A weekday's rare second post

Well, as we've established, it is a Wednesday after all, and I have the luxury of time, so here it is. This morning's Straits Time Life review of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen gave it HALF a star out of 5. This could possibly have a reverse psychological effect: viewers might want to see for themselves just how bad it is. I for one have to side with the review; it was not a good show. So not good in fact that even when I received a call (kindly ignore the inappropriate theatre etiquette) at what was supposed to be a plot-revealing section involving some serious dialogue, I did not find myself less able to appreciate the special effects of the movie. And that was all the movie was - a large container of special effects costing as much as a mid-sized 3rd world country's annual gdp, devoid of proper acting, character development, story line or climax and resolution. At any rate, since I did miss out a good minute or so of the show while on the phone, I potentially have a reason to watch it again if someone does ask me to, because if I hadn't missed anything I'd be hard pressed to think of why I would want to shell out for another ticket.

On a separate note, I sent a text message to my boss's boss yesterday which was decidedly longer than most and contained the terms "nuance" and "righteous discontent"; I shall refrain from elaborating about the (sadly) expected response it garnered. Oh, and in this same world, apparently the alternative to running is to walk fast; I guess I'll take what I can, whatever verbal insurance I can strangle out of them.
