Kung Fu Panda (2008) and I

Can you believe what happened yesterday? I was in a bookstore and after flipping through Allure U.S. December 2008 (Covergirl: Actress Scarlett Johansson by Tom Munro) and Glamour Italia December 2008 (Covergirl: Russian model Anne Vyalitsyna by Fabio Chizzola), I came across the music and film section and I was immediately stopped and hypnotised by the action going on in the film “Kung Fu Panda” (2008) displayed on the large hi-resolution flat screen TV in the store. There was nothing else I could do to fight the irresistible temptation but to sit down submissively and watch the entire film as if under a powerful spell inable to be freed…

As the credit rolled in a continuous rhythm, I came back to my senses and realised that I behaved like one of those old man and little kids who hang outside the Fortress store [1] watching movies on the latest television built with a pack of hyper-high-tech features offered for sales whilst waiting for their wives or mums, who are conquering the other oh-so-gentle ladies/warriors in the changeroom or in a simulated field of war in the quest of hunting for the best bargins.

I am surely no kid anymore, so… have I grown into an old man?

Endnote:

[1] Fortress is a popular leading retailer of electrical appliances in Hong Kong with around 50 outlets (Statistic dated 2008) employing more than 1,000 staff. It is a part of the Hutchison Whampoa Group owned by Li Ka-shing.
