<- may not so visible, but look, there's a heart on the curry-portion! :)Headed down to Somer to meet Odie dear for lunch and movie today! :)
Before that however, i had school.One of the few parts i dislike about school is the morning's class, where i have to sit virtually alone(in a figurative sense), being unfamiliar with the people i'm grouped with/surrounded by. It's awkward, to say the least.
Needless to say, i miss St Margs at these times, having known almost everyone in my class(grew up with most of them in Primary school)back then. Life there may have had it's fair share of problems, but it still felt like family, in a sense. Plus there were good times in the end too. :) To digress a bit, Odie misses St Margs too. Time for a visit, i reckon :D
Anyway, we watched Ab. Lincoln the Vamp Hunter, after a lunch of katsu curry, beef/ pork and rice. Did the usual crapping and whilst waiting for her, i did some crap with the remnants of my meal:
Used spoons to mold rice and coleslaw into a ball and scraped curry away from it it an 'outward' pattern. I call this crap 'modern art'(since almost anything can be called 'modern art' these days anyway).Ab Lincoln didn't come off as good to me! Had the requisite scary-looking vamps with dark varicose veins and mouthfuls of needle-like fangs and explosions, etc, but there wasn't enough character development. The entire movie felt too 'rushed'! By 'rushed', i mean a whole flurry of action sans the development-plots and scenes that were supposed to bridge each burst of action. It just felt like a sequence of unrelated scenes, but with the same actors. It's also very exaggerated and, well...unrealistic and overly dramatic. I get that the entire movie seems unrealistic in the first place(what with vampires and all), but seriously, who would be able to keep an entire, large herd of horses in one's stable-the number in the stable were far lesser than the volume of horses later seen in the same sequence- and leap from horse to horse during a stampede(even the human could do it, but realistically speaking, who could ever accomplish such a feat?)?
There was another scene in which Ab. and his friend fell from a train wreck. They were flailing wildly as they fell, panicking and all and abruptly, in the next moment, you see them balancing and walking on the remaining beams of the old railway system as if they were taking a stroll in a garden.
My goodness.
I think the director seems to have taken this whole 'unrealistic' notion a bit too far...but this is just my humble opinion anyway.
The guy on my left didn't make the movie seem any better by loudly commenting on it. For one hour + straight, all people in his vicinity could hear his proclaimations of "Wah! So stupid! Wah! Like that also can ah? Cheh so nonsense!"
-_- He should've just either kept his comments to himself or mumbled his thoughts into his tub of popcorn or smth. So annoying, i tell you.
The antagonists(main actors playing the roles of the vamps)were good though. Believable, and as a result of how unconvincing the other parts were, i began to look forward to their parts. The female and male vamp were hawtttt. :D
Odie thought it was good though. Far better, said she, than the one we saw the last time we watched Sadako 3D. I agreed that Sadako was meant to be a horror flick and not a comedy(so badly directed, comical and exaggerated that it turned into a comedy), and off we went to the mrt~
Chernobyl Diaries and Batman Begins next week. Can't wait!!! :DD So glad to have a friend who shares the same taste in movies! ^_^
Alrighty, gonna pop a few more lychees and go to bed.
Toodles ^_^
