Tagged ! Six crazy things while watching movie:)

Vin has passed on this contagious bug to me. I know I am infected for I see the symptoms, I have started blabbering about the crazy things I do while watching or going for a movie. I am not much of a movie freak (the-song-and-dance-around-trees routine kills me), so the VCDs and DVDs are a boon for the likes of me who can fast forward these bits and get on with the story (which is not there in most cases anyway)...Once in a while when I am in a masochistic mood I tend to make my way to the multiplex to watch movies...I am tagging Div & ,LV heheheh why should I alone suffer...so here goes...

1) Watch back to back duds...this is a phenomena which I have observed of late, this gives rise to another observation that I must be in a near suicidal mood these days, for under no other circumstances will a person watch Indian Jones (dubbed in Hindi) and Don Muthuswamy back to back...can you imagine the suave Harrison Ford talking in hindi, the dubbed dialogues for Indian Jones is something that I will remember to the day I die...a grown man mouthing dialogues like "Mummy kidhar hai!!" etc...etc, is not something you will forget in a hurry...

2) Anticipate when the lead pair is going to break into a song and dance sequence and say(loudly), "Guys not now, please no song, pls pls", I especially remember doing this while watching "Singh is King", there they were dancing and singing "Jee Karda" or whatever crap wearing little or no clothes...practically inside the pyramids...guys how about a bit of respect for the dead...that is centuries of history you are dancing on...and to think I went to watch this movie after buying a ticket, when just the previous day I could have gone for free kills me...

3) Pass Smart Alec Comments...This is my all time favourite pass time at dud movies...We were watching the Tanisha starrer "SSSSHHHH", where a killer is on the loose and he is slowly killing the members of the group..one of the girls whose name was Gehena was killed...the killer drowns her and her body washs up on the beach and the next shot is of her body being washed away again...our heads were already shot thanks to the lack lustre script and my friend N decided to liven up the atmosphere... he quips..."Gehena, pani mein behena" everyone within earshot practically erupted in laughter...

4) Watch horror movies and then sleep for the next couple of weeks with the bedside lamp on...I hate horror movies... I just cannot watch it, I normally watch the build up to the story and then walk out of the room when the really scary bits start...my mum has an interesting way of watching horror movies... she just mutes the TV when the scary parts start...this is really effective...you don't feel all that scared when the sound effects are missing!!!...the other side effects of watching horror movies is that you want company when you go from one room to another :)

5) Weep when the National Anthem is played...this is a mystery that I have not been able to solve yet, tears start flowing from my eyes when the National Anthem is played, it is a saving grace that the lights are switched off...or else people will think that I am crying since I did not want to see the movie and have been dragged to the cinema hall (which is the case most of the time) by force!!!

6) Advertisements, social messages and trailers...I love to watch the advertisements, social messages and trailers that are played before the movie begin, so I make it a point to be there before time, somehow the advertisements seem much more attractive on the big screen!!!
