"I walked under a bus, I got hit by a train. Keep falling in love, which is kinda the same. I've sunk out at sea, crashed my car.. gone insane and it felt so good, I wanna do it again"

Bachelor girl -- Buses and Trains

I really think I'm about to drive myself batty from watching movies all day for most of my holiday. I need someone to watch them with me. Unfortunately I can't go totally insane because school starts next week and well -- homework. That and everyone else is too busy doing their homework to watch movies with me all day T-T

My star movie of today is "A Knight's Tale". Gosh, another terrible movie, nearly rivalling the horror I saw in "Cat Woman". AKT played Queen's; We Will Rock You; but in a really odd way where mediaeval people were actually singing along to the music. That was off putting... how the hell can trumpets possibly sound like electric guitars? -- that's right, they don't.

Oh but the worst part was the leading female. Her character was nothing short of being an absolute biyatch. What kind of woman would ask the guy she liked to put himself in a life-threatening situation to prove his love to her??? WHAT KIND OF WOMAN, I ASK YOU???

I WILL TELL YOU!!!!... A stupidly selfish, unloving, undeserving, unbelievably asinine kind, that's what!!

In case you haven't watched the movie, what Jocelyn (biyatch) did is ask.. er.. whatshisface.. William/Auric to lose his jousting matches because she was sick of guys promising to win tournaments for her. Being the pathetic character he was, William literally sat on his horse and took hit after hit, losing his matches just to prove that he loved her. Then after he suffers terribly, she doesn't tell him, rather she gets her liason to tell him for her to stop losing matches. WTF! So he wins the championship and oh my gosh.. they.. hook up in then end *puts hands up to face in mock surprise* I never saw it coming.. how utterly sweet.

I was not convinced the characters were in love at all. What did she ever do for him? She demanded things on stupid whims and served only as a pretty face. She demonstrated no particularly attractive personality traits, they could've at least made her intelligent. What about him? William! All he did was fall for her looks and thus was sucked into a dark vortex of disgustingly whipped-dom. The man has no pride being used like that. Shame on him. Shame on her. Shame on the script writers.

I hated it terribly. I hated that he had so much pride for someone that was suppose to be a peasant. I hated that she risked his life to prove "love". There are better ways of finding out if a man loves you, and not only that, there are less wishy-washy ways than actually saying:

"to prove your love you must blahwhineblahwhinesnivel for me!"

She was asking him to deny his true nature!! To try and change him!! You don't!!! WOMAN!!! He already proclaimed his bloody love. He already wrote you a sappy grotesquely worded love letter. He already flirted persistently. He already begged for forgiveness when he acted like a ridiculous assssssss!! More than once!

*gasp*

Then there was that bad guy.. Adaman.. *makes hand into a fist and shakes it angrily*. He was so two-dimensional I was worried he might turn to the right and disappear.

I enjoy a nice romance as much as the next person, but stuff like that sickens me ~_~ If there's anything we can learn from Bachelor Girl's song, Buses and Trains, it's that "a man can kill and still be the sweetest thing". You can't change them. However, you can influence them ^_~

Bottom line: I now officially hate "A Knights Tale". I have also forgotten my irrevocable hate from yesterdays viewing of "Cat Woman".

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch "Infernal Affairs". It's about triads versus the police in Hong Kong. You can't go wrong with that >_>
