Tom Yam Goong

Happy Halloween, my lovely blogders. It's an unearthly hour for me to be blogging. But not to worry, my mental and emotional health is sane and stable. No sweet young thing has broken my fragile heart, not that there is anyone to break it in the first place.

Warning: Some Tom Yam Goong spoiler below.

I just came back from the movie, Tom Yam Goong. The movie was rather like Ong Bak, with an indestructable main character who's a one man show, single handedly dislocating the joints of armies of villians. Not my kind of show. Anyone who knows my previous nick knows my favourite character from 絕代雙驕 is 小魚兒, not 花無缺. I much prefer the main character to be sub-par fighter, but one who uses wits to overcome the enemies.

Anyway, before the movie began, i was following the guys around to look for some drinks in Carefour. There, one of the guys pointed out to me, cartons and cartons of Coca Cola (fortunately, my sweet tooth binge-ing came the day before). And looking at the cartons that were stacked together with something else, i can't help but think back about the data-mining lessons i had, like how people who bought beer were likely to buy diapers. Don't ask me for the correlation, i'm not eloquent enough, in writing, to answer that.

Stacked together with Coca Cola was cartons of Jim Bean Bourbone Whiskey. Quite evidently, the correlation between the two was Bourbone Coke. I didn't know the drink was such a favourite until a couple hours ago.

Anyway, the show ended well into two am in the wee hours. I thought years of late night gaming studying would have made me understood what midnight hunger was. But i kind of forgotten about it and when the show ended, i was ravenous. Yvonne asked me if i was gonna blog or sleep when i reached home, well.. i guess the answer is neither, coz i began scavenging for food the moment i was home.

Well, all in all, Tom Yam Goong is a show to watch if you're looking for slick moves akin to Jackie Chan movies, with the reduction in female inferiority which always seem to be prevalent in Jackie's movies.

My Rating *** (out of 5)
