My Willard review
Not wanting to be holed up in my apartment all day, I decided to see Willard. Not feeling up to walking to the theater, I decided that I'd take that I'd take the bus. On the bus, I saw this Taiwanese girl that was sitting all alone, so I decided to sit near her and stroke up some conversation. Turns out that her name was Mai and she too was going to the movie theater. I asked her if she was going with someone and it turned out that no, she was going alone. After we got off the bus and proceeded to walk to the theater, I asked her if she was willing to see Willard with me and she agreed. We talked until we the show started, getting to know each other. Turns out that she was a student at the college's ESL program and that she was staying there until the end of March, where afterwards she'd go to Medicine Hat (apperently, it's the vortex where all the girls that I'm interested flock to). She was studying there to better her English, although it wasn't the only language that she spoke. She could speak Cantonese, Mandrin and some Japanese. After the show, she and I went for a drink, and chatted some more, but she had to leave abruptly to do some stuff at the college. A communication problem, basically. It caught me off guard so much that I neglected to get her phone number. Alas.

On the bright side, I'll be filming in town on Tuesday at the ESL center. Who knows. Maybe I'll see her during the shoot.

Willard? It was a decent movie. Fantastic acting by Glover and a kickass score by the imcomparable Shirley Walker. It seemed like Tim Burton lite. Very tragic. Good stuff.
