Remind me again to THOROUGHLY RESEARCH a movie before going to see it, because whoa, this was totally unexpected! Basically, I've been wanting to see this movie ever since I read an article about it in a magazine, and there was only ONE reason I was intrigued to watch it:
Hiroyuki Sanada.
Like, WTF is Hiroyuki Sanada doing in an American SCI-FI movie about astronauts saving the sun? So then few days ago I found out that Ami was also interested in watching this movie for the exact same reason.
HIROYUKI SANADA.
And you know what sucks the most?
He was the FIRST TO DIE in this 98 minute movie. WTF!? Oh sorry, I know this is a spoilery statement, but I just can't get over the fact that THE FIRST REASON WHY WE'RE WATCHING THIS MOVIE WAS ALSO THE FIRST TO GET KILLED OFF!!!!!!! I kinda already saw the signs when he and Cillian Murphy's character suited up and was sent out of the ship to fix some damages. I knew that someone was supposed to die, and I asked Ami on what are the odds that Cillian Murphy is gonna be the one killed off in this someone-is-about-to-get-killed-off-scene instead of the Asian? XD What I don't understand is why do the TWO MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE on the ship that's on a very important mission to save the earth gets shipped off outside to fix some panels and be put at a highly fatal risk?! Of all people, they sent off THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP, and the PHYSICIST who is the key person to the entire mission, like WTF?
So Captain Kaneda (Hiroyuki Sanada) gets killed off in a way that makes me wanna strangle director. Basically he was perched on top of the ship's shield that was supposed to protect them from the sun. The ship tilted its angle, in which the sun's deadly rays were rapidly approaching them, and darn it Captain Kaneda, YOU COULD'VE RAN, or WALK, or at least MOVE instead of standing there like an idiot being completely mesmerized by the scorching sun rays, and then of course he was burnt to crisp. Bye bye Captain Kaneda, the only reason why we're sitting in the movie. Sob.
Ami leaned over and whispered: "OK, let's go home now."
This is exactly like when I was watching House of Wax. The only reason I would watch the movie, being Jared Padalecki, was the first one to be killed off. Like not even anywhere near HALFWAY of the movie. Until this very day I never finished watching House of Wax. I always stop right after Jared gets popped off and rolled into hot wax XD
OK, so we didn't walk out of the movie, although now I'm thinking that WE SHOULD HAVE, all this time I really thought that the movie was gonna be somewhat Armageddon, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. It's definitely more like, 99% Event Horizon 1% Armageddon. Frack frack frack frack fraaaaaaaack x10000. Why?
BECAUSE EVENT HORIZON TRAUMATIZED ME 10 YEARS AGO!!!
No shit man, I was soooooo disturbed by Event Horizon it gave me nightmares!!! And it wasn't until the part where the crew found the remains of their predecessor, Icarus I that failed in the same mission 7 years ago, that I realized, FUCKING HELL, THIS IS FREAKIN' EVENT HORIZON!!!!! ASDFGHJKL:;"/*&^%$ The scene where they started boarding the abandoned Icarus I, suddenly there were these nanoseconds of *FLASHES* of a single frame of what looked like A FACE in BURNING FLAMES or something, that would occur every few minutes or so, VERY RANDOMLY! FUG FUG FUG FUG FUG FUG. OK, seriously, I think I have my eyes closed most of the time from thereonafter because I just can't handle that kind of DISTURBING VISUALS. NANOSECOND FLASHES OF WHATEVER CRAP SCARY FACES IS SERIOUSLY DISTURBING YO!!! Even talking about it right now gives me the creeps because it got me thinking what if suddenly something CREEPY flashes on my very computer screen RIGHT NOW??? Oh crap, now I've successfully creeped myself out I might have to just shut down my computer now. And crap, that goes for TV too. Means I can't watch DVDs tonight? ARGH THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK think Takki think Takki think Takki. Think Takki in the ofuro. Think Takki in his 『タッキー25』 Birthday T-shirt. Think Takki doing his magic card tricks. Think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki THINK TAKKI THINK TAKKI!!!!!!!
And then Michelle Yeoh gets killed off too. There were three freakin' Asians in the movie and they're the first ones to get killed off!!! *screams RACIAL DISCRIMINATION* Nah, just kidding XD
Honestly, I don't think it's a bad film though. Seriously, I don't. And for a 98 minute movie, it actually felt longer and more profound, and not zip zip zap gone like stupid Ninja Turtles (which I only watched for nostalgic reasons, mind you!) For all of you who love a good suspense, by all means, do watch. But if you were as traumatized as I was by Event Horizon 10 years ago, seriously, you'd be better off if you DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE. And thank god their mission succeeded, even though everyone died on that bloody ship. Seriously, if I had to went through that crap and then having to watch the mission fail, I would've personally packed up on this witch hunt for Danny Boyle's head! LOL.
Think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki think Takki.......

Thanks to you I won't watch this film either. Event Horizon FREAKED me to no end that many years ago. I remember the floating hand that came out of nowhere... yes I STILL remember that part - I screamed my head off like most of the others at the theatre -_-;
I read about you turning this blog into a REAL blog lol. Ahhh.. the inevitable....how many people are still blogging non-stop abt t+t nowadays? (back from a few years ago that is...) I really wonder about that.
Life was so much better as a student :((( Why did we have to graduate and start working *cries*
