Ok. So I did forget to mention. Happy belated birthday Chuan Liang!

The annual family movie today. "Just Follow Law". Little's changed in Jack Neo's films. Highlight a couple of issues close to the heart of the everyday Singaporean, add in liberal amounts of jokes, with a dash of melodramatic emotion, and voila! Easy-to-digest-consumer-friendly-money-spinning-run-of-the-mill movies! Nothing wrong with doing this of course, but its been some 10 movies now. 10 movies with the exact same formula, a formula that has been done ad nauseam. Surely its time to up the ante, and bring something new to the table? I'm done with being bored. Lets have more smashing movies shall we? Movies that touch the heart, that remind us of our humanity, that feed not just the brain, but also the soul. To have every movie be brilliant, that would be the day eh?

i heard the crickets at 10:15 pm
