i think it's damn lebih how movies these days all begin with the word THE followed by a noun.
example:
the notebook
the lakehouse
the illusionist
the jacket
the secret window
the guardian
the good shepard
the fountain
the reaping
the guardian
the eye
and whatever lahhh
and you know sometimes, you try and tell what sort of movie it is just by interpreting it's title?
for example like...
the exorcist (see??? another "the-noun")
it says exorcist.
so you know it involves spirits and things and sorts like that..so you know it's a horror movie.
titanic.
it's a name of a ship, so you know it's about a ship. what goes on in that ship, who falls in love with who, who sleeps with who is all vague. but whatever. it's about a ship. so, it might be a thriller (maybe the ship turned out to be some military ship in disguise??) it might involve romance (which is what it's all about obviously). horror?hard to say..but chances are super duper low..
lord of the rings.
you know it involves lords. it involves rings. so i'd say prolly thriller. possibly horror as well, you know like some devil possessing the ring and taking over ppl and things like that.
but it irks me like hell when the title doesn't explain the theme of the movie!!! especially when they're really old movies or unheard of movies that you haven't seen a trailer or poster of it, that you just CAN'T tell what kind of movie it is!! and ppl like me who are damn bloody afraid of horror movies can't do anything about it!!!
for example..
'the notebook'.
what?
it's about a notebook.
ok.
so...what sort of notebook is it??
it's a possessed notebook?
or it's a possessing kinda notebook?
when i was in aussie and roaming the file sharing thinga majigie, i found this movie.
ok lah..so pardon the hulu person that i am, but i had never heard of it until i found it last year.
so i didn't bother watching it, because..i thought it was some horror movie. the title is just so vague, that it could be about ANYTHING!! ANYTHING AT ALL!!!!! thriller lah horror lah romance lahhhh..but i figured mostly horror.
which was why i didn't download it at all, until i asked my friend about it, and she told me that it was a damn touching movie and that i SHOULD watch it. also to add, that there's nothing to be afraid of.
-_-"
no kidding.
same goes with 'the jacket' and 'the lakehouse'
i mean, WHAT THE HELL RIGHT?!?!?
i thought the lakehouse was a movie about a family shifting in and finding dead ppl around or some shit like that.
who the hell knew it turned out to be a romance movie.
-_-"
and see??
the secret window.
you'd think it's some fantasy movie, with little children finding a secret window to their dreams (kinda like the story the secret garden) but nooooooooooo
it's about johnny depp and some horror shit. ( i wouldn't know. i didn't watch it. i DON'T watch horror movies)
the point is,
it doesn't SAY SO ANYWHERE THAT it's a horror movie in the title!!!!
what am i supposed to do?
and i already have this perception that all titles with the "the-noun' title format would be scary, that even when i scroll through the movie, it turns out looking scary.
see?
first impressions do count!
something like, amityville horror, dark water, ghostship, thirteen ghosts, SEEE??!!?!??! they alllll have some sort of clue that they are horror movies!!
but which part of "the eye" does it say that's it's horror?
and c'mon.
if the eye can be possessed...WHY NOT THE JACKET AND THE LAKEHOUSE AND THE NOTEBOOK AND THE GUARDIAN?? we have "the RING" what.
and the ring turned out to be a horror movie.
so how??
you watch the ring from the beginning thinking that it's about some sweet guy who works hard day and night just so he can buy a ring to pursue the one he loves who is very much in the arms of someone else, someone better and wealthier. then when you click play on the laptop/pc, suddenly you see this show about ppl watching tvs and so on so forth.
-_-"
it's fine if you've seen trailers and you know about it, but if you haven't!??!???!
DIE!
kesian ppl like me who get shitted out of their wits whilst watching horror flicks.
nvr have been one for scary movies.....
eekk..
---------------------------------
speaking about movies, TRANSFORMERS WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
the way they transformed...pwoar!!!
and pretty funny toooo!!
although...
i never could see why the hero and the love interest MUSTTT always find time to tell each other how they feel and how they appreciate one another at crucial moments!!
like, fire flying left right centre, could be killed at any bloody moment, damn kan cheong, damn exhillirating!!!!
then whole scene slows down and focuses on the guy and girl expressing their deeply burried emotions.
-_-"
the worst is when a guy is rushing out from a building where he's just planted a bomb.
so you see him running damn fast, then he tries and saves the girl and then while untying her rope-tied hands, they have time to kiss and meraba-raba.
WTH?!?!??!!
first i thought right. it's all good rushing, but you're wasting time doing the unnecessary??? ok lah, so fine, to some ppl it might be, but still!!
so sometimes the movies are damn kuah cheong(over/lebih) loh
and no worries.
none of the above are spoilers :P
just to note..
p: i've got something really important to tell you. but you must promise me you wouldn't get angry..ok?sw: yeah..ok..p: you sure or not..i've been meaning to tell you from last time..but now only i've decided i should tell you.sw: ok. tell lah.p: ............

ppl, you ALL should check this song out.
Plain White T's - Hey there, Delilah
it's like, my all time favourite song now.
it's deep, simple and nice.
especially when ppl like me can relate.
if you're in a long distance relationship or whatsoever, i recommend you download this song. it's like the song of your dreams.
the first time i heard it i cried.
and even when i listened somemore, i cried.
but no lah..lately i've been really emotional. i cried during transformers ok. so it's more of the hormones thing, so oh well.
AND LISTEN TO THE LYRICS!!
LISTEH TO THE LYRICS!!
THE LYRICS!!
THE LYRICS!!!!
and just in case you ppl don't like listening....
here are the lyrics
"Hey There Delilah"
Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blameHey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.
