Caught a movie just the other day with my friends, Kevin, Jin Meng, Bernard and Yuan Zhi, just the other day. As usual, I was the laughing stock for the day - how was I to know that fella was pushing the glass panel towards me when I was looking at the other direction? In the end I embarrassed myself by hitting myself unintentionally against the glass panel in public.
Disclaimer: Hey guys... Don't blame me for being so excited over VivoCity, man. It's my first time there, so I'm going to describe VivoCity as much as I can.
Nevermind that, I am willing to be a fool for Christ, for He who is above the world is far greater than he who is in this world. Anyways, we got the tickets we went for lunch at the food court located at the top floor. And it was the worst place possible to eat cheaply - the food court was designed and embellished so that it looks like a typical Chinese eatery in the middle of the night. With all that engineering feat it was easy to drag us into eating stuff we normally wouldn't pay such extravagant prices for... Thanks Bernard, for leading us into partial bankruptcy on-the-go...
and we went into Golden Village VivoCity. Along the way, we saw a separate corner specially for Gold class seats only. Whoo, looks posh, but definitely costs the customer a bomb, according to Jin Meng. Being the rich fella among us, of course he was being made fun of as the "Big Boss" able to afford such stuff for his 'family' - an internal joke that I'd share someday at the expense of his Internet-ional ridicule, which I just hadn't the heart to.
We went on to the cinema. Quantum of Solace was pretty cool, with all the special effects and stunts. No spoilers for you guys, so here's basically what I like about the movie: It's just stuntful, going around and shooting people like nobody's business, apart from the storyline, and it's a good show to go, if you aren't fundamentalist enough to follow the Bible strictly, verbatim.
However, from a Christian point of view I notice that most of the good movies in the cinemas nowadays either include lots of violence and sex - which explains the high popularity of M18 shows like Kill Bill and 300 - or the ones that are rated NC16 like Rule #1 and Resident Evil movie series. From all this I see sublimal messaging though - people these days are strongly influenced by things that they see in the cinema, so maybe that could be one of the reasons that you see those bad things going on in society - I won't say what.
That being said though, I don't object to watching these stuff - just be watchful of what you're watching and you should be safe - don't let violence from such movies influence you to be violent or stuff like that.
