Geeky Saturday

There are many people who love to go clubbing with friends and stuff on a Saturday night. While this sure is a nice thing once in a while, I wouldn't be able to stand it if I would have to do it every weekend like some fellas do. At least, our idea of a perfectly spent Saturday differs from the standard concept from most people of our age. Then again, we are sort of geeky so no wonder. Anyway, there is nothing better than a Saturday with your fellow geek buddy, haha.

This time around, we decided to go to see a movie in the cinema next to playing Call of Duty 4 on the big screen. We basically had to choose between Hitman and The Mist. Since we are used to rely on the ratings of the IMDb, we went for The Mist due to a better one in the end. Oooh, what a horrible mistake that was! Frankly, this gotta be one of the worst movies ever made. You toughed the Stephen King based film Dreamcatcher was bad?! Wait till you see this one. Daddy and son are driving to the supermarket, there comes the mysterious mist, people are dying, monsters within the mist, more people dying, people eventually go crazy and talk/do shit, the end. That's the movie in a nutshell. Just very unsatisfying to watch. If you don't like people talking trash 90% of the movie and only 10% action, a plot where nothing is properly explained to you (like where the mist is coming from except for some cheap theory) and a super disappointing end, I recommend you to stay away from this one! In addition, we also had a fucking annoying audience with this movie. Most of the seats were empty since everyone was watching I Am Legend I assume... but as few as they were, they annoyed the shit out of us. For example, the guy to my right constantly kept breathing in a very noisy way which made me believe he was about to die or something. He also almost shouted whenever he made a comment to his friend. Then, behind us, there was a girl which crackled with some sort of bag again and again. Best of all, the cellphone of the very same girl rang during the screening and guess what?! She actually answered it. I really got the urge to punch these people at that point... hard.

Well, but besides a crappy movie plus an annoying audience, it was of course a full success on all levels again. Last but not least, I made a short video to give you the chance to get an impression of a typical Saturday with us geeks :)
