I went to the mall the other day. Nakita ko na yung Harper's Bazaar cover ng misis mo. Gusto ko sana bilhin kaya lang kinapos nanaman ako ng pera. Palagi na lang ako kinakapos ng pera. Hirap maging dukha. Ehehe.

The Scud said...

whoa! napanood mo na ang The Class. i have been hunting for a copy for ages. san mo nakuha?

philos said...

Wow, looks impressive... Saan showing tong mga to?

Visual Velocity said...

The Scud: Sa St. Francis Square, hehe. Hindi na ko nagagawi sa Quiapo; ang layo eh.

philos: I'm not sure if they're showing locally; saw them all in bootleg. :)

Oman said...

i need a crash course on 2008 movies. pero wala naman talaga ko napapanood lately eh. :)

napanood ko lang dyan Jay and Rachel Getting Married.:D

ShatterShards said...

Jay lang napanood ko rito. And I saw it at this year's Cinemalaya.

Are there any more upcoming festivals this year? And I'm not interested in the one held annually on December. :-)

Visual Velocity said...

Lawstude: Okay lang yun, at least nakakapag byahe ka. :)

flamindevil: I like Jay and Rachel Getting Married. :D

ShatterShards: I'm not sure, but I don't think there'd be any more festivals this year (well, except for the one held annually during December). That never fails to make me cringe. Swear to God. Hehe.

bampiraako said...

Gusto ko yung Next Attraction.

Visual Velocity said...

bampiraako: Maganda nga yung Next Attraction, lalo na yung second half ng film.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona looks interesting. I saw Jay and didn't appreciate it for some reason. I dunno.

Visual Velocity said...

nostalgiaoutbreak: I love Vicky Cristina Barcelona. It's my favorite Woody Allen flick. =)

Axel said...

Ahahaha, ok lang yun... plug lang... lolz!!

Visual Velocity said...

Axel: Suwerte nila, libreng publicity sila sa kin. lol

VICTOR said...

A lot of people have told me Rachel Getting Married is pure awesome. But no one has actually told me to see it. So i have always wondered why.

Visual Velocity said...

Victor Gregor: Watch it! I've never liked Anne Hathaway, but this film made me appreciate her a little bit. :)

jayclops said...

great list. i have rachel, happy go lucky, the class are in my 2008 list too.

Visual Velocity said...

jayclops: Thanks man! I can't wait to see your list. Let me know when you're done.

jayclops said...

i was reading the comments and saw something on harper's bazaar. anong harper's bazaar cover yun? i might have gotten across it. i have this cover with comic caricatures of bush and cheney under the topic persecuting an outlaw administration. hmmmmmm. seems vaguely familiar right? kung gawin dito sa 'tin yan, mamatay yung writer and mawawala ang publication.

Visual Velocity said...

jayclops: Yeah, journalists live a dangerous life here. And it's all because of that bonsai woman.

Finally saw In the Loop after several weeks of procrastination. I love it! Half of the time I didn't understand what they're saying (walang subtitles tapos Brit accent pa), pero nag-enjoy pa rin ako, hehe.
