Nokia Starlight Cinema 2006: 20 - 30 Sept

Yes, it's a romantic idea: watching movies in the open air on a giant screen while the stars look on. But this is Singapore, where even the nights are muggy and the threat of rain lingers. The Padang isn't the quietest spot on the island either. And $15 per ticket for repeats of Hollywood blockbusters? You've got to be joking.

This whole idea is yet another prime example of the lack of soul in Singaporean ideas.

Nostalgia is a heart-and-soul project. If Nokia thinks it can pull this off (a la Cinema Paradiso), it's got another thing coming.

File under "Strictly for the birds."

Thanks for dropping by!

Hey man, I completely sympathise, but Starlight Cinema isn't just a Singaporean event. It's held in a couple of cities across Asia:

Also, Nokia was not always the sponsor. Stella Artois pumped in money to begin with.
