Babbling Point

Just came from the MTV PILIPINAS AWARDS . The best parts of the show will probably be not shown on air, like Buwi of Parokya ni Egdar ripping off his shirt and jumping up and down and around Sarah Meyer. A second later Chito and another Parokya member jump on stage, take of their shirts and start to run around Sarah who’s trying to read something from the teleprompter. Rufa Mae Quinto was probably the most unpretentious presentor that went up on stage. Due of some problem with the next band, Rufa Mae and Martin had to ad lib and just chat on stage. That was probably the funniest and best part of the show. I think Martin still makes a great host. He was funny and always has good stage presence. Unfortunately, he just had to sing the “ Simply Amazing ” song, with the commercial appearing on the two huge video walls in the back.

FWD EMAIL DEPT:a crappy story Last week, I left Manila with a couple of friends heading toward Punta Fuego, in Batangas, when I decided to stop at a comfort station in a relatively new Gas station in Tagaytay.

Normally, I would keep as dead silent as possible in a situation like this so no one would think I was there. What was I to do? run? Keep quiet? So many questions in my mind. I really don't know quite what possessed me, but anyway, I answered, a little embarrassed: ...

Altar Egos : Part Teen Drama, Part Comic Book Adventure Most coming-of-age movies follow a basic formula: equal parts melodrama and angst, topped with a dash of sex. The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, in theaters June 14, adds sterner stuff: incest, religion, and animation - the latter crafted by Spawn creator Todd McFarlane. The graphic novelist gives the live-action film vivid segments that bring 14-year-old Francis' fantasies to life. Francis and his friends, '70s acolytes of the Hulk and Silver Surfer, transform into superheroes - the Muscle, Captain Asskicker, Major Screw, and Brakken - while his teacher/nemesis, Sister Assumpta (played by Jodie Foster), morphs into the evil Nunzilla. "The animation becomes metaphor for what he's going through in real life," says McFarlane. "There's not too much subtlety in comics." In this case, that's a virtue. - Jennifer Hillner ======================= Had an idea similar to this. Started wr...
