I HATE SUBTITLES! I FUCKING HATE THEM! Why can’t someone invent a universal translator by now. There is certain nuisance lost when changing one language from the other. Plus the fact that the viewer is distracted ninety percent of the time. When he reads the subtitles he fails the notice important visual cues that the person is making or a certain plot significance because he is busy reading it!
Yes you can dub! But for some strange reason, people hate dubbed material. And that includes me! Personally if a work should be translated and subtitled, the writer himself should do it. ALL OF IT!
To insure maximum accuracy! But then again you can always dump it to some shmoe. Believing that the letter of the word would be preserved somehow. Take my word, it won’t!
So if you will excuse me, it’s back to subtitling!

Selina is constantly on my side while I subtitled! She suddenly developed a strong fixation to my SHREK two disk special ed. constantly asking me to repeat the karaoke feature! She's the only thing that can make me chuckle for the past weeks as I am deeply entrenched in the combat zone.
She has this other strange talent ,assembling 36 piece puzzles in four minutes flat! I'm beginning to entertain thoughts of entering her in the GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS. She beats my sister by fifteen minutes flat and she's now a doctor.
Either she'll be the scientist who develops the DOOMSDAY DEVICE or be a certified public accountant

For two days a succession of brownouts left me totally devasted I’m already on a tight deadline where every second counts. I don’t sleep like normal human beings do so I can finish the project. I’m the Flash. Doing four different things at the same time. Subtitling is a BITCH I tell you! But I manage. I don’t even have time to play with the BON-BON. (Well I manage a few minutes! I mean how can I resist that small vessel of mass destruction!) I’m on all four engines gunning like hell. Any obstacles should be leveled
I don’t even see regular people no more. My booths have already began talking to me.
And then the power company pulls a fast one like this! In the darkness I suddenly remember to breathe again. To feel the seconds passing. The buzzing of the mosquitos beside me and the croaking of some thing outside.
I can feel the stillness of the night.
In the darkness I ask myself what am I racing against?

This BATTERED women film is battering the hell out of me.I can feel every punch,kick and other indignities the men have visited on this poor helpless women. Now I feel like a brutalized young lady cowering in one small corner of this darkened room.The only consolation I have is that after I have finished putting all of this together I can walk away from it and get on with my social life. Unfortunately these women can't! The best i can do is to do justice to them! I hope I will!

Alanguilan passed by the house and brought some KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN. As a form of appeasement I guess.He then went on a full blown campaign of ressurecting the already DORMANT BY 4 MONTHS WASTED THE MOVIE PROJECT, due to his unerring sense of commitment and dedication.He said that he would be free by the first week of June which is good because as of now, I'm so totally booked that I can't even get off the shelf and flip myself over.We planned the shooting of the climax.We will construct a set for the building and the killing of the MAYOR scene.I will convert a giant warehouse that is owned by the family and with ALANGUILAN's expertise as an architect he will implement the my design into a 3D construct.That would be fun to do. It will be a controlled environment so we can splah and dash as much blood and gore and grime that we can think of without asking permission from the owner of the house.
He then tried to borrow several pirated dvds from me but i reminded him about his moral stance about piracy and just lent him one authentic title. He was down on his knees begging for the pirated stuff. Seems that to the world at large he is a bastion of unswerving moral integrity but in closed doors he is a cheapskate like the rest of us.

My fingers are sore and branded with the alphabet insignia of my keyboard.
My ears ceased to hear the world around me, choosing instead to fixate on the loud cries of enslaved women trapped in an endless loop.
My backache’s and on my skin, the chair has written Babylonian scripts that can only be read under a fluorescent lamp.
My feet has grown tap roots and would soon blossom after a week from now.
And my mind….my mind is somewhere drinking coffee and watching a movie while the rest of me sits here in this small little black hole…Until I finish!

Accompanied Cess to watch XMEN last night.I had to sit thru and watch that stupid film again! Ironic that when the first one came out I loved it so much and watched it seven times and got teh dvd too! But this lastest installment ...UGHHHH! Saw the trailer of DArKNESS FALLS. My seatmate said that it looked great. BOY IS THAT IDIOT IN FOR A SURPRISE! BINLADEN should have just dumped the jets in Hollywood instead of the twin towers. At least he could have spared the movie goping public of such inane films. Then another trailer came up. The one with the girl who resembles this european rockstar and she impersonates her and..... The plot is like a bad fart from an italian maitre d.The main visual pun is the girl falling all over the place. PRATFALLS have replaced plotlines in american movies!
The worst part of teh evening is being propositioned by thsi GAY PERVERT in the men's room.
GAY PERVERT: " WOW! IS IT ALWAYS HARD? "
FLIM: "ONLY IN THE EVENING MY BOY!"
GAY PERVERT: " Can...I....touch it ? "
FLIM: " Not today. My wife's with me... "
I zipped up and threw him this..
FLIM: " YOU FUCKED UP PERVERT! SHAME ON YOU! DOING THIS IN AN XMEN MOVIE!THERE COULD BE KIDS IN THE OTHER STALLS! "
When I exited, there was another gay person by the doorside who shot me this mean grin. oh boy! They travel in pairs!Just like a VELOCIRAPTOR HUNTING PACK.If worse comes to worse, I can plummet them with my erect JOHNTHOMAS.I stared back and he gave way.
That is the last time I'm watching the last full show in atheater any where near MALATE!

Spent yesterday's afternoon in Polo club watching Selina run around the field chasing someone's frisbee.( MENTAL NOTE: Buy her one.)Will teach her how to fling it, TRON'S STYLE.I on the other hand walked barefoot in the grass. I read somewhere that walking barefoot on the earth gives you healthy attributes.After twenty minutes I felt like I stepped on a couple of horse dung and felt none the better.
Wanted to play badminton and sweat the stress out.unfortunately I wasnt able to bring a raquet and was wearing a pair of corduroy browns.The entire day was spent eating left and right.Lunch at NEW MANILA was provided by Tita ANNE,whose choice of food is impeccable as ever.STEAMED CRABS, Steak medium rare,potatoe salad, ribs and ox tail soup. Dessert was provided by PIA whose expertise is sweet.The CANONICO was superb!
Must buy a couple of vinos to clear arteries.
That's the only alternative for an otherwise sendentiary lifestyle. What else would you call editing? Most of the editors I worked with. tended to get fat because they spend the entire day and night just sitting on the console.80 percent of the body is not moving but teh brain is operating overtime.Which shots to use, cue music!What effect would be needed! DECISIONS! DECISIONS! DECISIONS!
And that's what I have been doing seven days a week.Yes the trips to the gym helps. But that's just an hour or two versus the rest of the 17 hours of the day!NO CONTEST! Maybe I SHOULD INSERT A TREAD mill in the cave have it attached to the keyboard or something !

Watched JUNGLE BOOK with Selina. Still a classic! The songs are great and the villain. superb! SHERE KHAN tops my all time Disney’s best villains! Charming, condecending, lethal and properly BRITISH! I have been a George Sander's fan since I saw IVANHOE when I was a kid.
“ State your lineage. ARE YOU NORMAN OR SAXON! “
‘ I AM SAXON! “
(When I was in grade 3 I wondered what the hell was the difference between NORMAN and SAXON. By grade six I learned that SAXONS were the indigenous people of BRITTANY and the NORMANS were the overlords who crossed over from NORMANDY. Had an argument with one of my classmates who said that NORMANS where the silk stock wearing English from KENT. I told him that they were French farting chefs. His take is that if Normans were French how come they had British accents instead of French ones. How can you argue with that?)
‘ THEN STRIKE YOUR OPPONENTS SHIELD TO INDICATE YOUR INTENT, YOU YEOMAN KNAVE! “
YEAH! Sanders played WAGILBEAR , one of KING JOHN'S ALLIES in a plot to steal the throne from RICHARD THE LION HEART.Saw it a 100 times and it just keeps getting better! Then I discovered he also voiced SHERE KHAN. What can I say? Such class! Such wit! SUCH VILLAINY!
Here’s to GEORGE SANDERS! ” It is this court’s pleasure that you present this colors to a lady of your liking so that someone will mourn you when you lie cold and still underneath your shield! “
Is it just coincidence that two of my favorite villains are named KHAN? But then again there was a minor BOND villain named KAMAL KHAN in OCTUPUSSY,played by LOUIS JORDAN. I found the character boring and typical except for his accent so I guess that rules out the K thing.
Second to Khan is PROFESSOR RATIGAN from THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE. Given life thru the voice of another all time favorite of mine, VINCENT PRICE!
I bought an ALICE COOPER album before because he was a guest star and just listening to his velvet serpentine voice expound about the merits of the Cosa raptoria sends shivers down my MEDULLA OBLONGATA.
What a shame that Disney can’t come up with cool villains as they did before. Ahh well we always have our dear PRESIDENT.

DARKNESS FALLS …FLAT!
Just watched DARKNESS FALLS! Watched the documentary that accompanied it. The director said that he didn’t like to do the usual slasher film and that he wanted to do something like JAWS and ALIENS, TOTAL CLASSICS. The writer in his turn said that he wanted to subvert the horror genre and come up with something original. WELL THEY CAME UP WITH SOMETHING THEY DIDN’T WANT! WHICH IS A TOTALLY BORING MOVIE ,USING EVERY CLICHE EVER INVENTED BY EVERYONE WHO MAKES HORROR MOVIES ! Everything down to the false suspense, cat falling into the shot, sound volume increase to elicit shock value! THIS WAS A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME! And the characters are so bland and one dimensional that you need a pogo stick to prop them up! The creature…youv’e seen one ..you’ve seen them all! I SHOULDN’T HAVE watched this! But I needed the break after working all day.
Why aren’t the modern masters working on anything new? Where’s TOBE HOOPER? JOE DANTE? DARIO ARGENTO? GEORGE ROMERO?All we have now are film school and workshop hopefuls armed with computer graphics and mobile camera jibs. Thinking that those are the only things that make horror movies, good!
My biggest mistake was watching TALK TO HER first! SHOULD HAVE SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST! Now I have to walk around with the bad taste of this movie for the entire week!
Just bought THE HERO MIRAMAX SPECIAL EDITION DVD, KIKI’S DELIVERY SPECIAL DELIVERY SERVICE, 25TH HOUR, SEX AND LUCCA , JUNGLE BOOK and the GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE for SELINA.Now I have fifty dvds which I haven’t watched. Must have a new filing system!

Got the following dvds,SNOW QUEEN, THE MAN FROM ELYSIAN FIELDS,TALK TO HER . DREAMS, THE DANGEROUS LIVES OF ALTAR BOYS, QUEEN THE VIDEO HITS and DARKNESS FALLS Now I have twenty five titles which I can't even watch because of the MAMMOTH PROJECT I'm editing.But now Im afraid I wont be doing even that for a couple of days or more. A New project just came up.Have to do it to pay for the damn electrical bills and what have you's.Refused a couple of project/ rackets as it is so I can concentrate on the mamoth project and no matter how important it is ...it still does not pay for anything.In fact it is a huge cash drain! Time to come down from the clouds and do some real time job!

How can the government still allow MERALCO to operate when it has irrefutable proof that the company is stealing from the consumers,an astronomical amount of money?AND THEY STILL CHARGE THE PPA! WHEN THEY SHOULD REFUND THE MONEY THEY STOLE FROM US!I say boycott the people behind Meralco who uses it as a cashcow to fund their other projects! BOYCOTT the TV station which is owned by the same people who owns MERALCO.WHY SHOULD WE PATRONIZE THIEVES?

Was talking to the Bed after a harrowing day of shooting and we talked about will you be happy if you get what you want.
BED: “ But what happens when the girl gets the kind of relationship that she’s looking for her entire life. Does she become content? “
FLIM: ” Of course not!”
BED: “ Why’s that? “
FLIM: “ Because we seldom get what we want at the time that you particularly want it.You for example. You’ve been lusting for freedom since time immemorial but when you do get it. You’ll be happy for a month or at least six months …then it’s all downhill from there.”
BED: “ Why? Why? “
FLIM: “ Ok…when I was a kid. I always wanted to have this action figure. PLANET OF THE APES, URKO.I’d go to the ARCADE, which used to be beside UNIMART. I’d stare at the action figure, which is around six inches. It costs around 700 bucks. 700 BUCKS now is still worth a lot right? Imagine what 700 bucks would look to a kid still in grade school and way back in the 70’s.
BED: “ Would have been a lot.”
FLIM: “ So I visited the store every Sunday. And there was PLANET OF THE APES URKO staring back. Way back I knew that I could never have it. No way can I raise 700 bucks. But I kept staring at it. Because the very act of looking at it.. somehow made it …mine! Then one day I went to the shop and found the action figure gone. Must have been bought by another kid. Someone who can afford 700 bucks for a toy. Flash forward to the present. I saw the toy again in the net.Finally I find it and it was going for around 100 dollars. I buy it immediately. Yep it's double the price and YES, now I can afford it.
So I get the toy. It arrives in the mail. I’m happy for about two days. I have one of the toys I have always wanted. And then it struck me. WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH A DOLL? SOMEONE MY AGE? I wanted it when I was ten! When I can still play and pretend. Not now! So what do I do with it? I put it up my shelf where the other toys are, gathering dust.
I have it now! But not for the right reasons I had when I was a kid. And a toy is only right for one thing and one thing only. To play with.
BED: “ hmmmmm
FLIM: “ Once you get your freedom. You’ll be very happy. Then after a month or two. You’d feel even worse and think why didn’t you get your freedom earlier. THREE YEARS AGO, FIVE YEARS AGO? When it mattered the most.”
BED: “ Hmmm…”
FLIM: “Wer’e not built to be content. We are not built to be happy

We're still watching EQUILIBRIUM The effects are zany but there is a story.
CESS: " He kills ten people for a dog."
FLIM: " Uhm..they're not really people, they're villains."
CESS: " You mean FACISTS."
FLIM: " Yes I guess. I mean in some unwritten cinematic code of human behaviour. Its better to waste ten people with facists beliefs than an innocent dog.After all dogs have no political leanings and wont vote the wrong kind of person for office.So there is a consistent logic running thru it all."

When I first saw the trailer of EQUILIBRIUM, I thought ' UGHH MATRIX WANABE! " Down to the tacky all black mandarin collared trenchcoats.Was feeling a little bit kinky last Friday after bathing in the pshosphor dot viewscreen of the computer for nine straight hours so I bought the dvd along with the COLORS TRILOGY of KIESLOWSKI , THE SNOW QUEEN and the LARAMIE PROJECT. I was instantly shocked to find that I actually liked EQUILIBRIUM.The plot is a rehash of BRADBURY'S FARENHEIGHT 456 with a dash of hongkong action and john woo thrown in.Plot descrepancies are all over the place but the over the top fight scenes are so....over the top that I gave in and found myself along for the ride.
Cess thinks I loved the film because of its FACISTS underpinnings.M.REYES a member of the MANUNURI said it better when I dragged his sorry butt thru the narrow SHINJUKU streets searching for a pair of Shelly booths.
M.REYES: " NOEL,you're a FACISTS! Your fixtation with black booths and leather jackets! Those are all FACISTS accroutments."
FLIM: " Then again...I might just be gay."
M.REYES: " You're not! You're a FACIST FASHION FAN! "
FLIM: " But you must admit, that the SS had cooler uniforms! The DEATH SKULL INSIGNIA over the black caps. And the all black judspurs and knee lenght leather overcoats! "
Well I loved STARSHIP TROOPERS...So I guess if the booths fit
