The Terminal ________________________________________________________________

I caught a glimpse of HBO's blockbuster of the month: The Terminal, starring Tom Hanks. He's this unfortunate guy who is suddenly rendered 'stateless' just before he checks in at the JKF Airport in America, causing his passport and visa to be invalid. So as of then, he cant officially enter new york, nor can he fly back to his country.

I didn't watch the whole movie, because i was disrupted by the all exciting world cup! but anyhow, as far as i've watched it, the movie's funny! Tom Hanks was good as usual. and Stanley Tucci(who played some department head in the airport) who made me laugh out loud a few times. One of the scenes i can remember was Tucci trying to explain to Hanks that his country was at war. Hanks couldn speak english well (being from Krakozhia, or whatever country that is) , so Tucci took a bag of chips, pointed at it n said: that's Krakozhia. Then he took out an apple, waved it about and said: and this is a nuclear weapon. then without warning, he raised the apple and banged it down on the chips. then the bag of chips exploded onto Tom Hank's jacket. hahaha. the expression on tom hank's face was rather priceless :)

Salchak(his boss): I know you've been waiting for years for me to either drop dead or retire...
Frank Dixon(Tucci): No, I haven't been waiting for you to retire.

haha :D

Anyway as i mentioned earlier i was disrupted by the world cup :D i finally subscribed to it after thinkin for so long. yess, i know it's a little late because i've missed quite a few matches already but better late than never!! besides there are 64 matches, so missing the earlier few wouldnt matter much. so i caught Japan vs Croatia and Brazil vs Australia yesterday. Japan has quite a few good lookers! hahaha. okay, that previous sentence so confirmed the sterotype of girls watching the world cup: to look out for hot guys. but that's not true! i swear. i admit i dont know every rule in soccer but i do know some basics! and the concept of "to win you have to score" is not terribly difficult to understand. good looking players just come as a bonus ;) anywayyy, back to team japan, i'm not exactly a fan of theirs, but i certainly will support our Asian counterpart!! so my heart almost dropped at the penalty moment, but thank god for the wonderful save by the goalkeeper. He seems pretty funny. haha, especially after not stopping the ball passed to him by his teammate, which headed for the goalpost. Luckily it didnt get in! it was a 'phew' moment, but i did feel very much like laughing.

And then, came the game that inspired my need to subscribe brazil and australia. Go brazil!!! haha. i support Brazil first, then portugal. i got worried when they didnt score in the first half but thank god again, they bounced back for a 2-0 win! so YAY. And no matter what they say, i know you can do it, Ronaldo!!! Special mention to the Stupid commentator of that game, who continuously insulted ronaldo, only when there were moments when it looked like ronaldo was going to score, he changed his tune as quickly as u can say 'eat my shorts'. rawr.

next match-must-watch will be Japan vs Brazil, and though i hate to take sides i'd have to say i'm with Brazil all the wayyyy. goooooo brazil......! :D
