This one's the first... we went to Plaza Indonesia where all the Guccis, D&Gs, Louis Vuittons are. This mall is considered the most exquisite and the most expensive out of all the malls in JKT. When you walk into this mall you can see how high-class this place really is. Me and my aunty just went to this mall because it has an adjoining mall which is a completely different mall but you can walk to it through this mall. I think this other one is called EX an abbrev. for Entertainment X-enter or sumthin' dunno... it is also considered high-class and don't start talking that I bought anything at this mall (they're too expensive for me, a humble peasant) but my aunty treat me to the exclusive cinema. She's been boasting about it since she stepped foot onto that red carpeted hall and walk through into a big gold class seats etc etc. Apparently she got free tickets from her relatives and so she went (this is about her first time there, I wasn't there) with her kids. And since then because she's been boasting about it a lot I sorta want to go but then again I know how expensive the seats are so I let it go ^--^ hehehe... but then we went to Plaza Indonesia and she asked me if I wanna go! OF COURSE LA! But I can't exactly say that!
So we walked in and the cinema, which is called the Premiere, is actually separate from the normal cinemas (so that means Gold Class is in separate place) It's quite secluded but all in all you can pretty much see that the place is rather err... exclusive... sorta... I have no other words to say it ^--^ hehe... so we went in and it feels like you're booking a flight ticket at a Qantas office coz the woman is not behind a glass but rather sat in front a comp and there are two seats for the buyer... ok that was really vague... anyway
There was two options to the movie, it was either King Kong or Derailed. We picked Derailed (am not going to talk about the movie just yet) just because Memoirs of a Geisha's not out yet (pity... I think the next day after that the movie was on *shucks) We had a few hours still lingering by so we just walk around the mall... and when it's time... imagine... a red carpeted hall,,, a waiting room... with luxurious chairs and when we sat down THEY GAVE US A MENU! And imagine my surprise when I saw that Fried Rice was on the menu PLUS my aunty said that their fried rice is DELICIOUS~! ooo I gotta have one... and so the movie was nearly on and so we went in... ARGH!! It was soo comfortable and it's one of those chairs that have the leg attachment to it... hmm... I dunno what it's called... but anyway... IT WAS SOO COMFORTABLE! And the food was awesome too! They're delicious~!
Although the price was Rp 125.000 which is about A$16 which is relatively the same price as the regular seats but in this currency they're a hell lot expensive! I know I know compared to the Gold Class in Oz which counts for about $50 I think but I'm not sure... close enough... They're pretty cheap I guess...
Anyways... I have to give The Premiere in EX a score of 4.5 out of 5! I know... maybe I sound too generous but honestly... It was that good... especially for a first time luxurious cinematic experience!
Second, me and my aunty wanted to watch Memoirs of a Geisha soo much that we went again to another err... cinema... It's actually similar to The Premiere but... a hell lot cheaper, the seats cost only Rp 70,000. But anyways it wasn't much to talk about The Premiere is a hell lot better than this though... so I'm not gonna talk about this one just show you the images..
Hehehehe when I went to both cinemas I quickly took pics with my mobile so it wasn't as high quality.
And on both occasions there are actually only 4 people watching... us two and other two customers hehehehe.... it was pretty small though... (I meant the theater)
Anyways... here are the photos
(left, first) This one's from the waiting room inside the Premiere

I'd love to experience Gold Class. So would my mum, that's an idea for a birthday present! I go to the movies all the time with her so it would be something good to do. I didn't know it was so expensive here though. Hehehe Gold Class in Indo seems dirt cheap compared to here.
The female leads in Memoirs of a Geisha still bothers me, but Ken watanabe is in it. I'm glad they chose him, but I think the fact that he is probably the only recognisable Japanese actor out there that has recently acted in American films (Last Samurai, Batman Begins) might be partially why he got the role if you follow the pattern as to why those actresses were chosen for the leads. Those 2 chinese actresses play the leads in so many movies together. I don't think that Ziyi Zhang is a particularly great actress.
I'm so critical and I haven't even seen the movie yet. I'm so glad Watanabe is in it, he's so cool.
Btw, your pictures from your mobile are really good! Even that second cheaper cinema looked high-class compared to the cinemas in this country. Ofcourse I'm not comparing it to Gold Class.
hahaha yeah if you're going to compare it to here it would be dirt cheap ^--^ but unfortunately there's none over there so why don't you come back to Indo next year?!? heh?!? hehehe that's an idea. Then I could show you all the malls in JKT while you show me around Bandung! Hehehe that's just an idea ^--^
well actually the second cheaper cinema looked as high class as the higher rate one but err... trust me the seats are not as comfortable and the blankets are stinky... so basically it was damn well below the service in the higher rate one...
zhang ziyi shits me. i dont think shes a good actress either. shes kind of like the mischa barton of china or hong kong or wherever shes from to me. and she was nominated for a golden globe?! please! thats almost as mind-baffling as kiera knightley for pride and prejudice.
michelle yeoh i can handle for some reason. but the fact that theyre both supposed to be japanese in this movies just blows my mind. like "i need an asian for my next film memoirs of a geisha. whats the name of that chick in crouching tiger hidden dragon?" "which one?" "oh yeah there were two eh? call them, they sound good".
*blows raspberry*
wow... that maybe is close to how they chose the cast Kimmie hehehehe... hmmm but I still think she is better than Mischa Barton at acting though ^--^ a bit hehehehe... have you seen it yet though?
They were NOMINATED? for GOLDEN GLOBE?!? BOTH OF THEM!?! OMG! and btw no I didn't see the Golden Globe Award thingo... I don't particularly like watching award ceremonies they bore me sometimes -__-
but still... both KIERA and ZHANG ZIYI got NOMINATED?!? what the heck?!?
