Ahahaha successfully rented yamakasi! :) So, after watching it three times over the three days I had it on rent, I returned it today and was left with a feeling like there was a hole in my heart. Like there's something missing in me. Sniff. I was planning on *cough* doing some *cough* less than legal stuff with it, as Zhihua would know, but I unfortunately thought of it only in the middle of the night last night, so too late. Awww. Zhihua was very eager to help me with it though. :D
The first time, I watched it myself. The second time, I forced my dad to watch it with me. And the third time, I forced my mum to. Ahaha. My dad found it pretty amusing, but my mum seemed to like it a lot. :D I think she likes Spider. Wheee. At the part where they all save Aila's mum from her attempt to commit suicide, she went, "Waaah...they all very good leh!" Ahahaha. But at that part everyone in my options class was also ooh-ing and ahh-ing. :D I remember Ms Tan was very impressed by the rescue too. And when Spider takes out the file with all seven doctors' addresses (which he stole from the doctor's room), my mum was laughing and saying, "You mean he stole that? No wonder he's Spider." Ok, I don't get that comment either, but nevermind, as long as she likes him. :D My dad, upon seeing Spider appear for the first time, went, "That's a girl!" I was sputtering indignantly.
My cousin who came over for Maths tuition from me (like I can tutor anyone anyway) didn't think very much of the seven of them. Ok, so she didn't watch it, but she was studying the dvd cover and making so many negative comments that I was tempted to name her Insultatron No. 2. She insults people almost as well as Rita. :D But because she declared Baseball the best among them, I forgave her. She said "These two are ok (baseball and weasel), and this one is the best (baseball), but the rest are all suckers! And this one is the worst (spider)!" Reason being she thinks he looks like a girl with his hair. Grrr. Zhihua thinks he looks like snape. :D And she can't stand Tango either. "This one look like a sick man! Like two hours time going to die like that! See the big scar on his face! And why is he leaning against the wall like that! And the expression is like so sick!" I tried to explain that aforesaid scar is just a shadow, and that the pose in question was meant to be a "cool" one, like the typical cool, bored look which says "I don't care." Unfortunately, she doesn't get it. Ah well, she's only ten. Zhihua says that once she reaches puberty, the "oestrogen and progesterone" will change her mind as she learns to be more appreciative. :D
So now I'm going for the one which is sold, not just rented. Yes, I heard Rita's advice about ebay and amazon, but somehow I prefer getting it without the help of the net. :D Ahahaha. Call me irrational if you like. :D First up is Borders. So far, I've already spent 15 bucks on the two rentals. Plus, upcoming dvd. Hmmm.
Zhihua: Ah, the things fannish love makes us do!
I still haven't tired of the movie yet! In fact, I think I like it even more now. :D And I noticed that Baseball actually said and did loads of cool stuff, which I didn't notice the first time, mostly because I was taking more notice of Spider instead. There's this part when the police fire a smoke bomb into the house they're hiding, and while it's still fizzling, Baseball picks it up and pitches it out through the window all the way to where the minister's hiding behind his car. The minister shouted "They're obviously lunatics!" at this point. Ahahahaha.
Oh, and Zhihua, something which might interest you:
Excerpt from book (the SAME book):
"After several more rounds, which had them all laughing - the Master, Jack told them, was a cross-dressing lap dancer and (person) a Mafia boss on the run from his domineering mother."
"(person) was a crack shot, and was quite used to killing trespassers who came on to the Master's land."
