Online Ticketing - 20090822

"The Hangover" will be watched this afternoon.

Nobody would openly admitted that this type of film is their cup of tea, unless childish and naivety become chic. Still, if the film could give you a good laugh, it should be fine. As we can see, all the maestros have gone . . . Bergman, Antonioni, Fellini . . . so nobody would laugh at anybody for their taste of movie.

Tickets are bought online. I, as an oldie, who is too lazy to pick up the new technology, has refused to click mouse instead of line up until today.

There is no doubt that e-ticketing is a super convenience. By pressing the left button of mouse several times, the tickets are virtually in your pocket for no longer than 2 minutes. Once the first time has been completed, I am sure that nobody would go to buy tickets in person anymore, especially the staff over the sales counter is as robotic as your computer.

Back to the day when Internet is not as essential as water, waiting in the row is inevitable for the tickets. It explains why old films always seem better than new ones, as waiting itself makes everything more valuable. When you were in love then, you wait, not only for the tickets, but also for your dream one, to be realized as the one sitting next to you. Now, through e-ticketing, everything could be dumped easily. Just by double-clicking the recycling bin, and a mere "yes" for confirmation, it's gone, as "love".
