Ughhh Factors When Watching Movies

Alright, finally had some free time (wait, that's an understatement...should be LOTS of free time) in office to talk about the things that annoy me when Im watching my movie, either on the big screen or the idiot box (what is idiot box? go search the meaning yourself..).

Countdown to the things that make me go UGHHH when watching movie:

10) Distracting noises/sound from the environment - from where i live, this can only be achieved by the ever almighty place of worship, the Mosque. Other than that, noises coming from the crowd and annoying ahbeng/ahlien ringtones in the cinemas rarely happens.

9) People trying to act smart - Lots of cases of these happen between old folks, aunties and uncles. This happens when watching their favourite serial drama. Sometimes one uncle/auntie will go "ha! i know who killed him! Must be his grandfather's sister's son's wife's cousin sister-in-law etc etc". Keep to yourself la...dont potong people's stim can or not...

8) People walking across your line of sight, repeatedly blocking your view until you have to say "oi, im watching show la, dont block...***** no manners..."

I know you guys cant bear reading all 10 points, so i'll just skip to number 1.

1) People suffering from blur-case syndrome - Seriously, this is the ultimate annoyance factor. Imagine watching the intro for a CSI show and suddenly a friend/family member goes "who did that?". Diu...watch the show and find out laaaaa...dont act noob please~~ Your questions will be answered right before the end of the show, ok??

There...i made a list of the factors that make me go UGHHH when watching movies/shows. Hopefully in future, i can refer back to this list for any updating to be done.

2012 Movie Review

When this movie first came out in the cinemas, I've heard plenty of hype that it was a great movie, a "must-watch" movie of the year. I was a bit skeptical about the movie, but didnt get to watch in in the cinemas (for some unknown reason). The trailer looked promising with action packed in less than 5 min.

Well, the trailer was (as you know it) just a trailer. The best parts of the movie is already in the trailer and there is nothing else jaw-dropping left in the movie. I watched for the first 30 min and I'm already feeling sleepy. I guess the biggest mistakes made by the producers of the movie is to include random technical jargon all over the place, stuff that relate to geological and astronomical studies and what-not. 30 min was wasted on that, not to mention nonsense, lame, and political dialogues that bring no meaning to the whole story. At least PJ's King Kong did a better storytelling of the background of the characters that serve different purposes later in the movie.

Apparently, in 2012, in the biggest and most dominant country in the whole world, their citizens STILL do not realize that the "government" are all lies. They STILL believe them when they are asked to "calm down" when reality suggests they should be panicking. Really bodoh *facepalm*. Also, many people said this movie was "action packed all the way from start till end". I dont see any "action". unless you people mean "verbal action" la~. Things like "we have to get out of blablabla, get to blablabla. Come on! Hurry blablabla. Get that blablabla. We gotta make it out here alive blablabla."

And I really really hope they dont mean the CG...because CG dont mean anything other than to make you "waaa, you saw that?! the car went thru a collapsing glass building!!! yeng wor!!!". Seriously, dont...i will kill you for that. IMO, "The Sinking of Japan" did better overall although the CG was quite fake. THAT movie was touching, saddening and shows the fight for survival and ultimate sacrifice. 2012 on the other hand...is like a ride in the jurassic park which lasts for (yep...you guessed it) less than 5 min.

There are so many negative things i want to say, but i just cant remember the movie. It is that bad! I wanted to turn off the dvd player after 1 hour into the movie...but didnt because my parents were watching (my mother was totally oblivious to what's happening on-screen and contributed to my UGHHH factor)

**UGHHH factor = things that i dont like when watching a movie

hmm, i really should create a post just for that, just realised i didnt make one before

No Need Title Laaaa

Have you ever played games, as in video games, before? Dont know why some people always say certain games are fake/not real/nonsense. Yea, games are fake...that's why it is a DAMN GAME. You want real? Then go rob a bank, play with the police, gamble your life in prison, try it! Its fun...i can assure you...Games are meant to be fake, come on. Why nobody ever complained "hey, look! It's Tetris...so fake...i wont play" WTF, obviously there is no such thing as "falling-bricks-which-will-twist-and-turn-at-will-in-mid-air-to-form-lines-at-the-floor-just-to-disappear-and-be-repeated-all-over-again-until-the-bricks-actually-fall-faster-and-then-the-game-over-screen-pops-up-mysteriously". To say that a game is fake just proves how irrational you can be in making decisions. I'll just go ahead and assume you are one of those people who play Final F-king Fantasy games (that game is boring as hell for me, but i wont say its fake, unlike you, because the combat system is very much like playing Chess which is turn-based...). LOL, if US and the middle east are going at their throats like turn-based strategy games, i will be amused. Seriously, who goes to war saying "ok, your turn now".

What-ever la...Maybe you're just the kind of person who does not game, very well, i can understand that...but dont let me catch you playing those flash games on FB because i will (and i mean i WILL) go up to you and scold you for being a hypocrite that you are, and always will be.

On a side note, Im going for my company's annual dinner tonight...so here's hoping i wouldn't come back empty handed. High hopes for the following lucky gifts:-

1. video cam
2. DSLR cam
3. iphone/3G handphone...?
4. x-hdd
5. console (haha, highly unlikely they will prepare this as a present XD)

if all else fails...then going home with goodie bag or hamper also ok kua...at least got something to fill up my stomach when im hungry...
