The Streets

I watched Step Up 2 and I really liked it. A lot of people say it's predictable, and it is, but hey you knew the ship's gonna sink anyway but you still watched Titanic.

When I got out of the cinema I had this irresistible urge to break into a freaking break dance number. It didn't help that my ears were hooked to my ipod and Jay-Z was playing. Suddenly I was felt like I could do the head spin and all the people around will see me dancing and they'd, like, join in the fun. Like some Bollywood movie, only with b-boying instead of belly dancing. But haha, my friends would immediately tell you that ain't really my style.

This isn't the first time that this kind of crap gets into my head after watching a movie. I'm like a kid whose fantasies still run wild. After watching X-Men The Movie I came out of the cinema wanting to move things with my mind. With Terminator, I was secretly hoping I would discover I was actually a cyborg and the fate of the world was in my hands. With 300, well, go ahead and figure. (Back in the 80's there was also this cartoon show called Visionaries, and I was a huge fan. It was about these two groups of superheroes that could transform into powerful animals whose images appear on their armor chest. Back then I was always drawing something on a bond paper and sticking it to my chest in the hope of producing my own transformation. And speaking of transforming, don't even get me started about Transformers!)

I bet though that I'm not the only one. Oh come on, don't tell me a year ago you weren't wishing you were Fantastic # 5. Or that you went to a school of witchcraft and wizardry.

I guess deep down we are little boys and girls still full of enormous dreams we can't let go just yet.
