The Golden Army

Finally, today I watched Hellboy & the Golden Army. After a long waiting, this Saturday is it then.
I went to Citos 21 to watch this movie with Will. Will is my friend, old friend.
Well, I say old here because we knew each other since we're 8. So, at first, we're agreed on going to Hollywood 21. But since we can't catch up with the present time, so we decided imperiously to go to Citos 21. I really hate this change of plan. Since it's so last minute.

So, I was waiting for a cab in front of my house at 2 while the movie start at 2.45. It's so damn late.
I was very worried that I can't catch up with the movie. I waited for half hour, and I can't believe how hard it was to find an empty cab around here.
So, I finally grab anything I can get. I go with this lame cab, already asked the driver to drive faster. But, it doesn't seem to encourage him to move faster. Or maybe it's the car.

I finally arrived at Citos, still safe, but not much time to relax. In fact, I have to hurry and ran directly to the theater. This is embarrassing. I ran through the cafe hall at the basement floor. Damn. Whatever.

When I finally arrived by the theater door, Will's already waited for me with a bottle of mineral water he prepared for me. Thank God. No time to waste, we go in to the theater, and the movie hasn't started yet. I gave myself a quick sip for the mineral water. And the movie started.

The movie? It was great. I really like how Guillermo del Torro directed this movie. It's well-related to the fairy tale. So many great concept of those fairy creature. CG is nicely done, costume and make up were great. I like the concept of the market and the angel of death. Watching it really amuse me from the beginning to the end.

Done with the movie, we seek for some grub to eat. I randomly picked Fish&Co, which is later come to me as a regretful decision. The food is fine, it's actually good taste and big portion. Well, it is good but it's fish, and fish tasted the same when you deep-fried it in flour. Tasted kinda like McD fille-o-fish. The price, I spent 59.000 for the food, fish and chips and 19.000 for refillable blackcurrant tea. And when the bill came, we spent about 100.000 on each of us, including the tax and service fee of course.

I ate the whole massive portion while Will only ate half of them. During the movie, he ate some bread because he's sleepy. Doing so (eating) keeps him awake or at least keeps him busy. That's makes him quite full. But it kinda makes me looked like I'm a glutton. It embarrassed me!

Well, at the end of the day, we went home at around 7 or so.
I enjoyed it, the movie, the food, the company.
This is me signing off. See u in the next post.
