I'm Just Addicted to That Silver Screen

I watched There Will be Blood the other day, and I was kinda dissapointed because the movie was sooo dark... and depressing. And boring. Freaking boring I might say. Blerghh. Make me think twice to watch No Country for Old Men that I already downloaded. The only reason that I watched it because it was Oscar nominated. Fuck Oscar. Nowadays they cherish dark and depressing movies too much. I want the Dark Knight on the list God dammit!

Hmm.. Made me thing, why don't I list down the top 100 movies in IMDB list that I already watched? Here goes nothing....

31 movies counted. Hmm not that much. I thought I've watched 50 or something. Ah senang cite movies yg aku tak tgk lagi tuh suma aku nak tgk lahh. Except for the depressing movies. But how am I gonna know the movie is depressing, unless I watch it? Okay, except for known depressing movies. Yg lain, nasib laa, I always can curse later.

Sadly I haven't watch Pan's Labyrinth, yet. They said it was good, as good as Beowulf. Wait. Beowulf is not good at all, so why am I comparing them again? Hmm..Okay forget about that.

Talking about movies, I remembered this one time, I read Maxim back in UTP years. There was this article suggesting the parents to be careful when they purchase any CD movies, because it might turn out to be a porn movie with almost similar title. For example, the porn edition for Saving Private Ryan is Shaving Ryan's Private. It's a gay porn. Blerghh. They even got this funny tagline, "A group of man goes to the battlefield to find out their mision... is a man." Wahaha. Funny. Or maybe you should be careful when picking up Clockwork Orange or it might turn out to be Clockwork Orgy. Wahaha.

Okay folks. Maybe I will update on the other 150 movies of the IMDB list. Or maybe I will not.
