Friday was my favorite day of the week before it became a Saturday. I used to be happy because after a week of hard work, I could snag a good movie and have a delightful dinner. I guess my Fridays will never be the same again.
Last night I had all the time in the world to introspect on a lot of things. Then I suddenly thought, when was the last time I watched a movie? I don’t even remember. All I can recall now is July 18 (and it’s a Friday by the way). That was the day I was dying to watch Heath Ledger’s movie “DARK KNIGHT”. I was deeply harrowed when he passed away because this Aussie-breed Hollywood actor is one of my favorites. I watched all of his movies on the big screen–from “10 Things I hate about you” to “Broke Back Mountain” (even his “I’m not there” movie–his portrayal as Bob Dylan). Sad to say I wasn’t able to watch his last movie on the big screen. Up to these days I can’t forgive myself because I failed to watch his last performance. Everyone was telling me to buy the DVD instead. I told them, it’s not enough. If I could only rent one cinema in Rockwell and play this movie for me so I can finally watch it, I would. It will cost me a lot, but I don't care.
Friday may never be the same again, but this time I don’t want to miss another movie. Now I feel excited to enter the movie house once more and take note--I want it on a Friday! The Spanish film festival is coming this October and I want to bring back my enthusiasm for ART FILMS. I remember when my office used to be in Ortigas, I always watched CINE EUROPA for FREE in Shangri-La. So thank God there’s the Spanish Film Festival in Greenbelt. I will try to catch as many as I can. Hehe. The last Spanish film I snagged was Volando Boy. Unforgettable one. I am looking forward to snag another one this Friday, I shouldn’t miss the film “Ya soy la Juani”. Maybe the answers to my theories in life will be contextualized in the movie.
