Flags Of Our Fathers...

...was a pretty good movie IMO.

It's got the distinct Clint Eastwood style on it (e.g. Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby etc).

I liked it a lot actually.

Yet, I left the cinema realising that perhaps I belonged to a small minority of the audience who actually enjoyed the film.

While I suppose it is subjective, I have the impression that the majority of the audience in the theatre that day were too shallow to comprehend the sort of ideas that Flags Of Our Fathers wishes to put forth.

Which is really sad.

The row of people in front of me had this bunch of teenagers who were complaining the film was boring.

Well what were they expecting? Another Saving Private Ryan?

And while I was leaving the theatre, some bunch of people behind me were saying:

"I don't careeee where's Iggy!"

For your info, Iggy is actually Ralph "Iggy" Ignatowski, one of the characters portrayed in the film.

I'm not going to spoil it for you, so just watch and find out.

Anyway, it's horrible how stupid Singaporeans are these days.

I'm not trying to be an elitist or anything. Not like I attended school at Stanford or Cambridge or Harvard.

I'm sure as I speak, someone is out there blogging about how god awful boring Flags Of Our Fathers is.

Pfft.

Well last night I spent about 2 hours or so with Calvin and Emma at the Roomful Of Blues.

And my shirt smells of nicotine now. Doh.

But I love the atmosphere of the pub. It has this really erm, 'family gathering' sort of feeling to it.

Everybody knows one another and stuff. Really cool.

I met this Filipino guy in the pub who was playing 70s acoustic folk songs.

And afterwards he jammed the blues with these two other men.

It was really good actually. I wished I could stay longer to jam with him too.

But darn, my mum was nagging and stuff.

Haha, and the Filipino guy (his name is Gilbert B.) was saying how we should drink more. (Alcohol of course, duh.)

Supposedly drink more, and the songs sound better.

Haha, damn, too bad I didn't drink though.

I was afraid my mum would suspect I was out drinking and smoking.

-.-

Well anyway, I can't wait for next week! Well sort of. Heh.

The results for OverDrive 2006 will be released tomorrow.

I'm going to jam with David and co. (FourEncouting) on Tuesday.

The results of the PAE will be posted on Thursday.

Then there's the TK Band's concert on Friday.

Well at least there's something to look forward to next week. Hah.
