Rain in KL
Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Local Time: Wednesday, Feb 1 2006 - 8:44pm
The theatres open before noon here. Amazing. The lineups are equalling mindblowing. Malaysians really seem to love movies. Tickets are 11RM (~ $4 CND). I went to see My Kungfu Sweetheart today. I should have known better, I really, really should have known better.
I have never yet walked out of a movie in my life, but this is the second time I actually considered it. (The first time was Legends of the Fall. I was in university at the time, and didn't want to waste the $2 it cost to get it or I would have walked out.)
After that, I relaxed in the park and read a book for hours. The reading was periodically interrupted by random rainfall, during which I stood under the trees and read my book.

Must be a big book if you managed to read it for hours. Isn't your MTRB (mean-time-to-read-a-book) about 1.42 hours?
Does the average household have a TV? or is going to the movies a substitute for my watching TV?
did the pages get soggy? Did other Malay sit and read over your shoulder? What is Kung Fu?
What was your original intention for seeing Legends of the Fall? Was it because Brad is cute? Come- on, it's 2006, we're all adults here...most of us...admit it. Were you wearing your infamous, 'nut hugger shorts' when you were watching it? Was it raining?
I saw Legends as well, but, for the life of me, I can't think of why. I remember seeing them filming it down in gastown, and shouting 'hello' to Julia Ormand (because I thought she was cute, I guess).
I cannot tell you why I would see such a film, it doesn't seem like something I would do, unless I was really, really drunk, or if my girlfriend took me to it, or something....
