Yesterday, John and I were supposed to go see the Porcelain show in the Temple Bar in Santa Monica. But you know how it goes with my weird claustrophobia an general dislike for people :/ I love love love the band, but I really hate the club scene. It wasn’t a good experience the first time, and I was kind of too tired to relive it last night. I’m sure the band rocked it though =]
Soooo what did we do in that time?
We watched Jet Li and Jackie Chan’s new movie, The Forbidden Kingdom, thats what :B
I went in there expecting total crap, in which they’d butcher the story of the Monkey King (you know, the movie that me and my family would all watch together years ago . . . one of the only “bonding” times we had :B), rip away my childhood, further prove that Asian actors know nothing besides shit kung-fu movies, and have the whitey save the day at the very end.
I was pleasantly surprised n_______n
The music was great (for some reason, I find the typical “old China” music to be beautiful and really sad at the same time), the fighting was great (not long and drawn out), and it was really funny :B I thought Jackie Chan’s lines would only include stupid and corny sayings, but the corn was cleverly placed =] And even though the kid from Boston really did save the day, they handled it really well. Don’t take it too seriously and its pretty much the bestest film ever. Like. Up there with Transformers O: (hush, I liked that movie :B) Plus! Jet Li’s first line in the movie was “No Fool!” Only if you’ve ever heard Asians say that, it comes out like “NO FU!” where even if the movie did suck, which it didn’t, that line would have saved it. I wanna go see it again :B
Then afterwards, John stayed the night :] We camped out on the floor, I froze my ass off (he likes it cold, I like to sleep under the covers in summer), caught tiny colds, and woke up with bad morning breath. It was a really good night :]
And surprisingly the movie got good reviews. I might actually break down to take my son to see it.
