He may be creepy, but he still makes great movies!

Watched the latest instalment by the Placenta-Eater yesterday and surprised myself by really enjoying it. Whatever his shortcomings may be (and I for one regard eating his daughter's placenta as a definite shortcoming) the man really knows how to make a great movie.

Future notes on the new Cathay cinema (for my own recollection):

1. Parking is a bitch - unless your idea of parking includes embedding the paint from your car into the freshly painted car park walls.
2. Nothing is open for business yet except the cinema, toilets, lift and escalator.
3. But when they do open for business, they'll have the biggest kickass Starbucks I've ever seen, and Browhaus on the 2nd floor (oh happy day! - and Fore! it should be a happy day for you too!)

What really amazed me about last night's movie was the excellent memory of our Mr Ethan Hunt. He's lying there, and someone mumbles some address to him and he not only remembers it, he manages to make his way to said address without having to chew out some cab driver. I'm sure I've now ruined the movie for some people who might read this but trust me when I say that's not a big part of the plot.

If it was me in that position, I would have asked the person to send me a confirmatory email with the address clearly spelt out, but that's just me.

    Most other people I know who try this stunt are the mothers who have just given birth. And they don't eat it "right there" ala Cruise - they doggie bag the thing and make soup. He must like sushi or something. Thanks for visiting!

  4. "placenta" means "cake" so why not? You want fries with that?
