DINNER FOR FIVE

Hosted by Kevin Smith, with guests Jason Lee, Stan Lee, Mark Hamill and JJ Abrams.







DINNER FOR FIVE was show conceptualized and hosted by Jon Favreau.

My cousin Oliver gave me a copy of the first season. I lent it to someone and now I don't remember who has it.

Thank God for YouTube and I was able to find this episode where Kevin Smith played guest-host of the show.

I like the format of the show. It's very informal. Not the usual host behind the desk and the guest is seated on the couch. I think more interesting stories are told over food and drinks. The guests end up talking about things they wouldn't normally mention during an interview.

Ever since I saw this show, I thought it would great to replicate it locally.

I have seen some local shows attempt something like this, but somehow it doesn't come off as interesting. I think what makes DINNER FOR FIVE work well is the editing. They've chosen all of the good parts of the conversation and edited out the boring parts.

I've also seen some websites attempt something like this and they're off to a good start.

I was suggesting that one of the beer brands can sponsor a show like this. In every episode, the host gets the guests and drunk and wait for them to divulge secrets and embarrassing stories.

If too complicated to rely on just one sponsor, the show can be sponsored by different restaurants and fast food places. In every episode, the host and the guests can either dine-in a certain place or order take-out and they could eat at a house, on the road, at some car park.

DINE-IN/TAKE-OUT ... hmmmm... sounds like a good title for a show. :)

Don't mind me... I'm just babbling.

why not start it online muna? get a great host (carlos celdran comes to mind or maybe jessica zafra) and there you go. Ü

I love that format. Easy, candid conversations are always far more interesting than interviews.

PANDAY RIDING THAT HEROIC CYCLE Below is an email ELSA BIBAT posted in the Alamat mailing list , prompted by a thread about making/writing/creating a new Panday story. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Okay, okay, I'm back...and I was hoping to have a break from writing stuff. Anyway, it is incredible that someone actually remembered the post. It's been lost to time for exactly a two years now. Thank you for notifying me. Let's begin with the original videotapes. My original videotapes are lost to time, but, I caught all three of the trilogy in ABS-CBN's FPJ Theater... or was that Saturday Action Cinema? GMA 7 went the entire nine yards and showed the entire series in one of their old Tagalog action film shows that were on Saturday nights. The sight alone of the aliens of Panday IV raising the undead and turning innocent villagers to badly made-up extras makes my belly ache. As an aside, FPJ should exercise the rights a

I AM A FILIPINO

I am a Filipino – inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain future. As such, I must prove equal to a two-fold task – the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my obligation to the future. I am sprung from a hardy race – child many generations removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries, the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the mighty swell of hope – hope in the free abundance of the new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever. This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore that their eyes first set upon, every hill and mountain that beckoned to them with a green and purple invitation, every mile of rolling plain that their view encompassed, every river and lake that promised a plentiful living
