~ Forgotten ~

Okay, let's say you're blind. And let's say u have brains the size of a pea. And let's say ur command of english is worse than a banglah from Afghanistan. And let's say you want to go to the movies. And let's say you decide to pick a film WAY above ur mental and intellectual capabilities, such as THE FORGOTTEN . And let's say that, since you can't understand ENGLISH for nuts, but STILL u want to put up the facade of being intellectual and high class, you decide to bring a couple of friends of similar calibre along so that more than one person will be struggling to follow the plot, the action and the dialogue.

Do you think it might occur to you all not to REAPEAT EVERY SINGLE SUBSTANTIAL DIALOGUE IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE TO EACH OTHER AND SPECULATIE WHAT ARE THE IMPLICIT AND HIDDEN MEANINGS OF CLEARLY SIMPLISTIC AND STRAIGHT FORWARD SENTENCES AS LOUD AS YOU ALL POSSIBLY CAN? NOT TO MENTION GESTULATING WILDLY AND POINTING AT PARTS OF THE SCREEN WHERE SOMETHING SUBSTANTIAL IS GOING ON AND WHICH EVERYONE WILL CLEARLY NOTICE?

And, if you biatches can't do that, could you all please sit somewhere other than RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME?

Other than this teeny wheeny hiccup during the show, I must say it is pretty good. Also, it is the single most happening highlight of my entire week, which makes it all the more special. Which also explains why i am so intolerant of PPL WHO SPOIL IT FOR ME! RAWR!

The Forgotten... a show about the paranormal. There is an occult quality to the show which i found strangely compelling and attractive. It makes me believe that there is something ineffable out there somewhere, something beyond words and explanations, something that makes us mere mortals nothing more than pawns and little toys on the giant chessboard of life. Where nothing u own, nothing u possess, not even something so personal and close to the heart as the little precious memories about ur entire life is sacred and safe. Such is the beauty of the plot, being able to invoke such thought processes in me. I was brought crashing down to earth though, when abovementioned girls said 'Eeee, the aliens v scary... why this show got aliens oneeee'. OMG GIRLS, THIS IS NOT A SHOW ABOUT ALIENS! The entire beauty and charm of the plot was so totally lost to them.
Anyway, this show brought to mind another show i had watched some time back. Final Destination 1 & 2. A show about Death, and how Death, like a hunter, cannot be eluded because it is all mighty and every single mortal is subject to its rule. In some ways these two shows are totally not the same as The Forgotten, but in otherways, all of them exhibit something dark and brooding, even morbidity which i find facinating and more than a little chilled at. The tone and mood set by this show is simply captivating to me.

AND NO, THIS IS NOT A SHOW ABOUT ALIENS!
