maybe cinema one gave him a copy. i know he wanted to re-edit the one they were showing... i'm not sure if he was able to do so.

Oro always turns out in festivals with missing and wrong footages.

I believe O'Hara's TATLONG TAONG WALANG DIYOS has some lost scenes also.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #92 on:** Jan 30, 2007 at 07:50 PM »

the only scene missing in Tatlong Taon was the sinungaling! sinungaling! scene. as it turned out FAMAS asked NV Productions to send them a clip they could show while announcing the nominees so Pearl Valdez cut the scene out from the master negative and sent it to them.... hopefully that secen is sitting somewhere at the FAMAS office.

They cut it straight from the master negative? How would they able to restore it? O'hara attended the TATLONG TAON screening recently at the CCP.

Too bad I missed it.

yup! O'Hara was there and Bembol Roco as well... i think they screened the restored 35mm copy which is exactly the same copy they show on cinema one. i have no idea how they can put the scene back but the story about that missing scene came from Ate Guy herself.

CCP has a copy of Wanted Perfect Mother...

keating · « **Reply #97 on:** Feb 05, 2007 at 07:53 PM »

I thought there is no existing copy anymore, Jo. That's good news. I'll email Ed Cabagnot to check it out.

Vincent Nebrida donated his copy of the movie...

Among the Regal babies during their heyday, Snooky has got to be the loveliest face, Dina the sensual type and Maricel, flawless.

Saw Maricel in Virra Mall during the 80's.

Bernal has an edge over Brocka when it comes to film debut. Brocka tackled the conventional komiks formula while Bernal did more original and compelling.

Maricel, or Marya, was our neighbor in Makati when we were kids in the 70s. She and her family, her dad Boy Soriano and her sister, Vicki, lived in an apartment right across the street from our house. We used to go out with our families to harrison plaza and some fairs. I doubt if she still remembers me though, it's been almost 30 years

When did Vincent donated his copy?

jdv1229 · « **Reply #105 on:** Feb 07, 2007 at 08:13 PM »

a while ago... he didn't even keep a copy for himself. Vincent just gave the VHS copy he had to CCP.

keating · « **Reply #106 on:** Feb 07, 2007 at 08:18 PM »

I called them today, but some of the films I'm looking they doesn't have also and they just refer me to Abs-Cbn.

Maybe they haven't update their catalogue. You can watch the films inside of their screening room for 50 bucks. CCP reminds me of Manila Film Center, the hallway creeps me everytime I go there.

keating · « **Reply #107 on:** Mar 11, 2007 at 06:44 PM »

GONE, GONE, GONE. Lino Brocka's LUNES MARTES MIYERKULES HUWEBES BIYERNES SABADO LINGGO. A chunk was found at the archive of LVN rotting already, hence only LINGGO survived

. Vicky Belarmino, film archivist of CCP attest to this.

That's awful! Can't we just donate our archives to wealthy countries that can keep (and probably restore) them for us? They can use any revenues from distributing copies of the film to pay for storage/restoration. Also, what's the possibility that some of these films might be available outside the country?

Hey Jojo someone has the film reel of SUPERGIRL and ELEKTRIKA. Jeez..... I almost fell on the couch and got a heart attack!

jdv1229 · « **Reply #110 on:** May 20, 2007 at 07:40 PM »

really? hopefully whoever has them will sell the prints to cable networks so they can be watched once again...

keating · « **Reply #111 on:** May 20, 2007 at 07:45 PM »

Let's hope that the print was transferred already to umatic tapes if not, those reels are already stinking due to vinegar syndrome. Most of Sine Pilipino Prods. like ZOOM ZOOM SUPERMAN, my source said the person here in Manila has it!

jdv1229 · « **Reply #112 on:** May 20, 2007 at 08:18 PM »

whoever it is should give the exisiting copies to cinema one...

keating · « **Reply #113 on:** May 20, 2007 at 08:20 PM »

We gonna find out this coming July. I want to watch ZOOM ZOOM SUPERMAN again in all its camp glory.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #114 on:** May 20, 2007 at 08:58 PM »

here's hoping everyone would get the chance to see it again...

Gerry de Leon's DAIGDIG NG MGA API is forever lost in oblivion.

RMN · « **Reply #116 on:** May 21, 2007 at 11:22 AM »

Shown on free TV last night, which I had the priviledge to see, was Paano na ang kahapon kung wala na ang Ngayon, one of the unrecognized masterpieces of Philipine Cinema. I didn't get to catch the director but I must say that the acting all around--Christina Gonzales in particular--was superb! And the dialogue, oh the the dialogue! The most smart, profound and wittiest ever to grace the big screen! Riveting storyline too, which kept me on the edge of my seat. Why, oh why, haven't the critics taken notice of this gem? In my by book, this ranks as a classic among Pinoy melodramas. Bar none. No debate.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its from Danny Zialcita, Mon.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #118 on:** May 21, 2007 at 07:15 PM »

that was his last film with Mark Gil & Jaclyn Jose although it wasn't as great as let's say Nagalit Ang Buwan Sa Haba Ng Gabi...

keating · « **Reply #119 on:** May 21, 2007 at 07:23 PM »

I only caught snippettes of it and the dialogue are too long but still there's a trademark of a Zialcita flick.
