**Lots of spoilers ahead !!**
Finally caught "Closer" at Cineleisure today ( My sincerest apologies to S ) .
And my verdict ?
FANTASTIC !!!!!
I loved how the plot manages to weave itself so seamlessly between the present and the not-too-long-ago past , and the dialogues are straightforward though it tethers close to being risque at times.
I especially liked the part about the online sex chat session between Jude Law and Clive Owen. Pretty much sums up about the dangers of the net aye ?
But i found that the film emphasises too much on sex to be true , to the point that i find myself raising my eyebrow and telling "this is impossible. it can't actually happen in real life"
Can you imagine questioning your soon-to-be estranged spouse about the intimate details of how she cheated on you ?
Excerpts from a conversation between Julia Roberts and Clive Owen ( typed with what is left of my memory and i made up the rest which i cant remember its really vulgar so all ye purists stay out lol ) :
"He fucked you right there on that couch didn't he , you whore ?"
"Yes he did."
"You liked it didn't you ?"
"Hell yes."
"You're such a fucking bitch . Was he better than me ?"
"Different."
"Don't give me that crap ! Was he better than me ? WAS HE ? ANSWER ME !"
"I said , different. No better . Just different."
"Did you come ?"
"Look , i don't see why you want to....."
"I ASKED A QUESTION AND I DEMAND TO BE REPLIED SO REPLY ME YOU WHORE!"
"okay , yes."
"how many times ?"
"twice."
"how."
"he went down on me."
"and ?"
"thats all."
"did you blow him ? you liked blowing him didn't you , you filthy whore"
"i don't know."
"i'm fucking sure you did !"
"So i DID !"
"you're such a pathetic liar."
"so i am"
"did you wank off for him as well ?"
And then Julia Roberts had this major outburst that just about exhausted every word of my limited porn vocabulary , thererafter Clive Owen asked her to "just fuck off" .
I've watched many films with bed scenes before and never it has made me uncomfortable but i actually squirmed in my seat listening to the above conversation for reasons yet unbeknownst.
I believe this will remain an indelible part of my memory for a long time to come . Even though i was sinking deeper and deeper into my seat with embarrassement at the choice of ( descriptive ) words used to breach the topic , i was still held captive by the explosive mince-no-words dialogue.
Never underestimate the power of words i guess.
I don't think i would ever ask my partner such questions should i ever catch him being guilty of infidelity.
Spare me the details , please !
Like i can never bear to sleep on the bed that i know my partner has made out with someone that isn't me . It'll have to go straight to the dumps.
Wah lao , beds very expensive leh.
Hence i say , "Ignorance is bliss"
Neither can i ever imagine a recouncilation with someone who strays while being in a relationship. Like they always say "Once bitten , twice shy"
And now , i really want to catch The Woodsman and Team America : World Police .

COLLEGE ROCKFEST!
----
Just got back from the college Rockfest @ Youthpark .
IT WAS A BLAST !
Well , except that the sound system was marred with lotsa faults and that most of the vocals went terribly off-key due to what sounds like the mic's fault.
But still i enjoyed myself terribly though Yan wasn't exactly receptive to it and kept wanting to leave . =(
Seeing that a few drummers were female , i inexplicably felt all warm and fuzzy inside . Maybe because i was daydreaming about the day i can finally sit behind a set and have people screaming out my name :D But i'll have to start my lessons at Yamaha first lah !!
Pity the audience's response was kinda lukewarm . The turnout wasn't exactly fantastic either but it was still much better than the mere handful of people who attended at previous similar events. We really need much more publicity !!!!
SUPPORT LOCAL BANDS !!!
I particularly enjoyed Rafe's , USV's and Documentary in Amber's performances. My primal instincts took over for a while and my eyes started wandering and i openly gawked at one of the guitarists from Documentary in Amber . Heh heh heh . He has a cute goatee !
Yah yah , i have a weakness for guys with goatees okay ???? Don't ask . Most girls find it an eyesore and that it looks untidy but i just find it otherwise. :D
Rafe ! I like their music .
SUPPORT LOCAL BANDS , ASSHOLES !
and i don't just mean those in the limelight like Pug Jelly or Electrico ( though i think they rock as well ) .
check out Rafe's website at www.rafe.cjb.net !! and their debut album costs only like $12 !!
