Hello But Not Goodbye
Saturday, March 31, 2007
i know i haven't, like, posted in nearly, erm, three months or so, except for that Joie article. sigh! i miss her so much. i miss talking to her. well, at least, she's our angel. :)
anyway, busy, busy, busy. my brain's been racked and whacked and gone haywire for the past few weeks. hahaha!! i want to destress nw by writing another poem for Joie. haha! i haven't even started to write the first word! also, i want to write about how some Filipinos, critics and prdinary people alike, look like idiots!
well, it's that just, they don't like films where they will keep you guessing until the end. many Filipinos like films that are formulaic, films that you really know what the ending is based on the plot of the film. sigh! idiocy! that's idiocy!! i like films where i don't really know what the outcome will be, films that will make me think! an example is Scoop (okay! i know that Hugh Jackman is in that movie but Woody Allen is really one brilliant director!). that movie kept me guessing who the fucking killer and then, i find out that it was...
okay i won't tell, but it did keep me in suspense. another one is Premonition. cheesy ending, really, i mean, i knew what the last scene will be like, but it kept me guessing how Jim had died and how the days seemed to go helter skelter.
sigh! i know i'm so, i dunno know, bad maybe or un-nationalistic but that's what i see. why don't they like to think? sigh! i like other genres of films, too (oh, yeah. i have like the three X-Men films, the third one in both VCD and DVD, the four Harry Potter films, Sandra Bullock films, Famke Janssen films, Hugh Jackman films, the list goes on), but i like those films where it would make me think.
