The Nature of The Ghost

Yesterday, after being pretty antisocial for almost two weeks (blame it on mid terms, assignments and PMS), I finally went out with other people other than KayKay! I'm pretty impressed with myself.

So I dragged KayKay with me off to Cineleisure to watch Disney's A Christmas Carol with Ca-Ren, who we just met on that day itself, and KhaiSim, who I haven't seen in ages. KayKay shy, didn't talk much. Haha! I have almost never seen that side of her before.

KayKay picked KhaiSim and I up after class, and off we went to the Curve. Along the way, I guess the heat plus the rocking motion of the car plus her utter lack of sleep, KhaiSim fell asleep and looked like the Japanese ghost in Ringu. You know... With the hair covering the face and the head nodding up and down like a psycho ranger. Haha! Damn funny. I wanted to take a picture of her, but then she woke up.

Damn.

But I was thinking, imagine if it was at night and she tumpang-ed our car and we forgot that she was there, then if we suddenly turn behind to look at the passenger seat and saw her sitting there looking like she's a ghost or something, it would scare the frickin' crap out of us!! Probably get into another accident.

Mahahahaha okay not funny. The accident bit. But the rest is funny, so laugh!

Anyway, we got to the Curve in plenty of time, so we decided to walk-walk first before Ca-Ren came. Actually, KayKay and I went walking about, KhaiSim just followed us around. Poor thing. She looked pretty much bored out of her mind. Until we got to Ikea, that is! I swear, that girl lives to eat.

So then we had a lot of food blablabla, finally got to the movie like, two minutes before it started.

As you can see, the graphics are very detailed.

We watched it in 3D, which was a very good call, even though it was slightly more expensive. Rm17, but so much more worth it than the crap GSC MidValley tried to pass off as 3D. The next time I wanna watch something in 3D, I'm heading off to Cineliesure.

A pretty dark and twisted tale for Disney to dish out, but since they were staying close to Dicken's original story, I guess that's how it would pan out. I don't think it would be wise to let kids watch this movie without parental supervision though, because it's actually very very morbid. It's a morbid cartoon! Haha. It disguises itself up with animations and big googly eyes (hello, Tiny Tim) but it is, at it's core, a very adult movie which deals with cruelty, repentance and death.

All the darkness, however, is made up for with the warm, fuzzy feelings at the end of the movie. I'm pretty sure everyone already knows how this story plays out, what with it being made into soooo many versions, the dumbest being Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. God!

Anyway. There's this last part of the movie that's pretty funny, but no one laughed! I hate that. Bah! Scrooge said something (I'm not gonna say what lah, go watch it yourself) and I guess by that time everyone's heads were already spinning from all the 3D induced headaches that they weren't really paying attention to the movie anymore and they totally missed the punch-line! So there I was, laughing on my own. The rest of the people only joined in three seconds later.

Maybe they were laughing at me lah.
