soundcheck : Hot Chip - Ready for the Floor The actress struts forward, her eyes cruise from top left to top right corners of her eyeballs; her head in full tow from the motion. Her pupils reach the farthest corners of her eyelids, and it seems as if they bear a weight so immense that she cannot help but tilt her head from side to side as well. With each eye movement, she paces forward. Somewhere in between where she starts pacing and where she comes to rest, she probably places her index finger (doesn't matter which) on her chin. All this while, she's mouthing off something like: "...well, if you win 4-D (the lotto), then we can finally have that honeymoon you've been promising me!" "...since you like her so much, why don't you ask her out? I'm not that important to you anyway." "...Confucius say, girl with bad acting - is girl with pink IC." Who is she saying this to? The male actor who, by the time she finishes her pseudo philosophical strut, should be blurred out and standing a few paces behind her - in the background. What follows? She doesn't turn. She tilts her head sideways, so that it looks like she's pointing at something with her chin. Again, her eyes seem to dictate the movements of her head. What does this strange act signify? The end of what she has to say, and a cue for the male lead to either a) Fly into a speechless rage b) Grab her arm and spin her around for a kiss, right before the credits roll c) Go wide-eyed, point his index finger right at her nose and say 'YOU...' without completing his sentence. So, have things really changed since the last time you watched a local serial about gambling gods (my favourite, by the way) or some guy selling you tiao (completely made up, but bearing a 65% probability of ever having existed)? Maybe not. SURPRISE TITTIES _ spoken. at 9:56 PM |
