Hi blog, I realized my entries is kinda like psychology: mostly negative (I use this term subjectively) and full of lame jokes. (Also a very subjective, hopefully) Hence, I shall try to write something positively for once.
The idiot good-for-nothing father has finally gone overseas again to China! No putting up with him for another week! Yay!
I thought that was pretty positive.
Its the holidays now for me, if no one knows already. Been trying to look for a job. It would be so much easier if I didn't had my problem. (shakes head and sighs)
Shall try writing something different today. Went to watch movies with my friends last week. Caught Paranormal Activity 3 and In Time. I understand that some people don't like spoilers like me, but who cares? Only Mr Tay says "I Care". Too bad for you if you didn't catch it before the screening is over. Anyways if you really don't like being spoiled, stop reading.
Paranormal Activity 3...
...is achelly a sad story of a guy named Dennis, who lives with his girlfriend who has two little girls from a previous marriage. I'm not really concerned with things like this, but I know some people who would believe such stuff is akin to getting a bad deal. Even so, his girlfriend's mother aka Grandma aka mother-in-law, doesn't really like him, because Dennis apparently works as a pretty unstable job as a ... erm, wedding-video-reviewer thingy. I'm not really sure of its proper term, but he watches wedding videos for a living. I think. Cue foreshadowing.
Anyways, early in the movie, Dennis tries to create a sex tape with his girlfriend, but fails, due to an earthquake in the house. The failed sex tape then became a ghost tape when he realized he has caught some ghostly figure on camera, and he and his friend decides to install cameras around the house to gather more footage of this ghost.
Dennis finds several strange phenomenons, like the little girls behaving weirdly, and a symbol which is the sign of some convention of witches. This sign, which is supposedly used to brainwash girls into having sons, would not be out of place in a scenario with your Asian parents and grandparents. Just tell them you have a solution that ensures they get a grandson. They would totally buy it.
The middle of the movie is mostly boring and spooky. Lots of strange happenings, floating objects, loud sounds, weird behavior, little girls talking to air, but no one truly dies. I believe my experience for this part of the movie was bad mostly due to my popcorn, which I discovered to my sianness, which was more of burnt than sweet popcorn. So sian.
The climax of the movie finally arrives, when the girlfriend finally experiences the floating objects crashing in the house, decides to relocate to her mother's house. Dennis and girlfriend thought they would be safe, when shit happens. Girlfriend investigates and goes missing. Dennis doesn't finds anyone, but discovers the symbol from earlier on. All over his mother-in-law's house. And then he finds his mother-in-law, with a bunch of old women in black, are witches. Wow.
Running away, Dennis come across his girlfriend on the top of the stairs, levitating and proceeds to topple onto him to the bottom of the stairs. Dennis recovers, and manages to find one of the little girls. Not long, he also finds the other little girl, crouching and facing away from him, crying/laughing.
Sadly, Dennis did not play L4D, which came out in 2008, 10 years later from the story's timeline, because he would have known that crouching girls who are crying/laughing are Witches. Dennis startles the Little Witch, who incapacitates Dennis. Dennis, who is on the ground, waiting to be revived, encounters the True Bitc-, I mean Witch, who is actually...
His mother-in-law.
Grandma, kills Dennis by using her power, or probly getting the invisible thing to contort him and snap his back. My spine also ached as this point. The little girls acted as if everything was normal, and the movie ends. Moral of the story, Mother-in-laws are evil. The movie reinforces this point. I mean, when the ghostly thingy was in their house, nobody died, until they were in the grandma's house. Poor guy. Life sucks.
I also caught In Time.
In Time is a story about Will Salas, who is Justin Timberlake, in a world where everyone can only live till the age of 25 unless they can earn enough to live longer. The currency for this world is the time you have left to live. Long story short, you can buy the car you been dying to get, except you'll probly die immediately, via heart attack. Death Note much?
This movie is like one of those Taiwanese idol dramas, similar in the sense that it runs on a good concept, except that everyone in the show is young, you don't see a single old guy, and everyone takes advantage of this to come up with all sorts of stupid time-related puns. Singapore isn't mentioned in this movie because its probly a graveyard.
Although I didn't felt like I wasted my money, the plot sucks. I mean, the security for this time thingy, which is on everyone's left arm, doesn't exist at all. Oh and they are apparently too cool to arm wrestle. Any moron could simply use his/her right arm to overturn your right arm and steal all your time. Everyone in the world is young, which eliminates a set of problems, while introducing another, probly Oedipus complex. There was a scene in the movie where one guy introduced his harem as his mother, his wife and his daughter.
Will begins on a robbing spree, and the banks, which store surplus time, have no security. He simply just crash a van into a bank, with no security guards, taking all the time together with the man's daughter who eloped with him like it was Bonnie and Clyde. They did this a lot of times. All successful. Did I mention there was no security?
They distributed all the stolen time to all the poor people. Will realized he Sala already, when he find out the prices for necessities got increased by the bad guys, who really should have done it from the start. Will and eloped daughter hatches a brilliant plan, and that brilliant plan is to steal from the eloped daughter's father. They were successful because Will managed to disguised himself as one of the father's guards. NO SECURITY.
Finally, the father is another moron. Unlike the banks, which store bits and pieces of time in capsules, this idiot decided to store ONE MILLION YEARS IN ONE CAPSULE. And so, it was successfully stolen, the system crashes, Will and eloped daughter manages to live several times on several short limits, (must have been daylight savings) Eloped daughter has no problem running on heels, and everyone makes more time-related puns. Happy ending! WTF FTW.
Finally finished this word-length-failed entry. You've probly realized I need a job. (shakes head and sighs.)
