Se7en, Horror Movies and Jerry Ong (NOT connected)

Ok.. was just surfing the net and clicked on Yahoo! Movies' "Really Scary Movies Guide", conveniently placed to "celebrate" Halloween... (Americans have wierd ideas)...and well, movie that caught my attention? SE7EN

And well, being the scaredy-cat me, knowing I wouldn't probably dare to actually rent the movie and watch it, yet really curious at how each murder for each sin was exacted out, I went to read the script. (Just like I did with Kill Bill.. but I wasn't scared of Kill Bill, it was just RA but it reeked ME.. the pop-couture addict.. hee hee...)

Aniwez, it's amazing what a lil' bit of imagination can do to a horror tale...I was not even really ready, just scanning the book till the murder scenes came (ala Angels and Demons)... NO.. i'm not psychotic or sadistic.. just that murders connected with a symbolism or so it just so warped and errm.. interesting? But aniwez, the end result was that I was gripped.. and well.. pretty terrified... so paranoid that i almost puked whilst drinking soup and finding a chunk of reddish meat in it... then an unknown person sent me an SMS going by

"Hi.. Frank whats up?.. How is your training? Can you core (cope) with it? Hey why you so moody everytime I see you... Whats wrong? you ok?"

I was freaked out, thinking along The Ring lines that I had received a haunting SMS from a psycho/stalker/serial killer and that I was the next victim in line and was about to die in 7 days... Maybe like a killer with the intelligence of John Doe (Se7en), stalked instincts of Annie Walker (Misery) and psychotic-ness of Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs/ Red Dragon --> which i DID watch and spent half of the time crouching behind my schoolbag in fear)....

so much for imagination... aniwez.. that was my medic-friend from Gryphon BMTC, Sazali...

aniwez, i've resolved that horror movies are NOT for me... ok.. maybe silly B-rated flicks like Resident-Evil : Apocalypse or something that doesn't really incite my imagination can.. but NO-NO to twisted movies like Se7en.. eww... i was really gonna be sick reading about Lust... ewww...

ok.. that's all i'm gonna say.. it's gross and i'm not spending anymore time wallowing in such a show.. which really well.. didn't much make sense in the end.. how the HECK does Detective Mills make a personification of wrath and well.. how does John Doe personify Envy with that lil' of envy that seemingly like developed within a few days since the start of the case... sigh.. seems like the director , for the sake of putting in a twist that would leave audience gasping, puts in a twist that well, hangs on a thread with the main plot of the movie... kinda like M. Night Shyamalan's The Village.

Okie, really gonna end this now.. I wanna have a good night's sleep tonight...going to watch Singapore Idoland Survivor 9 now and give my comments later.. hee hee.. Heard Jerry Ong went out.. and the newspapers had a field day gasping about "Justice has prevailed so on so forth", then the sad, humanistic story about Jerry Ong avoiding the newspapers during his Idol-chasing days in order not to be down-trodden by their scathing remarks also emerges... well? i mean, just like how scores of people blasted John Stevens for lasting so far in AI3, it's JUST LIKE THAT.. suck thumb.. sometimes even when you know you suck and you had a horrid performance that was so embarrasing you could pass out on stage, your inane rabid fans just keeping pouring their money away for you on the phones and prolong-ing your stay on and on...

oh well.. that's the side effects of such Idol competitions that one should be been aware of before joining rite? so.. well.. no pity for you Jerry..

Adios!
