snippets 255

I was worrying how I would make this one cohesive. but I thought, "These are snippets dude they don't need to be cohesive." And yeah. What the hell.

*I am uninspired. It's the worst uninspired days/weeks/months/time of my entire life. There is just no looking forward to ANYTHING. Anything AT ALL. I am only living through the movies that I watch and the books that I am reading (yes I am reading again. will elaborate on that later.). In short, the perfect temporary escapism. I don't know anymore. I just don't know. I only look forward on Sundays. And that's just about it. I am counting the days before I get to swim. I love swimming. I wake up on Sundays earlier than I do on weekdays and Saturdays but I don't mind. But I mind waking up on weekdays and Saturdays. There's just no reason to wake up to. To get out of bed. There's just none.

*http://lattelav.tumblr.com - once upon a time, i would think of this site at us sanctuary, a haven. I used to love this kind of elaborate. this kind of beautiful. but know. it's just too much for me. too much detail. too elaborate. too much. not that it's not beautiful, actually it is really beautiful but it's not the same for me anymore. I used to love fairies and this kind of beautiful but before I turned 18, I just stopped. Without even being conscious that I have stopped.

*Sarina and I had been watching tagalog movies in the cinemas lately. I only have three criteria to watch a movie at the cinemas. One, it's a movie best enjoyed in the big screen. Two, it's a movie I couldn't wait to watch. And Three, it's a tagalog movie. Why no. 3? For one, let's support our own industry the ones that are worth or seemingly worth supporting. Two, I find it hard to download tagalog movies. So if you know how to easily download tagalog movies please tell me. Thanks.

*Having that said, here's the update to the movie front:

- The Reunion. - yes the tagalog one starring young actors and actresses. This I will just say, but Megan Young is beautiful with a punch! :D. Xian Lim, turns out a little less annoying in the movie than I have perceived him to be. Enrique Gil was cute. Kean Cipriano is really a good actor. I have appreciated the way he acted in "Ang Babae sa Septic Tank" and he didn't let down on this one. Enchong Dee, well...hmm.. no comment. Literally. :p


- The Fall. - is so beautiful! so so beautiful! It's like a very beautiful collection of moving pictures. (When I thought and said "moving pictures", I thought that probably the word movies came from the phrase "moving pictures". movies = moving + pictures. Anyway, I have no basis whatsoever to that, it's just me.) It is one of the things you'd want to always carry in your pocket. At times when you think the world is dull and you need inspiration. You'd be able to just pick it out of your pocket and watch it and everything would be okay.

Lee Pace's eyes. Gahd. His eyes are so beautiful. It's not fair that a guy has that kind of eyes. Really. And Catinca Untaru is just so cute. so cute. You'd love to cuddle her all day long.

I cried watching this movie. It's awfully endearing.

And because of this movie, all the other movies I have intended to watch had a backseat. I wanted to watch movies that are somehow like The Fall. This lead me to the "Big Fish".

- Big Fish - this movie stars Ewan McGregor. And with this movie I realize I am not a fan of him. :P. His characters are always cocky and yes, annoying. So, I associate his characters with him, which is wrong but I can't help it. I didn't appreciate the first part of the movie but as it went along it gradually grew on me. It's a story-telling kind of movie and anything that has lots of story-telling is always okay in my book. I liked the story about the witch with a glass eye that when you looked at it, you'd know how you'd die. I guess, it is nice to know how you would go out of this world. Like Edward Bloom said, at least you'd know that you'd get through anything before you die. So, whatever situation you are you'd know you'd be okay and it won't be the end of you. I started having the same notion when I had my so called fortune told. Not that I believed in them a hundred percent but if what I was told was true, I'd get through this current mishaps in my life. And I think that, that slight percentage of assurance will do, for now. Anyway, it is fascinating to see a young and not-yet-annoying miley cyrus in this movie. There's also a filipino ventriloquist in this movie, who talks in front of this foreign soldiers using tagalog.

- Do bi do bi doo - this movie could have been so much better. It failed my expectation. I mean, knowing the creativity of Filipinos, this is such a let down. The music is nice of course but that's it. The story was "pilit". It doesn't jive at all. Like the plot of the story was made by   some high school students. The concept was really really nice and the movie could have been a lot lot more than how it turned out. I love the "Batang-bata ka pa" and "Blue Jeans" portion but that's as far as I can praise it. Not that it was boring, or downright not good. It just doesn't live up to my expectation. (Sarina and I were a running commentary of the movie. And we sort of unconsciously talked a little louder than we're supposed to. Forgetting that we were not in the private confines of our room where we usually watch a movie. This is why I like watching at home where I can hit pause and play whenever I want to. Not to mention subtitles. So we won't miss a thing while commenting or thinking aloud.)

-The Little Rascals - this movie is uberly cute. :D The kids are cute and witty. I especially love porky. :D "Dear Darla, I hate your stinkin' guts. You make me vomit. You are scum between my toes. Love, Alfalfa." :D They are all so adorably cute. "Quick! What's the number for 911?!" -Buckwheat. But this movie was in 1994 so all this adorable kids are all grown up now. They're probably my age or just a couple of years older.
