popcorn time

I just watched a movie. Kingdom of Heaven.

Lots of horse-riding, sword-wielding, fireball-hurling, head-severing, artery-slashing, & God-priasing moments...

I've never been a big fan of such ancient wartime shows... in fact, any wartime shows (ancient, semi-modern, modern, futuristic)... I cringe when the desire to kill & conquer is so stark-nakedly displayed on those sweat-streaked faces; when blood spurts out so freely like some free-wheeling projectile; when wounds lie so invitingly open for vultures to peck... Eeeks... Give me some sweet rose-scented romance, some deep brain-teasing thriller, some reflective tear-jerking biography, some magical potter-like story, or some Incredible cartoony animation anytime.

Oh, ancient war-time shows aside, ancient fantasy like LOTR are also out of my radar (LOTR fans, no offence pls, it's a personal thing & I totally respect ur worshipping of mr frodo and/or mr aragon and/or mr legolas), as with crude pointless sex-shows-masquerading-as-comedies type.

Call me weird/biased, but then again, Man evolves... Perhaps next time, you'd see me queuing up for a LOTR/Star Wars ticket. But then again, with that never-ending, pocket-burning hike in ticket prices, maybe not.

May The Force Be With You.

Adios.
