did i drink too much water or my bladder getting smaller?
i never learn! urgh. once upon a time, i was reading Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians". i was very engrossed and hooked up on the suspense that i can't control my fingers and flipped on to the last two pages. there goes my eyes...i wished i could turn back time... sigh, it's just hard to control myself. Different Ugliness,Different Madness by Marc Males is a graphic novel about two individuals who deal with grief differently. one by running away and the other by living in denial. one day these to meet and were forced to confront their fear. now i sounds like DVD cover synopsis... anyway, the art is ok ok, but the storyline is superb. i slapped myself twice for peeking at the last page. do not do not do this. it'll ruin the twist in the story.
i think Slumdog Millionaire is highly overrated. if i had not watch City of God i may like it. if you watched Capote first and then followed by Infamous you'll get what i mean. the plot line is a bit similar, about kids growing up in poverty. how they survived and the choices they had to make along the line. one grew up with integrity while the other grew up with the antonym of integrity. pardon my limited vocabulary. i mean the other one went to the dark side. the way the story unravels is very interesting and refreshing. but somehow i found it a little too violent. i cringed at some scenes. one thing i really like is the movie's soundtrack. i like the humming melody at the end when the credits are rolling and when Jamal is looking for Latika. it's A.R.Rahman's "Latika's Theme" very soothing. kind of like Death in Vegas's "Girls" which was used in "Lost in Translation". if you want the songs i have them.
