Guess what peeps. The blog heading says it all! And it's true too. Why? Well, first of all..





Rise: Blood Hunter staring Lucy Liu. Picture this:


Movie dialogue & special effects aside, the cinema's all silent with intent viewers. Lucy Liu is dangling upside down, her ankles bound by rope. She is naked, but the darkness envelopes her body, making it impossible to gourge anything but a faint outline of her curves. Then suddenly, the faintest glimmer of light! And behold! Lucy Liu's breasts exposed on wide screen in Malaysian cinema! I repeat, Malaysian cinema! Ok, I prolly sounds super jackun but hey, I was stunned you know! And so were the other viewers. You could tell by the soft gasps echoing throughout the cinema. But the best reaction which summed up everyone elses was definately Sze Keat's. Mouth slightly agape, eyes wide, & popcorn still in hand, it took several minutes for him to come back to earth before saying, "Wow, 11 bucks well worth spent!" XD




Secondly,


RUSH HOUR 3 staring Jackie Chan & Chris Tucker

Just let me say this before anything else.. It was my first time watching a Jackie Chan flick in more than 3 years! Those of u who know me well will know my reasons.. =p But it was pretty hilarious! Anywaaay, there was this one bit where Jackie Chan & Chris were kickin ass in a caberet show & girls in skimpy outfits were jingling around. The ironic thing is that I saw my second pair of breasts in a Malaysian cinema with Sze Keat. We immediately exclaimed together at the same time before bursting into peals of laughter. And this time, the movie was rated U!




Conclusion:

Has the Malaysian censorshipboard loosened up about sexuality? They never used to miss the slightest opportunity to snip out 'lust provocating' scenes or tiniest hints of human genitalia. Anyway, I think it's great (not just for the guys) but because it's really nothing when you come to think about it. Naked body mah naked body lo.. Why does everything have to be so narrow when it comes to nudity? I say let the children be exposed so they wont jump at it when exposed later on ^_^
