Thoughts for today....

It is a gloomy and dreary saturday, not so cold according to the forecast but not sunny, that is for sure. Definitely not a day to be out and about. Was flicking through the channels and there was nothing interesting to watch. With hundreds of channels that we have, there is still nothing to watch! Well, actually there are movies I want to watch but over here, if it is rated R, it is a definite no no for the kids. Langsung takde penapisan, it being violence or nudity or language, so that is out of the question! So settled for a very very old movie, wayyyyy back in 1980.. Superman II! Since the new superman movie is coming out soon, maybe should get the kids acquainted with this classic movie and mommy also needs to refresh some memory, I was 6 when this movie came out. Gosh! It was THAT long ago... What amazes me is the technology that the west had way back then in the 80s, the special effects, the imagination, and even the script and the acting. And they have progressed in so many ways and has conquered the movie world. Compared to what Malaysia has now, it is sad to say that we have gone backwards in some ways. We had the P Ramlee's movies before and they were very entertaining and quite educational but now we rarely see good quality movies. Safe for a few great Malaysian movies such as Bunohan, some Yasmin Ahmad's movies and ....hhmmmm..what else? (Maybe there are a few more that I haven't seen), our movies are mostly about orang kaya rebut harta, rebut laki, dengki sana sini, mak2 datin rambut oren karat and tinggi macam bee hives, and lots and lots of love stories.. I mean, the west pun ada love stories too but they way they translate it into movies are way more interesting and less annoying. The screenplay is not the same all the time like most cerita melayu and the acting is of course, way much better. I know some might disagree with me but come on, you have to admit most Malaysian actors and actresses are selected based on their looks and not their skills. Don't get me wrong. I do watch some malay movies but as I mentioned before, so much improvement is needed. Okay, this is not a movie but this came to my mind as I am typing this. Adam dan Hawa.. Confessed that I was not going to watch it anymore but could't resist watching the last few episodes.. 😉. Anyway, the last episode where they had their first baby.. The baby shown was at least three months old!! Padahal baru je Ain tu bersalin. Siap boleh main cak cak with baby...did the director think that we, the watchers are stupid??? We can see that the baby is definitely not a day old. So tidak logic okay??? And there was one scene where they went for honeymoon, and Ain said something like this, "hmmm..it is so privacy here". Seriously??? Editor..tidur ke? And then, Adam said something and he said the word spoil and 'sEpoil'.. Memang la sEpoil muka hensem cakap macam tu...😫. Malay movies and dramas really really need to improve! Hehe..kutuk kutuk tapi tengok jugak kan? Ye la, kalau tak tengok, macam mana nak kutuk..actually nak komen bukan kutuk.. Anyway, nak tengok superman now...
