It's either i'm still exhausted from the recent month's exercise or i'm just simply trying to enjoy other things... one thing that really did help me out during my recent Dubai escapade was wasting time away lying in my bed watching freshly downloaded torent stuff and a few cd's that i brought along with me and a few more that i bought there...
of the almost month's stay that i was there, i treated myself to loads of FPJ (Lahat ng 8 in 1 ko pinamigay ko sa takot na mahulihan ako ng Pirated DVD's) and Stephen Chow stuff, a few Jackie Chan, Will Ferrel and Simon Pegg flicks, some Marvel movies and a healthy dose of Asian - mostly Korean - stuff... i also had with me some artsy films (naiwan ko pala sa Hotel yung East Is east DVD ko), sports oriented and a few one's with musical reference (Matagal ko rin di napanuod ang "The Legend Of 1900")...
for the past few days, i've been also wasting the time away lying comfortably on a sofa watching video downloads... last thursday with Dennis and Rene, we watched 2 films... one was Rush Hour 3 which we had a hell of a time laughing at Detective Carter's "Mouthy" antics... the other one was a Korean movie which i recently had my hand on called "Oldboy"... i'm not really into reviewing stuff so i won't be writing anything about this one... although i would suggest that anyone of you who wishes to watch something of excellence should get you hands on this Movie... 'nuff said...
last saturday, i opted not to practice... and inspired by what Rene suggested to me with reagrds to Soft Pillow Kisses, i suggested to my candyaudioline band mates that there won't be any practice sessions for the meantine unless we could come up with new songs to waste the time away... so i texted my Movie watching buddies but only dennis was available and we were able to watch 3 movies... it was supposed to be 4 but we got a bit distracted during Jackie Chan's "Battle Creek Brawl" becuase i let Dennis listen to some upcoming tracks from a future Fleeting Joys release... We really had our jaws and head aching, laughing our faces off while Watching "How To Lose Friends And Alienate People" - a Simon Pegg Starrer and Mike Myer's "Love Guru"... "How To Lose Friends And Alienate People" is just simply genius!!! i really find Brits more "effortlessly" funny than Americans... the storyline is a bit cliche' though, but still it's one movie that'll i'll be bragging about for quite a long time and also, gigil na gigil kami ni Dennis kay Megan Fox... Love Guru is typical Myer's humour although i found those acronyms "wickedly smart and funny"... the last movie we watched was "Joy Division", it's a documentary about the band Joy Division with commentaries from the three surviving members and some of the people present during JD's Inception, Ascension and Demise... this documentary, free of the excess and glamour of "24 Hour Party People" and more closer to reality compared to "Closer" made me realise that Ian Curtis was really a far bigger Icon than how most of us see him... how i wish there is someone like a Tony Wilson here in our country...
Oh well... that's that for the mean time...
by the way, the last movie i watched before going online an hour ago was "Underdog" and while posting this entry i spent my some time browsing thru some freshly downloaded stuff the most note wote worthy of which are "Kekko Kamen Royale" which features Maria Ozawa - mind you, this one's a bit conservative and "Lolita" with Jeremy Irons... i already had this one before but it got lost after i had my PC fixed...
i'll leave you with a quote from Dennis of Candyaudioline... he noticed, while watching "Joy Division", how soaked in sweat Ian Curtis was during the "So It Goes" TV appearance of Joy Division...
