of codec packs and movie...

dear diary,

remember that about last week or so ken, a friend from l.a. recommended me to watch 'conversations with other woman'. i was so excited about it when he wanted to pass it to me via online. what's more when i finally got it this morning yea!...

so me being a so-so in this computer thingy, just waited for ken to email me the instructions of what to do. first we tried on xp codec pack. unfortunately we realized that my dell is running on vista. then he resend me a file called VistaCodec_v514.exe., from his site for me to download.

then i had to uninstall the xp first, then only download and install vista codec pack.

according to ken, the reason for all this, is because microsoft have all the needed video and audio codec files needed to see all types of video and sound files. these packs just help to fix that, including being able to watch any dvd within media player.

owkay... thank you so much to ken for helping me to get all these thingy right. if not i dunno nothing about it at all as long as i get to watch the movie! weee...

now since i have just came back from my normal weekend morning routine, i need to clear up some house chores first. besides that there are other more important responsibilities to do like sending kids to their tuition classes etc. so the best time for me to lay down and watch the movie is definitely tonight... can't wait for that! cuz by just watching its montage (for testing hah!) already make me feel so excited :~)

the day i have been recommended to watch "conversations with other women"

an online friend of (+/-) 3+ years or so, ken, from l.a. (as in lebuh ampang? hehee... nah!) recommended me to watch "conversations with other women". it seems that the meetup with rizal recently really reminds him of that movie... hah! unfortunately too bad that its an explicit movies i do not think it can be released here. furthermore its actually of a 2005' production, and it has been released in cinemas in november 2006 anyway hmm... unless if ken can find a way to send me a copy of the dvd ;)

conversations with other women

synopsis

an encounter between two people with a shared past and conflicting futures is played out on a split-image screen in this offbeat drama. an unnamed man (aaron eckhart) and woman (helena bonham carter) are enjoying drinks and cigarettes in a hotel room after attending the wedding of a mutual friend. at first, the two seem to be playing a flirtatious game, as he cheerfully but confidently advances toward her, and she seems at once attracted and put off by his bravado. their pas de deux is shot and edited in split screen, with his image appearing in one half of the divided frame and hers appearing in the other. as time wears on, the man and woman begin crossing their appointed boundaries, and in some sequences one half of the frame represents the present while the other shows us events in the past. we learn that the man and woman had a tempestuous affair when they were in their late teens, and both are now committed to other people i.e. she has a husband, while he has a steady girl. how will the experiences of their past affect their present, and are they willing to betray their lovers for an evening's pleasure? 'conversations with other women' was the first feature film from director hans canosa. ~ mark deming, all movie guide
