I know I'm pretty late for today's post, but what the heck, it's still Thursday. The rule (which I made, muahaha) didn't mention any time limit. I'm posting anyway, fair enough right?
So Tasya picked me up from class today :) She had to take a visitor's pass due to the whole 'strict security upgrade' on campus, which looked almost similar to an MC letter, haha. She wanted to watch Afdlin Shauki's latest movie 'Setem' and invited me to tag along together with Shah & Fareeza. Setem was not bad at all. I never get bored of Afdlin's comedies. They were REAL laughable ones, unlike other malaysian movies I've seen who try too hard to be comical, and epically FAIL! at it. Namely, Jangan Pandang Belakang Congkak. Seriously, if that's what you call funny, *tries hard not to be mean* sigh. Hate, no. Constructive critism, YES. (Some people seem to take things the wrong way, yes?)
Setem's about this whole media buzz about an old piece of stamp owned by this British dude who inherited it from his ancestors, that's been kept for almost a century and is now worth US$4million. Basically, the movie portrays the lives of 5 different groups of people who has big plans in attempting to steal the stamp, which made it interesting. They had a variety of groups of different standards & backgrounds, including con men, ex-convicts, disabled, Ah longs and immigrant fugitives. I don't wanna give a way too much, but all I can say is it's worth the watch, for me at least. If you're into Action Comedy, then you'll like it :)
Anyway, when we were in the cinema, there was a whole row of Brits sitting in front of us, which was pretty weird. I don't think they understood a thing, maybe from the gestures of the characters, yes but still, there was no English subtitle. Why is it, that we don't have English subtitles for Malay movies? How're tourists suppose appreciate Malaysian movies, if they don't even understand it. Even if they don't watch it, subtitles could still be a good way of improving Malaysians' English. Just a thought. SO, it turns out, that the Brits were family & friends of the British dude in the movie. He was there watching it too. Hahah. So cute.
Ohh, and I got stuck sitting next to a couple. One of my big NO-NOs when watching a movie. There's a reason for why I always ALWAYS get seats right at the end & NOT the middle, and that's because of people with excessive PDA (public display of affection) or, just plain annoyance. Everytime I get stuck with em, it's either the guy's lips or hands just can't leave the girl's skin, or the girl can't shut the eff up when watching "scary" scenes (one of em was Harry Potter, like wtf? scary?). This ain't no discrimination to couples, LOL. Coz believe me, I know a LOT of coolio couples. My hands type out information received straight from the brain of which my eyes transmits graphics to. BOOM! They're called observations. Apparently observations resulting in disgust. Erghh. (-_-").
Do I have more to say? Maybe. But I have a report to complete. Commitment (Rock The Posts) to be continued, yes?
Till then ♥
