tropic thunder

We watched tropic thunder yesterday. Not your usual spoof owed mainly to the fact that the cast is a powerhouse. Let me just say that Robert Downey Jr. is amazing. How he could do that African-American accent is weird--there are times when I forgot he's not black. And I didn't even recognize Tom Cruise at first. Sa iyang pagka siya. hehehe

I don't know ha, but all Mr. Tanduay's quoatable quotes nowadays are made before, during or after a movie. Anyway, I went into the movie worrying about money napd. Because I went to Bacolod with nothing but a one way fare's worth of money and nothing else and I had to let Mr. Tanduay pay for everything. Which, as you know, is not such a comfortable thing to do for most of us who are used to paying for ourselves (sometimes even our freeloading boyfriends of yester years). So I was deep in thought before the movie started thinking about how shitty it is not to have your own money in your pocket when...

Mr. Tanduay: O what's wrong? What are you thinking about?
Me: Money.
Mr. Tanduay: Stop it... Stop worrying about money. I want you to enjoy the movie.

silence...

Mr. Tanduay: (puts his arm around me) Babe, let me take care of you sometimes...

I guess I should. But when you're taking care of yourself too long, it takes some getting used to to let someone else.
