vote me off the island

lately i've been doing a lot of catching up with friends...
not that i'm away a whole lot but i like being informed about what goes on in their lives...
some might say i'm nosy...some might say i care....i guess i'd say it's a bit of both...

it comes as no surprise that i'm a really big movie freak...
i even have a list of movies that i carry with me just in case i end up at a dvd store...
so last night as i was browsing through the independent film section at imdb.com...i stumbled upon at least 20 movies that i have now added to my 'must watch' list...
chances are i won't be able to watch most of them...i'll be lucky if i manage to find 5...
most of them are on limited release so the cinemas won't be screening them...either that or they're just too obscure to be released on dvd...
oscar nominations will be out end of next month...
i used to have a quest to watch all the movies that are nominated for the oscars...
then i realized its a bit too big a challenge...
i'm not interested in short film or short animated film...costumes don't really excite me and neither does sound...
so i'll just watch the nominees for best film..director..lead and supporting actor and actress...original and adapted screenplay...animated film...
and i'll probably get a copy of all the soundtracks that are nominated...

anyway....random thought...

i'm a judgemental bitch who isn't afraid to admit it :P
i realized that i can be very judgemental...very critical and analytical...and guilty of typecasting...
i don't consider myself intelligent...successful...rich...independent...or whatever it is people like to say about me...
i do think that i am different than most...not better though...
i think my eccentricities contributes to my flaws...
which then contributes to my inability to get along with most people...
my inability to tolerate stupidity and childishness gets in the way of making new friends...
you can call me an elitist...but i'll deny it...chances are you're right though...
i'd like to believe i'm selective...but that basically leads back to elitist...
i also have a problem dealing with superficial and pretentious people...
i stereotype people...i judge them quickly...and i compare them with the friends i have now...
if they don't fit the bill immediately i brush them off without giving them a second chance...
sometimes i wonder...with an attitude like mine...how do my friends tolerate me...how do i manage to keep so many of them near....
how is it that i haven't been booted off the island.... :)
i guess i'm selective...i choose who i want to be nice to....
i know who i trust...who i care about...i know who will still be around when i'm 40...and most of all...i know the ones who will accept me for who i am...even after knowing all the things i just mentioned above...
and i know they won't hold it against me...
i have great friends...and i love them dearly...

anyway...i know i've already given points to malaysia cause my friends are here....
but i'm gonna throw in another 20 points cause they mean so much to me and i can't imagine my life without them...
plus another 10 points cause i don't have an internet connection in singapore which by the way didn't bother me before...
but since i started hsx.com....all i can think of is 'where can i find a place to trade my shares'...

singapore on the other hand...gets another 10 points cause when i'm here...i miss my little 2 bedroom apartment and the 2 things that mean the most to me...my refridgerator and my tv :)
and another 10 points for 24 hour mcdonalds delivery with no minimum order...

i'm torn between 2 worlds...and soon i have to decided which one i want to be in for good...
i hate choices.....sometimes....

aeon flux was terrible...don't need to say why...
doesn't beat sound of thunder for worst movie of the year though...
i was actually a fan of edward burns which is why i paid good money to watch the movie...
sometimes...when a movie is so bad...you just gotta watch it to believe it...
and you just have to endure it to the end so you don't miss out on the worst parts...
so go watch 'sound of thunder'...
