Weird
Before I start on my horrendously big pile of homework, I finally had a relaxing day yesterday.
Sports day. A bit disappointing that Romanis came in last, and I felt kinda bad for Debbie who was trying to make everyone cheer along with the house councilors, poor them. The crowd was quite dead, but then again it was a bloody humid day (just like every other day anyway) so cheering wasn’t exactly what we were totally excited to do.
Afterwards we finally had a class outing, half of us watched Street Kings (The guys didn’t know what it was about. “It’s a manly show!” was their reason for watching) and the other half watched The Forbidden Kingdom. I really wanted to watch Funny Games though.
Street Kings. Um…
It looked really appealing at first because I saw Hugh Laurie’s face plastered on the 10 feet tall poster. Alas, he only appeared for a total of maybe 15-20 minutes in the movie.
I just thought the whole movie plot was… weird. It was exactly like the movie Shattered. Strange mysterious things happen at first, then as the movie progresses, something fishy will happen and it turns out that the protagonist is being backstabbed by everyone who was helping him/her. Last 10-20 minutes – Climax, bad guys reveal their plan to sabotage the protagonist. Just like that.
Now the last part was the weirdest. That’s what happens when a good actor like Forest Whitaker delivers cheesy lines like, “To me you’re family” and “The money doesn’t belong to me, it belongs to us!” I dunno, I was just having a super weirded-out moment. I know that he was just trying to bribe the Keanu Reeves dude into not killing him but… Argh it was just really weird, I don’t know how to explain it.
And of course Keanu Reeves killed everyone and he didn’t die.
DROWNING IN HOMEWORK!!!!!
