Listen now and listen clear...

My sister and I managed to catch Prince Caspian courtesy of Nuffnang at Parco Bugis Junction earlier today. The movie did live up to expectations I guess with the excellent portrayal Prince Caspian and the additional characters brought to the big screen from the third book. As it is after all a print to screen, my recommendation is to at least read the book (or the entire series if you do have the time or the mental capacity to do so, bearing in mind it is a children's series after all) before catching it in cinemas. The experience was on the whole enjoyable and despite the discomforts of walking more than 15 steps to get to a washroom, it definitely felt good to be outdoors again. 

I'd just to take a little time to deviate from the pleasantries here and make a small comment on children (screechy loud ones) in cinemas. It is only simple basic courtesy to take the child out of the cinema should he or she start making noise. Next, if one is late for any movie screening, do note too that it is only polite to move as fast as possible through aisle and through the seats to get to yours. A bobbing shadow moving violently and slowly right smack in front of you does not help with the blood pressure. There... angst all down in a short and sweet manner...

Perhaps the last general comment I shall log in tonight will be about human behaviour in general. It is only human nature to spectate. Be it a fall at a bus stop, a fight in the school cafeteria, an ugly dispute between neighbours in private estates or a bloody civil war in some godforsaken country, the observation remains the same, a large number would rather busy themselves doing nothing. You, my friend, are not alone. I have been on both the giving and receiving end and I agree life's a bitch.

"The equations are simple pal. For every individual that feels for you when you are down, there are five people out there who simply don't give a shit and twenty more whose hearts leap for joy at the miserable state you're in. Face it. The numbers don't lie."
