» In 1997, Atis Ruchirawat translated the script of the original Star Wars trilogy for subbing and dubbing in Thai. He didn't need the script, he said. He could recite the dialogue more or less by heart. He even knows the words Greedo and Jabba the Hutt say in their fictional language, though he does not care to speculate whether Greedo or Han Solo shot first. His scope of interest is boxed in by the film itself — he isn't concerned about the numerous spin-offs of the movies or unsolvable hypotheses.

Philosophy of design
Life, Pimrapee Thungkasemvathana, Published on 23/03/2015
» English designer, sculptor and architect Thomas Heatherwick established the Heatherwick Studio in 1994. He created the Rolling Bridge at Paddington Basin in London, on his own volition. He reinvented the iconic red London bus, down to the fabric for the seats, treating the interior of the bus like an architectural space. Heatherwick then went on to represent his homeland with the design of the UK Pavilion at the Shanghai Expo in 2010 — the Seed Cathedral, a hairy rectangular structure made with 60,000 identical clear acrylic rods, which created a curvaceous geometric interior space holding 250,000 seed samples. Sunlight travelled through the length of each rod, lighting up the space, and cast different hues throughout the day.

Going for Gold
Muse, Pimrapee Thungkasemvathana, Published on 11/10/2014
» 'I remember the exact moment. It was in 2004. Hurricane Charlie swept through our town. I remember the only channel we had was NBC. We were sitting there watching the Athens Games. I remember that exact moment. I was watching this girl, Carly Patterson, and she won the Olympic All-Around Champion medal. I was like 'Man, that chick is 16 and she's a gold medallist'. That's the ultimate dream of any athlete — to compete in the greatest stage in the world. And I knew I wanted to go there one day but I had no idea how. BMX wasn't in the Olympics in 2004," says Amanda Carr. She was only 14 years old then.

Men down the lens
Life, Pimrapee Thungkasemvathana, Published on 21/03/2014
» As a form of mass entertainment, films play a complex role in both influencing public perceptions and opinions, while also reflecting the cultural shifts of society. Consider the state of Thai gay-themed films since the commercial success of Iron Ladies (Satree Lek) in 2000, as well as other homosexual-related movies that have won international prizes or scored at the box office, and the issues of identity, representation and cinema all come together. Recently, Nitchapoom Chaianun's independently produced Pi Chai, My Bromance, about the development of love between a boy and his new brother adopted by the family, filled cinemas despite its limited release.
