Avengers and Shawarma

They should recover all prints domestically and scotch tape this reel. 

They should also show whether the Shawarma is beef, chicken, salmon, with cheese, with fries, extra onions, etc.

Talampunay got promoted today.

She has come a long way since 2007, but she more than deserves it.

There is truly no substitute to hard work and that sense of responsibility.

A million congrats.

That's my secret; I'm always angry.

The movie is perfection demonstrated.

On the other hand, I would have liked it more if Mark Ruffalo (or was it Lou Ferrigno?) said... "I'm aaalllwayyysss anggrryyy... nnggraaaah" before hitting that gargantuan leviathan snake robot, but that's just my stupid personal nitpicky preference.

Also no need to nitpick the small things like:
--the absence of a backstory for hawkeye (i have no problem adding 15 minutes more to the movie to have this).
--that emotional moment when stark is taking the missile outer space, while pepper is calling, the movie could have squeezed more emotional juice out of the scene before rushing to end it for laughs.

We just need to highlight the real highs of the movie, like the brilliant management of time, exposure, and story.
--cap got to do his running and jumping over cars and commanding and giving orders
--thor hammerin
--even black widow had her day in the sun. brilliant acting on the scene where she thought hulk was about to flare out. Johannson fantabulously acting with just her eyeball to show fear... what do you call that?
--mark ruffalo as hulk deserves his own movie. i liked the cool-headed type when human, really angry and punching and breaking everything when he's hulk. Puny God!
--nick fury got to do his bureaucrat spy facet thing. samuel jackson is seriously embodying his role.
Brilliant turns, dialogues. The innovation of comics is fused in moving picture through the retorts and transition.
--humor in between seriousness. not everyone can balance this.
--pepper potts added to still have that leading lady thing in the movie.
--the ending of them parting ways seems like a gang who finished an operation. fantabulous.

Tremendous 'management' work I can imagine done by Producer Kevin Feige. He was able to execute everything from as far back as the first Iron Man movie in 2012. I can not imagine how hard the negotiation (in person, through phone, through agents) that was done to make this movie happen.

Brilliant, fulfilled the hype, masterful, true to form, honest to the material, what more can we say?

We have to watch it again in non-3D.

Groupon copy

Example of Groupon copy:

Egg hunting is innate to all human beings as before fetuses are even developed, humans in their sperm form race ceaselessly towards the ultimate source of all life. Celebrate birth and rebirth with today’s Groupon to Kiddie-Party.com.


I can also write like that:

Earwax are not really wax, but a big inconvenience. But on the other  hand it can also serve as high art. Try it:  dont clean your ears for two months. no qtips no ear cleaner,. you will see... when you removed your new earbuds from a day long enjoyment of Aerosmith, there will be abstract painting all over your rubber earbuds. It will resemble a cloud of yellowish glistening nirvana. Buy new earbuds as new immaculate new canvasses to your moldy art in groupon's...

Groupon copywriters must be doodling all morning, sleeping during lunch, then writing doodles again until 12mn.... well similar to what most office workers do today, essentially.  

There are so many things painfully awkward in this picture

Overpackaging

Step 1. Get scissors, open quartery packaging. The plastic bag that was sealed in olden times by folding the plastic edge and passing it on a lighted candle. Many fingers are coated by hot plastic in those days. 

Step 2: Carefully get one piece from the bunch.Make sure you get only one, so as not to be tempted to go over your daily calorie intake. 

 Step 3. Carefully pull the edge of the tertiary packaging, a green cellophane. Do not pull too hard or the soft candy will be deformed and lose its attractiveness, according to the obsessive-compulsives.

Step 4: Open the whole package. and be surprised by the spring-like recoil of the two other packaging inside.

Step 5: You suddenly think about how three packaging materials were force-folded. The materials' natural form is in sheets, not rolls. You are surprised that there is still one plastic before the product. So, two plastics, sandwiching a white paper. You wonder about the functional purpose of each three packaging material. 

Step 6: You simultaneously think about the man-hours wasted wrapping the small thing, cutting the cellophane and paper to size. and that the cost is also multiplied because of the extra manufacturing process. 

Step 7. You also say that that all these are probably a complete waste, given a product that will be consumed in one loading... youre about to ramble complaints, but then you notice how your hand, in all its dryness, look old.  

Step 8, You just decide to take a bite, it's all right.

Step 9, Then you appreciate the tastiness of yema made from pure carabao's milk. As Dora the Explorer's backpack says, "Delicioso!"

[TUNGKOL SA NAPIPINTONG SHOOTING NG BOURNE ULTIMATUM SA KAMAYNILAAN]

Dear MMDA Chairman Tolentino:

MGA DAPAT GAWIN:

1. Magbantay laban sa mga mandurukot at isnatser dyan sa Malibay.

2. Maglagay ng paskel sa mga matarapik sa EDSA. Dapat may picture ni Renner at Weisz na “Paumanhin po, nag-su-shooting lang!” Maiintindihan agad yan ng mga pinoy.

3. Yung mga MMDA dyan sa rotunda na mukhang mga goon (o mga goon talaga sa lakas mangikil), pag-bakasyunin na muna.  

4. KIlala si Tony Gilroy sa sangkatutak na takes, hayaan na lamang lumampas sa oras nang konti ang mga shoot.  

5. Hayaang pasabugin ang himpilan ng pulis dyan sa Pasay at sila ang paglinisin at pagsementuhin muli ng bilding. Ispreyan na rin sila ng mga ligaw na bala kunwari. Kailangan yan ng istorya.

6. Sa Navotas, maigi mag-shooting dyan. Hayaan ang mga artista na malansahan. Idaan na rin sa Payatas. Matindi yan kung magpapagulung-gulong ang bida sa plastic, o lalangoy sa dagat ng basura, o magtatago sa bundok tapos babaril na parang si Owen Wilson.

7. Magdasal na wag umulan (kung di naman kailangan ng ulan).

8. Yung mga magtuturon na masarap magluto ng turon, hayaang magtinda sa set. Patok ang turon sa mga dayuhan.

9. Si Edward Norton, pansinin din. Mahusay yan sa American History X. Magugustuhan yan ng mga taga-Tundo.

10. Isama na sana ang Caloocan at Malabon. Walang kabuhay-buhay ang mga lugar namin na ito. Ituloy ang shooting maski bumaha.

 MGA DI DAPAT

1. Huwag hahayaang umepal ang mga taga FAP, CBCP, si Manoling, magkaron man ng matitinding bayolenteng eksena, magkaron man ng sex scene o barilan sa gitna ng Baclaran.

2. Huwag magpinta ng kalburo

3. Yung mga lubak, was masyado malalalim.

4. Huwag na mag-ayos ng courtesy call kay Pnoy. Huwag sila pilitin.

5. Kung sang hotel nakalagak ang mga artista, wag na i-pa-TV-patrol pa.

6. Huwag na pakialaman sana ng mga cineaste/selection_committee ng mmff.

7. Huwag ipainterbyu kay Boy Abunda ang kahit sino na bumubuo ng pelikula. Si Jessica na lang.

8. Hindi na kailangang dalhin sa high-class na bar para makinig ng music. Makikita na Renner na kahit ang maliliit na inuman sa gilid-gilid, maayos ang mga banda.

9. Huwag nang pilitin kumain nang balot kung ayaw. Sisig na lang para sumakit ang batok at mag-overstay.

10. Huwag aalukin si Jeremy Renner ng libreng masahe sa Flight 168 o sa Palacio don Pedro. Bagamat babalik-balikan nya tyang ang mga lugar na ito, magiging patotoo lang sa sinabi ni Amb. Tomas ang lahat.

Happy 2012!

Live life like it's the end of the world!

Stupid Promo from Citibank

Or rather, the people who are availing this are stupid! Citibank is a first class duper.

Watdapak Movie

Imadyinin mo na lang kung ipapalabas ito sa Pilipinas.

Ang mga bishop siguro ay lalabas ang lahat ng ugat sa leeg sa panggagalaiti, at ang mga pari ay uutusang kumalat sa lahat ng teatro at babasbasan ang mga nanuod pagkalabas ng sinehan. May rebyu na kaya nito?

Ito ang isang rebyu.
