Panooring lokal, snob ako.
Yay! Got to watch Zombadings 1: Patayin sa Shokot si Remington last Friday with Tissa, Tuls & Tra. Going up the escalator to the movie house, we see walls flanked by posters of a movie called "My Other Wife" which Tissa & I looked at each other and said, "Di ba nagawan na yan ng pelikula dati?" Fine.
SYA!
I love that its an indie. I love the writing. I love that its got drama, comedy, "coming of age", suspense, horror & sci-fi all in one. I love that the protagonist is a fresh face & one which hasn't been tainted by my impression on local noon time shows. I love that it has familiar/well-known actors from during "my prime" who are "well-crafted". I love that the setting doesn't need to be in Manila for it to be relatable. I love the end credits presentation & the yet to be credited performers of the theme song.
Sa tindi ng kaligayahan ko, niyaya kong manuod si Aunt Afi, the next day. Minsan lang naman ako mag-yaya manuod ng Tagalog movie. E um-OO siya pag-abot namin ng mall. Sabay sumama din yung isa ko pang Auntie. Palakpakan para sa hatak kong manuod ng indie, di ba? Huli na nang maalala ko na may boy-touching at boykissing nga pala---feeling ko virgin pa mga mata nila para dun. Parang wow, mali! ba na kasama ko silang manuod? Pagtapos ng movie, for sures tumatak ang shokot nila para sa akin. Awaaard.
Maybe my problem is not having watched enough movies that are local blockbusters. But I'm okay. I think I would rather watch this 10x than see a movie called "My Other Wife" anyway.
