Di Ingon 'Nato Experience aka Cinema One Film Festival SUCKS!

Had a horrible experience last night. From St. Paul University Manila, in  Malate, I went to Makati, then to Shangri-la Mall because I wanted to watch Di Ingon 'Nato.

After braving the almost 1 and a half hour drive, and the horrid winding parking ramp of Shangri-la Mall (seriously, it's like a maze), Danny and I get to the cinema, and guess what, Cinema One changed the schedule of the movie showing from Di Ingon 'Nato to Six Degrees. Seriously, who is the organizer of this Film Festival? When Danny checked on the schedule prior to leaving Makati, it still said in Shangri-la's Cineplex website that Di Ingon 'Nato was still showing.

Seriously, it totally sucked! I mean, who does that? Why can't they adhere to a schedule that has been up for so many days. People actually fixed their schedule and went to great extent just to catch the screening, so why change it hours before the actual showing? The organizers of this film festival suck, big time!

Silver lining, had a good cheap dinner at Mongkok in Shangri-la. Cheap, tasty dimsum will really pick your mood up. And we were able to watch In Time, which was a good movie and we wouldn't have bothered to watch it if not for the circumstances. However, we ended up sitting next to a weird couple in the cinema. I mean, seriously, the guy had to tell the girl everything that was going on in the movie. Can't she understand English? Why bother watching, just read the synopsis in Wikipedia. And that girl had the nerve to step on my aching toe! And she didn't even say sorry!

ARGH! What a horrible experience!

I did realize something, though. I have a new crush. I'm over Brittany Murphy, I'm in love with Amanda Seyfried. She was running around the entire movie... in 5-inch heels! And her character was supposed to be not used to running because she had all the time in the world, and yet that girl could run! And I just loved how she put her gun down when she went to her father's building! Haha! I really love her.

She was running around the movie in these heels!

So the horrid experience brought about good realizations, so okay na rin. Will be calling Shangri-la Cineplex to check if the sucky organizers of Cinema One's Film Festival changed the schedule for Di Ingon 'Nato again. Clean up your act Cinema One.
