Barrera v.s. Pacquiao II

Siyempre nanood ako ng Barrera v.s. Pacquiao. Ganito yung napanood ko sa local channel:

1. Pagtatapos ng naunang laban.
2. 5 minutes of commercials.
   
3. Introduction of the match.
4. 5 minutes of commercials.
5. Singing of the Mexican national anthem.
6. 5 minutes of commercials.
7. Singing of the Filipino national anthem.
   
8. 5 minutes of commercials.
9. Singing of the American national anthem.
10. 5 minutes of commercials.
11. 12 times
1. Round bout.
2. 5 minutes of commercials.
   

• +85 minutes of commercials. Only +36 minutes of boxing. $$$
  
• Kapag ang laban ni Manny local channel ang magpapalabas, maraming kasabay na mga patalastas para sa mga pangangailangan sa pagpapalaki ng baboy.
• Ang galing ng mag-timing at mag-fake ni Manny. Madali itong makita kapag nanggigigil na ang kalaban.
  
• Grabe naman ang Barrera at nang-cheap shot pa. Naalala ko tuloy si Larios.
• Mas maganda yata mag-pay-per-view nalang para hindi nakakabitin at hindi sayang sa oras.
• May effect talaga ang mga laban ni Pacman sa maraming Pinoy. Pangpawala ng traffic at pangpataas ng morale.

Pagkatapos mag-volunteer, bumili kami ni Emman ng poker chips. Kaya kapag maglalaro ng poker, mas happy.

Gusto ko talaga matikman ang mga 'to...

Movies Watched September 20-23, 2007

I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
Good.

It's a movie about two firemen, Chuck and Larry, who got married because the latter became a single dad and wanted his children to be his beneficiaries in case he dies. Larry was pushed to do it because of a terrible accident that got Chuck and him hospitalized.

It's about the money for the family, breaking the law, and most importantly gay rights. It made me remember this previous entry.

Of course it has sex, violence, and massive advertising. It has boob groping, too. And it's just last week that I (first) saw one in a Hollywood movie. I didn't think that it would be common nowadays. In addition to that, it's a PG-13 movie even if it should have been R-18, so parents beware.

On top of everything is it's humor. It's hilarious. I almost got a locked jaw laughing and smiling all through out the movie. The jokes just kept coming.
It's not meant to be one of the greatest movies of all time, but it works.

Bleach: Memories of Nobody
Good enough.

Another anime movie that is kind of hard to take in.

The movie appears to be a filler. I wouldn't know because I don't watch the series or read the manga. Maybe that's why I didn't appreciate the movie that much. I was able to watch the first episode of the anime, but that was it.

If anything, I liked the sounds, fight scenes and animation. Nothing more though. XD

Permission to land on the moon

Something I learned today.

You don't need a permit to land on the moon. What you need is a permit to launch from Earth.

That is according to this article.

Simply put, it means you have to pay your government to get out of this planet. XD

It's funny because it's related to something like this previous entry.

The next big annoying thing will be real estate on places other than those on Earth.
Prepare for it.

Computer experiences have pictures too

Have you ever seen google in error? I've been using it for around 9 years now and this is the only time that I've seen it in error. I forgot how I got to this screen though.What is the most annoying thing with software?
It's when you want to quit, you can't.

Someone is googling me.
Porny sex? What? Never thought of my blog that way. XD

Movies Watched September 13-16, 2007

Rogue Assassin
Good.
Jet Li turns Mafia. It's nice to see him as an antagonist, because he is absolutely good at it.
Sex, violence, nice cars all around.
Mahirap intindihin sa simula. As in yung violence lang ang makikita. But everything clears up at the end of the movie.
Konti lang yung fight scenes ni Jet Li pero ang galing talaga niya sa laban at pag-arte. Nakakabilib yung facial expression niya. May scenes na wala na nga siyang dialog, maiintindihan pa rin yung ipinapahayag niya. Ang galing. I particularly like his smug expression at a certain scene.
R-13 yung movie pero ang daming scenes na hindi pang 13. Dapat R-18 nalang tapos walang nakakainis na cuts. As in sa sinehan nag-iingay na ko kapag bigla nalang may cut kapag maganda, although very violent, na yung scene. I will re-watch this movie at some time in the future.

Blades of Glory
Good enough.
A story that I could put up with.
Ugly lift effects. As in it is too obvious that there is a rope that helps the actors do their moves.
Massive product advertising. Sex, most notably boob groping, and violence, as always.
It features a skating move that kills. How violent can a skating film get? So I say, it's the most violent figure skating film ever.

Spider-Man 3
Good.
As usual, great fight scenes and special effects.
I loved the drama, which, I think, is one of the reasons why the Spider-Man movies are great. That is other than the fact that it is an "I want to know what happens next" sort of movie.

September 9 is grandparent's day

Happy grandparent's day pala ngayon. Ngayon ko lang nalaman. Sakto lang dahil lumabas at kumain kami kasama ang aking grandma. ^^

Quite Porny

Same old drill. The news shows something porny and I check it out.

Up in the internet is High School Musical's Vanessa Hudgens nude picture.
It's real.
According to some rumors, it's for her boyfriend.
Whatever it is for, it will have a huge impact on the High School Musical stuff.

I'm disappointed, yet again, with the news for showing the picture on T.V.

Just for the record, (defensive as always) I don't watch High School Musical movies.

Second Day, Second Job

Pansin ko lang, kapag rush-hour marami ang mainit ang ulo. Kanina pinahinto lang ng traffic enforcer kaming mga tumatawid. Dahil may mga sasakyang hindi na makadaan sa dami namin, pinahinto niya kami. May nakipag-away kaagad.
Isa pa sa MRT, kapag may natulak, yung kahit hindi naman sadya dahil natulak lang din, madalas sigawan na yun.

Kanina, dahil nagmamadali ako, sumakay ako sa motor. Iyon na ang pinakamabilis na transportasyon kapag rush-hour dahil napakahusay nung mga motoristang makipagsiksikan sa kapal ng trapik. Naranasan ko yung motion blur effect dahil sa bilis ng takbo ng motor.

Iba talaga ang epekto ng damit sa mga tao sa paligid. Malaking patunay nito, sa mga naranasan ko, ang pagkapkap ng mga gwardiya sa mga malls. Kapag naka-usual shirt, pants, rubber shoes get up, kinakapkapan at hinahalughog ang bag ko. Kapag naka-formal naman, daan lang at hindi lang iyon, mayroon pang "Good morning/afternoon/evening". Swabe lang.

May batang babae kanina sa may kalye, hindi ko alam kung inaasar niya yung tatay niya o ano basta tanong siya nang tanong: "Papa, papa, bakit ayaw mong mamatay?" Talagang paulit-ulit. Tatay naman niya mainit na rin ang ulo pero halatang nagpapasensya lang at paulit-ulit din ang sagot na: "Ewan ko." Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit niya itinatanong iyon.

Ay yung job. Medyo nakakatamad eh. Hindi na kasi ako ganoon ka-enthusiastic sa mga ganitong bagay. Pahingi naman ng magandang attitude towards work, wala talaga akong kwenta eh. Sana nga talaga unang trabaho ko nalang, na-defile na kasi ang utak ko sa una.
Sa simula lang naman siguro ito. Isa pa pangangatawanan ko na rin dahil galing pa rin sa desisyon ko ang mga nangyayari.

The Wowowee controversy, again

Doon sa nakaraang blog entry, parang may kulang kung titignan ang iba pang mga nangyayari.

Bukod sa pagtaas ng ratings ng mga palabas ng dalawang istasyon dahil sa publicity, kakaiba ang swabeng timing ng paglabas nitong issue.

Bigla nalang nawala ang mga balitang tumutukoy sa Hello Garci at sa multi-million peso broadband deal. Yung mga ganoong tipong balita. Yung mga masayang malaman ang mga bagong kaganapan.

Ano ba ang nangyari? Suhol? Walang source? O wala nanaman talaga?

Diverting the issues, yet again. I wouldn't be surprised if everything about the issue is fabricated.

Kasalanan ko rin siguro dahil ang tanging pinagkukunan ko ng balita ay ang telebisyon.

Movies Watched July 21, 2007 - August 31, 2007

Many movies and little time to write.

Little Miss Sunshine
Good. Pretty corny but, somehow, it works.

Pan's Labyrinth
Good. This film is fantastic.

Dreamgirls
Bad if you don't like musicals. Otherwise, it's good. I never really thought that Eddie Murphy could sing.

Naruto Movie 3
Bad.

Death Note Movie
Good. Cool CG. Different presentation from the anime but as long as Light dies, it's pretty much the same.

Vacancy
BAD. Do yourself a favor, don't watch it. Stupid, sick movie. Sayang lang ang Kate Beckinsale.

Just Like Heaven
Good. It's about being dead. Well, being dead, as implied in the movie, is about having no life. So life isn't exactly about having a pulse.
I can relate to the movie because, somehow, I had to re-evaluate the status of my life.

Bourne Supremacy
Good, definitely.

I Think I Love My Wife
Good enough.

Mission Impossible 3
Okay. The story is kind of lame though. The girlfriend had to be a nurse so that she would be able to do CPR on Ethan at the falling action of the story. Masyadong pilit yung ganoong planned payoff.
Ang ganda nung Lamborghini. Almost 10 million pesos damn. You can give a living with that.

Shooter
Good. The speech is unpleasant, but everything else is great.

Stay Alive
Bad. Yet again, violence, shocking scenes, sex, and a bad story. Oh wait, there's more. Video games.

Chances Are
Good. It's an old film. 1989?
It's about reincarnation and remembering your past life. Robert Downey Jr. is good in it. And it proves that sex in movies has been there even waaaaaay back in the day.

The Lookout
Okay. The story is not very convincing though. It doesn't drive the nail into my head.

Dungeons and Dragons
Bad. The script and acting is awful. Hindi mo malaman kung ano yung genre nung film dahil dun sa Wayans guy. He is good at comedy but not in an epic movie.

The Break-Up
Okay. I don't like the way Vince Vaughn's talks.

Dungeons and Dragons 2 Wrath of the Dragon God
Okay. The casting in this movie is a little better than the first movie. It shows great management skills by a king. "Proceed in the belief that your comrades will succeed." Ang baduy nung special effects, particularly the lightning bolt. There is also that freshly carved sign on a supposedly old grave.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Bad. The Fantastic Four movies are time wasters. Yeah, they do have nice flashy stuff, but they have terrible stories. It's too bad that I've watched both.

MirrorMask
Good. A movie that goes to show that, sometimes, it may be easier to escape the harshness reality. Although escaping reality may imply more than just evading whatever is in it.
The make-up, effects and music are fantastic. The combination is remarkable and it created the on-paper fantasy world. It's definitely fascinating. My only complaint is the speech. It's kind of muffled at some points.
