Everybody anticipated its release. Many flooded the cinemas on the first day of release. Then comments were split into two. And I went to watch it with Limin today.
Yes, I'm talking about the much-talked-about Spiderman3.
Those who watched it only had one of the two comments - fantastic to bits, or not worth the time. Well, I wouldn't say it was as fantastic as I expected, neither would I say it's a waste of my time. Though I'd want an afternoon nap.
I love happy endings. The best thing is always 'and they lived, happily ever after'. Fairytales, however untrue and unrealistic they are, do have influence on my thinking. Call me naive, but that's the way I'd want to see things - nice and pretty. So I'll be sad when people die in the stories. I'm sad when the great and the valiant dies. I'm also unhappy when the villain is killed. But the most heart-wrenching is to see a good person turns bad, really bad, and later realizes his mistakes and wants to redeem himself. And plots are never kind to these people, so they got killed in the end, when they finally become good.
What's more, the good guy who turned bad is a handsome guy. Handsome as in really good-looking. Have I told you I just love bad guys? They just have this element that locks my attention. Ooh and they just get more handsome when they turn from evil to good. And it is more heart-squeezing to see them die. Just like that. Just by shoving some razor-like blades into their chest. Whoa pain can. So was my heart:(
I must say I have to agree with some who said it was a waste of time, though it doesn't apply to the entire film. Well, with one movie already in the bag, there's only Pirates left. And if Spidey continues to have another sequel, I'm almost sure you won't find me queuing for the tickets.
I was a little disheartened by the comment. Not mere disappointment, it's more than that. I know it was not aimed at me as a whole, but I'm part of it and the comment surely included us. And I begin to wonder, what do you see us as? Do you know that mere comment of yours, however passing it was, was like a dagger which dug a portion of our flesh?
It hurts to hear that. I can choose to forget, and laugh it off, like what I did. But putting a fake show just to appease everybody doesn't work everytime. So one solid year of sharing and bonding and caring meant nothing? Come on. Was it not another technical fault this time? Who was to blame? No one, in fact. It's a wonder that after countless times of sillyness we went through, and also the strings of tears of joy or of sorrow we shed together, we still neglect each other. It's like telling me, you stink as a friend.
Frankly, how has it happened, if it really did happen? Tell me face to face, what I did which put you in a position to have such discouraging thinking like that. It really sends me into wonderland what I have done for the past twelve months or more, to have such a comment spoken of. I know the feeling, but was I the one causing the harm? Did anyone inflict such pain?
I tried to tell myself to not take it to heart when I heard that. Yes, pulling another comical face wasn't any challenge for me. But it set me thinking. Have I been a good friend?
What pleases a woman? What does F-R-I-E-N-D mean?
