The Dark Knight

I was never a fan of Batman. Come to think of it, i am never really a fan of heroes on the whole since they can be really typical and idealistic. "Spiderman" is about the only superhero movie that i bother spending money on to watch. Oh and "Batman and Robin" which i conveniently had the cheapo, quite bad quality VCD and i also watched it for Poison Ivy. So anyway, fortunately, against my desires this time, i was persuaded to watch the Dark Knight since everyone has been making such a fuss about it and i am seriously glad that i watched it. Those who haven't seriously don't know what they are missing.

"The Dark Knight" basically redefined the term "hero" like never before. Now a "hero" is no longer someone who does stuff like "Oh, i sense someone's in danger, let me change into my redundant costume and attempt to save the person asap and then hurry disappear so i can remain anonymous wooooo" *rolls eyes* Now "hero" stands for whatever the people need him or her to be, even if sometimes it means that he has to be the bad guy instead. Seriously, the plot is really well woven and very intricately done. It is about one of the most meaningful movie i've ever seen. The action is mediocre but the plot and themes more than made it for it. It's definitely award winning but yet not your typical award winning kinda movie which can be really monotonous and climax-less and makes watching painful until after the movie and you think reeeeaaaallly hard about it and get the very abstract message and go woooo. And for once, evil actually won in its own way and then there was the twist which turned around the victory and reduced the damage. Haha ok i totally sound like a movie critique but bottomline is that it's well worth the money and now the Dark Knight is on par with my favourite movie of all time LOTR. Oh and needless to say, Heath Ledger is da bomb. Haha yes Chrystal, stop gloating, i shall admit you have good taste, he really is a damn good actor. What a waste he is dead though, so we cant expect anymore movies from him. Well guess its true, what they say, about how good things never last. He seriously ought to be the first dead person to receive an Oscar man.

Although seriously they shouldn't have changed Katie Holmes to someone i think they think looks like her but in a much uglier n older way. No wonder she died in the movie leh, shit that was mean.

Oh and i like it that Batman has no superpowers. It makes him very human and not only relatable but also possibly prone to all the flaws of human, which is the way a true hero should be.

So my wish finally came true and i finally got to club last Wed. It was quite a disappointment though, due to the presence of certain groups of people there who took up damn alot of space on the dancefloor dancing in big circles and putting their arms around each other with their elbows frantically jutting out and poking everyone near them. How "considerate". And sadly, Arena had some event so we couldn't go there and sponge on the free drinks but Lunar was available though with Ladies' Night and 3 free lycee martini. At first i was totally thinking that 3 lycee martini is totally stingy and pointless since i always go to Arena to drink at least 9 lycee martinis to feel high enough. But ohhhh i was WRONG. The lycee martini in Lunar is damn strong la, like i drank 6 and it was already taking me quite alot of concentration to walk in a straight line. I mean, ya fine, the club's like quite sleazy with like pole dancers and framed huge pictures of naked men and women on the ceiling, but the lycee martini is worth it. Just hurry drink and go out haha. So anw the next day i had a really bad sore throat cos the martini was simply too strong, then again i was shouting and singing at the top of my lungs in the club haha.

One more week to the start of school, sigh, why does time have to pass by so fast.

And i realise i seriously dont understand many things in life and currently, at this stage, i seriously cant be bothered and am not interested. I hope this is what they say it is and it'll pass cos if it doesnt i really dont know what to do. Actually in a way i kinda noe what would happen but i just dont know if i can live with it. And its so true that change is inevitable.

Out,
Jig Jac
