Saturday was a really rainy day in Manila. Nothing much you can do during rainy days but stay indoors. So we decided to watch Super 8. I told the queens that I read somewhere that it's a "heart-warming" movie. They gave me strange looks and asked - how a suspense-thriller can be "heart-warming". After the movie - they will not agree with me when I said - "See - it is a heart-warming movie." Of course I'm strange like that. I almost cried in the Predator vs. Alien Movie -- when the Predator acknowledged the human soldier as a warrior and spared her life.
Back to Super 8 - I told the other queens that watching Super 8 seems like watching tidbits of old movies like: "ET", "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", "Men In Black", and other Steven Spielberg movies. Don't you think that scene when the boy let go of his locket is a mashed up version of ET and CE3K? Again - the other queens look at me as if I'm speaking a foreign language.
Anyways - I'm not here to talk about Super 8. I'm here to talk about what I ate before we went to the cinema. I wanted comfort food on this rainy day so we went to Kitchen. We noticed that Kitchen seems to be the new Se-gay-fredo. For those who can recall - the coffee shop Segafredo used to have gay men hanging out and having dinner before they head out to the clubs. Kitchen - that night - seems to be like that. Almost all of the patrons of the restaurant are gay.
So what did I order? I had fried ribs. We also had that banana-pie-thingy. After eating what we ordered - I felt comfort Which was good. Being comfortable before the suspense-filled Super 8 movie helped a lot to get through the scary and frightening scenes of the movie.
Or a bit of Goonies? Was this why Goonies was shown on cable last week? :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my God! You're right Dale ... It is like Goonies. I was actually thinking of Stand by Me but now that you mentioned it Goonies is a lot more similar to Super 8.
