Did You Hear What You Heard?

Here’s one interesting article that I have also re-written a number of times in different magazines. It’s about hearing the dialogues of the film you are watching and not merely ogle on the video (SEE article below, earlier published, and the one published in Men’s Edge, February 1995).

“Hear this, all you people; give ear, all you inhabitants of the world, both low and high, rich and poor together. My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall bring understanding.” – The Book of Psalms 49:1-3, Holy Bible, The New King James Version.

Picture Trivia



          In 2006, Samuel L(eroy) Jackson starred in the film Snakes on a Plane as FBI agent Neville Flynn. Do you know how many snakes were used in the film? Around 450 different species of snakes, including a 22-foot Burmese python that the production crew nicknamed “Kitty.” Most of the snakes you’ll see in the film, however, were added digitally.

          It was also in 2006 when Jackson starred in the film Black Snake Moan. It has, however, nothing to do with snakes, and the title of the film was only taken from the song of American blues singer and guitarist “Blind” Lemon Jefferson in 1927. In this film, Jackson played the role of Lazarus, a former blues musician who was deserted by his wife. The story revolves around Lazarus helping a young girl, Rae (Christina Ricci), long being abused by her parents.

Picture Trivia

          The lightsaber is an extraordinary weapon used by Jedis and Siths in the Star Wars film series. In the original lightsaber in the first Star Wars (1977) film, a blade of light 1.33 meter in length will extend once it is wielded. It can cut through almost anything and can cut a wound like being scorched by an extremely hot metal. There are no two lightsabers exactly alike, but Obi-Wan Kenobi’s lightsaber was similar to the one given to Luke Skywalker.
