For anyone who is not a Simpson's fan, go watch the movie! I would say that the Simpsons is one of my favourite shows on tele (Seinfeld counts as my other strong favourites for sitcoms) simply because it is so simple. The show basically touches on common issues with a very humourous touch. Started watching it probably in secondary school but at that time could not really understand most of the jokes but as I got older, I realise that the issues they talk about are very real and honestly funny if you look at it from their perspective.
Saw the trailer for the movie probably 1 year ago, when they did a spoof on the Superman movie where Homer is actually superman. I think the movie came at a right time as people have been waiting for it for the past 18 years. The storyline was also apt as it covers environmental issues and made a few spoofs as well to jazz up the movie.
All the favourites were included in the movie with some exceptions such as Side-Show Bob, etc. Some of the scenes that sent me laughing were:
1) Chief Wiggum's son screaming out the Fox's theme music
2) Homer complaining of paying to watch something which can be watched free on tele
3) Homer praying that Flanders is gay
4) Of cos, spider pig and Harry Plopper
5) Cocoa done up by Flanders
6) Homer being toss between the rock and a hard place
Ok, I think that's all the summer blockbusters for now. The next big movie I want to watch is Ratouille! :-)
This upcoming week will be boring! Work is killing me but somehow this is also the time that I am most lonely. Anyone keen to catch up for this week, do jio me? :-)
Been struck with gastric flu for the past week or so.....been a horrible feeling but still trying to pin down the source of it as quite a few of my loved ones are also affected.
Just hope to recover fast!
Yes, every 2 years, Potter mania begins when a new book is published. The journey is finally coming to an end when the 7th book is published on 21st of July. Have been a Harry Potter fan since 2000 when my senior brought the first book to our ski trip in France. After arriving back from London, I immediately ordered all 4 books available at that time and read them all within 1 week.
Somehow, potter mania can convert many non-fantasy fans to instant Harry Potter's fanatics. The movies have also helped to crystallize some of the thoughts many people would have on the plot and characters. Just watched the 5th movie and I must say I am impressed. My impression of Book 5 is that it is long and draggy but somehow the movie has managed to capture the main essence of the book. Kudos to all the actors/actresses as well for bringing out such a good movie.
Now the wait will be over in slightly a week's time when the final instalment of the book is released. I can't wait! :-)
Finally, a weekend away for a relaxing break. Nothing fancy, just a weekend away at Sentosa. We stayed at Rasa Sentosa resort for saturday. Reached the resort at about 7pm as I had to meet some friends earlier and our Die Hard 4.0 movie. Ta baoed KFC as well. :-)
The disappointment started when we arrived at the hotel. The hotel did not had our reservations and we nearly ended up without a room. When we got to the room, the room was a big disappointment. Very basic and simple and the television is even smaller than 21". The toilet did not have a shower screen and did not even have a holder to hold the shower head. Considering the price we paid, it was definitely not worth it!
However, the trip was more to recharge ourselves since it has been more than a month since my exams. Am super tempted by the Bintan Lagoon discount...maybe in end August :-)
It's been a month after my exams and finally can start to watch movies again. Here is the list of movies I have watched since the end of my exams on 3rd of June.
1) Shrek 3
2) Pirates of Carribean: At World's End
3) Transformers
4) Die Hard 4.0
I must say this summer is really fantastic for movies as there are so many blockbusters coming up. The next 2 of my list are Harry Potter and The Simpsons.
Somehow, we have been revisiting Golden Village more often compared to Cathay. :-)
