I know I should engage your attention if I wanted my page to rake up an obscene amount of hits. I suppose, in doing that, I ought to say something highfalutinly profound to give the impression that I am "interesting."
However, as I mainly concern myself of trivial stuff (i.e. taming my ugly mop of hair; hunting for the Lint Monster that eats up my socks during washer spin cycle), I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to pull off having an intrinsic character despite peppering this space with lotsa German words like "zeitgeist", "weltanschauung", and "volkswagen".
I am shallow, people of the universe. So shallow that I tidy up complexity by putting people into neat boxes of stereotypes using the question, "What's your sign?".
But when I tire of being shallow, I try to critique movies and books. And sometimes, when my insecurity-level spikes so low, I try to make myself sound so interesting by talking about philosophy. "Try" is the operative word here.
Please excuse me if I talk about me a lot. It's my favorite topic. Next to talking about nothing.
And when one talks about nothing, nothing becomes something. And it's called "crap".
Overheard at the Cinema
July 30, 2008When in the movie house, sometimes entertainment isn’t limited on the screen in front of you. If you’re lucky enough to be seated near an irrepressibly opinionated movie viewer, you’ll have an extra something to talk (or blog) about besides the movie you just watched.
* * * * * *
Movie: 300
Scene: Sparta was visited by Xerxes’ messenger who probably wasn’t used to having women around him because he got easily annoyed at the most obvious female characteristic (i.e. can’t shut up) Queen Gorgo displayed:
Messenger: What makes this woman think she can speak among men?
Queen Gorgo: Because only Spartan women give birth to real men.
Irrepressibly Opinionated Movie Viewer (IOMV) Moment #1:
Non-Spartan Girlfriend (said with conviction): “Ay, korek ka dyan sister! Korek ka dyan!”
Non-Spartan Boyfriend beside her: *grunt*
* * * * * *
Movie: Sunshine
Scene: A close-up look at the sun revealed far too much for our IOMV…
IOMV Moment #2:
Girl said (in a disdainful tone): “Sus! Fake naman yung sun!”
* * * * * *
Movie: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
IOMV Moment #3:
Girl declared knowingly: Ah yeah. Hindi makakatagos ang apoy sa bus. Apoy yan e. Kaya kapag mercury.
Guy corrected: Silver Surfer sya, hon. Hindi Mercury Sulfer. Girl replied: Ah ok. Parang mercury pala ang silver.
Note: Silver Surfer’s power
* * * * * *
Movie: Kung Fu Panda
Scene: After 45 minutes of me gurgling with delight over Poh’s misadventures.
IOMV Moment #4:
Schroo expressed his opinion by closing his eyes to sleep. I expressed mine by jabbing him under the ribs.
* * * * * *
Movie: The Dark Night
Scene:
First time Joker came on screen.
IOMV #5:
Van was gripping Schroo’s shirt sleeve in fear when she was heard gritting her teeth bemoaning, “Bad make-up! Bad hair! Ugly purple suit! Oh the horror! The horror!”
