@: Sunway Pyramid & Pop Dem Corn: Superhero Movie

Note: I'll be leaving for Singapore on Tuesday, until Sunday next week. Contact me if you'd like anything I could get for you (tax free!)

I planned a small gathering for a group of friends from the Sleeping Forest (only the best O2Jam guild everrrrrrokaythisisstarttingtomaketheblogsoundverylala.) just to hang out and to get those who attended to pay up for the shirts (which I proudly designed. Oho.)

It was quite unexpected to only have 4 (including me) to turn up, but seriously; better have a few confirming their attendance than a heapload wanting to who end up fong-ing their fei kei.

Mel Gibson also fong fei kei.


Pyramid was still quite empty at 11 a.m. My guess is as good as anyone's; most teenagers were still hibernating at that period and would only roam after noon (Hey, I'm one of them. If it wasn't for the gathering, I'd still be reluctant to be up. Go me!). No queues for movies, no queues for lunch, no queues for Baskin Robbins! (today 31st ma.) Taking the chance, we got ourselves tickets for the latest from the Scary Movie people.

See, even got ourselves back row seats.


So off we went to waste our time before the movie started (we SFians are VERY bad in doing this when the right people aren't around. But we managed anyways) by:

Arcade-ing.

Panic Park. Peter lost; 2-3!


Meeting my biggest customer (he ordered 5 freakin' shirts and got 3 others to buy the shirts).


And I had the nerve not to take a photo of him then. :( Stole this from him.


Photo snapping.

Gahhhhhhhhhh! Legs and hands 'siu jie' combo + Face of 'high'


And meeting Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash. Somehow amazed me how they actually got Ang Mos to dress up instead of locals (which would be pretty bizarre. Peter's wish of seeing the Flash holding teh tarik never came true.


Batman is SUCH a poser.


So, the movie.

I guess it's safe to count 'Catwoman' and 'Batman & Robin' in.


I wasn't really looking forward to it, since Epic Movie was really a bore and sucky, but Peter and Nicole wanted to, so falala.

To be honest, it wasn't bad. Not 'not bad at all' nor did it 'suck our lives out dry', it was a movie that really entertained me for as long as it screened even if it was lame. Unlike some other flick which was lame for wrong reasons :p

It parodied, as well as pick on stuff from Windows Vista to Stephen Hawkings (whom I sadly admit, was 'acted' quite well); from Facebook to the Pope, which I guess mostly only the younger audience would find funny and laugh at.

Or stare at. Presenting the Dynamic Duo.


Not forgetting their crude humour.

The very scene before urolagnia maniacs drool. Google it up (:

Oh, and the Tom Cruise look-a-like parody was just awesome. He looked like, sounded like, laughed like crapped JUST like the man himself!

This is NOT Tom Cruise. Disgustingly similiar for sole entertainment.


It's a pity the movie was butchered to a U movie in Malaysia (U's for 'Umum', which means general; suitable for all ages). Where the censorship board allows the word 'b!tch' and censors the word 'crotch', which was allowed in trailers. Go figure!

Not-so-b!tchy Sara Paxton stares at Dragonfly's cro*katuuuut*.


And here's something to spoil if you're not going to watch the movie or don't give a crap about spoilers (: Fart jokes, ah.


She should be a superhero too: Femme Fart-ale


If you liked the previous spoof movies, go ahead and watch this. If not, it's either you're taking the reviews too seriously or you have a special sense of humour. It's the movie to waste your time learning nothing much, but it's somehow worth it in a ridiculous way. So yes, I did enjoy myself watching a movie a majority would find its funnies and presentation lame. Malaysians better not be one of them:






This because.

Verdict: C+

Pop Dem Corn: The Forbidden Kingdom

Straight to the point, I like. Intros aside for the eventual (I bloody hope not), I JUST had to rant on the inferior among blockbusters this May (yes, I have NOT watched Ironman; nor Indiana Jones.), which I was somehow 'forced' to watch with my cousin before she leaves back to the land down under. (Sweeney Todd wouldn't want to work![insert sad emoticon here.])


Deppy got kickety ='(


And I want 153 minutes of my life back. Really. The movie had a plot-wait, correction. I don't think it even HAD a plot in the first place.

Picture with me if you may. Spoilers ahead as well, but really, I'm merely convincing you NOT to watch this creation of horrid.

Boy visits geezer, boy falls with staff into the land of Ching-Chong-Chiang, boy travels with a drunkard, some monk and a girl we all know he's going to fall so mad in love with sooner or later, boy learns kungfu, villain kills girl, boy vengeances girl, boy comes back from land of Ching-Chong-Chiang, boy meets dead girl now alive in his world.

Sometimes, everything happens so fast we...wait. My cousin was asleep after 12 minutes of the movie.

.

...SOMETIMES, everything happens so fast I had no idea what was happening, and just stared at tipsy Jackie trying to make me laugh. It's either he tried too hard, or he wasn't trying at all. But hey, it's Jackie!

They put mop on head!


And they use Sun Wukong's staff as the main attraction of the whole movie. The hero wants it, the baddies want it, and my oh my, the ladies want it too. Now, is it me, or does everything sound...a little too PHALLIC? (I may be the dirty one, but deep down inside, I'm sure you had that in mind as well! :( Pervs.) Must have been called 'The Forbidden Condom' during the making.

Explains why Collin Chou has thick eyelashes and mascara a lot.


The movie isn't ALL that bad though. There's that Jackie/Jet battle and the girls (with their b!tchfights) aren't terribly of shame in their acting and charm.

I liek girlz wif whipz.


Oh, and they have really witty sayings and names for almost everything they can think of. One still tainting my head would be the 'Gate of No Gate'.







Colgate ah?


Verdict: D+

Why?

High, I am.
