marketing.

Nonetheless, Harlem Shake is just another Thom Yorke's Lotus Flower dance. IMHO.

So, I prefer Poco-Poco, instead. :)
