I told Peter that I finally found an answer to the the question "Why is NY so superb?"

No, its not Central Park. Nope, not Times Sq or Broadway or Fifth Avenue either. Not shopping, not the food. I'd say I fuckin love New York because it means I'll never have to watch another Hollywood blockbuster hit ever again. At least not the ones I don't really wanna watch.

You girls know how it is in KL. Come Friday night, what do we do? Hitting the clubs seem to be the overrated choice and lepak-ing at one of the endless mamak shops KL has to offer is okay but I already do that on weeknights. So most people end up going to the movies. I sometimes cannot argue that going to the movies is like having 'comfort food'.

But once you get there, the ticket queues are long as hell....and the biggest bummer - all they have to offer are big-budgeted Hollywood flicks. You know what I'm talkin about. Car racing, shooting, explosion, damsel-in-distress being saved by her hero of the day etc...maybe my imagination is a little limited when it comes to that but feel free to apply yours. Tee hee.

I don't know about everyone else but movies to me are not just suppose to be entertaining but they're also brainfood. So are good books. I think we need them to fuel our brain; to stop it from rotting and slipping into auto-pilot, which would eventually lead us to not having a life well-lived. Hee. So, my major complain is that, how the heck am I suppose to feed my brain if the only thing I'm watching consists of out-of-this-world tales which are totally irrelevant to my life? Or, any other normal person's life for that matter?

Anyway, the foreign movie Princesas prompted the birth of this entry. I know it is not gonna be available in cinemas in Malaysia (no way jose!) and I doubt its gonna be possible to get it from your local pirated DVD supplier either. But who knows. Maybe you're really brilliant? I highly recommed it.
