I knew it would be bad, just not this bad. Went to see 300 with the university friends today since there was some reunion where we went for dinner and a movie after. The cinema was tightly packed with people even sitting at the front 2 rows, youngsters who were just mature to see a rated R film had their eyes glued to the screen. The movie featured 300 barbarians fighting in a war, killing lots of people, and ended up getting killed. Period. There were lots of unnecessary bloodshed, woman in skimpy clothes, mindless hacking/slashing - purely for fanservice. There's this scene that had an enemy monster with knives sticking out his hands going 'Rrrrrrr' and it reminded me of one of those creatures you see in PC games. I couldn't hold back and was giggling crazily until some teens turned their heads and gave me the 'look'. Opps, sorry; I didn't know they were so into the film. So, what happened to those movies that actually had a plot? Like Forest Gump, Catch me if you can, or even Troy on a similar note? Did our society fall so low with only demand of plotless mindless bloodshed? I guess i was one of those idiots who spent 9.50CAD on it fueling for more demand afterall - money better spent elsewhere (not to mention the things i can buy/see with 70RMB in hand back when I was in Shanghai). Anyways.... on a positive note, I finally joined gym at Sheraton today! A friendly good looking girl showed me around the facilities, and I signed up after learning that my company actually has a corporate rate. Did some weightlifting and cardio - hopefully it can help me focus more on my new role at work, and for myself to have more clarity into the path that I should pursue moving forward....

300... the movie.
