A break from movie desert
The last time I've watched a movie was.....................see, i can't even remember when was the last time I watched a movie.
Anyway, I've decided to catch a movie today - alone. It seems like I'm always cursed with watching movies. When people ask me, I can't make it. When I ask people, they have watched it. During my JC days, Cedric and I are always the last among our friends to catch "The Matrix". Not just Matrix 2. Matrix 3 as well. In the end, it's just the both of us watching it. We would always feel awkward as people always give us the "are they homosexuals" stare.
Anyway, I was deciding between catching 881 and Ratatoulle (i'm too lazy to check up the spelling). Settled on 881 as I don't think I'll be able to watch it in its full Hokkien glory if it is shown on TV. Besides, it has been out for more than a month - someone's gonna yank it out of the theatres real soon.
Settled on watching it in AMK Hub. Love the cinema there. Comfortable seat, great leg room, and the slope is steep enough that I don't have to crouch down so that I wouldn't be blocking the person behind me. Great sound system as well. How in the world is Eng Wah @ Jubilee gonna compete?
Anyway, I think it is a great movie to watch. I love Royston Tan's trademark cinematography, and the visual metaphors used, especially the first scene. Lots of plot loopholes, but it's a nice film to sit back, relax, and enjoy. A little cheesy though.
Though some people wonder about its out-of-logic fantasy/magic/wuxia/mythical elements, I don't think it is out of place in anyway. Getai - is a fantasy land. Each singer, with their own lavish and garish costumes, transform and bring their audiences to a magical world of the story in their song.

long time ago, I watched "Brother Bear" alone at Bugis. The lady at the sales counter was surprised when I asked for a ticket.
"1 ticket?"
Can't anyone watch movies alone without being scrutinized?
that was the only cartoon (besides Mulan) I love. Made me cry. Sob!
