Last Saturday night was quite an exciting one.

My homies and I went out to catch Kung Fu Hustle [KFH] at the Mines. On the way, we had to take a U-turn. Syafiq noticed the car ahead of us in the U-turn lane. I saw that it was slowing down, but I didn’t see any brake light. Suddenly, car came to halt and jerked upwards a bit.

“Harram,..accident sial!”

We stopped by to see that the Wira rammed right into the road divider, mashing the hood until just a few centimeters away from the front wheel. Out stepped a dazed-looking woman from the back seat with a kid. I rolled down my window and offered to call a foreman or any emergency help. It looked like nobody was badly hurt, so the woman simply asked us to send her home, which is less than a few minutes drive from the scene.

Here comes the interesting part, in less than a minute of the crash, a foreman reached the scene, calling up his tow truck and workshop. It’s like he KNEW there was going to be an accident. As to why the dude crashed, I could confirm one thing.

The moment the car doors opened, a powerful scent of liquor burst into the air. The simplest thing I could think of is that it’s Christmas dinner with the family, the adults get drunk, and the drunk idiot decided to drive home. He did let go of the gas when he reached that U-turn, but I think instead of braking, he floored the gas again.

Damn, all the more reason for me to stay away from liquor.

Anyway, we managed to reach the cinema without losing too much time, since the woman’s house was on the way. Unfortunately, KFH was full, and since all of us have watched Meet The Parents, we agreed to watch its sequel Meet The Fockers [MTF].

Ben Stiller is godly in this one. So was De Niro. But what surprised me the most, is that I never thought Dustin Hoffman could be so fucking funny. I’ve had many laughs on movies this whole year, but MTF definitely made them look like worms. Even the first few minutes of the movie had the audience laughing.

In case you haven’t watched it yet, Meet The Parents is the story where Stiller plays a man who is tasked to meet with his girlfriend’s Dad, played by De Niro. The catch is, Stiller is a male nurse, and De Niro is a CIA Retiree, and this old man has established a ‘Circle of Trust’ and only family members are let in. In order to have the daughter’s hand in marriage, Stiller had to earn his place in that circle. Lots of funny shit happened in that one and there was a happy ending.

In MTF, Stiller is now engaged to De Niro’s daughter, and it’s their turn to meet Stiller’s parents, Mr. Focker [Hoffman] and Mrs. Focker, who happen to be complete opposites of De Niro. A clash of lifestyle and ideals lead to a handful of disasters and plenty of laughs. One of them being De Niro’s cat, Mr. Jinx vs Hoffman’s dog, Moses. Jinx outsmarted Moses into jumping into De Niro’s motorhome toilet and flushed him down right in front of a horror-stricken Hoffman. The sight of his pet washed down the loo made him scream:

‘JESUS! MOSES!~’

I hurt my stomach laughing, and a few guys behind me choked.

I must urge you to watch this movie. It makes for a great movie date or justwith buddies. Watching it alone would be a waste. Well, I guess that’s it for the weekend. Maybe I’ll have one last post right before the new year :)
