Chinese New Year Trailer: Mission Implinkable

It's the Chinese New Year in the Maldives and someone is also having a birthday party. Stranger yet, plink has been allowed to carry the birthday cake, with sparklers.

'Aack!' as feared, plink trips again. Cake and sparklers travel briefly skywards, then earthwards. A number of attendees dive in slow motion, converging on the falling cake.

The outstretched hand of Tan Yee Wei saves the cake (and party), but the sparklers bounce free. Spraying fire as they tumble through the air, they land on a conveniently placed fuse, which starts to burn.

*Original Mission Impossible theme starts, with flute solo*

'Oh no!' plink scurries over the struggling mass of party-goers and sprints after the fast-burning fuse. Yee Wei gives chase, cake still in hand.

*fuse burns from left to right across the screen*

KucingGatal, watching from across the room, sees the fuse burning towards furniture. Moving quickly and changing shape as only a Kucing can, she darts under the most likely chair. Shredded carpet glints in the sunlight as she tears after the flame.

LB, struggling with the birthday durian, drops mallet and spike. Taking off after the Kucing, he nearly trips over plink but eventually does over YeeWei. Tumbling and rolling, the disoriented duo somehow manage to regain their feet and keep going after the fire.

Counting her angpau haul, Yvy suddenly becomes aware of a hissing noise. Turning to admonish the Kucing, it becomes apparent that there is a fire headed towards her. Sampan paddle in hand, Yvy dives for the burning fuse as well.

There is a tangle of four as Yvy, plink, Yee Wei and LBond come together again. Meanwhile the fuse continues to burn quickly.


*fuse burns from right to left across the screen*


Hedonistics Anonymous is enjoying sashimi, surreptitiously picking the bits off from the Yee Sang. Puzzled by the sudden smell of burning, she looks under the table to see the lit fuse spark its way towards her. The Hedo suddenly sees Kucing come through and leap towards her.


Both the cat and spark are gone in a flash and HA returns to her meal. She is interrupted by a sudden commotion as people dive under the table, under her chair, across her meal, everywhere. Giving up, Hedonistics shrugs her shoulders and gives chase as well.


Metria is reading on a couch, totally engrossed in her book. The tide of humanity washes over, under and through, carrying her with it. Not noticing the commotion, she stops only to turn the page.


*fuse burns from left to right again across the screen*


The Simple American steps back and admires his handywork. Combining American know-how with Thai firepower gives the best value for money, othewise known as the biggest bang for your buck. Eight strings of firecrackers, each one eight feet long, dangle from the balcony. SAm is glad that the display is properly set up.


Turning to look for the end of the fuse, he is suddenly passed by the blazing spark and then by the stampede after it.


*filmed in slow motion*


Arm outstretched, SAm starts after the seething mass of humanity (and cat). As the fuse branches, one spark becomes two, then four and eight. Jaws drop en masse as the crowd suddenly sees the Damocles' Sword of firecrackers hanging above.


Firecrackers fill the air with smoke and earsplitting noise. Shreds of red paper fill the air. For a long moment, smoke, explosions and red paper hide everything.


All is quiet. All that remains is a large pile of red paper on the drive. Then everyone bursts out, scattering red everywhere.


'Gong Xi Fa Cai!'


*end MI theme with trumpet fanfare*

TQTQ!!!
LB: For some reason, we like to see people crashing into one another. It's our emotional repression speaking, probably.
SAm: Phoning for more firepower?
Yvy: Hehe... sampan paddle, piakking; GO GIRL!
I want to do a John Wu version where everyone looks up at the firecrackers, doves fly past and metria snaps her book shut before all the crackers go off.

Shouldn't we hold like a nice ceremony with lots of cherry blossom petals floating in slo-mo, a couple of fake plastic pigeons floating across the screen, everyone dressed in cool whites and creams, white magnolias, a bit of a slight breeze swaying the coconut fronds, a lone scottish piper in the background wailing, and tables and tables of yummy pastries & champagne, for Kuching Gatal's "death scene"?..

Then a lone dark assassin in the form of the fantasyflier glide in by parachute, and says, "Heck, too late again!"?..

Maybe some hot dude can give me the kiss of life. I'm not too fussy, James Marsden will do.

He and I will be very happy together for the rest of my 8 lives.
