Jaywalker's review of Transformers the live action movie


Premiere pro runs too slowly on my PC. The preview pane is practically useless. I have to compile the video first before seeing the errors in the movie. Some of the scenes were cut abruptly and there were some extra scenes in the end. Sorry? I was also a little high on sugar so i was talking a little fast(Read More)

Hypnosis: My new short film



Ok this clip has a really funny story. It was originally supposed to be a comedy skit. But then I thought that the atmosphere was really nice so I decided to make it a serious, horror vid. But I overdid it a little bit so it’s a bit funnier than I originally intended. I’m officially calling it a comedy/horror video so whatever reaction you get from it, I’m safe

Seriously though, I’m really proud of the cinematography of this vid. Take note that I’m a complete amateur and that this is a one-man produc(Read More)

I hate Filipino culture

Now before you post hate comments, let me first say that I’m no elitist. I’m not even rich in the first place so I have no right to be elitist. I’m not one of those snobs who wouldn’t recognize the country of their origin either. I’m actually quite nationalistic. Read the entry in its entirety before commenting

I hate the inter-cultural ignorance that permeates our society.
Few cultures condone racism. It wasn’t too long ago when Whitney Tyson was regularly made fun of in TV shows because she was part black. And still, today the term negra is a term that can be used very liberally, in public, with little consequence. The sad part is that instead of quelling it, mainstream media is actually responsible for encouraging this type of mentality. When a Filipino sees a black man, either he’d stare at him, snicker or give a derogatory comment. When I was in grade school, the “conductor” of our school bus was African American. He got a lot of stares from people and I felt a sorry for him. Ironically, Filipinos are very sensitive when it comes to issues about their own race. When a biscuit was named after us, a lot of people were offended. And when Claire Danes made some negative comments about the Philippines, she didn’t only receive hate mail, our government actually banned her from ever entering the Philippines. That’s just embarrassing. Who the hell elected emotionally insecure kids to run our government?

I hate wowowee and eat bulaga. I hate their brand of humor. I hate the way the members of the audience bounce up and down and laugh like escaped mental patients as they sing their favorite novelty songs. My blood pressure shoots up whenever I hear novelty songs like “itaktak mo” and “boom tarat tarat”
I hate entertainers who dress up like drag queens and make fools of themselves for the sake of comedy, which isn’t even funny in the first place. It disgusts me. I don’t have much respect for people who have no sense of dignity and self-respect
I don’t get Jimmy Santos. Why is someone getting paid so much money for intentionally speaking carabao English. Is that supposed to be funny? Maybe so if it was unintentional. Majority of Filipinos talk like that naturally. They’re a lot funnier than jimmy santos but they don’t get paid a single centavo. Why is pun and slapstick always the main course in Filipino comedy? It’s not even witty pun. It’s just pure dumb “if-you-replace-a-word-with-a-random-word-that-sounds-the-same- it’s-funny” type of pun. I occa(Read More)

top 10 emerging influential blogs

I apologize for the recent lack of updates. My PC died on me. A lot of the entries and videos that i'm working on are in that pc's hdd.. It's either the mobo or the processor. Either way, I've decided that I'm gonna build a new PC.
If you're into nonsensical, pretentiously artsy fartsy videos, watch out for hypnosis part 2. I actually have a script this time, written specifically with the purpose of making the vid even more nonsensical. I'm also planning to post some gadget video reviews. I just got a new O2 XDA mini PDA phone. I'll be posting a video review of that.


Now on to the butt kissage:
This is supposed to be a submission for the “top 10 emerging infuential blogs” project. I was supposed to post this a week ago. I think they no longer accept submissions but I’m posting it anyway. Take note that only blogs that were created not earlier than may 2006 qualify
These are the first 5 blogs that came to mind.I'll be updating this entry again sometime next week to add 5 more blogs.
If any of these blogs catches your fancy, You may wanna subscribe to their feeds so you'd be notified everytime they update their blogs. I use google reader to subscribe to feeds. Just login using your yahoo ID and then add the URL of the blog that you wanna subscribe to. Also, while you're at it, subscribe to my blog's feeds as well.(Read More)
