Looking Back On Old Movies: 10,000 B.C.

So I've seen 10,000 B.C. twice on HBO this June. Watching it one too many times just reminds me of how sucky the production was. Seriously, you already ignore the fact that they speak English in a really weird (read: Indian-ish) accent, but if you're going to put so much detail into the way the characters look, maybe you should've paid attention to their teeth, too.

I mean, c'mon! They're all dirty and greasy from not taking a proper bath but they all have pearly, white teeth? What? They haven't invented soap but they've already come up with a flouride toothpaste and a functional toothbrush back then?

Tsk. If you're going to make things believable the incorporating as much detail as possible, then make sure you cover all bases, yes?

Well, I dunno if you guys noticed these things, but watching the movie again just reminded me of how much I didn't like the film.

Anyway, moving on. Watched Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen with Obi today at Shangri-La Cineplex. The cost of the movie: 200Php for one screening. 200Php for a cinema that isn't even that awesome. Tsk

Now, the food. Food cannot be brought in if you didn't buy it from the Cineplex snack bar. I mean, what difference does it make if I bought it from the snack bar or from the grocery? It's still going to end up in my stomach and in the trash bin. Meh.

Now, I'm usually the only one complaining about stuff. But this time, Obi's with me about the cineplex thing. 200Php for a cinema house that forces you to buy your snacks from them even if you didn't feel like eating popcorn or their choice of chips is just absurd.

Too pissed off at the theater to actually write a casual review of the movie. More on Transformers 2 next time.
