I miss the old days when I used to watch a lot of movies on television with my mother. We used to stay up late watching movie programs on television such as Layar Emas on RCTI, Selasa Drama, Rabu Misteri, Kamis Futuristis on SCTV. I remember such movie we watched like Halloween, Poltergeist, Mommy Dearest, American Ninja, Princess Caraboo, Total Recall, Flight of the Navigator, The Last Emperor and lots of drama movies that I can’t remember now. Even when the economic crisis strike, and local television found a hard time to import such Hollywood movies, I still manage to show her some good movies on VCD.
I even remember the time when she take me and my brother to the movie theater to watch such movies like Ace Ventura and Street Fighter. For Street Fighter it’s actually more likely that we take her.
But now sinetron has grown to numerous. And my mother keep watching stuff that I really hate. She even manage to have parabola so she can watch foreign TV programme where they only speak Taiwanese. Now, it’s hard for me to find a good times to spend time with my mother like the old time when we watches lots of good movies. Even American Ninja.
