Although I wouldn't like to be called a rabid fan of Pinoy Blonde, I would like to just comment on the points that do not touch on opinion. Opinions are good, and I respect people's views. The fact that you watched a Pinoy film and gave it a chance, even though in the end it might've disappointed you, is a good sign. Anyway, I don't think that the red convertible to taxi mix-up is a continuity mistake. It plays for laughs, and when I saw it in Gateway, it did get laughs. Although I also thought it was done in bad taste, the Globe commercials, I think were also done for humor.
I'm actually wondering which parts of my post you didn't consider an opinion
I count one, though. Are there any more?
I laughed at the convertible/taxi mix up, too at first. Not because it seemed like a mix up, but just because. Then someone pointed out that it could have been a continuity thing. Something to think about.
And ever since
Keka came out a few years ago, I've stopped categorizing watching Pinoy films as "giving it a chance". Because Keka just made it obvious that Pinoy movies have broken the stereotype. And it was
that "Not so typical movie" that got me hooked.
I really don't mean to disrespect what you said and I hope you don't take this the wrong way but, thinking that to watch Pinoy movies just to give it a chance is underestimating the industry a bit. Pinoy movies have gotten better in the past few years. Just because everything
seems good, doesn't mean
everything's good.
And hey, search around. You'll see that I'm one of Unitel's biggest fans in here
and I'm not even being sarcastic, dude. I've started buying Pinoy movie DVDs
precisely because of Unitel (and of course, Quark's Keka).
If direk Peque did the Globe ad that blatantly just for laughs, then good for him. History will be the judge.
And don't you just hate it when this happens?:You have a negative opinion about a movie.
You post it.
Then suddenly, someone declares that
"If you are not really keen on watching Filipino movies, then sorry, this movie is not for you."Like you're suddenly
not keen on Filipino movies.
"What the f**k!?", right? I've criticized many American movies in the past, how come no one has accused me of
"Not being keen on American movies"!?
There's some stereotyping going on in here and it's not coming from me, is all I want to say...
Then again, that comment may not have been directed at me pala. Mwehehehe! Pahiya na lang ako, if ever, hehe...
And didn't I just praise the cast? Said that the "acting was superb"? Said it was "highly creative"? Doesn't anything count anymore?
