» Jittiwut Sasibutra is what a good majority of the female population would refer to as a "hottie".

B Magazine, Published on 28/04/2013
» In the early 1890s, when my grandfather Arthur Eckardt arrived in New York from Germany, he couldn't speak a word of English. Waiting for him at the dock was his big brother Otto. Arthur came strutting down the gangplank, proud of the big hat he wore: a high crowned, broad billed hat like Otto Von Bismarck's that symbolised that he had risen from an apprentice to a journeyman to a master ironmonger. Otto grabbed the hat off his head and threw it into the East River.

» Critics are not saboteurs, though sometimes we can be. I do not dream about movies _ there are more pleasant and sexier subjects _ and I enjoy Brave and The Avengers and The Expendables 2 and The Amazing Spider-man as much the average boy in your next seat. There are only movies I (or you) like and that I (or you) don't like, and if one day, I hope not soon, you put me in the ring at Lumpini Boxing Stadium, gloved, gagged, naked, oiled, and beat me up to pay for my ignorance, then let it be. But at least today in this traditional year-end pondering, please allow me to talk about movies that you mightn't have seen.

Stella is the star
Muse, Samila Wenin, Published on 18/08/2012
» When Karl Lagerfeld was told that Stella McCartney had been appointed to succeed him at Chloe back in 1997, he was quoted as saying: "Let's hope she's as gifted as her father." While no one but Lagerfeld knows for sure what he meant by that comment, it is fair to assume that he wasn't overly impressed with the young woman who had just graduated from college at that stage.
