horror? well his episode in Si Popeye Atbp. featured Celia Rodriguez and Orestes Ojeda as vampires...

Ah yes.....that craping episode! Too bad we can no longer watch it. NYMPHA is one of Peque's fave.

all we have are memories of that episode... Nympha was direk Joey's most daring movie.

keating · « **Reply #1263 on:** Mar 16, 2007 at 09:47 PM »

The accident sequence in SI POPEYE ATBP, was brilliant. Fantasy at its finest. NYMPHA was shown in Regal Presents back in 1988 with so many cuts.

Have you seen UNDERAGE recently, Jo?

Buendia at dusk covered in fog with a naked Orestes Ojeda searching for Celia Rodriguez....

Nympha was heavily censored during it's theatrical run as well..

Buendia looks so wide and open space in that movie. Ariel Ureta was also looking for a copy of SI POPEYE ATBP. Its even better than the Robert Altman POPEYE movie.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #1266 on:** Mar 16, 2007 at 10:01 PM »

it sure is better than Altman's... would you believe that i was scared to pass by Buendia after seeing it abandoned in Si Popeye Atbp?

You might think that a vampire was lurking there. Channel 13 used to show it and even replayed in the afternoon during the 80's!

jdv1229 · « **Reply #1268 on:** Mar 16, 2007 at 10:11 PM »

most probably... it was shown on channel 13 a lot! those were the days... too bad the u-matic tapes were burned during the first Edsa revolution.

keating · « **Reply #1269 on:** Mar 16, 2007 at 10:16 PM »

Before Cinema One, channel 13 was the premiere channel of Pinoy movies. Jo do you remember Alma's surname in NYMPHA? Hahaha!

How will ELEKTRIKA fare if it was made by Gosiengfiao? LOL!

jdv1229 · « **Reply #1270 on:** Mar 16, 2007 at 10:24 PM »

i always watched movies on channel 13... loved the films they showed. you mentioned Nympha's last name... di ako makapaniwala...

maybe films' look would've been different...

keating · « **Reply #1271 on:** Mar 16, 2007 at 10:31 PM »

ELEKTRIKA might probably have a glossy touch. MONTEVERDE man, NYMPHA MONTEVERDE.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #1272 on:** Mar 16, 2007 at 10:33 PM »

that's funny... maybe it was Mother Lily's true to life story...

Hahaha! Naku dude she might be reading this thread. LOL!

jdv1229 · « **Reply #1274 on:** Mar 16, 2007 at 10:36 PM »

only Joey could get away with something like that...

keating · « **Reply #1275 on:** Mar 16, 2007 at 10:38 PM »

Yeah agree. Joey's last gig as line-producer was in Lav Diaz' BATANG WEST SIDE.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #1276 on:** Mar 16, 2007 at 10:41 PM »

was it? he'll surely be missed...

keating · « **Reply #1277 on:** Mar 16, 2007 at 10:43 PM »

Was he the one who orchestrated the Pito Pito Film Festival in 1998?

jdv1229 · « **Reply #1278 on:** Mar 16, 2007 at 10:44 PM »

i'm not sure... wala na ako diyan.

keating · « **Reply #1279 on:** Mar 16, 2007 at 10:46 PM »

Lav Diaz is surely beholden to Joey, Jeffrey also.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #1280 on:** Mar 17, 2007 at 01:13 AM »

i guess every director who worked for Good Harvest owes him a debt of gratitude after all direk Joey was instrumental in getting their respective films produced...

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #1281 on:** Mar 17, 2007 at 01:09 PM »

Mother Lily approved the Good Harvest pito-pito festival, but Joey produced the films. It was his brainchild.

He's butted heads with both Lav and Jeffrey, Lav over Batang West Side, Jeffrey over Tuhog. I know Lav said a few words about Joey's passing, so I assume he's forgiven him; I haven't seen anything from Jeffrey yet, but I might have missed it.

keating · « **Reply #1282 on:** Mar 19, 2007 at 12:12 PM »

Joey was on the brink of organizing a retrospective film festival of his films on Cinema One before he passed away. Might be a premonition?

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #1283 on:** Mar 19, 2007 at 05:41 PM »

From Inquirer's latest article, it seems Joey and Jeffrey reconciled.

Compound (Will Fredo, 2006)

keating · « **Reply #1285 on:** Mar 20, 2007 at 07:38 PM »

Joey and Jeffrey had a shoving match when the former shortened some scenes for the theatrical release of Jeffrey's TUHOG.

But then, it was Joey who gave Jeffrey his first full-length feature via SANA PAG IBIG NA.

Jojo can you list the complete filmography of Joey Gosiengfiao?

jdv1229 · « **Reply #1286 on:** Mar 21, 2007 at 06:23 AM »

i will... i'm just putting everything together

keating · « **Reply #1287 on:** Mar 21, 2007 at 12:59 PM »

Got it bro. Thanks for the lists.

ANG TATAY KONG NANAY (Lino Brocka, 1978)

The comedy king gives his most brilliant portrayal as a gay beautician who adopted a son from his nephew. Dolphy gives the homosexuals a good name, even better than his portrayal of Markova. The former child wonder, Nino Muhlach acts sensitively. The scene inside the taxi where the picture of Philip Salvador was thrown outside will certainly cause you uproarious laughter. The monologue of Dolphy near the finale is the best reason why comedy flicks are always underrated.....a classic scene.

DALAWANG PUGAD....ISANG IBON (Ishmael Bernal, 1977)

Intelligent, entertaining and cinematic. Three words that best described a film by Ishmael Bernal. Bernal turned this film the other way around, sort of his homage to feminist angst. Vilma Santos is torn between her real ex-flame from the 70's, Romeo Vasquez and Mat Ranillo III. The two men shacks up with other women, much to the confusion of Vilma who must choose between the two. Its like a Fellini film, symbolisms and metaphors abound especially about love and relationships. The late Mary Walter adds another unforgettable character in her filmography as the grandma of Vilma. Can be seen back-to-back with Bernal's SALAWAHAN if you are looking for a great film about love and relationships. The situations are believable, still true up to now!
