The problem with watching a feel-good independent movie is that sometimes, you'd end up not feeling good at all. This of course explains my aversion to that Oprah-inspired, Helen Hunt starrer Pay It Forward.
I won't even tell you the title of the movie. Bad acting, boring and corny script, excessive sentimentality, and not to mention that aside from having only three characters, the movie seemed like it was made under 50 bucks. It was sooo bad it broke through the other side and became profound: this viewing experience induced me to go into a zen-like trance.
So why did I watch it? I downloaded the movie from the internet, I thought it was really interesting, the trailer appeared like it was. The thing is, my broadband connection took me several hours. You see, I went through all that trouble, so to make sure that all my efforts didn't go to waste, I sat through the damn thing for more than an hour, which, for crying out loud, turned out to be a mini-crying festival. I've been flogging myself mentally for wasting precious time and electricity.

I know, I need to "charge it to experience", hoping never to repeat the same mistake in the future.
