Silver Screen

Don’t believe the movies,

Happy endings never happen.

Don’t believe that TV series,

Redemption often comes in blank.

Dont buy that famous line,

For it doesn’t apply to reality.

Dont believe that actor,

For crying is far truthful from he earns.

Dont believe the action,

Dont believe the tears,

Dont believe the love

These are just elements

To make you pay some bill.

Dont believe the stare in blank

Dont believe the shutters of glass

Dont believe suicide

We know frustration is beyond all these.

A favourite movie is a joke.

A favourite actor is crazy.

No notes of a hater,

Ironic for I am a movie goer.

Inspiration

Inspiration is our drive to continue living and leading ourselves to things worthy of our existence.

Inspiration is beyond concepts and tangible stuff, it is that natural drive that excites you. It is the adrenaline that never dies. It’s not just happiness, it is fulfilment.

Inspiration is Manny Pacquiao proving to the world that Filipinos can break away from stereotyping.


Inspiration is 2012’s plot that bites some significant segments of reality. It makes you think how human can be so resilient just to get ahead, but then again the movie simply wants to evoke humanity.


Inspiration is episode 9 (season 1) of Glee. I have this heart for the underdogs, but the story did not overuse the idea of compassion and empathy, it deliberately injected logical reasons on how we should treat each other as equals.


Inspiration is the old lady that I always see in my daily commute. I believe she’s on her late 70’s, but she’s always in the road selling some pasteurized milk. I would always see her eat her plain rice from a plastic she keeps in her pocket. I could just imagine the struggle she has that forces her to work, instead of staying home. I’m not even sure if she has a home.

And finally, inspiration is the upcoming music compilation of Francis M and Ely Buendia. I was in the Rock awards last time, and it made me realized just how Francis M made being Filipino a cool proposition. The local artists are the real definition of our talent. Sell out or underground- it wouldn’t matter. Every local beat is an honor to our culture.



I would include the 40 years of Sesame Street as one of my inspiration, but I thought it would kill the flow of drama, so forget I even mentioned them.

FACEBOOK THE MOVIE

They say Justine Timberlake will play a role? Whoa.

With its 200 million active users worldwide, Facebook the movie AKA “The Social Network” is being cooked. Buzzed to start filming later this year, David Fincher (director of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) is pitched to head the direction.

With Columbia Pictures bringing the production, the film will tell the story of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg as he scaled the site from a Harvard dorm room to the world’s most popular social network.

Is this an indication that Facebook really outlasted Friendster? I never heard a movie inspired by Friendster, have you?

THIS IS IT!

The theater event that will sum up all documentaries showering the greatness of Michael Jackson will now happen with “This is it!” The two weeks only Michael Jackson story thread will start showing on October 28, 2009.

I will surely be in a prime theater seat for this.
