Showing off my defunct bakya side
Watching Marimar Redux Jezebel (almost) every night just for fun, and mostly to induce brain explosions and other explosions of laughter after a hard day's worth of work. The acting is morbidly bad, but I keep watching anyway just out of sheer morbid curiosity, albeit I do flip frequently in between. Hah.
a) While Marianne Rivera is indeed quite prittih, I'm actually getting bored of seeing her everywhere.
b) On that note, she's not that great an actress, btw. I think Angel Locsin acts better.
c) That tape-sticker thing on her face supposed to pass for a horrendous disfigurement / scar is really...just a sticker. It looks like a sticker, and no way in hell does it even remotely resemble any physical disfigurement at all. It looks more like a tattoo job gone horribly wrong, or like she fell asleep and some kid decides to superglue his latest art project on her face. Hmmm. (It also shows on tv that it is, quite obviously, a sticker.)
d) Also on that note: despite bad sticker on face, she's not really as "panget" (ugly) as people in the show shriek quite often.
e) Last night's scene where the kid got run over by a car had me doubling in laughter. Like. Really. DOubling in laughter AND screaming WTF WTF WTF over and over again. My dear writers + producers + actors: if someone is run over, chances are, they've broken bones or fractured bones, and obviously the last thing you want is the person attempting to touch your face with the side that was hit by the car. Uhmmm. Yeah. Btw, your wound is on the wrong side, not to mention Marimar Jezebel Isabelle Marianne shouldn't even be flopping you around like a ragdoll after being hit. Hmmmm.
f) PS, that scene was like a cardboard cut out from a bad death scene, complete with the "....speech speech...faint faint...speech...faint..."
g) I think I'll stop now. :|
h) PS, what happened to the storyline that Dingdong Dantes had to marry Bianca King because his father claimed he staked his entire fortune on that marriage (i.e. if you don't marry chick, ur broke)? So she's in some coma (plot device #222) in a hospital, and DD decides to run off and marry Marianne Rivera's fake enemy who-is-stealing-her-face-huh?.

I am also finallg back to reading. Or should I say, Reading? Have picked up Jasper Fforde recently, and finished The Big Over Easy while in HK, and have picked up the next book, The Fourth Bear. Brilliant shit. Jack Sprat / eats no fat / had a wife / ate no lean / platter clean? I've actually forgotten the story of Goldilocks now, which I am about to look up in the next five seconds. Nursery Crime Division = ftw.
Everyone keeps telling me to pick up his Thursday Next series instead, as they say it's infinitely better? Have picked up The Well of Lost Plots first as apparently it crosses over to the Jack Spratt series for starters. Hmmmmmm.
