Buona Sera!

Hi! I'm very honored to introduce this blog's third base camp which is in--drumroll--Milano, Italy! Unbelievable and crazy right? Suddenly this blog just went places. This boring blog. Anyway, I celebrated by staying at home watching two movies back to back (if you're wondering, they're The Rover and Chef) while also accomplishing my first laundry and eating lunch. I know what you must've been thinking: man, this is one lazy Asian over here.

So, good points: new experiences, new friends, all of those new things right?
Bad points: dubbed cinemas and unfriendly locals.

Say whaatt? Dubbed cinemas?
Yep, while the film distribution is pretty good Italian cinema going is a product of the country's history of anti-English/anti-American. Therefore they dubbed all of English-speaking films to their own proud language. They claimed that they have the best dubbers in the world, and from what I've been seeing from the Italian version of trailers, it's true. But fuck that, come on. We're in one of the most famous cities in the world and you can't find an English speaking cinema? Yes you can apparently, but the movies played in those cinemas are limited and not updated ones. And there are only THREE cinemas playing this lingua originale films. Struggle is not over from Japan, guys. Let me get tickets to Coppa della Stelle or some of that three-worded Italian title of The Fault in Our Stars. There are people who needs to watch Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Guardians of the Galaxy in English here.
