About Ben & Jerry’s
Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc., was founded in 1978 in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont, USA, by childhood friends and dedicated hippies Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield. They soon became popular in the local community for their innovative flavours, made from fresh Vermont milk and cream and large portions of whatever ingredients they felt tasted good on the day of making!
Over the years, Ben & Jerry's moved from being a one parlour operation to manufacturing tubs of our increasingly famous ice cream for distribution to retail outlets nation-wide and now world-wide. Nonetheless, their motto remains that "business has a responsibility to the community in which it operates".
interesting the founders are hippes..haha..i hope they dun make the ice cream when listening to rock music and shaking their long hair around....

i not stupid 2
waited quite long for this movie..happen to notice that jack neo have a tendency to release his movies at CNY..I think it a pretty smart marketing technique..cos he know ppl tend to spend more and are willingly and able to catch more movies..personally for me ..i already catch 2 movie during CNY..So i guess he is pretty observant..But i guess he know that his film wont get into a direct clash with the release of the much awaited memoirs of a geisha and fearless.I not stupid 2 is a much awaited film too in spore..
He used the same cast but different characters..He is trying to highlight and critique on issues of sporeans esp in the growing up phase..So i guess there is goning be i not stupid too 3..but maybe he need to change the chinese characters for the movie called da ren bu stupid 3...haha...
This film is being told from the perspectives of Jerry(Protagonist).There are ample chances and time for characters to develop their personality and values..The characters are indeed develeoped quite well..I must say Jack Neo has deveolped and matured as a director..he is taking on more serious issues about communications and generation gap issues...
But what i feel the use of the rap music is pretty not suitable..in fact i just feel its like a spin off from initial d..the song sounds like Jay chou stlye...i need to read more on that...
on the whole i tink its a gd film..hope to catch is a 2nd time..to understand more,,
spore film is serious film..support spore film
