Tora! Tora! Tora!

Stef is currently in Perth for a week-long conference. Actually, the conference is just three days but she'll be spending the rest of the week there touring. That means there's just Dan and myself left in Sydney over the last weekend. So we did on a movie marathon of sorts.

For one, I got him really interested in Memento. I had bought its DVD some time back and had lent it to him. With his wifey not around starting last Friday, he finally got down to watching it.

“本來我開始看的時侯是有點兒昏昏沉沉的。可是越看就越有勁，精神起來了。這電影蠻有意思的。有些部分我還倒回去再看一遍。”

We ended up discussing the movie, even replaying some scenes to clarify our doubts about the storyline.

We finally got down to "business" after dinner on Saturday evening, starting on those DVDs we've rented from Blockbuster. By Sunday night, we had watched five movies. The pick of the lot was undoubtedly Tora! Tora! Tora! This despite it being more than 35 years old now.

Whilst watching it, I can't help but recall what a crap movie Pearl Harbour was. Now with Tora to compare with, it felt even crappier! Especially considering Tora's age and Pearl's production budget.

Incidentally, today is the 64th anniversary of the Pearl Harbour raid.

114 days to go.
