So you all should have gotten the impression by now that I love to heap scorn on remakes and crappy new stuff. Well, I do make an effort to watch/read that crappy new stuff so I know what I'm talking about when I rant about 'em. I can't appreciate when people talk bad about Twilight but have never actually read a page or crack jokes (unless they're clever, in which case they may get a pass) about Dragonball: Evolution without watching it. Yeah, I can't demand that everyone spend their time doing that stuff but in a way I feel like it's akin to joking about or hating on, for example, Muslims but never actually having met or even seen one. Or even bothering to do any research about their differences.
And osmosis through popular media doesn't count, naturally. (- -_)
Any ways, back on topic: the other day I finally got to watch Full Metal Jacket [1987] in its entirety. Yeah, it's been on my list for a long time. Over a decade, in fact. But after years of small YouTube clips of famous scenes from the movie I found it on TV and got to see the whole thing. Scratch one haha.
I read this over about 3 times.. I'm still a little lost. Is the first paragraph relevant to the last one?
ReplyDeleteyeah, full metal jacket is hardly crappy new stuff, maggot! ;)
ReplyDeleteI've read all of Twilight so I can say with authority that I HATE MEYER FOR MAKING BELLA MARRY A 100-YEAR-OLD CREEP.
ReplyDeleteAbout your comment on -E-, yes, it all has to do with Singlish. :D
It's hard to hate what you haven't experienced for yourself.
ReplyDeleteSaw it on TV? Was it uncencered?
ReplyDeletehaha! glad I read the twilight saga and watched dragon ball =))
ReplyDeletere your comment: yeah! I finished the breaking bad series. I think the next season will be on summer 2012. what's your guess? I heard it's the final season. hmmm..I think Walter will die..u think? hehe
can't say that i have seen full metal jacket and not planning to.
ReplyDeleteFull Metal Jacket is good. I like it more as I get older.
ReplyDelete@D4: Hahaha apologies for the inconvenience. Initially it was just a single line off-hand comment about watching the good old movies rather than being suckered into the new crap but it ended up expanding into a mini-rant.
ReplyDeleteI have watched the first Twilight movie, and have read all the books. All the way through. My sister, a huge Twifan, has deemed that I am allowed to badmouth it, because of this fact. There are a lot of movies I want to watch but I just don't have the time/aattention span anymore.
