It seems like Ted Mosbey (Josh Radner) is s decent director. Enjoyed happythankyoumoreplease. New York stills seems awesome and I have to say that there is that part of me that dreams of that city.
EDIT:: I heart this film. very quotable, we personal. It feels like an inner monologue.

Always a silver lining. I salute Admiral Guillermo Wong. This shows how someone who is a party to corruption can be more damaging. By removing the person who should have been a beacon of hope towards reforms in the Armed Services, he dimmed the light of reform and even showed the younger officers how moral uprightness becomes a cross against keeping the position.
“When I was there..the programmed P40 million every month for PCDA was being controlled by the chief of staff. If we cannot come up with the amount, this is augmented by the major services – Navy, Air Force and the Army – and the key budgetary units, the PMA, the PSG and AFP Medical Center or V. Luna (Hospital) so that we could generate the P40 million a month which is equivalent to about P480 million a year and that is the so-called PCDA that is readily available to the disposal of the chief of staff,” Rabusa said.
For his part, Trillanes said the PCDA was given various names such as incentive pay or core command staff representation.
He added that while a representation allowance for the chief of staff is understandable, a P5 million monthly allowance is “staggering.”
“That’s a systemic form of corruption. The leader loses his moral authority to cleanse the system because [the corruption] is automatic,” he said in Pilipino.
He noted that only one military official, Admiral Guillermo Wong, had the guts to turn down the offer of discretionary funds from the military comptroller. He thus had a free hand to clean up the Philippine Navy.
However, he was later removed from his post by Reyes.
Garcia can still testify

Rant on Koreanovela Endings
Why does a good ending have to always be one where the noble character dies. Fuck. I’m miffed after watching the ending of East of Eden, previously Queen Seon Dok and Money War. Fuck. Why are we so fixated with the Greek Tragedy. FUCK. Baker King seems very interesting but I don’t want to get pulled in.
On an interesting note, while in this demonic mood, What is the best revenge random people can do against the perpetrators of the a massacre (Watching GMA news; A victim of the Maguindanao Massacre was apparently raped before she was killed. The victim was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. She was bringing his husband to Cotabato City because his husband was very sick. Animals)? Top of my head is we could have syringes containing the blood of an AIDS infected person and while they are being brought to jail.
Inflationary Fears
I believe we are living in a deflationary world while here in our country the OFW remittances, the BPO industry and the Real Estate Boom are creating inflation pressures that aren’t easily handled by exchange rate movements. This is not going to end well.

A lot of people are scared. All that they can do is to tear people down because big people scare them.
Instead of considering what went into the design, we point at laugh at someone’s “terrible design”, retweet and reblog then go on with our superiour existence.

Love And Other Drugs
There is that kind of lovestory that I don’t get to see that often. It’s the not a romantic comedy, the comedy that has romance tucked into sometimes seemingly by accident, the zero chemistry super star vehicle. We get to see these things but mostly on short episodic movies like Love Actually and Valentines Day and the like. I believe the problem has always been that moderation , balance is the harder thing to accomplish. They almost hit that note with this movie, alas I don’t know if they wanted a movie done by an ADD and depressed person. The film felt done by someone taking ritalin and/or prozac. If that was the messiness they wanted then they succeeded. I cant recommend this movie, but I’ve seen it twice to see two excellent performances and dream of what could have been if they were more focused.
Finding Hope
for june who loved this garden and joseph who always sat beside her + Notting Hill
Musings on Anime 2010
I can think of three Great? animated films this year from the west Toy Story 3, How To Train Your Dragon and Tangled. Where are the great anime movies of yore?
Torn between programming and watching RPG Metanoia again. Programming might win because I don’t have to get up and take a bath. hehe.
Movie or Rest
Would really love to watch a movie but, I’m still a little tipsy from a fever.
rePost::To See:: LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS is a great relationship movie almost single-handedly ruined by one performance, says Capone!!! — Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.
At its core, LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS is, as the title implies, a love story and a perfect example of one at that. More than that, it’s the story of two adults falling in love. Yes, there are complications in the relationship, but they aren’t the kind of manufactured, childish bullshit that 95 percent of the world’s romantic comedies seem to thrive upon. These are real-world issues between two flawed individuals who are struggling to find a way to be together against adversities that could easily tear them apart. As upsetting as it might be to see them clumsily maneuver their way around the early stages of this serious relationship, because these two actors are as strong as they’ve ever been, it’s also highly entertaining. LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS is the film adults should make a point to see over this long weekend. As a bonus, for the first half of the movie, you couldn’t pay Hathaway to keep her clothes on. So, there’s that. Enjoy the hell out of this one, people.
