I´ve been a very, very bad boy...

i´ve done something that i´m not proud of (alright, maybe im that little bit proud of it) and i feel ashamed of my actions (or at least i feel that i should be ashamed). It´s that bad...

So it was just an ordinary day out, i´m saying ordinary because it was raining, or rather, drizzling, which is quite common here, sometimes you just wish that it either rains, or it doesnt, but not something in between, it´s hard to make up your mind whether to stay in or out when it´s like that, you know.

Because it was raining, i thought i should go to the cinema, it´s been a while since i last saw a film in the big screen and i didnt exactly have company, so i was just kinda dating myself. I got myself a standard price ticket for EUR 5.75, opted to watch ´Wanted´ because the trailer was good, and it was actually pretty good. Angie Jolie being as stunning as always but gosh isnt she getting really thin? i feel like i can break her arms by just looking at it, so it isnt that convincing that she´s swinging machine guns effortlessly and kicking asses, but anyway. There were lotsa actions and the special effects entertaining, everyone was just flying and jumping around in slo-mo as though they were in a dream.

but i digress...

So i bought a standard price seat and guess what, i took the premiere seat! There were like 10 of us in the hall, a far cry from the movie goers in KL, and i was at liberty to choose any seats i like. And as everyone went for the Eur 9.50 seats, i thought: hey, you´re not leaving me behind! and so i did the same.

but that wasnt the crime.

After the show, upon coming out from the gents, i was kinda lingering at the cinema checking out new summer films. And then i saw some people coming into the foyer and headed to one of the cineplexes. So out of curiosity i followed them in. And then it just happened. I sat down. On the premiere seat again. Without a ticket. If i told you the whole act wasnt premeditated, would you believe me? probably not.

It was all very nonchalant on my part. I didnt feel as though im doing anything wrong, it just felt so right! Seating there, minding my own business, as if i have every right to be there. And the brilliant part is, i didnt even know what film that i would be watching. It´s like a box of chocolates, you dont know what you´re getting every single time.

So i checked out the trailers - Hancock, KungFuPanda, Mummy, MammaMia, DarkKnight...all pretty impressive and made me wanna watch it, perhaps except for Hancock and MammaMia if i had to pay for them. No chance in the world am i paying to watch Will Smith flying like a lunatic, and seriously, Meryl singing? I love the woman but that´s just a tad too much.

When i heard that famous catchy tune of SATC, i thought i´ve gone to heaven and back. I´ve been wanting to watch that film! Been following the series and been dying to know what happened between SJP and mr.big. Now i know! The film is as good as the TV show, and of course Samantha´s hilarious one-line punch never failed to put a smile on my face. She´s good, or rather, the writer is.

And after show #2. Because it´s still raining, because im all alone, because im homesick and hence felt like paying the price of a movie ticket in KL, because im all smug the first time i committed the act, because once isnt good enough and because im a bad, bad person, I did it again.

This time i kinda know what´s gonna be showing, the kids gave the game away. So Narnia it is. Well why not? i like C.S.Lewis and i dont have problems with talking animals, if anything, a fantasy film would make a fine ending to the day. If only the kids in the film were americans though.

So there you go, three films for 5.75! go ahead then, tell me im a loser, but hell, im feeling bloody good about myself. God will understand.

On another matter, i´m flying to Bristol tomorrow.
