this entry is about one and a half weeks overdue, je suis très désolée.

yea, i’ve watched it twice. the most recent movies i’ve watched are the dark night, money no enough 2 and the mummy (3). i guess the hype in the blogosphere was too much and i didn’t really think tdk was that interesting. in fact it was conversely very boring. heath ledger reminded me of johnny depp and was probably the best part of the movie. i’m sorry but, why does this show have handsome actors but an ugly main actress? a whole lot of hooha/secrecy superhero shit that reminded me of the-slightly-more interesting-iron-man but it can NEVER, i repeat, NEVA, be compared to the stuff of spidey.

the mummy was bad beyond belief. national treasure-esque but boring as hell. sure the trailer definitely piqued my attention, the plot was interesting but nothing else was. my mind kept wandering all over the place when i watched it ahem, and the movie wasn’t even worthy of my full attention. next.

money no enough 2. honestly i didn’t think i would like it. the first movie was cringe-worthy, and the 2nd one is really made out of the same mould. jack neo always make the same kind of movies, the ones that capitalises on simple, common human emotions (or if i may, in the words of a certain melissalam, peasant emotions) and makes a whole movie that touch commonfolk, something that singaporeans can identify with. movies like i not stupid or home run were very, very embarrassing to say the least. money no enough 2 does not fall outside this genre; it is like just all the other singaporean films. however it does give you your money’s worth. what neo has portrayed are very raw emotions and troubles faced by many in our society today, and he has certainly milked it for all it’s worth. so yeah, i’ll give him credit - it’s very real, very funny and very touching, in a kind of ah beng way. i admit, i think his movies are worth watching purely because they epitomise the thinking of the older generation of chinese singaporeans, and it’s something close to my heart.

after watching it, i just had to take my ‘mama’ to see it too. i knew she’d enjoy it. i didn’t know, however, it’s been 10 years since she’d last seen a movie. i really loved watching it with her, seeing her teary eyes when the storyline hit close to home or when something tugged on a heartstring, hearing her hearty laughter when the hokkien jokes take the spotlight, getting a whiff of that familiar soap and holding on to her arm for warmth and comfort. i haven’t been very nice to her, and given that i haven’t exactly been home much at all, i haven’t seen much of her too, much less go out with her. i know she loves me and treats me like her own kid, and ahem contrary to popular beliefs, i’m not that unfilial.

i just signed up for the 30 hour famine. have never joined it before despite knowing about it for years now. actually i don’t really understand the purpose, but i guess empathy does strike you hard when you experience hunger yourself. shit what have i done oh no.

p.s. please stop saying that i sound like rainie yang. i consider that an insult. I DON’T NEED TO ACT CUTE OK I’M SO CUTE DDI WTF
