After watching Simpsons, I visited their official website. Lo and behold! The site was as fun as the movie. And so, I simpsonized myself and my wife. Check out how we look when Simpsonized:
This is me and my wife…simpsonized!
Below are our pictures while in Springfield:
Spider pig…spider pig…
I just finished watching Simpsons the Movie…and my wife cringed to death. hehehe. She never liked my taste for comedy movies. I love to watch Bean, Simpsons, American Dad and the like. They’re all satires about life in general. Satires are social commentaries about how we act in real life and mirrors them in a rather weird funny way. To put it in another way, the Simpsons is more than just a funny cartoon. It reveals truth about human nature that rivals the works of great philosophers like Plato, Kant, Hume and the like. And it presents this while Homer plays around with his pet pig: “Spider pig…spider pig…” hehehe.
But really, it does take a different look at life — Homer style:
Life views: “Because sometimes the only way you can feel good about yourself is by making someone else look bad. And I’m tired of making other people feel good about themselves.”
Religion: “What’s the big deal about going to some building every Sunday, I mean, isn’t God everywhere?”
Here’s another for religion: “And what if we’ve picked the wrong religion? Every week we’re just making God madder and madder?”
On Debate: “Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that’s even remotely true.”
After almost 5 years of waiting, Arthur Golden’s classic book about geishas is finally made into a film. And yes, I’m one of those who’s eagerly waiting for this book to be made into a movie. Yup, this is a “girly” novel…but I actually enjoyed reading…especially about how Sayuri was devirginized in a ritual called mizuage. Hehehe.Now, there’s a lot of classic books immortalized into movies and I’ve read quite a few them. Sometimes though, the film does not capture much what is being relayed in the novel. And that’s pretty disappointing. Although I enjoyed the movie, there are a few disappointing things in the movie…
For one, why do chinese dominate the roster? Alanganin tuloy yung portrayal ng Jap moves ng mga geisha…pati nga ung mukha ng mga Jap, ibang-iba sa mga Chinks di ba? Compare mo nga sa Japanese AVI idols collection mo…ang layo kaya ng pagmumukha nila.
Here, let me show you:
O ayan, pinagtabi ko na ung original concept geisha ni Arthur Golden at obra maestra ni Rob Marshall. Just stare at the two pictures for 5 seconds, pansin mo na kaagad ang kaibahan. Need I say more? hehehe.
If you ask me, I’d say that you have to read the book first before you ever watch the movie. You’d miss a lot of interesting details sa story…usually when Golden explains this or that…most especially about how Sayuri got devirginized. Bwehehehe.
Anyway, below is a tag from www.youtube.com. I’m sure you’ll love the spoof.
