first of, a funny anecdote a friend relayed to me. unfortunately, for the love of pantyhose [credit to charmaine here!] i can't remember who so don't sue me for um, copyright infringement of sorts.

"so there i was in the cinema watching prisoner of azkaban. before the movie itself, they were playing the typical slew of movie trailers including the one for Spiderman2.

suddenly, in the middle of the movie, this kid asks LOUDLY, 'where's spiderman? how come he haven't come out yet?'"


hurhur.
 
#EDIT: my math's tutor told me this one.

i think the movie reviewers have been too generous with their stars recently.
 
i watched spidey2 and it's definitely NOT worth the 5 stars it got.  it was good, maybe 4?
 
to me, a 5 star movie would have the epic proportions of Troy, the laugh-inducingness of Finding Nemo, the tear-jerking and camerawork of Moulin Rouge and the plot intricacy of Eternal Sunshine.
 
i of course do realize as my friend so cheerfully pointed out that such a movie would take like 5 hours.
 
bummer.
 
tsk tsk. and other than the shirt-ripping-off scene, ol Tobey was damn ugly in this movie man. well, not ALL of the movie, but there were this two scenes where he looked so HORRID that i had to close my eyes. erk! Flared Nostrils and Scrunched Up Grimace is not becoming of you maguire.
 
as usual, it was the villain that i found more..interesting i suppose. despite it all, i've always been more intrigued with the layers of the  Mr. Bad-and-Eville Guy rather than the Good Guy, though admittedly, spidey does offer more depth than the typical 'i'm good because i want to save people and it's the right thing to do' concept.
i suppose that's why during the short period of time when i used to watch smallville, i never cared for pretty boy Clark. it has always been lex lex lex for me.
 
like draco and spike. ooh, WHOT a co-incidence.
there is an uncanny parrallel-ism between the three.

a moment of sheer Horror yesterday:
 
we were studying at school yesterday, so Herr Hitler was making her rounds as usual as if our moment of hard-workingness was of her doing and she was our motivation. oh puh-leeeze.
 
so there i was, studying with a sort of sadness how the greed for power had corrupted Mao into launching the Cultural Revolution when i felt an arm around my shoulder and that already alarmed me because well, i'm not a very touchy-feely kinda person.
 
but lo and behold, when i turned to see who's arm it was, it belonged to HITLER!
 
oh oh how i bristled fumed and seethed as she saccharinely smiled at me and said in her equally sickening voice "are you studying hard, izyanti?"
gag puke gag.
 
i cannot believe her hypocrisy!
 
 
 
and not long ago, she wanted to make sure i knew that i was dispensable to the school and that oh yes, i was a liability to the school's image and that augh augh augh!
 
with much effort, i kept my face blank and said tonelessly, "yes."
huh at least she's not that thick not to realize the prickly vibes i was sending out.
 
the biyatch.
