Get Smart is NOT as worth-watching as everyone thinks it is! Watched it over the weekend once it came out, some amongst my 10 friends fell asleep! Most commented its too "predictable", "can watch on DVD lor" or "plain slapstick". To think I hungered for it in months since watching the trailer on appletrailers. The best parts are already on the movie trailer lor.

Movie theatres-wise, I only have THIS to say: I Love Cathay cinemas (The Cathay) amongst all! Reasons below have been shared with so many frens haha:
(1) The popcorn is sooo good. Warm & with not sugar, but burnt caramel! That's how all popcorn shld be made! The whole cinema always smells perfect...
(2) The seats are better, more comfy, wanna sleep also damn shiok heh
(3) Cleaner, and newer facilities.
(4) Lesser pple at The Cathay, cf to Cineleisure. But both also good
(5) Have discounts for my credit cards

What I am dying to watch next (let's hope its not like Get Smart)

- 10 promises to my dog (I love dogs, I DON'T CARE even if this show is like 10 dogs dancing around for 2 hours)
- 21 (I love smart shows like this, yes, it's another Ocean's 11/12/13 blah, but this was a true story, how cool!)

i would say ppl would prefer to watch online is bcos the movie tix are expensive
then again, i think SG movie tix pricing is considered quite cheap oredi, compared to other countries.
got student price, senior citizen prices, discount with credit cards.... can help ppl save a bit of $ oso...
so i was thinking, maybe if the tix can be more affordable, more ppl would be inclined to go watch in the cinemas.....
however, with the increase in production cost (and everything else), i think it's quite hard to lower the price of tix lah.

for movies tt i feel are worth watching and supporting, i would go watch it in the cinemas
the rest if i think is not worth me spending money, i would watch online or not watch at all... no loss....

Its a very sad show to watch esp that you got pets at home.
Even the trailer was heart wrenching. But in reality its really what is going to happen, unless you keep a parrot and it outlive you.

Dunno about parrots, nobody's made any shows about them, except in certain plots, they just sit in the corner of the room & say that they have

For dogs, a lot of such shows, every one I cry like hell. Friends have told me, I cry more for animals shows then for human tragedy. I rem in pri sch, watch <White Fang> I cried the whole movie, all the way to the classroom to end of school day. Tsk....

Here's my beloved pup, he's in heaven chasing birds & lil' animals now:

actually last time when i was much younger, i pestered my parents to buy me a pet dog...but knowing the short attention time span that i have, luckily they never buy it for me...or else i would have brought harm to another innocent life!

In the end, they bought me a robotic dog...they say that if i want a dog, just put in battery!
Wow, that was smart, wasn't it?

Its a very sad fact but reality hurts. Pets generally do not live longer than humans. When its time for them to go, normally it hurts alot due the long time together and the feelings developed over time. But honestly for your pet to pass away due to old age can be considered a blessing as compared to death due to illness or accident. At least your pet pass away in peace.

If you haven't caught 赤壁, catch it. One mighty fine production. Pretty anti-climax at the end. But heck, it's good!

Yea, what I meant was that the end of part 1 was rather abrupt. Hence anti-climatic.

If they combined it into one show, he only earn your S$10. If 2 shows then can earn $20, why not? Haha...plus the success of the 1st show is indicative if they shld be spending more funds on the sequel, esp. marketing. If super well-received 1st time round, y shld they overspend on the next show hahaha~

Love the show to death....

Love The Dark Knight too...

i think to sit through 5 hours is quite a torture
so they chopped into 2.....
i thinking if i shd catch part 2 in gold class....

there is already a compressed version i think
2 parts squeeze into 2 or 3 hours.... showing in the states...

i would say they really spent a lot of money on the elaborate sets and intricate props
though i find some parts quite gay (the 2 of them playing Qin together)
the humour oso quite duh in some parts

I really like Red Cliff, but the ending puts me off.

I'm looking forward to Dark Knight. Heard a lot about it's intelligent scripting and dialouge.
