Movie moments...

Jack: Listen, Rose. You're gonna get out of here, you're gonna go on and make lots of babies, and you're gonna watch them grow. You're gonna die an old... an old lady warm in her bed, but not here, not this night. Not like this, do you understand me?

Rose: I can't feel my body.

Jack: Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me... it brought me to you. And I'm thankful for that, Rose. I'm thankful. You must do me this honor, Rose. Promise me you'll survive. That you won't give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise.

Rose: I promise.

Jack: Never let go.

Rose: I'll never let go. I'll never let go, Jack.


Movie Quote : Titanic (1997)




I am a BIG SUCKER for tear jerkers movie moments. Call it my feminine side or whatever.

In reality men do have a softer side in them. It's like ying and yang. Both sides actually complemented one another instead of being opposing. It's perfectly alright for a feminine side to coexist peacefully within a male mind. Instead of running away, you should embrace it.

Remember, my male friends...I said a feminine side exist in the mind and soul.

I'm not advocating cross dressing..

Hollywood has a knack of making it felt at the movies. The trinity of unison between movie plots, images and kick ass soundtrack...you have a recipe for a perfect tear jerker moment.




Remember the movie Titanic..?? The part when Jack was dying in the freezing waters and when he made Rose promise to live fully...that was a killer moment. I remembered watching it with my fiancee back in 97. She was sobbing throughout. I remembered holding her hands...trying to console her.

I have to admit that it does score points with the chicks or in my case the fiancee. Girls JUST LOVE guys that UNDERSTANDS emotional moments in movies. So even if you are trying hard to contain your laughter...keep it to yourself. Laughing or making stupid comments would only enhance your reputation as a cold hearted sonofabitch. That's a sure way of not scoring points with the girls.

You know what happens if you're short of points right..?

Yes, I am advocating FAKING as a substitute ;-)

If you cannot have the ying and yang balance...with all do respect, IMPROVISE.

I can't remember feeling that way in a malay movie though. I just hate the typical boy meets girl, boy gets rejected because he is poor. Then the girl married a fu**ed up rich playboy man that the parents like and manages to screw up her life. Hollywood at least gives a HAPPY ending...that fact is absent in most malay dramas.

I saw one malay drama during Hari Raya that TOTALLY spoilt the hari raya mood. See, the malay movie goes like this. Boy meets girl, boy and girl fell in love. Unfortunately, for the boy every hari raya, someone in his family dies. His mother is kindda loony so she gets tied up literally at home while boy finds a job. Boy becomes disillusioned and left his girlfriend because of ONE stupid misunderstanding. Girl got engaged with his best friend and boy later becomes a near beggar in the city. Girl saw boy one day, chases after him and GET THIS...accidently reverses her car into boy and boy dies. What kind of crap are they feeding the malays nowadays..??

Don't even get me started at the Nurkasih series on tv.

One movie ending that nearly...nearly made me cry was the scene in the movie, Click (2006).


Damn...Adam Sandler can really make a scene work.
