Thanks keating,

...and yeah, as Noel mentioned, I don't think I have a career in film criticism. I admit I'm too selfish and materialistic a person to dedicate myself to writing about films. There's more to life than moviewatching; but yeah, I have lots of idle time for idle moviewatching. It'll remain a hobby until I've made my millions.

Not selfish and materialistic--just realistic. You have to be nuts to go into this field.

Welcome, fellow nut!

Yeah. It's a thankless, crazy thing to want to do -  -  -writing about films. Least with music reviews, I got free CDs. Mostly free crap CDs but hey. :)

But the making millions then indulging in idle moviewatching sounds like a plan. I'm sort of doing that now . . .but without the millions. The glories of temporary bumhood.  ;D

Then you get people like rich--"how dare you step on these poor struggling filmmakers!" Jesus, as if film critics don't struggle.

Rather be steeped on than passed over (i.e.ignored) myself.

Pfft. There's no money in film criticism. Make millions, then spend your time in idle moviewatching...

What..... just labor of love, Noel? But you get some perks, right?

TRIBU is schedule to be shown at Cinemanila this week, tonedeaf. I think they will be adding more indies and Filipino films including Gosiengfiao's TEMPTATION ISLAND.
