HOLY SHIT, WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT YAOI CANON COULD BE FOUND IN SAILORMOON?
Zoisite and Konzite, two men working under Queen Metallia, are openly gay. Zoisite (with his beautiful blonde curls) even tells Konzite that he loves him and shit, and they cuddle while FLOWERS BLOOM IN THE BACKGROUND before Zoisite finally dies. And then Konzite angsts like there's hell to pay, AND--
DID I MENTION I LOVE THIS SERIES? I can't wait until we finish downloading Sailormoon S, which has the best storyline, in my opinion. Haruka x Michiru, yay!

The Metro Manila Film Festival is the perfect example of why most of our movie producers should drop down dead after vomiting their innards on the floor. Three fucking movies won for Best Picture. According to Bayani Fernando, if the movie is a hit, it automatically means that it deserves to win Best Picture. So, like, Harry Potter should be Best Picture. Riiiight.
MUSHROOM'S HIT LIST:
1. Mother Lily
2. Mother Lily
3. Mother Lily (Yes, she should be killed and resurrected, only to be violently murdered again)
4. Joel Lamangan
5. ...and other fuckers
I have lost all hope for the Metro Manila Film Festival, an event that claims to feature only the best of Philippine cinema. Our "real" best works are the indie films, which garner dozens of awards around the globe--created with a meager budget but with inspiring dedication. However, as my professor in Creative Writing stated: Why can't we make GREAT box-office hits? Why do they have to be independent films? It happened before, with Jose Rizal and Muro-Ami. These days, producers are so intent on creating crap to feed the masses, and they've lost the will and fucking dignity to educate movie-goers. They're an insult to Filipinos and the human race.
Really, the MMFF gets dumber and dumber every year. I wonder if anything else could top this year, which is the worst event in film history. Damn it, Mark Meily, save us!

My Predictions Regarding Harry Potter and
(I mean, geez, after the huge disappointment that was Half-Blood Prince, what's left to expect?)
In Which Harry and Draco will have an epic battle as true-blue rivals
This is to be expected. I mean, Draco was announced to have a "greater purpose" for the villains. Out of the blue. It'll a teenage showdown! With lots of angst and cursing! Draco will also confess that he's been in love with Ginny all this time, fulfilling the True Rival Law (which states that your rival in strength and power must also be your rival in love). His untimely confession sends Harry into a hysterical rage. Cue epic battle of nfaoth9qawogbaog proportions:
DRACO: ALL YUOR POWAHZ ARE BELONG TO MEH!
HARRY: LOLZ I KEEL YOU! *stabz with sword*
DRACO: I r ded *expires*
HARRY:
In Which There are Multiple Weddings
Yes, everything is bright and beautiful in Potterverse. July weddings, yay (Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Remus has been straightened up, pun intended)! The brides are gorgeous in their wedding dresses, the men sport toothy grins and slick hair, etc. etc.
Welcome to the
Hagrid x Madame Maxime
Bill Weasley x Fleur Delacour
Remus Lupin x Pink-haired Whatsit
Harry Potter x Ginny Weasley
Ron Weasley x Hermione Granger
Dobby x Winky
Nuptials
Which is interrupted as soon as the brides approach the altar, for alas, Voldemort appears! Soon, everything and everyone blows up into pieces, providing more angst for poor Harry, and giving him enough ammo for the final battle.
In Which Harry Survives the Final Boss Battle, but is Severely Injured, both Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, and Spiritually
Yes. Harry Lives, in my opinion. It's just that he's damaged beyond repair. Not quite a happy ending, isn't it? There is an epilogue, featuring Luna Lovegood pushing Harry in a wheelchair. She is beautiful, her light-coloured hair tied in an elegant chignon, and talks to Harry about many magical creatures, which he, sadly, cannot recall. (I still have high hopes for a HarryxLuna, whereas my SiriusxRemus soul has shrivelled up and died)
I'd rather kill Remus off than let him live with that...thing.
In Which There Is a Thought-Provoking Ending
JK Rowling has stated that "scar" is the last word to appear in the final installment of the Harry Potter series. The ending will leave us hanging, no doubt. I think the last sentence will probably be "Harry looked ahead, not seeing anything at all, and starts fingering his scar."
I don't know why, but the term fingering just cracks me up.
In which Luna Lovegood smites them all with her army of heliotropes
They could be true, you know. Luna doesn't seem like the type who would lie. You see, before Harry discovered the Wizarding world, he did not believe in specters, house-elves, or anything else involving magic. Maybe there are some things that even wizards don't believe in, but they actually exist. You know?
In which "Scar" Is Not The Last Word, But:
Harry, bleeding and spent, closed his eyes and waited for death.
But then he heard a cackle, and he forced them open.
Voldemort was there. He was alive. The Dark Lord managed to survive his super special awesome attack, which was the love he had for his friends. Harry glanced at his bleeding chest, then back at his archenemy.
His eyes widened. "Oh shi--"

A bit prematurely, I think! Now all contracts are signed, deals finalised and money handed over, JKR can regain possession of her soul. If Book 7 is going to take Harry back to Godric's Hollow, we can expect all the slashy R/S subtext to come pouring out of the ruins (sorry, that sounds a bit dirty, doesn't it?) and engulf the entire story in hot boy-love and sex. Well, we can expect it. Whether or not we'll get it is another matter, but I predict enough action to revive the flagging R/S fandom totally.
Apart from those strange mentions of the weird person stalking Remus, you probably have it pretty well sewn up here, though. I really, really adore the idea that the last word will be 'shit'. If you were JKR, I'd be saying 'I dare you.' :D
Yes. Harry Lives, in my opinion. It's just that he's damaged beyond repair.
Well, this is the RL version, in which he's already been put on the Child Abuse Register and been in therapy for the past ten years. It's also by far the most logical ending, so it probably won't happen. I mean, like you, I've avoided HPB beyond one perfunctory reading, but that rather jolly last sentence threw me completely. You know, the pink hair at the funeral is a metaphor for JKR completely glossing over Harry's probable mental state.
Okay, this is a really long comment! I loved your take on the horribly named book, though, in case you haven't gathered that.
Maybe there are some things that even wizards don't believe in, but they actually exist.
*squishes* *and Luna too, for good measure*
wherein Sirius and Remus shag at every opportunitywhere we can see more slashy subtext. Yes. Subtext is good.I also think that Sirius will play a big role, plus the broken shards in Harry's trunk. But I'm too pessimistic. ;_; My high hopes have been shattered when Snape started droning on and on about being evil in a single chapter, which was really lazy writing.
You know, the pink hair at the funeral is a metaphor for JKR completely glossing over Harry's probable mental state. And the hand-holding. I mean, seriously, someone dies, and you have time to flirt.
*squishes you, too* Hey, have you received my card? Hope you like it. xD
My high hopes have been shattered when Snape started droning on and on about being evil in a single chapter, which was really lazy writing.
Yes, 'lazy writing' is quite a good way to describe a lot of HBP, actually. I wonder what JKR thinks of it herself now.
D'you know, I'd forgotten the hand-holding! You see, I've blotted so much of the Tonks stuff out... I prefer to think of Crabbe and Goyle as girls.
*squishes again* ♥
I'll let you know when I get yours, too. :D
I don't understand the Filipino movie industry >:| Even gay porn written by a fourteen year old could have more substance than the shit the big guns spew.
GAY PORN SHALL SAVE FILIPINO FILMS YAY xD
IMAGINE WANK/THREADS/POSTS for it go on for probably, 5 years LOL.
GAY PORN SHALL SAVE FILIPINO FILMS YAY xD
Are you interested in investing? >DDDDDDD
and spread the butt secksand make some films. xDwahahahahaha... can't.stop.laughing.
Really?
It's such a shame, because Filipinos can SO do better than this. It's one of the things that have been bothering me. I see so many individuals that are ripe with so much potential, and I wonder why we don't produce any good movie.
...It also sucks because giving a genuinely good but underrated film that title would introduce it to us so we can give it the love it deserves... *sighs*
Lol at the possible Harry Potter endings. XD I like the Harry/Luna one best. I have no pet pairings in HP, since I've kinda outgrown it and only read it because... well, because. But that'd be a really cool way to end it~
I really don't remember what's going on in Harry Potter anymore. After Sirius Black died, nothing else registered. What I can recall from the last book was that I was disappointed by the turn of Snape's character.
True Rival Law. XD XD XD
Their usual excuse is that "that is what the Filipino wants." And by Filipino they mean that majority of Pinoys are poor. I see what they mean, that they're just trying to sell in order to survive in the business, but not only are they insulting the poor, they are also limiting their capability to understand things.
But that's not the case. I'm sure if everyone watched Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros, they'd still love it, regardless of social class. It's repulsing to think that these fucking executives want to "survive in the business" by extorting money from the POOR, of all people.
/end long rant (I miss these discussions! xD)
I've also outgrown HP, I practically don't give a damn, but I'm still curious. After all, I used to admire JK Rowling's works (still do, but it's lessened somewhat).
And you're right, MMFF is really one big joke. It's not a filmfest, it's a commercial fest. They're not doing it for the love of film, they're doing it for the love of money. X-/
wala lang. random. x_x
mmff lol.
Those were the days. After GMA films went down, I have yet to see movies like those ones. And IIRC, GMA films went back up but begun spewing crap just like the other studios. Bleh.
Enteng Kabisote as best picture? WTFHAX! Bayani Fernando should stick to traffic instead. At least he does a little better there.
I was watching (again) the deleted scenes in HPCoS this morning and there's one scene there where Harry goes, "what if someone does something terribly wrong and isn't aware of it..." or something and then he asks, "what else don't I know about me!?" Me: Pfft. Gay. And then another "what am I?" Me: GAY!xDDDD
*in Pokemon's James' voice* Ooooh~ Deathly~xD
xD Oh, we haven't burned the Sailormoon series yet. We're in the process of finishing the downloads. :D
BTW did you happen to stumble upon NeoComics? I need to know their email address so I can write a long angry letter.
I don't know what the hell is actually wrong with the media these days. But I do understand why Indies can't trust them with their work unless they want what happend to Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah and others.
I miss Culture Crash! I don't understand why it went under. It wasn't perfect but the CCCom staff did their best to give us ONLY the best they could. T_T
I actually know the reason why they separated ways. Sayang nga eh. I mean, they already had their own merchandise and stuff. They were actually very successful.
I heard they went under because either they couldn't continue or lacked funding. I guess it went along the lines of that they didn't have enough funding then lost the will to continue their comic. T_T BTW do you know of any pinoy comics that are interesting?
