lean thinking
My colleague Jason elatedly exclaimed this morning that he is going to watch “300″ at the cinema tonight. With his girl. I remarked that it is a waste of money - since a movie that awesome would definitely be subjected to lots of censors and paying 10 bucks (20 if he’s paying for the girl as well) for that kind of travesty would be akin to paying an overpriced blowjob which you’re never going to get. I then told him, why not wait for a full length DVD release which you can later download from the internet - for free - and enjoy it in comfort at your own home? (nothing beats the feeling of watching a movie scratching your own balls with one hand, and a can of chilled beer on the other…)
He then countered me - “It wouldn’t be that fun to watch it alone at home”.
Ahhh, so it’s all about making out inside the cinema. You know, you dupe your target to get interested in going out with you by suggesting to watch a really cool movie… and once she’s led into the dark cinema, she’s all for your taking. Used to be a cool tactic back in the old days when we’ve got nothing much to do at home. But it’s all a different ball game now. Making out inside cinemas is not a ‘cool’ thing anymore. Why? 4 words. Globalization of modern living. Everything is about being efficient nowadays. Lowest cost for the maximum gain.
If you want to get into your girl’s pants, you don’t just squander 20 bucks and a movie to go with it (not inclusive of the exorbitant parking fee and the crappy expensive dinner before the movie). If you want to make out, be fucking serious about it. Do it separately at home or somewhere. You don’t mix the joy of watching movies with kneading tits, licking throat and stroking pubes. If you need to do it anyway, there are actually a few other options you can do to minimize the wastage… like (i’m gonna include point calculation to make it easier to compare…):
a) pay for everything and concentrate to enjoy the movie. Make out later in the park.
You lose :
- 10 bucks for yourself (-1 point)
- 10 bucks for her (-1 point)
- $$ for parking & dinner (-2 points)
You get :
- to enjoy the movie… (+1 point)
- to go into her pants (+2 points)
Total points : -1
b) go on dutch and concentrate to enjoy the movie. Make out later in the park.
You lose :
- 10 bucks for yourself (-1 point)
- $$ for parking and dinner (-2 points)
You get :
- to enjoy the movie… (+1 point)
- to go into her pants (+2 points)
Total points : 0
c) you download the movie, watch it at home with her. If you need to make out, pause the movie and do it for infinite time (you get to have the option to go nekkid as well)
You lose :
- Nothing (+1 point)
You get :
- to enjoy the movie… (+1 point)
- to go into her pants (+1 point)
- scratch your balls (+5 point)
- let her scratch your balls (+10 points)
- to have the freedom to explore every possible ways to make a person attain orgasm (+infinity)
Total points : !!***POINTS OVERLOAD***!!

So, do you people totally see what I’m seeing here? Be prudent. You can reduce your unnecessary spending if you want to.
I get your point about wasting money if censorship has taken out the good bits. But I’ve watched 300 and it’s pretty alright… the censored parts are not much (or not noticeable).
If you’re gonna watch a movie with a girl who’s sure gonna let you screw her, then don’t bother la. Get some porn and make some live porn after.
Michael,
I’m not going to argue about your alternative (cost saving) methods to watch a movie/to make out. I just want to add that 300 is a worthwhile movie….which I watched in the Cinema.
I guess the censorship board had to work overtime…and fell asleep, becuz a lot of scenes (that usually get cut) were shown. There was this scene which lasted about 1 min (didn’t count, could have been more) of Persian Harems (sluts/groupies) were shown.
These harems proudly parade their cleavages during this scene, and I was amazed, not mainly from these ho’s with pierced nipple and chains, but from their leniency/stupidity in letting such scene through.
I don’t know if they have pulled back the movie for more re-potong2, bu t if you would like to find out, spend a few bucks.
BTW. I saw it in TGV KLCC.
errmmm, you guys didn’t get it do ya? I did not say that it’s NOT WORTH watching “300″… what I meant was - it’s not worth paying to see it get censored like no tomorrow… (you wouldn’t know what you missed from the cinema. You’ll always have to find out through the DVD uncut version).
But the whole thing’s not about “300″, really… It’s about how impractical it is to make out inside cinemas in the modern days…
Man, your blog should be banned! Haha.. WTF dei! This kind of things you can also pull off from the air. With reference to my previous comment, my brother reads you as well.
He is vapour-trail.
Agree with Michael 100%. Beside watching DVD at home, any other options propose to us?
i watched 300 in GSC gurney that day …surprisingly …it wasn’t censored …i was quite impressed lol …300 ? I’d watch it again anytime lol
Cheapskate’s Guide to Dating. Vol.1
true true
But, Arsky, how do you KNOW it wasn’t censored? =D
One time my cousins and and friend and I watched “Starship Troopers” (it sucks btw) from a download. During the co-ed locker room scene the friend said “I don’t remember seeing this part when I watched it in Malaysia…”
DOH!
To watch the full un-cut clear DVD version, you’ll need to wait a month or two..that would be soooo long. Everyone will be talking bout it, by the time you got your DVD, you’ve heard 80% of the storyline from your friends.. lol.
dr.tan - You do mean his nick is “vapour-trail”, right?
seremban engineer - Go to the beach or something… there’s so many romantic things we can do on a date besides spending money to watch a movie… right?
arsky - How do you know it’s not censored lah? You’ve been gypped dude.
din - There are no such thing as ‘cheapskate’ or ‘dear-skate’ or whatever. There are only 2 category of guys out there in the market - SMART or NOT-SO-SMART.
malcolm - I see you’re picking up things pretty fast, my young padawan.
megabigblur - Yeah. Starship Troopers sucks donkey cock.
Je5sie - Well, you can always steer the topic towards something else. Like about that big bosom girl sitting right across the table… or hey, check out that ass, guys. See?
I’m totally going with option (c). There’s no reason why I should spend more when I can spend almost none to get what I want. xD. It’s not being cheapskate. We should always do things in way which involves least cost and maximum profit. That’s the smart way of doing it. Applies in every single aspects of life.
Cheapskate guys like you ppl who think that going to the cinema and dinner is something of a luxury and shudn’t be done with ur gf/partner are totally wrong. I seriously can’t understand some of u stingy assholes who wan a girl but are just reluctant to spend a little bit more money. 20 BUcks ain’t gonna make u stingy-mongers any richer nor poorer. U guys just have no drive and motivation. Am just fucken sick of failures that tok like that.
james - What? Want a girl but reluctant to spend? I’m married you dumbass! You’re such an ass and you probably don’t even know it yourself. It is not surprising that you need to spend a lot to get yourself a girl (or a seasoned dehydrated aging hooker). That’s because we all can see that you :
a) can’t spell for shits (you’d need a lot of money and charm to offset that disability of yours)
b) think money is everything in your miserable otherwise failing relationships (yeah, that’s because you lacked of character and life)
Just to let you know, you bitch ass motherfucking rookie dickhead - when I started spending for girls, you don’t even have a pimple to begin your puberty with. Spending a couple bills of measly daddy money doesn’t make you a maestro, you dog cunt licking shitbag. I hope you sprain your dick in your next masturbation, loser. And stay out of my blog if you ain’t got something intelligent to say.
hahaha.. i agree with james.
of coz le the part where that guy got his head cut off waas shown
and the hot oracle dancin scene
wahh.. why la this comments turns to be serious battle field?
relax relax…
tarik nafas.. hembus… relax dudes..
Maybe making out in the dark-but-public place is a risque adventure that turns him on. hahahaha. Still, if the movie is going to be subjected to lots of censors, it’s a waste of MONEY to go see it.
But what scenes would need to be censored? I’ve watched it already and there’s no sex scene (okay, maybe just one, but it wasn’t obscene or anything like that). Then…the killings? It’s a war movie about the Spartans! Might as well not play it. haha.
Oh, and I disagree with “arsky”. The oracle dancing scene wasn’t hot, imo. It was more like weird….
I don’t normally go to movies but instead purchase pDVD, not because I cannot afford a movie but because I am fucking tired of the censorship board. Kissing scene is chopped. Battle scene (with a tad bit more blood) is chopped. All our movies in cinema are sex-free (we are damn innocent eh?).
But when I do go to the movie, I will go for Gold Class, the 40 bucks per seat movie.
300 was good, and because it’s rated 18PL, they eased up on the censorship bit a little. I’d recommend you watch it in the cinema because it’s just too awesome to watch at home unless you have a projector screen and your own personal home theatre system.
Maybe becoz I’m in KL and the cinema is down the road (insert evil maniacal laughter here), and the tix cost me 6 bucks a piece on a Wednesday…. that’s why I’m not so fussed up about paying the cost….
dude… guys… how many times have I said that THIS IS NOT about the movie or the cost… It’s about something deeper than that…
If you still can’t get it, nevermind.
Mike:
You’d discounted that there is a possibility that you CANNOT find a parking place for option (a) and (b) which if happens, will be a huge minus points.
