Movie Mayhem

Whatahorriblenight.

Yesterday, mom wanted to watch the Quantum of Solace so we hurriedly bought tickets that afternoon for the 9.oo show in Cathay. Remember people, C-A-T-H-A-Y. Watching movies for mom especially dad is like a one in a million thing cause dad hates dislikes watching movies in cinemas.

One : He doesn't get the ambiance. He thinks turning out the lights in the living room is just as effective.

Two : He practically sleeps through almost every movie. He needs movies that are excessive complusive ; excessive laughterextremecomedy, excessive goreextremehorror, excessive violenceextremesaction and lastly excessive**toot**extremeyou-know-what.

Three : He figures that its a waste of time and money. "I prefer buying a DVD where you can watch it tenfold and more at home than in the cinema."

Anyway, when we reached our screening hall, there was NO air-con. I mean nothing. Zero wind/moving air. So it was a built in heater. Pfft.

Grr. And Nicky, whom I am NEVER EVER bringing for movies (with family; he tends to shut up when I brought him with friends). He was friggin talking as loud as possible and EVERYONE was looking at him us and one guy was like "SHHH!". I could barely conceal my embarrassment and irritation.


To rub 'salt' into my bloody 'wounds', my mom kept making 'flinching' noises and all those gasps and 'ahh!' at the action scenes. Needless to say, I was damned irritated by the heat, noise and whiny baby brothers.


And yet, the grand finale. The f***ingeffing audio went ka-bOOM! Silence. What the hell? Some guys shouted "Give me my money back!" & "Bond has gone mute!" Muffled laughter. A guy from Hong Kong was like muttering pretty angrily, saying well, about the crappy service and wanting to meet the management and stuff.


10 mins later, he came back saying, "Get out of your seats people! This movie isn't gonna become any better and let's go out to get a refund! They don't even seem apologetic about this..." Away he goes muttering in cantonese while the few of us laughed at his comments.


I won't talk about how bloody long the queue was and how the manager seemed more irritated than apologetic for this sort of... movie malfunction. I think you can guess my irritation has reached its boiling point and how Nicky's carefree runs didn't do a FAT lot of good.


All I can say is that we've got a full refund and we have three free admission passes thanks from the HK guy in yellow. Kudos, man!

Dad ; Me

You know? This is why you should never go and watch movies with me.

How so?

I am jinxed. (grins)

Are you really?

Oh, I am not a movie person anyway.

Okay. So remind me to never watch a movie with you again. At least in Cathay anyway. ITSUCKS. Golden Screens still rock.

Bet it is as sucky.

No it isn't!

And so, the argument continued.. -_-"
But we all agreed.

Cathay.... YOU BLOODY SUCK!!!

By the way,

Happy belated birthday Zi Yi..
Not the best day to bestow blessings.
Who knows? I might blast my mouth off.
xD

That was MY day.
