G.I. is a joke.
EVERYONE! Northpoint has extended and now we’ve got Pastamania! Manhatten Fish Market! Seoul Garden! Breeks! and many more F&B outlets!
BETTER FOOD, MORE FATS!
BUT! Instead of satisfying my palate at the abovementioned outlets, I had my dinner at the Eighteen Chefs located at Yishun GV.

In case, you have not heard about them…
Eighteen Chefs is the eatery that takes in ex-convicts during their last few weeks of sentence and provides them with the opportunity to hone their culinary skill for a career in the F&B industry. Indeed, it is not just another eatery that serves only food…but also heart-warming meanings attached to it.
Read more.
Mr. GVM had the DIY meal of Japanese curry cheese baked rice, minced beef and pan-grilled fish with garlic bread, soft drink and soup of the day that cost about $16. Whereas I had the Seafood Marinara with soft drink and soup of the day that cost around $15. I liked Mr. GVM’s DIY meal better honestly ‘cause the seafood marinara tasted kind of normal. We finished them all! Shows that either we are too hungry or the food is good! =)
Now you see it…Now you don’t!
Okay, then with the ample time after the dinner, we managed to catch the long-awaited movie (this is only applicable to MR. GVM) “G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra”.
I know we are pretty SLOW. But after watching it, it doesn’t really matter to me. I personally feel that we could have just given it a MISS. Not that I totally dislike the movie, I think that it is value for money to watch such costly Hollywood effects. BUT NOTE: I MEAN ONLY THE EFFECTS.
Sorry to say, the plot stinks upside down!
Perhaps, you could be questioning my ability of understanding, because I couldn’t understand 90% of the plot! Or rather, I don’t think it seemed logical! Too much Hollywood stereotypes and discrimination that I can’t stand.
Below is the list of my grudges to justify why the flick stinks:
- Take revenge for your great great great grandfather who was “humiliated” by being encased with a mask about 300 years ago and hence, build unbelievably strong weapons to attack countries and people in the present year who has totally no idea nor fucking care about the humiliation of your ancestor
- How much did McCullen pay Rex to make him do all these kind of stupid things? Why is he such a genius to the extent of killing his sister who cares so much about him?
- Who is this Zartan guy? What is he supposed to do?
- Hollywood stereotype no. 1 = Chinese/Korean/Japanese equals oriental. We do not need to differentiate them and that’s why Hollywood will always get Korean to act as Japanese or Chinese as Japanese. Whatever?
- I should be 99% wrong! But I thought the small “Japanese” boy was speaking in Korean. HAHA!
- Hollywood stereotype no. 2 = Japanese = Samurais or Ninjas. They all use flying darts and carry two ninja swords with them.
- Hollywood stereotype no. 3 = Black heroes are born comedians and they never stop talking too much.
- The super high-tech military squad uses “Norton Anti-virus”. I know I’m not expertise to comment much but I remembered how my Norton anti-virus could not detect and remove certain trojans and spyware. =( My one should be pirated copy..HAHA! But of course, these names including Cisco are the ones that sponsor those costly effects in the show =D CHEERS!
- Why Ana can suddenly recall so much things about Duke?
- The jokes aren’t funny.
- If I were young Lee Byung-hun, I will also stab the Master upside down. DAMN! He won that ang moh so many times and when the ang moh won one time..then he is no. 1? What logic? Or is Hollywood telling us ANG MOH IS GREAT? Racist.
- The 2 bad guys were too easy to capture. What a turn off!
It’s kinda late, that’s why I shall stop whining. But of course, movies are meant for entertainment right! So why bother so much? It’s just that I can’t take it when these Hollywood productions treat us like idiots. Anyway! Don’t take it too seriously, you can still go to take a look at their advanced film technologies! And the above is just my perspective and comments to provide you with an alternate entertainment. HEHE!
Off to bed. NIGHTS!
