Liuliu Night

Okay, the experience I had before the exclusive screening of Superman Returns just now kinda affected my mood a bit. Bear with me for a few minutes...

On Monday, I invited Moz to attend the screening with me and we confirmed everything yesterday because I only got the tix yesterday. So earlier yesterday afternoon (Wed), I told him that we can't bring in mobile phones because based on previous experiences, I know that this is the norm and everyone will be 'screened' and handbags checked. But he said he's bringing his notebook because he's going straight to the cinema after work. I checked the invite and what was mentioned on it was this:

Mobile Phones, PDAs and Recording Devices are strictly not allowed.
- All bags and jackets will be subject(ed?) to security checks.
- Admission is subject to compliances to the security measure stated.
- Proof of ticket does not guarantee admission.
- Twentieth Century Fox Film has final right to refuse entry.

So, we met outside the cinema and as I was queueing for the popcorn, I remembered, "Shit! I have my camera with me!" You know la, a blogger always brings a camera along. I left my mobile phone in the car but forgot about my camera. I didn't want to leave it in the hands of the organisers, so, I told Moz to wait for me, I ran went to the car park, kept the camera and rushed back to the cinema.

To cut the story short, Moz was denied entry into the cinema because of his notebook. We spoke to a pretty good looking lady but she said no notebooks allowed although we tried to reason with her that there wasn't any notice saying that no notebooks are allowed. She said that it was safe to leave it at their counter but we were NOT gonna leave any notebooks with anyone. Even I didn't wanna leave my camera with them, whatmore Moz with his notebook.

Blah blah blah liu liu liu sot sot sot chingchongching chong... I knew we were fighting a losing battle. I knew Moz was superdamnangry cheesed off, I was upset, there's nothing we could do. So, Moz said he's not gonna watch it and asked me to go ahead with it. I felt bad. I was in a dilemma. He insisted that I go ahead and I did, with a very heavy heart. He blogged about it very 'colourfully' here if you are interested... But Moz, I have to say this, Superman ain't sucky, yeah? The organisers, yes, but not Superman... I'm sorry it turned out that way although it's not my fault but still, I felt bad. Yes, no more previews on a weekday for you...

So, how's the movie? Agreed with Eyeris when he said about the tingling you feel up the spine when the opening credits rolled out along with the theme song (which of course, has been modified a bit to make it sound more sophisticated. Hey, this IS 2006, ok! The last Superman IV was like nearly 20 years back in 1987!) I think I heard some clap-clap during the opening credits. *LOL*

I'd have enjoyed it more if Moz was allowed entry. Because of what happened earlier, it sort of affected my mood. Nevertheless, it was an entertaining movie and a must-watch ALTHOUGH I have to admit, at times some corny moments did surface... *LOL* What do you expect?? It's Superman! And Brandon Routh, with a very pretty boy look, certainly to pengsan for, ladies... His Big Package wasn't clearly seen, if that's what you are wondering... :P

At first, I thought I'd do some DYKs about the movie (aka spoilers) which could be 'hidden' but then I thought, some people sure got itchy hands and go read it although they don't want to and then later on, blame me. So, no DYKs about Superman Returns! Except a teaser... There are two headlines prepared by the Daily Planet. Superman Is Dead and Superman Lives. Which one do you think will make it? Hehe...liuliu... Yes, I'll watch it again... Oh, and I'm quite sure there will certainly be more Superman movies to look forward to...

Before the movie started, there were a few interesting trailers and one that caught my attention is this movie, The Lake House, starring Sandra Bullock & Keanu Reeves! A must-watch for all the Romantics, aitelyu! (borrow once yeah, lil'missmay)

The other one is My Super Ex-Girlfriend, starring Uma Thurman & Luke Wilson, (the guy from Alex & Emma) a comedy and looks hilarious!

DYK that for the whole of today, I've been having this pain on my left ribs, at the side? I've also been coughing since yesterday and each time I cough, there's pain. Not sure if it's due to the way I slept last night but it sure hurt pretty bad at times :(
