Some movies are "okay", the ones you watch on tuesday so you only have to pay $6.50 and forget what it was about an hour after it ends.
Some movies are good ol "slam-and-bam" action ones, (in more ways than one, ahem) where you watch with you guy friends and leave your brain at the door.
Some movies are funny, the kind you cannot watch with a girl cause she'd think you were having an orgasm by the way you were squirming with laughter.
Some movies are scary, the kind you'd watch with your other half, (like Shutter.. -grin-) just so she has an excuse to bury her head on your shoulder.
Some movies suck, the kind you look at the trailer and know you'll never EVER watch it.
And then there are the movies which make you wanna do something simply cause they have such a big effect on your life.
Jurassic Park was one: it made the young 8-yr old me crazy over dinosaurs. Ask me to name 10 dinos offhand and i'll name them, tell you about their feeding habits and whether they existed in the Triassic, Jurassic or Curtateous period. Heck, i even have the toys.
Honey was another: the one that revitalised a hip-hop attitude and inspired a tired, jaded NSF to go for dance class.
And there was last night's You Got Served: Screened during Movies By The Bay @ Stadium Waterfront with her as lovely company. The shitty script and lacklustre acting were probably reasons why it wasnt screened in Singapore cinemas, but what the heck: the dancing was incredible, the music made me groove on my picnic mat (much to a neighbouring couple's annoyance), and it inspired yours truly to go for dance class today! (which i didnt la, due to a sudden onset of sore eyes during church! grumble. But aiyuh, there's always next week then.)
I miss dancing. Really I do. Dance was what gave SJI scouts a victory over ACS (i) during the IJ campfire in Sec 4, Dance was the inspiration for countless teachers' day concerts, dance was what i taught to 1000 J1s during Orientation, dance was the icing on the cake during my 18th birthday, dance was the thing that introduced me to the scandalous world of clubs, dance is what keeps me bouncing on a mundane MRT trip, dance was what gave SAJC Gold during SYF in 2003 and this year, dance was the X-factor that sealed the victory for a successful Open House, dance was the spark that ignited countless friendships, (hello Glen, Hui, Cynthia, Jessica, Jaime and Second! haha, just to name a few..)
And of course, dance is what led me to YOU. :)
