Movie Reviews - Ranting

Everything is so quick nowadays huh? So fast, "Here he is, there he's now and woah, off he went. Did you get time to see that?" and what about the movie reviews nowadays huh? Okay reviewing movies have always been a conversation starter for the world before the online coup detat. Now you ask people how a movie was and all you get is "Nice."

Back in the day at least you ask people about a movie and they'd be ready out with their opinions, recommendations or dismissals. They'd recite the plot to you like they'd written it themselves.

Now, I go up to this random dude and ask him about a movie. because apparently I'm going up to random people and asking them about their opinions on movies:

"How was 'Cannibal Holocaust'?"
"Animal violence yes, hmm. Didn't you read the reviews? There was a big fuss."
"What fuss?"
"Ooh, you really didn't read the reviews? How should I put it, I don't really remember."
"Wasn't it really a film about how a group of documentary filmmakers were stupid enough to put their lives in danger despite their conclusive research?"
"They were documentary filmmakers?! God, I couldn't see past the tortoise."
"So how was the movie?"
"Nice."

Not to worry though, we've got 'wikipedia links'.

When's the last time you saw that poster and wondered what that movie's all about.

"Shrewd, deception, and a load of crap."
"YAY! MY FAVORITE!"

The Window Seat

Been in an Airplane before? Yeah, I sure do love those seats by the window, or what the airline thinks is a window. I love them.

Especially when I've gotta use the bathroom during travel, how about that situation huh?
You look to your side and you've got this look that says "I'm so sorry, I don't know what I was thinking. Would you please?"
Now considering if the people to your side actually obliged to move, they do it two different ways and either way, you're gonna end up apologizing to them like you actually owe them a kidney for what they're just doing.

Number 1: They step out into the isle for you to leave (with the gracious sigh of hesitation of course) and you step out smiling like an idiot, followed by 400 'sorry's.

Number 2: The move back into their seats and you're left wriggling your way through that path they have oh so graciously offered you, and it's more 'sorry's this time because you know you're gonna step on some feet.

About 600 'sorry's later, you're finally in the bathroom, it takes you two seconds, you come back out, back to your seat and what do you know,

It's time for those 'sorry's and 'pardon's again!
That's why it's always so hard, getting anything done on airplanes. This is because to the airline people you're nothing but cargo.
"Sir don't you think the seats and the bathrooms and everything is a little too small?"
"No! We're shippin' 'em out, might as well put them in a box"

You know you can actually see a return address under the tail?

I'm just kidding. But they're having a laugh huh? 

Why God?! Why did FRIENDS have to end?!

This sitcom made all the change in my life. When I was sad, this show would cheer me up that i forget all about what I was sad about. FRIENDS really made a turnover in my boring, predictable life. Suggested by my Dad of course, this show wasn't quite to my liking when I first heard of it. Later I sat one day to watch a complete episode, and an hour later, i found myself sitting there with a bag of chips on one hand and a can of Mountain Dew on the other.

I could never forget the unpredictable ways in which this show brought out its humor. Even in the saddest of moments, there is always one tiny little limerick that sets everyone laughing out loud.

This show did its huge part in making me laugh, me being a person who didn't watch sitcoms (then). The show... was so captivative, spellbinding and extremely hilarious. I could've never thought of a better sitcom to watch everyday than FRIENDS.

Following the story and the six friends' wacky lives and blunders, and how they faced their fears and overcame them, really inspired me to behave the same way, you know, about how I deal with the problems I have in my life and all that.

But soon, I reached out to the DVD box of the tenth season, and shocked to see that I had just seen the last DVD. It was over... no more FRIENDS. Shaken, I tried to find something that could replace this wonderful show. But alas, nothing could compare... nothing could come even a wee bit close.

Will there be a show like this...? Ever? I wish there would be, with the same cast, each who were Perfect with a capital 'P' for their roles... I'm still here, waiting...
