Movie Day

I used to watch a lot of movies since 9 years of age--with my dad. It was always every Thursdays Fridays Saturdays and Sundays. It was due to the fact that every Wednesday, most movie houses would have changed their movie lineup so we're like out there in a mad rush, checking first whether our awaited, "coming-soon's" are out for viewing.

Usually, there are more than 1 movie that're good (it had to be in the following order, HORROR, SCI-FI, WAR, COMEDY, COP/DETECTIVE). Often though, we go for the 3-hour academy award nominated movies, but it's rare or almost zilch when it comes to watching mushy (read: love story) movies.

I thought I would try to get the old habit back even without my Dad around. I am used to watching alone. Most people would look at me quizzically wond'rin where to draw the words, "normal" in the things I do.

Well, tonight..i'm watching this....

i've watched the two-flicker installment to Final Destination and I must say I love gore a whole lot. I liked Part 2 better than this and the first one. Although it's not so bad that Devon Sawa's not included anymore (the geek doesn't look good onscreen..I can do much better.. ho-hum[bug] )

This film still had the normal bloody scenes, burning flesh, decapitated heads, smashed-up heads, pierced through the skull, nailed through.. stuff that gives life to the movie.. still i like two better. must be the effects.

=======================

side note: i decided to watch the last full show, making sure the de-facto president's proclamation 1017 wasn't in full effect which included curfew and warrantless arrests. I arrived at Rob Ermita around 9:17pm, knowing that 9:20 was the last full show, so as i parked, i rushed... but whilst rushing, at the corner of my fish-eye, I noticed a familiar shape. I glanced towards the direction.

Lo and behold. It's the Beautiful Whale! BW was with S and they were headed to the 6th floor parking space. Hmm..but BW picked S up around 5pm..4 hours till that time.. they must've done a movie and some dinner I guess.

I called BW over the distance... and called again.. and hollered yet again this time.. He looked back and smiled. He asked, where are you off to? Movies I said. I quickly spotted S having this puzzled look like saying, "watching movies, alone? that a life?"

There wasn't any time at all for me to walk over and convince them that watching movies alone can be therapeutic and it is considered "normal" in every sense of the word.

I raced off after saying quick g'byes, and rushed off to the 4th floor movieworld. When I arrived, egads! it's not showing up there..it was at the second floor theater row. I rolled my eyes, in a true unconscious mannerism I forgot where I got, and ran to the second floor.

When I arrived, movie starts at 10:00PM.... TEN!??! wot was I supposed to do for the rest of the 35 minutes??! It was the longest half-hour or so in my entire life. All the stores are closed since it was 9pm plus, so i went to the nearest establishment I know woudl still be open at this time--the bowling alley.

For 30 minutes, i watched BALLS. yeah Bowling Balls being rolled, lolled, dropped, lofted all over the place. I miss bowling I guess.. I grabbed a quick juice at Gloria Jean's prior to going to the alley. I prayed silently that I won't meet anyone en route with a Gloria Jean's cup filled with some orangish-brownish liquid (juice from GJ's Lost?).

I settled in, watched the trailers, made mental notes of wot to watch soon. And happily regaled and absorbed every scene that was either gory or bloody. Nearly reaching the end of the movie, i got a text from BW, he's tired he says and won't be able to join the UST circle of friends for a nightout. I said yeah me too, i'll just head off to bed after the movie :D

coolness..
