There’s just something slightly disturbing about a 6-year old kid with a crush on a motorcycle racer 22 years older than her. My kid sister and I were watching a speedway grand prix on tv yesterday, and when one of the riders pulled his helmet off, she gasped and exclaimed, “Oh wow! He’s so hot!” This coming from a little girl who drags a stuffed doggie along wherever she goes. Since then, she’s been bugging me to get pics of her ‘hottie’ (I swear that’s how she refers to him) Jason Crump so that she can paste them onto her school file. Some people might find that cheek-pinchingly cute, but when that same ex-toddler announces that she wants the pics also because the last thing she’d like to see each night before she closes her eyes in bed is his dirt-streaked face – so that she can dream about him, there’s definitely a whiff of unhealthy obsession.

The same unhealthy obsession that drove me to watch monster-infested Van Helsing three times since it opened. At 10 bucks a pop and me a lowly student, my wallet has been feeling the pinch. But what exactly was it that kept me going back for more over-the-top fx? Was it the rugged good looks of Hugh Jackman? Or perhaps it was the hunk Will Kemp or even the geekily adorable David Wenham? None of them, I’m afraid. Throughout the movie (all 3 viewings of it), my eyes were glued only to Count Dracula, or rather Richard Roxburgh. Corny accent, bad teeth, fugly minions and all. The sexy hair and evil smirk more than made up for everything. So well in fact, that I dug up my old copy of Mission Impossible: 2 and watched him get his pinkie chopped off thrice during the last week itself. Which reminds me, I haven’t gotten my daily Rox fix yet. Does anyone own a copy of ‘The Touch’? Y’know, the abysmally embarrassing movie starring Michelle Yeoh and sadly enough, Rox as the Big Bad? Still, bad movie with Rox is way better than movie with no Rox. So if you do own a copy of the movie, lend it to me and I’ll be yours for life.

Dirt-sucking vs Blood-sucking

Who's got it better?

And is unhealthy obsessiveness hereditary?

I was searching for the damned vcd in my cupboard but no luck my dear , it seems that I really did give it away to someone else or was it being hijecked by another Rox fan ? Fret not though , I may asked around if anyone of my mates have it. Is that vcd so rare ?

O cruel world. yes, it seems that it is that rare. the movie was so appalling, no one wanted to buy it. and unfortunately, in those pre-Rox-obsessed days of mine, neither did i

inemotional/antiemotional
i was thinking about that. maybe it's BECAUSE he doesn't feel emotion that he acts like that. we know that he wants to, cuz he laments about being 'hollow'. So maybe he's so overemotional because he's trying too hard to feel those emotions on some level. Overcompensation n everything. OR since he can't feel any emotion, he can't know if the emotion he does display is proportionate to the situation. I've obviously been thinking about this WAY too much.
