its happened. thats right folks, the day has finally comed that i've succumbed to temptation.. why, oh why..?! no, its definitely NOT what u're thinking.. then wat happened i hear you ask? hehe, well.. its like this. i decided to go for a movie yesterday. and it being a saturday it was expected that the ticket lines would be super long, and trust me - it was. okay fine, so there i stood looking with disbelief at the amount of ppl there was when i saw it (gasp, dare i say it?) *dum dum dum* the gold class line.. and it was empty. a quick glance to the board and found that Alexander was playing. perfectivante. 5 mins and 70 bucks poorer, i had 2 goldclass tix to see alexander. excellent.
i have to say that the experience was well.. different. after walking through the glass doors with the "Gold Class" words above it, u'd be greeted by a lounge area with a bar. i guess where the creme de-la creme of movie-goers go to socialize. so anyway wat u do is u place ur order of watever u want (popcorn, twisties, coke.. watever) and they'll send it up to u when the movie starts (kewl eh?). well, theres a doorway by the bar which leads to the actual cinema area, and if my memory serves me correctly, there's about 16 seats altogether. the seats here are actually plushy PVC sofas that can recline (but they're not comfy at all!) . these're placed in pairs with a table in between them throughout the room. wats kewl is that there is a button u can press in the middle of the table to call for "service".. hmmm. oh ya, one thing: its cold in there. i mean since there's only 16 ppl in there it got a lil cold halfway thru the movie. one bit of advise: do NOT ask for blankets as it'd cost u 5 bucks a piece *gasp gasp choke choke* all in all, it was a kewl experience.
okay, now on to my take on alexander. hmm.. i'm pretty in the dark about greek mythologies, so i can't quite comment on the storyline or its accuracy, but if titanic/pearl harbor was any indication i'm sure they went waaayyyy off true accounts of wat happened i'd expect. the acting was good and i felt that colin ferrell et all played their parts to perfection, but i dont think that was enough to save the show. it was ermm.. boring. and who'd expect alexander the great to be a bleeping homo?! hahaha.. i mean i know that people in antiquity (even many in the japanese feudal era) 'played' with boys, but alexander the great?! now makes u wonder.. did the 'greatness' come from his conquest of other nations.. or the conquests of other nations' boys. hehe. i have to add that the only thing that surpassed this show's boring-ness, was how disturbing it was. its just plain, mindless and very often draggy violence. it just went on and on and on. and halfway thru the show i felt that alexander just lost it. i couldn't quite understand why.. but he just lost it (potential show spoiler: stop reading now), he already achieved so much and his troops wanted to go back but he kept wanting to go on despite the chance of his success getting bleaker and bleaker. he only relented after being almost killed. i just found that weirrddd..
