Stories, Tales, Lies & Exaggerations

I remember the first time I saw Moulin Rouge back in the summer of 2001: I wasn't expecting so much beauty intertwined frame after frame in front of my eyes. I admit that my amazement and sensibility to beauty was leveraged by the plain and boring surroundings of PYRAMID MALL's movie theater. I mention this because I remember I was fixed at Ewan McGregor's face in this movie: in many takes he had an uncanny resemblance to my brother Noé. YES, I know they don't look alike BUT in this movie they do (especially when Ewan's eyes look dark, not blueish) I snapped these pics off my TV, so those who know him can see...


Speaking of Australia (Baz Luhrmann, the director and writer, is australian), I met an australian at Hong Kong and we talked about Silverchair, Crowed House, Kylie, Baz, Kangaroos, the outback, Steve Irwin.... AND the population of Australia: I DIDNT KNOW it had a population of about 20 millions!!! Google it up and you find it has a density of 2.6/km2. Maybe you all knew this, but I thought there were more Aussies down there! Its like throwing in two Dominican Republics in that huge mass of land.

PS. Of no relevance, but today is Ewan's bday! Happy Bday Rentboy!! Who needs reasons when you've got love? (merging his heroin-addict-Trainspotting-character with his hopelessly-romactic-Moulin Rouge writer).
