Dance like a Dervish

Today, instead of finishing my part for our group Filipino paper, I did some walking down memory lane. Woohooo. Not the looking back to my past thing but watching 2 movies that I've seen too many times and rekindling my Hanson fanaticism.

Do you have that feeling when you pass by the movie channels when you are channel surfing that there is or will be a good movie on anytime? I do, too often I think. Earlier this morning I stopped by Star Movies (haha parang lugar) and there, the opening sequence rolled and it was "John Tucker Must Die". Haha. It is not really my uber favorite movie but I like it for many small reasons. I especially like the scenes between the 'other Tucker' and the lead girl. :) I like it. Just cause. Maybe because I want a guy like that. AHAHAHAHAHA Dorky and awkward but confident and knows how to make a girl feel giddy inside at the same time. =)) Woooooooooeeeeeeee

:D And did I mention he's hott?


The other movie I watched again is "Meet Joe Black". I do not know what to write about it at the moment. I just love many things about it. If you want to know, and if you have watched the movie already, let's watch it together and I'll tell you everything I like about it and the insights I get throughout the movie. I especially like this because it makes me think about life. Hahhaha. Sometimes while I watch this movie, I feel like I have the answers to the existential questions that haunt me. But as soon as the movie ends, I forget about them. I don't know but I know, you know...hahaha...anyway, Joe Black puts it better:

So you understand the idea. Congratulations, (Bill). Now multiply that by infinity, take that to the depth of forever, and you still will barely have a glimpse of what I'm talking about.


If you have not seen the movie, I say you should.

With the rekindling my Hanson fanaticism part...I downloaded their latest album through torrent. OH NO! I really don't want to do it because I am meaning to buy the original one or I was hoping that someone will give it to me as a gift *ahem* but I couldn't wait anymore. I have the original copy of their previous album. I like having original CDs of my favorite artists because (1) I am helping them continue their music by paying them and patronizing their hard work (even though I still think that CDs are overly priced considering many things) and (2) When I have the original copies of artists' albums, I feel like I am experiencing their music as a whole. While I listen to the music, I read the labels, lyrics and dedications and I also look at the artwork for a long time. Hahaha That's me.


Well, I think I have to continue our Fil paper. Ngar

There were some movies that I saw when I was still a wee tyke so I pretty much don’t remember how I liked it, maybe I did but would I still have liked it if I watched it today? Huwaw, rhetoricalities.

I haven’t watched really good ones there…yet. I plan to in the near future. At least I’ve watched Titanic. =D

----------------------------------------------------------

1. Name a movie that you have seen more than 10 times.

Now really, 10 times, that’s a lot!!
I’ve only seen “A Walk to Remember” 6 times, yeah hopeless, I know.
I make sure I see movies at least twice and if I really like it, thrice and if I really really like it I’d buy a copy, VCDs, DVDs etc.

2. Name a movie that you’ve seen multiple times in the theater.

“The Chronicles of Narnia” , my crazy sister and I watched it in different cinemas in fact.
“Constantine”, I watched it once and then went back the next week and watched it two times again.
“Million Dollar Baby”

3. Name an actor that would make you more inclined to see a movie.

Johnny Depp, Tom Hanks, Leonardo di Caprio, Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Mark Wahlberg, Mark Rufallo, Bruce Willis, Matt Damon.

4. Name an actor that would make you less likely to see a movie.

Local action stars. Bleh.

5. Name a movie that you can and do quote from.

Hhhmm. Can’t think of any really. Gosh, my brain’s all dried up.

6. Name a movie musical that you know all of the lyrics to all of the songs.

“High School Musical”. Yeah baby. *sarcasm*

7. Name a movie that you have been known to sing along with.

If you mean soundtracks…”10 Things I Hate About You”, “A Walk to Remember”, “13 Going on 30”
8. Name a movie that you would recommend everyone see.

This one’s hard. Leo D. movies. “Blood Diamond”, “The Departed”. I’m sure I can think of others. SHeesh I can feel my brain evaporating.

9. Name a movie that you own.

TOO MANY TO MENTION.

10. Name an actor that launched his/her entertainment career in another medium but who has surprised you with his/her acting chops.

UHHHH. *drooling*

16. Popcorn?

If my wallet permits it.

17. How often do go to the movies (as opposed to renting them or watching them at home)?

I go to the theater for movies that are better watched in the theater. Duh. You know, ones with really great special effects and sound effects like action/adventure movies. I usually don’t watch dramas in the theater, they are better watched at home while lying on the couch, crying my heart out…you get the idea.

18. What’s the last movie you saw in the theater?

“Spiderman 3”. Obviously, I haven’t been near a movie theater.
19. What’s your favorite/preferred genre of movie?

20. What’s the first movie you remember seeing in the theater?

“Aladdin”, I was 2 years old, *getting nostalgic*, I can still remember that day, we brought ice cream after. And then when we got home there was a black-out so we had to eat the ice cream right away cause we can’t use the freezer. =D

21. What movie do you wish you had never seen?

Nothing really.

22. What is the weirdest movie you enjoyed?

“Twelve Monkeys”. This one’s nice. =D

23. What is the scariest movie you’ve seen?

I dunno, all scary movies scare me.

24. What is the funniest movie you’ve seen?

“Napoleon Dynamite” This movie’s memorable for me too, we watched it on HBO while in bed cause I’m sick and I still don’t know that I have dengue. I feel awfully sick but I got to laugh my heart out.
“The Hot Chick” was really funny too. A lot of movies are funny for me. I’m really a bad critic cause I like things too much.
