June 04, Hollywood can suck my. . . wood. { 9:10 PM }
I can proudly say something that 97% of the people in the world can never say: My shoe got stuck in the escalator and jammed the entire thing. And not just your average escalator too, one in the middle of Orchard Road.
Okay let's face it, it's nothing to be proud of, but I will repeat the 3 words I said that day -
THIS - IS - AWKWARD.
On a more positive note, it made an innocuous day meant to be spent watching Shrek a tad livelier. For one thing, it sure as hell got a 6/5 from my resident movie critic, as opposed to the 3/5 she gave Shrek. Eat my dust, Hollywood!
Speaking of Hollywood, I have 3 words for you people -
BURN - IN - HELL.
Stop doing remakes of classics, unless you're gonna make the storyline better. Even so, just don't touch them. And I'm dead serious about this. For example, you wouldn't drag your grandma to the nearest nip/tuck clinic just because she looks old, would you. What're you gonna do, give her Megan Fox's body?
Moral of the story - If you're a scriptwriter/ director from Hollywood, and you've run out of plots to use, stop digging in the trashcan and come up with something new. And if you don't have something new, travel! Go to different parts of the world, see new things, and make new movies. But don't you dare hybridise movies - if I so much as see a Haruman School Musical or a Top Gandhi in the cinemas, I'm gonna turn my attention to Japanese/ Korean/ Hong Kong/ Taiwan (ok maybe not)/ British movies.
And I'm not just speaking for myself, but for every other red blooded, patriotic, movie - lovin' person in this world.
In other news. My body hurts like hell and there's nothing I can do about it. Once upon a time, when I was younger, I thought I could do anything and get away with it. But now one year later, everytime I do something I have to reconsider, or risk hurting my bones/ joints/ muscles.
I am, as they say, an old man in a kid's body. Zeke
