TRIPLE Revoir Part 1 - I, Lucifer

I am bored stiff, yet again, in the cold environment of my office. I am feeling really sleepy already and the air-condition isn't really helping with keeping me awake.

But anyway, I'm here to blog some entries to help me pass time.

I am going to review a book I bought way back, but really haven't got the time to finish it.

Its the book called "I, Lucifer"

The storyline is very simple, it revolves around the Devil, Lucifer. But here is the catch - Lucifer was given the chance to go back up. Yes, back up into Heaven. Of course, Lucifer took the chance into reconciliaition with the Old One up there. There was a great deal of condition here, Lucifer would have to live on the mortal world, as a mortal. So Lucifer was given the body of a writer by the name of Declan Gunn, whose career as a writer came to end even before he died.

This book has no apparent plot to it, neither does it have a progression of storyline to it. Basically, this book is really all about Lucifer, being the narcissistic being that he is. Since there is no apparent plot to the book, the author can only entice the readers with witty lines and bombastic English.

This book is really an extremist, its either you love it or you hate it. There is alot of digression from the main story plot in the form of parentasis. The digressions can be as short as a few words to a full fledge paragraph that takes up the whole page.

I like how the author made a simple expression of being "dead drunk" into a whole paragraph of descriptive, and everything right down to slightest detail detail.

Here is an excerpt from the booking describing how Lucifer felt about the crucification:

I've heard some theological guff in my time, but one of the most idiotic theories I've ever come across is the one suggesting that I possessed Judas Iscariot in order to bring about Jimmeny's betrayal. Can anyone explain this to me? Actually don't bother. I know the explanation. (I know all the explanations.) The explanation is that millions of people all over the world, despite being in full possession of a functioning cerebrum, think I wanted Christ crucified. Now if you'll allow me to be blunt for a moment: Are these people retarded? Christ's crucifixion was going to restart the mechanism for the forgiveness of sins. Which would mean? No one has to go to Hell.

So could you please tell me why I would do anything to help bring that about?

And guess what this book is going to be made into a movie that goes with the same name!!!

And the surprise is that the rumors are both Daniel Craig and Ewan Mcgregor are going to be part of the movie.

Now, I don't think Daniel Craig would be a stranger to any of us, but as always, for those that have been living under a rock, he is the new James Bond from the movie 007 Casino Royale and one of main lead opposite Nicole Kidman from the movie adaption of The Golden Compass.

Somehow, he does look the part of Lucifer with that picture on top. The buzz-cut hair, the white top with that blue jeans. He made look seemed a million dollar. He isn't exactly old but he isn't exactly young. But at least he looks alot better than Richard Gere or George Clooney; and Brad Pitt is so passe.



Well, I'm sure the Devil is not some old fogey, who has a pot belly, bitch tits and has a loose sack of hairy potatoe for his butt. And I think with the picture on top, we may have found a suitable (not perfect, mind you) actor for Lucifer.

And then we have Ewan Mcgregor, who is rumored to play the career dumped Declan Gunn (Declan Gunn is actually the anagram of Glenn Duncan, who is the name of the real author of the book, the book does have many reference to what Glenn Duncan wrote and in many forms, parodied versions of it, for example in real life Glenn Duncan wrote a book "Bodies in Motion" while in the book, Declan Gunn wrote a book by the title of "Bodies in Motion, Bodies at Rest.") who killed himself in a bathroom.

Ewan "Obi-Wan-Kenobi" Mcgregor is, as the name puts it, the actor behind the lightsaber-wielding jedi and mentor to the greatest Sith in the Star Wars series. He also acted opposite Nicole Kidman as a role of an author in the sexy musical cabaret (pronounced as Care-Ber-Ray) movie "Moulin Rouge".

Anyway here is Ewan Mcgregor in a skirt, I mean kilt.
