Attention all Cinema Goers

My humble apologies to those who are expecting plenty of eye candy in terms of movies or outing pictures; I didn't bring a bag along because I was travelling (uhh, my Dad fetched me to my outing today) light.

I started off the day at about 9.30am? Didn't get a chance to say bye to my sister who was leaving for Malaysia (of all places?!) today, must keep praying though because Malaysia is having some floods (stupid rainy weather) in some areas.

It's been a while since I've blogged about something that starts a revelation, and I'm not too sure what was the essence of that something that I've blogged a while ago... Heh. Somebody remind me please?

On to some serious stuff. My computer connection has been down for several days (although I can manage to go online, for some funny reason) so I have refrained from tagging, blogging etc etc (anything you can do on an internet browser). But again for some funny reason (Nb: PLEASE PAY ATTENTION SMC, because your router is having some serious problems) I managed to fix it without even lifting a finger.

So anyway, I managed to finish the story of GTA: San Andreas; and frankly it isn't very interesting because the antagonist died without even me touching him. =D

And then about the stupid floods these few days even in Singapore: click here

Sometimes I look at myself here at home, and I ponder about the world outside who got caught in the floods at any one point in time. Heh. The moral of the story? If you can't take the rain, don't stay in Singapore.

I'm looking to find that media picture of the taxi at upper thomson road on that day where it got caught in the floods. Sad case.

So anyway, I went to catch Curse of the Golden Flower today with ZH again, no complaints because he has been my movie kaki for a very long time. And I really have no idea why some of these self-proclaimed movie critics argue that the movie is overrated and uninteresting. Somehow, there is this insistent existence of a bias against Chinese movies.

It's not just this movie, think Banquet.

So anyway, this movie is really funny because (don't blame me for my twisted frame of mind) you have to keep veering your eyes away from the revealing clothing that these "Tang women" wear. I have to keep wondering, is this really the Tang dynasty? Do they really dress like that? If you are wondering what I'm talking about, please watch the movie.

And funny because the expressions on the main character's faces are really defined, which sometimes draws laughs from the two of us (ONLY, I was frantically staring to my right to see if they were laughing but NO. Maybe we're really twisted).

But that's no the main point. The main point is this. Although this topic has been widely written about, I've decided to take the reins from here. It is really too much to bear.

Here are some of the irritating incidents that happened to me in the cinema today as well as for other incidents:

1. People who cannot control their bladder. I know it isn't their fault, but can't you just tell yourself "Just 5 more minutes" every hour? Mind you, if the toilet is 5km away, you'll miss the entire show so don't bother even running back to the cinema; especially in those ulu theatres LOL.
   
   
2. People who return from relieving their bladder. Especially if they are seated in the same row as yourself. "Excuse me, sorry" is all they could muster as if to hide their obvious embarrassment. And as if arching your back and crawling back to your seat would help me catch that few seconds of a famous cutscene which everyone would talk about a few days later.
   
   
3. People who don't relieve their bladders. Before the show, I mean. I don't like people who shfit in their seat when they are controlling their bladders. It's disgusting. 'Nuff said.
   
   
4. People who come in late for the show and make a whole lot of noise. This really disrupts the precious few seconds of screening. Especially when the introduction of the movie meant a lot to the whole plot. Grr. And those primary school kids who just got their outing freedom. Some of them haven't seen a movie screen before, they have to make such a hullabaloo in the cinema that we can't even hear our handphones ringing.
   
   
5. That said, people who don't turn their handphones to silent mode. What, you think we are interested in listening to your famous "Ah Beng" ringtone? Mind you, we don't even like techno!
   
   
6. People who don't close their mouths when eating. Popcorn isn't exactly your porridge. If you have to munch, MUNCH WITH YOUR TRAP SHUT.
   
   
7. People who call during movies. Especially when they already know that we're watching a movie. Can't you wait to call us?!
   
   
8. People who are too tall, yet they choose to sit in front of you. Yes exactly. Your big head (perhaps developed by years of training) really blocks our view so please, either slouch down or change your seat lah. I mean, you know you are 1.8m tall, so please choose a backseat the next time. Buy your ticket earlier or something lah.
   
   
9. People who choose to comment on every single part of the movie. Yes, you hate it when you friends do that. But what's worse, you hate it when the stranger beside you keeps telling his friend what's going to happen next. You can't control the stranger's mouth, but please for goodness sake, control your friend's mouth.
   
   
10. Lastly, people who watch movies twice. I have no problems with people watching the movie twice, actually. Just keep your trap shut for the rest of the movie, we don't need persistent sneak previews during the screening because surprise, surprise! We have eyes and we can see for ourselves.
    

That said, please, cinema-goers, please take note of these 10 points and don't break them.

Argh. Bad cinema day.
