BRING HER TO ME

I saw this in bed after midnight today, March 7th, 2024, via my cellphone's 📱 TUBI Streaming App.

Scene Commentaries:

If you keep having nightmares about entities trying to get you, I don't think that it's a good idea to go to bed butt-naked! 🙁  You'd just be attracting them even more!!  😍  I know that I wouldn't sleep butt-naked, if I were in her place!!! 😂

It's not a dream, it's a nightmare! 🙄

Her name, Mara, is a dead giveaway!  🧐

So is the name, Raziel!  🤓

Likewise, Abagale has a meaning related to this movie! 🤨

I guess that the writer of this script was hoping that nobody would have a clue about the characters' names❗😏❗

And speaking of writer, the written dialogue for the demon character is exactly how I wrote dialogues around 40 years ago❗👨❗I last wrote dialogues in such a way around the year 2013 because it didn't look "normal" at all. It's a kind of writing style that one would only use in an English class to let the professor know that you can use such words as examples in a sentence! I guess that English professors know this too well and try to stir their students clear of such a pitfall. Because such a writing style can sometimes lead to Stilted Prose when done carelessly!

And books on writing style all say to write ✍️ naturally like how one talks. But I Don't Think That That's A Good Rule To Follow Anymore. 😟 I Mean, Have You Heard How Some People Talk These Days❓ One Has To Draw The Line At Some Point Somewhere❗

Stilted Prose can work as song lyrics, though. But Only If You Have A Hit Song In Your Hands❗ Or is that Stilted "Verse" ....  😶

A flying bed 🛏️ is definitely an upgrade for a flying carpet. 😁  All that it needs are some straps to secure someone into place! Oh, wait!! It does come with straps as shown later on!!!  🤣 🤣 🤣

Here's something new: The demon 😈 offers Vegan food!!! 🤦‍♂️ Well, this movie was filmed in Southern California. So ....  😄 😄 😄

The actress who plays the role of Mara looks like a pre-plastic surgery Megan Fox.  😕

Why does the coffee shop have walls with the paint peeling off? Ditto for Mara's apartment. 🤔

Never trust a barista!  😄

It's a nice plot twist at the end. 👍

Tidbit:

Yesterday, I ate half of a Green Pomelo that my brother gave me last week. It was surprisingly not tart. It was mild and sweet BUT had a lot of seeds in it! I think 🤔 that I'll plant some pomelo seeds at Dan Foley Park in late Spring when I go there for my walks. 🚶‍♂️ It will be a L-o-n-g 6 years to wait for them to bear fruit.  🗓️ 🕰️

It was okay to take my Rosuvastatin drug because I made sure to take it 8 hours apart from my pomelo snack. And Rosuvastatin doesn't interact with Green Pomelo anyway. Besides, I only half-dose my prescription medications. But my brother takes 2 kinds of statin drugs each day and can't eat either Grapefruit or Green Pomelo! 😲

JEE VE SOHNEYA JEE/LAND OF BAD

I went to see this movie today, a $5.00 All Day Bargain Tuesday, February 20th, 2024, at the Regal Edwards Fairfield & I-Max. The price of admission was $5.00. And I bought a medium bag of Popcorn 🍿 for $4.90. I brought my own 20 oz ( 591 ml ) iced bottled Aquafina water; and a stick of Wyler's Light Island Punch Blue Ocean Breeze to flavor the water. As well, I brought a Weight Watcher's Fiber One Peanut Butter Cocoa Crumble protein bar. This was my lunch!  🤤

SYNOPSIS: A Pakistani man and a Hindu woman seem destined for each other. Which is a symbolic representation of the hope for the reunification of Pakistan and India after the August 1947 British Partition Mandate. And how this movie is set in England illustrates the divisive interaction between the peoples of the 3 nations. 

NR (?) 2 h & 20 m

Auditorium 3, B-9

WORD of ADVICE: If you do decide to go see this movie, skip the 1st 5 minutes and the last 15 minutes or so. Then, it is a perfect Romance movie❗ You've been warned! 

I'll just leave it right there ( and refrain from making scene commentaries ) so that I don't spoil it for the rest of you who still want to go see this movie.  🤐

TIDBIT: I was about to buy a movie ticket when my cellphone rang. The podiatrist wants me to come in sometime this April to get fitted for a pair of customized orthopedic shoes. Since it's covered 100% by Medi-Cal, I might as well get a pair-- or two or ....  😀

-------

The Next Movie Is ....

I saw this next movie about 45 minutes after the 1st one ended.  And I brought with me half a package of Water Chestnut plus 8 pieces of roasted Cashews ( that I went to fetch from my car ) to snack on as I watched this movie.

-

SYNOPSIS: A Spec-Op team, on a hostage rescue mission, goes deep into the Philippine jungle but are ambushed. The rookie of the team must put his complete trust in an Air Force drone pilot when he decides that no one is to be left behind before missiles obliterate the jihadist compound! 

R, 1 h & 50 m

Auditorium 7, C-10

SCENE COMMENTARIES:

A Q&A is posed by Reaper, "How do you know if someone is a vegan? They will tell you!" I would have answered with, They FART 🤢 A Lot!! I noticed this when I switched to a high-fiber diet to help control Arterial Plaque buildup!!!  😁😁😁

Good doggie, stupid homie!  🙃

He was finally just 1.2 kilometers ( ¾ mile ) away  from the Landing Zone ( LZ ) and it was still bright and sunny. But ... as soon as he was at the LZ, It Was Already Dark! WTF? 🤦‍♂️ Did he take a nap along the way?!?!?! 🤷‍♂️

The molar tooth sure came out clean instead of cracked or broken. 😯 He must have a badly receded gumline and also suffer from major jawbone loss!  😏

Lastly, why were the native moslems speaking in Tagalog? This movie made the same language Faux Pas ( bad mistake ) as Gerard Butler's 2023 PLANE movie about the same kind of insurgents! 🧐

Why is this movie made in Australia? I thought those big trees looked suspicious because they didn't have vines on them like the native Balete Trees do! And the islamist hide-out is just glaringly out of place! Just like Gerard Butler's PLANE movie had marshlands that looked out of place because They Were Out Of Place Since It Was Filmed In Puerto Rico. Likewise, the dilapidated islamist hideout in Gerard's movie looked out of place simply by its architecture. 

Yes, those idiots need to be court martialed! 

If you know a particular scandal involving Russell Crowe, you'd have expected him to throw the phone at the senior officer, too ❗🤣🤣🤣

BUT, overall, it's a good movie to go see once the firefight begins!  🥤🙂🍿

FYI: Listen, Whollyweird, if you're going to make a movie about moslem insurgents in the Philippines, DON'T HIRE TAGALOG-SPEAKING ACTORS TO PLAY THE PARTS❗❗❗ Otherwise, you'll just be exposing your Demographics ignorance. Insurgents that speak Tagalog are communists ( i.e. Hukbalahap ) that are based in Luzon! Insurgents in the Visayan and Mindanao regions speak any of the Moros dialects or any of the Bisaya dialects!! I could have told you THAT had you consulted with me first, Cine-Man, the Bisaya Language "expert!!!" 🤓 And I have 1st cousins in Mindanao that are fluent in the Moros language, too. And a cousin who's a Hostage Negotiator.👌😎 👍

Whollyweird Should Really Hire My Services If They Need Their movies To Appeal To Those Of Us Movie-Goers With Common Sense! 

P.S. The result of the 24-Hour Le Cine-Man's Race will be posted in the next blog since I also went and saw a 3rd movie at another Cineplex.  🙂
