halloween, all saints' day, they went by undocumented. gasp.
when i was religiously keeping a personal (offline) journal, i was driven by one personal principle: each day must be documented, to prove that i lived it. i'd had a for-my-eyes-only journal since i was 12--long before this wonder called computer came to my life. alas, that era is slowly coming to an end...thanks to this blog. well, i kinda guessed it might happen. i don't know about you but i just can't keep two journals at the same time. i knew time would come when one will be cancelled out by the other. and so, the emerging victor: this one with the audience. sigh. somehow it's a bit more cathartic, spilling my beans in front of an audience. faceless they might be.
going back to halloween, i just realized (after watching it again for the, hmm, 18th time) that Bram Stoker's Dracula (the one directed by Francis Ford Coppola)is my favorite horror movie of all time. gothic horror reinvented. and the film's a visual feast, from credit to credit.
so Dracula beats out scream 1 on my list. haha. i realized that seeing keanu getting sucked (oops) by vampiresses beats out seeing Rose McGowan getting severed by a garage door.
by the way, Dracula is also in my Top 10 list of corniest romance movies. and gary oldman's "i love you too much to condemn you!" is up there in the league of Jerry Maguire's "you complete me" and Jack Nicholson's "you make me wanna be a better man"-- one of the most irritatingly kilig lines in contemporary hollywood cinema ever.
i hate it!
