movies

finally got down to changing my major and declaring a minor.

watched stomp the yard yesterday. where i am.. there's only i think a couple of theatres, both of which are kinda.. well.. old.. and one would call them run-down.. but maybe 'quaint' would be a more positive word. im not sure how the infamous yangtze theatres look like in singapore.. but im guessing they might be similar. anyway it's not the theatre. it's the show. yangtze obviously fails miserably in both aspects. disgusting.

back to the show. it was draggy, long, and just too too tooooo damn cliche. here i hardly even know what's in the theatres.. unless i come across things online.. so i never heard of this show. it's something about this form or dance called 'stepping' which is pretty cool i guess.. i found myself kinda envying how strong they were and how well they executed their moves, but being the dance idiot i am, what i focused on more was the awful clicheness of the entire plot.

boy's brother dies. indirectly his fault. boy goes to college. boy meets girl (or rather. he meets her butt. that's what they keep showing anyway). girl's with asshole. boy outdances asshole. attracts girl. long complicated storyline. girl helps boy emotionally. boy wins girl. asshole's pissed off. boy wins competition.

i dont know if it's the cynic in me growing. but the whole plot just kinda pissed me off. it was kinda just really shallow.. and esp. esp. his relationship with the girl. i dont know what's wrong with me but i was absolutely disgusted. she was completely personality-less, character-less.. but. yea u know the power of love at first sight. especially when u're staring at someone's butt when they bend down to drink from the water cooler. everytime they appeared on screen.. fight.. make-up.. whatever. i just felt absolutely sick. but i guess.. a lot of times that's how things are in real life. right? or wrong? sigh. i dont care. was just really really really annoyed.


i realised movies really are quite annoying. coz they're just so. perfect. and unreal. dont like it. at all. and the trailers.. there was this horror show which totally freaked the shit out of me... even though im christian, and dont believe in like some stupid idiot suddenly floating towards me/crawling out of the freaking tv. but.. im human. and i definitely get scared.. i can be quite the coward at times.. my senior asked me how then do i survive in outfield.. great question. i never really thought of it.. i guess im just so damn stressed/ thinking of too many things to be scared. coz i seriously am not. on the flip side.. at night when i wanna go to the toilet from my bunk.. i try not to unless it's really necessary.. it's just too damn quiet.. and then i run 'lightly' back to my room. coz there's a freaking mirror at the end of the corridor. hate that.

the movie i really wanna watch is rocky balboa! it's such a... classic. and i actually like sly stallone. and it involves boxing. definitely a +++++. it's just such a classic!!! ive watched all the rockys... was telling my friend how cool it was and she said yea her dad watches them. well. i love old school man. and the simpsons movie.. teenage mutant ninja turtles... another classic.. sigh.

all right. abrupt end to post.
