Goes for the 6.40pm show of Before Sunset just now at Orchard, and it was a false alarm. Yes, false alarm.
Cathay did not update the schedule for next week, and i just thought that Before Sunset would come to an end today, but after checking the schedule, Goddamn it. It will run for another week and comes with a few more shows. Just wonder where has the efficiency of these cineplext gone to. And unsurprisingly, it was a full house tonite, despite the fact that the standard has fall. And when outside the theatre states that they are now screening Ladder 49 (it's actually the previous show before B.S) rite beside Hall 8, i took a peek at ....hehe. 5X2 at Hall 7. Expecting to see some sex scene (5x2 was rated R21 for sexual content), what i see was only a few pathetic audience, and the screen shows a dark background, where the actress said to the actor in English: Anyway, thanks for the cigarettes. (It should be in French, that's why.)
Somehow, the standard of efficiency of these cineplex has fallen back to the times where we had big canvas screen, tickets were marked with china marker on seating paln and tix, stalls selling kacang putihs, filthy toilets and wooden seats with big numbers on the back. If you had been thru the times, or watched a movie at Empress, you get what i mean. Now, with tix selling at $8.50 on weekends, big movie organisations such as GV ripped off the patron's freedom of choosing their own seat, auditoriums getting pathetically smaller and smaller (GV Marina Hall 1 and 2 seats only 67-70 patrons.) sigh... At least we know one thing: the choices of movies is getting wider and wider. But sometimes i really wonder do we deserve to pay $8.50 on weekends and get a nasty experience in the end? Bah. That explains why i hardly goes for movies on weekends.
Sometimes i prefer going for DVD's at home on weekends, and yes, i've been spending the past few boring weekends on DVD's. At least DVD's fails to disappoint me. Xian...
And yeah finally, Bridget Jone's is back! More kinky, more saucy, fatter, more lunatic than ever!
