monkeycrap's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything. I believe it was Daniel Bedingfield who said, "Nothing hurts like love." Obviously Daniel has not encountered the total agony of having Robbie Keane score in the LAST MINUTE of play which resulted in a 2-0 victory to Tottenham, hence resulting in a donation of next week's forecasted lunch money to Singapore Pools. Damn. I so totally had that match won. I don't want to believe in luck, but when these kinda circumstances occur, you really wonder if there's any harm in trying out those bushfire-dancing-lucky-stone-caressing-rituals. I mean, the bbq pits at the park below my house are virtually untouched. And while I don't have the means to hire a Kenyan tribal band to chant the hoongachaka crap, I can always burn a copy of my friend's Missy Elliot cd for a perfect replicate. I do believe in chances and taking them, though. This time around, I saw my opportunity and took a shot at it. Unfortunately so did Robbie Keane. Idiot. Just watched a late night movie entitled 'Closer'. Goodness. It's a very interesting, fairly disturbing movie. Didn't involve any serial killers, nor evil spooky small girls with imaginary friends, but my gosh. It really brings out and glorifies the manipulation of human psychology, human nature, and our basic reptillian instinct. Here is a very basic overview, which by the way does not do justice to the movie at all. The entire movie revolves around 2 guys and 2 girls. First, the possessive nature of the male species is exhibited by 1 guy liking one girl but not willing to give up the other, using various excuses to cover up for his 'one is not enough' mindset. Then, the insecure nature of the female species is exhibited by the girl knowing that he is lying but still wants to believe. Ultimately she leaves him and he gets the other girl, which happened to be the wife of the other guy. Now in normal Hollywood movies, the guy who stole the wife either gets away because he followed his heart and love cannot be forced blah blah blah, or he gets brutally killed by the other guy. Not in this movie. The other guy takes revenge by using utterly cruel and heartless reverse psychology, involving a lot of acting, fake concern, playing of emotions, sex, etc. But not in the typical Hollywood 'bad guy' sort of way. And he gets his way in the end. He wins. Whatever he wanted from both girls, be it fulfillment of possesiveness, his carnal desires, his goals, or the need to see his rival and his belief in love and love at first sight totally reduced to nothing, he got. It's an absolutely dysfunctional and warped love quadrangle. Is it realistic? Pretty much so. Although I would think that most of us humans aren't all so cruel and callous emotionally. But it is a grim reminder of the power of simple heartless mind games. 4 out of 5 guinnessess. 1:18 a.m. - 2005-02-27 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
