"I remember it well
The first time that I saw
Your head ’round the door
‘Cause mine stopped working

I remember it well
There was wet in your hair
I was stood in a stare
And time stopped moving

I want you here tonight
I want you here
‘Cause I can’t believe what I found
Oh, and you’re here and I want you here
Nothing is taking me down
Down
Down…

I remember it well
Taxied out of a storm
To watch you perform
And my ships were sailing

I remember it well
I was stood in your line
And your mouth, your mouth, your mind…

I want you here tonight
I want you here
‘Cause I can’t believe what I found
Oh, and you’re here and I want you here
Nothing is taking me down
Down
Down…

Except you my love. 
Except you my love…

              -"I Remember", by Lisa Hannigan from O

so that’s where Cyclops went, he hooked up with Lois Lane.

James Marsden is fast becoming the actor with the most popular torotot roles, no? well not exactly torotot, but you know what i mean. first, jean grey got attracted to wolverine (which to my opinion is why phoenix obliterated him, mas type niya si hugh jackman..). then Rachel McAdams broke off their engagement to be with ryan gosling in The Notebook. and now, he’s earned the distinction of being lois lane’s rebound guy. naman. si superman ang karibal mo, e, patay tayo jan… and he’s always a nice guy in all these films. hindi naman siya asshole kaya siya napagpipilian, malulufit lang talaga ang mga kakumpetensya niya. hay naku…

i still believe that The Notebook would have been more tear-jerking if it turned out that james gardner is james marsden and not ryan gosling. pwede sana namatay si ryan gosling after having a long and fruitful marriage with rachel mcadams, so naging happy din sila, but after gosling died it was marsden who posed as duke/gosling to take care of the ill gena rowlands because he never loved another woman after her. yun ang true love, yung di mo nakuha, di ba? saklap nun..

ok, ok.

last wednesday i went to see Superman Returns, and it felt very good to have him back. i seldom get very excited with movies anymore, but see, a superman movie coming out is just different and very special to me.

you know how something in your memory gets unlocked when you get a whiff of some familiar smell or see a face or hear a tune after a very long while? well, anticipating superman’s appearance while sitting very quietly in a movie theater took me back to when i was 3 years old. Superman was my first movie experience, when my dad took me to see Christopher Reeve rock those gangsta blue tights. and man, this superman movie just took the lead from that one, on how they presented it, the opening credits, the tunes, the build-up; man, i felt like a kid again and i was very happy to be sitting there remembering how my dad carried me as I watched with marvel (because the movie house was packed). feeling that crescendo in the superman theme building up, hearing marlon brando’s voice again..ahhh..let’s just say the movie didn’t disappoint me. i’ll go as far as saying that the shuttle-launch-from-a-plane rescue sequence was already worth the 140 bucks that the ayalas took from me. that was some sick movie-making right there.

and i just found out that they’re showing it in iMax format, too. are they doing that here? if you know how to get a piece of that action, please hook me up. thanks.

napansin ko lang masyadong low-waist yung brip ni superman dito. parang masagwa lang sa ibang angle. para lang..

and kate bosworth is definitely better-looking blonde. pero ok na rin..

given emphasis on this movie is how much more advanced superman’s planet is than our own, sayang nga lang tsugi na sila. pero kitang-kita naman yung galing nila, manipulating crystals into shit, growing sick-ass technology naturally. sobrang talino din kasi ng mga kryptonians, malamang. tayo kasi di nga natin mahalata na si superman at clark kent eh iisa. maybe if clark wore the glasses with the built-in bulbous nose and curling mustache disguise then it would have been more excusable for earthlings to overlook that clark and superman were never in the same place at the same time.

let me just say, and this is no disrespect to brandon routh, but Superman IS Christopher Reeve. brandon is an okay-enough replacement, i guess, but he’s more pretty boy than the imposing presence that CReeve was. although brandon really made the girls swoon at the theater that i have to admit, when he first came out my heart skipped a beat and i mumbled "..ang pogi naman nitong kumag na ‘to..".

those honest kilig moments and comments that the girls let out during the movie: funny. boys (and some girls) doing too much and killing it trying to be smart and funny and cute: stupid. come on, guys. baduy e. kung magpapasikat lang sa kasama mo, trying to be funny inside a theater full of people is not the way to go. mukha ka lang papansin. there’s this guy who kept commenting loudly in a visayan dialect about superman’s boots, belt, brandon’s good looks, whatever, trying to be cute for his girl friends; man it was just shameful. i’m pretty sure his friends were embarassed but he just kept on going. security should’ve clubbed him, i’m just saying.

SPOILER ALERT!! ok guys, i gave you three days before blogging about superman, and i’m posting some spoilers because i have a lot of questions. anyway, i made it in such a way that you can’t see it clearly. if you’ve seen the movie just highlight "the space between" that appear blank below and you’ll be able to see my questions and observations against the black background. game?


i thought about it, but i never really accepted it until it was there: the cute kid was kal-el’s. how did this happen? i never thought that superman was capable of this ‘pre-marital relations" thing because in Superman 2, he had to give up his powers to be able to do the hibbidy-dibbidy with lois lane. what changed? did marlon brando became lax with this rule? how will this angle play out in the next two superman installments (BRouth is under contract for two more..)?

more importantly, these questions need to be addressed: was lois satisfied with superman’s performance? did he use his super speed? i hope not. and, after all those years of yearning and yearning, that super semen blast should have probably blown off lois lane’s head right? was it awkward that superman had to take off his briefs first BEFORE his pants? where did they do it? was he packing? did he live up to his billing as the world’s mightiest hero? details, mamu…

and! yun nga, like most men, superman just left her without saying goodbye. ganon? the reason why lois was so mad that superman left, kasi naman may nangyari pala sa kanila, eh basta na lang pumuga si mokong. kaya yun. what would jor-el say? that was just no way to treat a woman, son.

still there? spoiler pa rin…

napansin ko lang, medyo lumakas ang tolerance ni superman sa kryptonite. i honestly thought that lex luthor will become virtually untouchable, or at least superman will die before he can reach him in his continent because in the past superman films, even a small shard of kryptonite saps superman’s strength. when lex grew his continent from kryptonite and kryptonian crystal i thought, wow, ang lupit, now superman is screwed. elibs ako na super challenging ang problema ni superman, but he was able to get on it with all that kryptonite growing around him. nabuhat niya pa nga hanggang outer space yung buong mass!! gra-vy. yes, he recharged by going near the sun, but i thought it should’ve been impossible for him to do the stuff that he did with all that kryptonite around him.


malamang magkaka-sequel yung Armageddon dahil dun sa ibinatong crystal mass ni Superman sa outer space…


ok, that’s enough. end of spoiler.

did you know that batman keeps weaponized kryptonite, some shaped like bullets, so that should superman ever turn rogue, he’ll be able to stop him? and superman gave him his blessing to make this security measure.

after the flash and wonder woman movies come out i’ll be extremely disappointed if they can’t do a justice league movie. imagine that. wheeeee.

today my blog turns a year old. yehey. never saw this becoming a regular thing, but hey, let me just say thanks for being down with me. let me thank my sponsors, who really helped me get through a lot:

Swift Delicious Bacon. seriously, yun ang brand name niya. and they weren’t kidding..masarap nga!

San Remo Pasta, especially their penne rigate and instant carbonara/ham and cheese meals..

Cafe Puro. yes, i finally figured how to use my coffee maker..

Pringles..Original and Sour Cream & Onion..

Nacho Corn Chips by Leslie’s…

Boy Bawang, still da shiznit…

Monterey Plain Salted Chicharon…

Nemia’s BBQ…

Cowhead Pure Milk and DoubleStuf Oreos…

Kraft 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese…

McCormick Garlic Salt…

Choc-Nut…

Granny Goose Tortillos…

Jack-n-Jill Chiz Curls and Chippy…

Knorr Real Chinese Soup..just add one egg!

Tostitos Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips..

Nestea Lemon Ice Tea..

Del Monte Pineapple Juice..

Tropicana..

Zest-O Calamansi Soda..

Virgin Red and Virgin White Soda..

Mountain Dew!..

and last but not least, Gandour’s Safari Chocolate Bars. i know it looks like a piece of nutty turd as my friend irwin pointed out, but it does give me an energy boost whenever i eat two bars of Safari.

"thank you.. thank you very much.."

"..Come all ye lost
Dive into moss
I hope that my sanity covers the cost
To remove the stain of my love
Paper maché

Come all ye reborn
Blow off my horn
I’m driving real hard
This is love, this is porn
God will forgive me
But I, I whip myself with scorn, scorn

I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if you’re gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
I remember december

And I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if you’re gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
What the hell do you want?"

    you’re wrong meng. remember when clark slugged it out with superman in some kind of a junkyard? was that in superman 2? they were in the same place at the same time! or was all of that some kind of a representation of his conflicting multiple personaliteis?? paki explain nga yung scene na yun.

    one hundred and forty bucks! tngina, 10 pesos lang dati ang sine

    haha. sampung piso? ipinapahalata mong matanda na tayo, e. bente lang sa SM North nung freshmen kami, di ba?

    sa superman 3 yung sa junkyard, e, super computer ang kalaban niya na gawa ni richard pryor. evil manifestation ni superman yung kinalaban ni clark kent..gawa kasi yun nung synthetic kryptonite na gawa ni richard pryor, ayun, nag-split siya.
