close the gap

huh?


any fans of this movie? i didn't watch it till a few years back, thanks to him. i remember it left me with some unasnwered questions (this happened very often; i think i have a problem understanding things). 

we're doing media texts this school term. we were going through genres and i was speaking up quite a bit. it's nothing challenging, really, just responses to questions like "what are the characteristics of this movie?", etc. when the tutor asked for examples of some sci-fi movies, i kept coming up with the classics. i mentioned Space Odyssey (even though i've yet to watch it) and Blade Runner came up. he clarified if it's "2001" and i nodded. he said it's "hard to watch". i believe he's referring to the part where the guy was going through space. there's a term for this journey. what's it called?


she's so beautiful. remember her in Dune?


anyways, at one point, he cited the film Somewhere In Time. again, i could relate. i was visibly excited someone in the room knew of it. there's a period in my teenaged life i went to bed listening to the sountrack every damn night.

the other students must think no wonder lah she's an aunty already. she's probably older than the tutor. lol.  i think i was simply quicker to respond that evening. i imagine the scene would be the same if it's a class about 80s or 90s pop music. lol.

i have to rewatch Blade Runner. or maybe i won't. i had no idea about the original ending and the director's final cut. worst, i didn't know Ford's a replicant. aiyo. if there's one observation i could make and which won't be incorrect, it's that they couldn't make music without the sax, during that time. lol. i gotta admit i found it tacky now and it's like synonymous with... porn?! there's a time i enjoyed Kenny G. aiyo!!! lol.

speaking of Kenny G, i was in the dentist's chair today. i never had my upper wisdom teeth removed. i found out only recently why people would usually have all upper and lower ones removed. my upper ones were growing downwards to close the space left vacant since the removal of the bottom ones. there was some pain and my throat's suddenly quite sore. i was given a course of anti-biotics to prevent infection anyway.
