four days from now, i will be seated in the middle of the gateway mall's globe platinum cinema with my beloved queen, layla, chugging on refillable drinks, and munching on unlimited popcorn, and more importantly, watching the long overdue SUPERMAN RETURNS!!! ka-chow! you see, i am a total geek and proud to be one (but not like they way gay people are blatantly and loudly proud of their... um... condition), and ive already bought the tickets around two weeks ago, on the very day the tickets were available for purchase. coincidentally while wearing my superman t-shirt. anyways, being the first feature film to be shown in imax 3d, superman returns will also be screened in the notorious mall of asia's imax theater. why didnt i chose to watch it there and be awed by the 8-story high, crsip quality screen accompanied by 3d technology? because i wanna watch this movie as is. well, at least the first time. i sorta kinda find being told to wear and take off the 3d glasses at certain points in th film arduous. and it basically ruins the experience. like while you're struck silly by the attention-diverting 3d effects (trust me, it will in one way or another amaze you like a kid in disneyland) you're missing out on the big part of the movie, which is the story. which the foremost reason i watch movies. in a lucky list, story would fall on number 13 and other aspects like special effects, acting, directing, editing, would occupy the previous numbers. that's how i watch movies, and that's how i will watch superman returns (so layla, i apologize right now if you would feel nonexistent during the movie or if i shush you. i know you'd understand).
the superman trailer! in lego!
so, fellow superman fans, comic book geeks, movie buffs, and others, see you at the movies this wednesday where we'll all believe a man can fly. again.
p.s. on a sorta related story, nix and hydra are the two new satellites (okay, moons) of pluto. the planet. not the disney dog.

Hey! Good to see you blogging again! I feel sorry for your "beloved queen", hehe! But I completely understand. If I was that excited about a movie, I wouldn't even care if I watched it alone just to make sure there was no distractions! LOL! The 3D thing in mall of asia sounds cool but annoying if you have to take it off and put it on, every once and a while!
Hope the movie doesn't disappoint you! Have fun! Gonna watch it too soon!
i've always wanted to try gateway's cinema. perfect place to bring your date for a movie. sigh. i just find it too far.
enjoy! :)
jigs: thanks. im actually lowering expectations on the movie. though i know it's in good hands considering what bryan singer did with the x-men. about the 3d glasses, yeah it's kinda annoying. i watched spy kids 3d and i barely understood the story 'cause i was busy trying to catch the 3d objects with my hands...
tin: try it. it's one of the better cinemas in manila. layla and i have this vow to watch at least once in every theater in manila. if you find it too far, then you dont really want to go there. your comment reminded me of the song "aint no mountain high enough, aint no river wide enough..."
take care, guys!
