pembunuhan imaginasi...

heh..ganas? takde la...biasa2 jer. last night..after i have even forgotten when and what was the last movie we watch in cinema..we went for a marathon. all 8 of us [berjaya drag faizan n fariza skali walaupun diaorg penat gila baru balik kerja... and sophie too..] went for a movie marathon.. the first one, the teachers to be..thats 6 of us.. watched SAW2 [terrible horrible story...]. while the doctors..watched a more lighter movie In Her Shoes...then, Sally and Laylee decided to watch In Her Shoes, while the rest, including me.. watch Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire [i love screen 9, its sooooooo huge!!!]

i watched 3 out of 4 harry potter movie on the opening nights... ok la.. days. i watched the first one with Aniza. i miss the 2nd harry potter movie on the opening day..tak ingat la kenapa. i remember going to the 3rd movie with Joe.. heh..he being a movie freak!! JOE... aku dah tgk Harry Potter!! [gelak sambil nangis...sbb tak dpt makan nasi minyak esok!!!!] jeles? tak yah la..time after time.. i think the movie kill the imagination [hence the title for todays blog...]. i admit it was and still is a good movie.. but i think it kind of kills the readers imagination [read: I THINK!!]. bcos i used to read the book..but only the first 2 before the movie was released.. bcos after the first movie was released, it change everything i ever imagine out of the book.. Hogwarts,in my mind was such a different place than the one in the movie. it was sooo magical...so bright and sparkling and beautiful [no doubt it is still magical and beautiful but its different..] honestly, i think i have forgotten how i first imagine how hogwart looks like..

i think its good to have movie out of a book. bcos i totally never imagined Darcy [from Pride and Perjudice- the original British version. Wok..who was the guy again?? the one acted in Bridget Jones' Diary????] was that handsome and good looking, erk i mean not agreeable ie proud and arrogant[definately handsome enough to temp me..heh] and i never thought it was the sweetest love story ever.. after watching the movie, i read and read the book for the countless time. i read every line and i enjoy reading it. the story [the language and plot] was soo complicated, yet the movie makes it easier for me to enjoy the story better. im not sure why i think of Harry Potter differently..maybe i read the children version where i can easily imagine the story line in my head. maybe i should try the adult version of Harry Potter latest book [Abah!!! nak pinjam leh tak?? have u finished it?] i once tried to read Lords Of the Ring.. but never succeed. it was just too plain long and complicated. watching the movie itself make me tired...whats more reading it. [yup Laylee..i agree...reading was never easy, thus the appreciation of literature is very rare..].

i have left my passion of reading for quite some time now.. Kak Idlan said..in order to write, u have to read.. maybe thats why i dont have much to write lately. for the countless time, i should be reading more.. make use of the time u r here in UK, where there are soo many good books that cost no more than a short walk to the hospital, down the hill and a £2 coin in the pocket or maybe less [that include picking a book out from the fiction section in the library or downstairs in Sal's or Woo's room or across my room, in Sophie's, maybe soon, next door, in Laylee's too].

i also would like to say thousands and millions thanks to Mama for dumping me at the Library every Sunday morning when i was a still a little girl, and let me grew with this great passion for reading and interest in books [have yet to transfer that interest into reading more academic stuff..ehek].
