me and a couple of friends were talking about the worst movie experience we ever had... and i guess cuz we all had similar bad impressions about the movie "pearl harbor" (even though 2 of us hadn't even seen it � i know, i know, it's kinda unfair but who cares), we ended up discussing and making fun of it for hours... giggling and scheming all the possible parodies we could make out of the movie... it's just so full of old overplayed cliches and bad fabrications that don't make sense, that it just became this constant source of entertainment for us...

basically it's just another cheesy love story with an 'accidental' backdrop of war. a love affair boycotted by bombs. it didn't have to be pearl harbor... it didn't even have to be a war at all. infact, any catastrophic tragic event would do!

the fact that so many people liked it is completely beyond me... it made me wonder if it's just a matter of different tastes and different takes on what's supposed to be 'entertaining', or are we just too cynical to appreciate the movie and its concept of the ideal human relationships?

anyway...

finally went by myself to see "the miles davis story" in the afternoon. it was a documentary of miles davis life, all the way from st louis to his death, as well as his evolution and philosophy as an artist. to me, the movie was mainly talking about his creative process; how he became the great progressive artist that he was. i love miles, he's just so amazing!
