Today was the day before Eid Al-Adha and all of Ramallah was out. How did I spend my evening? Reem and I checked out the Chinese restaurant on Rukab Street (yes... everything seems to be on Rukab Street) and then we headed home to fight, first with an LCD projector and then with a shifty laptop, in order to watch a movie that Said (the one who talks too fast, not the other one.. both are shway majnoon though) picked out in lieu of The Godfather. You might think that if The Godfather is out, you'd get Goodfellas or Scarface, but no, Said, never having been to the US and not as seasoned as many Western movie-goers, picked out Miami Vice. So I spent night before Eid eating Chinese food while listening to Dabke music, and watching bad American cinema while eating boycotted Israeli potato chips.
shway majnoon = a little crazy

That movie is the worst I've seen in years: shot on shitty hi-def video, unnecessarily bloody, and the acting is so weird and ad-libbed that you can practically hear the director's head fall into his hands like "What have I done?".
