good morning, singapore! only that the overcast skies are getting me into a melancholy mood. however, i am appreciating the moment, when i am just typing out a blog entry, listening to sun yan zi's album with a cup of oats on the table, just relaxing before i hit the gym to get my adrenaline rush. heh. i wish life was like this forever. okay not forever, too much to ask for. at least until the end of the holidays.
went for a movie and a dinner last night with my dragonboat buddies. went to fish and co with pq, alex, gm, xiangyi and melvin. shared seafood platter for 2 with alex. its a long time since i had that it was simply delicious. acutally finished my shared without feeling bloated like the last time. maybe its was too good. maybe i have a bigger stomach. maybe i was just very very hungry. heh. anyway. had a good dinner. learnt that alex likes to kick children, and at the same time has this whole list of expectations about what his own children must do in their childhood like play certain kinds of sports and all. haha! i imagine alex kicking his own kid if he decides to defy his expectant father. melvin wants his daughter to wear tight mini skirts and play tennis. can i be her coach melvin??? haha!!! the rest dun know if they will ever get the love of their lives and settle down and spawn football fields of children enough to start a team.
me included. i wonder if i will ever get down to starting a family. then again, i have an adverse dislike for crying, screaming, kicking kids with high pitch ear plitting wails. simultaneous, i love quiet children sitting still on chairs and looking at you with his or her huge eyes with wonder and amazement. of course, my children will have tiny eyes like mine, but no matter. such children will always be beautiful to me. oh god, i wonder if wives come in bundles carried by storks as they do children in all those disney cartoons.
anyway, after the dinner we went to watch alexander, joined by stanley and riesal. (warning: spoiler spoiler. then again i want to spoil it so you guys wont watch it) please, please, please i beg of you by the gods of zeus and hera, mercury and aphrodite, do NOT watch the show, do not but the vcd or dvd if you have. its a bad, bad show. terrible, a flop, a disaster. poor story narration, mediocre acting, worst direction ever. the lines are cryptic with winding words and arcaic english imitating uncomprehensible greek. the battle scenes are simply the director shaking his camera spasmodically at men swing knives around while assistants at the side splay ketchup and chilli sauce repeatedly. got such a big headache just trying make out what the heck was happening. the story has absolutely no focus. was the movie about treachery? or about chasing your dreams? or the qualities that make a great general. alexander has been famed as the greatest conqueror ever, but the story seems to be befuddled with repeated scenes of talk about power, women, Philip, conspiracies and all. maybe the movie is simply to reflect alexanders deteriorating mind descending into madness. still, there is no main story line except maybe alexander conquered but died because of his boyfriend. speaking of which, the gay scenes are super mild. seriously. i wonder what was all the hype about. my sister wants desperately to see two guys get together (sounds a little perverse on her part), but they dun. no big story of unrequited love like the titanic, just a side show of homoeroticism, that seems to have grabbed the attention of the movie goers. all you get is two guys declaring affection for each other which always just ends up with a hug. okay, so alexander kissed this body twisting servant for like 1 second. but its not even a kiss of passionate love. its bland. the show i mean. so the girls would love the show for that 1 second glimpse of colin farrell's butt. but, really, theres nothing exciting about that scene either. for the guys, so, there's the one interesting scene after alexander's wedding to an asian dancer, when they (no need to be shy here) had sex (gasp). well, you get to see what PQ the perv lawyer calls "pendulous boobs". the sex scene was like the battle field scenes, a frenetic shaking of the camera that seemed to aim at simply shooting two wriggling bodies that are supposed to be moving and moaning to the rhythm of love making. all you get is a blur of skin and a shadow of alexander climaxing. its devoid of passion. its devoid of cinematography. i mean, the show is bad enough. at least have some decent sex scenes. to please the movie goers at least. all that scene was sucessful at raising was my right eyebrow in the expression that says "uh????" but i must say, angelina jolie is super sultry and absolutely delicious, with that lips and eyes of hers. she plays a poisonous mother. well, she and that accent of hers can poison me anytime man. she's what I call, "one hot momma." in summary, bad battle scenes, bad gay scenes, bad sex scenes, bad story line, one hot woman. but still, a bad movie overall. oh. one more thing, its bad enough that the movies is a flop, two guys on my right had to giggle and laugh at what was supposed to be the saddest scene of all when alexander's lover dies of poison (apparently). well, decent people had to try their best to appreciate the show, but two guys had just to spoil it. haha! kidding PQ, GM. but it was kinda irritating but when they told us the joke, it was really funny (refer to PQ's blog for the humourous reason why they were laughing).
