Subas H. and Noel T. are very much alive, Telonistas.

Did you see Kris? Hyuk! Hyuk!

Can someone head on over to the film archive in Paris and retrive the final ending of Sister Stella L.?

God, didn't recognize Fr. Balweg! Kris first film should have been from Elwood but it took two years to finish.......PIDO DIDA was finished immediately, hahaha!

Telonistas....wala bang behind the scenes?

Handog was edited at Solid Video(Sony Phils)at Kalaw cr. U.N. Ave. just across Hiraya Gallery. The schedule person had to bump off Fr. Tropa and Space2000 groupies to give way to Mike's editing.

From Jim Paredes's site:

...Edru Abraham, Inang laya, Coritha and Eric, Noel and Subas, APO, Celeste, Kuh, Leah Navarro, Ivy Violan, Joseph Olfinfdo, and Lester Demetillo. Pretending to sing were Kris and Gretchen Baretto. How they ended in the video was a gig mystery. They were just suddenly there. It must have been the record company that wanted so-called 'star quality' for the video. It was to say the least, awkward for them and us.

This video is priceless for capturing the good we can all do if we were united.

Saw KISAPMATA again last night. I can't help but to compare the dream sequence of Charo Santos while walking down the stairs with water flowing to Kubrick's THE SHINING where gallons of blood flooded the hallway of the hotel.

Mike's dream sequence is more subtle yet you can't hide the horror of that powerful scene!

The original poster and title of SISTER STELLA L from the concept of Cesar Hernando.

keating · « **Reply #310 on:** May 28, 2007 at 07:15 PM »

One of the scenes from the movie.

keating · « **Reply #311 on:** May 28, 2007 at 07:20 PM »

The theatrical poster of SISTER STELLA L. Still puzzles me how did Mother Lily got the L title?

jdv1229 · « **Reply #312 on:** May 28, 2007 at 07:24 PM »

the films' original title was Sangandaan... you should see the original poster art by Cesar Hernando... much, much better...

keating · « **Reply #313 on:** May 28, 2007 at 07:27 PM »

The reviews are rapturous, I wonder why did the audience didn't watch this film in 1984, a year after Ninoy Aquino was shot and the political-angst was very much alive!

jdv1229 · « **Reply #314 on:** May 28, 2007 at 07:29 PM »

it was stomped by Bukas Luluhod Ang Mga Tala at the box office...

keating · « **Reply #315 on:** May 28, 2007 at 07:31 PM »

I remember that film, Sharon was a God during those times, imagine a theatre closed at once and the management padlocked it just to keep the people away from watching that movie.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #316 on:** May 28, 2007 at 07:33 PM »

i'm guilty of watching Bukas Luluhod Ang Mga Tala on opening day... three days later i went to see Sister Stella at an empty theater in Cubao...

Mother Lily's expression before SISTER STELLA L. opens......"uy wag ka ingay, ha. Ako Komunista na." After the showing........"ayoko na gawa justice, justice!"

Jojo was SISTER STELLA L. Mike's biggest flop? I wonder if Nora played the activist nun and not Vilma.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #320 on:** May 28, 2007 at 07:54 PM »

biggest flop? most probably since it's the only film he did with a famous actress and a bigger budget. the following year he would redeem his box office standing with Hindi Nahahati Ang Langit although his battles with Charo Santos made him decide to pull out his directing credit from the film.

if Nora played the role? it would've been a far greater film...

keating · « **Reply #321 on:** May 28, 2007 at 08:00 PM »

Mike became the villain during the preem of HINDI NAHAHATI ANG LANGIT when the print didn't arrive on the big event and the stars are all dress up for the occasion.

Mike's reply......."why all the fuss over this silly film?!"

jdv1229 · « **Reply #322 on:** May 28, 2007 at 08:04 PM »

maybe he thought the movie was silly but Hindi Nahahati is one of the best komiks based melodramas of the 80's...

keating · « **Reply #323 on:** May 28, 2007 at 08:06 PM »

Couldn't agree more. Imagine Mike doing more of these kind of stuff before computer graphics obsessed him in mid-80's.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #324 on:** May 28, 2007 at 08:09 PM »

ABS-CBN turned Hindi Nahahati Ang Langit into Walang Kapalit, a ridiculous tele novela that lacks Mike's self inffused subtlety in handling a komiks based material...

keating · « **Reply #325 on:** May 28, 2007 at 08:14 PM »

I don't really watch telenovelas since you have to watch it from the beginning to grasp the plot and the characters. A once a week mini-series is fine with me like CEBU.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #326 on:** May 28, 2007 at 08:22 PM »

so do i... the last tele novela i watched from beginning to end was Bituin... when i was still in Manila, i loved watching shows like Angkan, Luneta and Bernal's Maynila...

keating · « **Reply #327 on:** May 28, 2007 at 08:28 PM »

I wish Mike would dabble in the horror genre, pure horror!

jdv1229 · « **Reply #328 on:** May 28, 2007 at 08:37 PM »

that would've been exciting... he can definitely do a great job with it...

keating · « **Reply #329 on:** May 28, 2007 at 08:42 PM »

Will he make a comeback?
