The Futuristic Movie Timeline
Hey! I didn’t know that we’ll be having robot cops and hoverboards in a few years! According to danmeth.com:
No one really pays much attention to what year sci-fi movies take place. I thought it would be interesting to arrange some classic films about the future into chronological order and see what we’d find. I’ve also charted the years in which they were released as well as the current year. This is by far the geekiest thing I’ve ever done.
* I only included movies in which Wikipedia knew the exact year.
Star Wars fun!
Here are awesome photos from Chris Veigh featured in this previous post. This pictures were taken from his Flickr Account, with more absurd and quirky situations featuring his Star Wars figures. Check it out!
Life without war.
Be careful whenever you enter the room!
Maybe they'll fall for our dance routine!
I know! I'm sorry!
Tell me what you think!
Star Wars and Chipmunks
www.telegraph.co.uk featured some of Chris Veigh’s work regarding photos of Star Wars figures and chipmunks. And yes, you read it right! Chipmunks.
In 2005 Chris befriended a female he later named Buddy after she was accidentally trapped in his dad’s garden shed. “It took a while until she totally trusted me,” said Chris. “But patience and a lot of almond offerings eventually paid off”
“Once I got close to them I realised I could pretty much do anything and they didn’t bat an eye-lid,” he explained.
“I’m not sure where the idea came from but I had plenty of Star Wars figures and I thought I could probably get one to sit on their backs without them caring. It all started from there,” he said.
New Moon Breaking News
Though I didn’t really like the Twilight movie nor the book (both were disappointing), I have news from Robert Pattison himself about the new movie he’s working on as the very mysterious, and wickedly handsome (according to some female Ewoks near me) vampire Edward Cullen.
According to thenerdybird.com:
Robert Pattinson has confirmed there will be a film version of the fourth and final Twilight book, Breaking Dawn. Pattinson told the Hollywood Reporter in Cannes on Tuesday “that he is committed to starring in the final outing to date but doesn’t know when backers Summit Entertainment will begin production because of the actor’s jam-packed shooting schedule.”
Pattinson also spoke about his role in New Moon which has been increased considerably. “You’re playing a figment in Bella’s imagination so I was trying to do it in a 2-D way. I hope it doesn’t translate onscreen as being boring,” he said, laughing. Hey, at least he’s aware.
And here’s the first official teaser poster for New Moon. Check it out and try not to smother your monitor with kisses okay? The Dark Lord of the Sith will not be pleased.

holy week survival guide 2
What a day! My comrades ditched me on what was supposed to be Number #6 on our list, a Prayer Meeting/ Inuman Session. Pfft! Well, here it goes:
TIP #6 Prayer Meeting/Inuman/Videoke
For this one, you can actually do this by yourself! (But it is much too depressing.)
What you need:
A cellphone (With load of course!)
An Old School Landline
Beer/ Gin/ Whiskey/ Whatever-Alcoholic-Drink-You-Can-Grab
You favorite pulutan. (Sisig!)
Guitar/ Videoke is optional.
You can contact your friends who’s also on the same boat as you. However, it may be a daunting task. Why?
Consider this: they were also ditched by friends and family, they have no money to buy prepaid load to reply to your messages, they lost the ability to use a regular phone due to too much texting, and they are still sulking in the corner like you.
Let’s CRUNCH some NUMBERS!
But don’t give up! Out of 18 people you may contact, you may have:
a 10% chance of getting a ‘Yes’,
a 20% ‘No‘ replywith a bunch of STUPID alibis,
and 70% chance of getting ignored. Still, that’s two persons! Better than having none.
If ever you are lucky enough to pull enough people to join you in your misery err.. cause, make sure: everyone brings something (the more booze, the merrier!), you don’t get too loud (it’s Holy Week, remember?), and try to be discreet. (I advise that you stay indoors at this time, old folks might literally crucify you for your evildoings.)
Old school! Yeah!
TIP# 7 Use your Remote!
Fine, fine… You miss Wowowee, Eat Bulaga, or whatever crap noontime show you are usually watching. Your loyalty to a specific channel would not help you at this point. (Ehem… Kapuso? Kapamilya? WTF?)
Slowly take your remote control, yes, it is not just to turn the TV on and off, adjustingthe volume and nothing else. You can actually switch channels! YES, YOU CAN SWITCH CHANNELS. It is not a sin. I repeat, it is not a SIN. 
After lifting up your remote, point it toward your television set and press Five twice. (Yes, start from a higher numbered cable channel so that you’d lose the urge of going back to 2 or 7, when you start on a lower numbered channel.) Then, start going down the channels. 55- 54- 53- 52- 51 … got it? Fight all urge to press number 2 or 7 once (or whatever cable channel equivalent it may have.)
Yes, you can actually watch movies on channels like HBO and Star Movies 24/7!
TIP # 8 Ragnaro– Wha–?? 
Try making a character on popular online games like RF Online, Cabal Online and dozens of others. If your friends ditched you in real life, well, good for you, you can find tons and tons of virtual friends. Of course, nothing can compare to real ones, but what the heck! They ditched you right? LOL.
TIP # 9 Advance!! (This one is for cubers…)
You already know how to solve the cube in N seconds, you can solve it One-Handed, know all the PLL’s and OLL’s there is to know, etc… Why not learn a more advanced technique or puzzle?
Try learning blindfold solving (like me), know more about commutators, solve a megaminx or a big cube, and teach your friends. I assure you, when you get back to your regular 3×3 cube, you’d be so much better.Having better recognition and execution, better look ahead in effect, making solving 3×3’s boring… I’m not really sure if that’s a good or bad thing, but it’s all up to you…
TIP # 10 Pray…
Surprised? Don’t be. This is the perfect time to reflect about your life, and your impact on others these past few months.
Did you make them happy? Are you happy? What bad habits would you like to change? Have you been a good son/ daughter? These are some things you can ponder about. And if you forgot how to pray the Holy Rosary, here’s something that might help you:
TIP # 11 Have Fun!
If I’m not mistaken, this is the only TWO OFFICIAL CONSECUTIVE holidays (Marked RED on the calendar) in the Philippines, so better make good use of it. Bond with your family (if you’re always out working), make amends, contemplate, and relax.
Check out Part 1!
Chill! Vote!
HOLY WEEK Survival Guide 1
Are you feeling lonely and left out? (Because you’re friends and family ditched you (accidentally or not, still sucks) on that oh-so-spectacular trip to the beach?) You’re company outing sucks and you didn’t want to go? Or is it the other way around?! But still, you find yourself all alone…
Fear not, my Young (or Old)Padawan! I will equip you with enough tips to survive this year’s Semana Santa or more Holy Weeks to come! (You can let go of the razor blade…=p)
TIP # 1 Food Rations!
Since most groceries and supermarkets close up during Holy Week (they’re on a vacation too, remember? Oh yeah! They left you… LOL), it is wise to go shopping before this happens. Stock up on the bare essentials since you don’t know when they might come back. (They might enjoy the beach too much they might forget they left someone behind and stayed there for a month! )
Canned goods? Check!
Shampoo, soap, etc? Check!
Dog Food? Check! (Yeah, you have to feed them too!)
Anything you can fry? (Hotdogs, ham, eggs, tocino) Check!
TIP # 2 Movie Madness
Go to your nearest suking DVD seller or to Quiapo and buy dozens upon dozens of movies!
A good selection would be: Horror- Action- Suspense- Sci-fi- Horror- Fantasy-Korean in alternating order… Yes, I did not include Drama into the mix for obvious reasons!
Make sure that you’re getting more bang for your buck! You can buy 25-in-1 movie compilations of these for the same price of two new ones. What a bargain!
You can also get TV series Compilations even Anime Series like: Heroes, Supernatural, Grey’s Anatomy, House, Bleach, Naruto… (These titles are highly recommended by our panel of judges.)
TIP # 3 Gamer’s Heaven
If you’re not the movie buff type, you can also amuse yourself by brushing off the dust from your old Gameboy or beef up the number of games you have on your PSP.
Though playing with others is much more fun, that is a luxury we do not have…(Your imaginary friend does not count.)
Hadouken!
TIP# 4 Watch Free Anime Online
While the rest of the world is getting a higher risk of developing skin cancer than you, you still have the right to go online. If you are still using bunny ears for your television set and “cable” for you is just a rubber cord, the internet can be your friend. (But how the hell did you find my site??)
You can watch anime shows online and even movies! Just go to crunchyroll.com and you are good to go…
There, you can find the latest episodes of your favorite anime series and watch Asian movies with a wide range of genres to choose from. (Signing up could also give you additional perks.)
Hai!
TIP # 5 Manga Galore! (While others are doing Pabasa.)
So you’ve checked out the latest episode of Naruto: Shippuden and you’re itching to know if Kakashi lives?? Do not despair! You can check out the manga version of your favorite anime on onemanga.com!
Again, you can check out the scanned pages of your favorite manga for free! Cool huh?
Check out PART 2!
This blog is so cool! Vote for it!
how nerdy are you? hmmm…
Stumbled again at another site, this time, you could take a test on how nerdy or geeky you are! I rarely answer this kind of stuff but since I was taking the heat of not waking up early for the Nth time, heck! Why not!
Just go to this site for a basic nerd quiz. Basically, it’ll just grade your nerdiness on a series of questions and boy was I surprised at the results! (Not really! hee hee) Here are my results!
really? lol!
However, if you’re not satisfied, you can take the second version of this one. It’s more detailed in nature, scoring you on different areas of geekdom such as computers, technology, literature, etc. And again, here’s a screen cap of how I did:
rawr!
score breakdown
And after scoring you, they will give a badge to show your nerd / geek pride! Here’s mine:
I honestly don’t think I’m a nerd though… But hey!
Geek or not, VOTE!
Geek Stuff: Marvel Movie Updates!
I stumbled upon this upon browsing the AOTS (Attack of the Show) blogs and something interesting caught my attention. It seems that when Sony Pictures Entertainment formally announced the release date of Spider-man 4 on May 6, 2011. This made Marvel Studios adjust the release dates of the other four super-hero movies in the works. Here’s the full article from IESB.net:
Marvel released a slew of new release dates for its films early today including THOR, THE AVENGERS and SPIDER-MAN 4!Paving the way for the production and release of “The Avengers,” Marvel announced today an adjusted release pipeline for its self-produced feature film properties that reflects the first time individual super hero characters and story arcs will be inter-woven and culminate in a multi-character motion picture.Separately, Marvel Studios confirmed today that Sony Pictures Entertainment will release “Spider-Man 4” on May 6, 2011. Additionally, Marvel Studios has revised the release dates for “Thor” and “The First Avenger: Captain America” as part of its release strategy for an uninterrupted road to “The Avengers,” now debuting May 4, 2012.
A Marvel character-based film will now launch the summer box office season for three years in a row, from 2010 through 2012.

my sassy memories
It’s amazing how a simple song could transport you back, years at a time, to a place, or moment that you somewhat have forgotten. The song “Canon in D minor” played on my iPod and I was pleasantly surprised that it was still there. Memories flashed back like how a movie would… (Cue: weird sound effects) Familiar odors of smoldering banana-cue filled my nostrils, with sweat treading along my yellowing nursing uniform. It was a pleasant sunny afternoon, not quite sure what year it was, and I was waiting outside the college grounds for someone.. I t was too darn hot and I rushed to look for shade. She reminded me so much of this song and the movie it was featured in. The long hair, pale complexion, chinky eyes and her sassy attitude always kept me on my toes. The movie “My Sassy Girl” from 2001 was very… uhmmm… how shall I put it…ah! Nostalgic (?) for me. Too much memories, hormones, and emotions come flailing back. Starring Jeon Ji-hyun (Marry me!) and Cha Tae-hyun, was the No. 2 box office hit in the South Korean capital Seoul, and I never get tired of watching this over and over. (For the record, I’ve seen this movie a dozen times and the remake, about three times now.) Anyway, it hatched three adaptations already: a Japanese drama of the same name, the American remake last 2008 starring Elisha Cuthbert (Marry me too!) and India’s Bollywood version, Ugly Aur Pagli. Nope, I won’t write a review for this movie. Too many have been written and I think it’s obvious enough that I loved it still love it. Up to this day, nothing beats the original version’s simplicity, honesty and quirkiness. (And I’ve experienced a lot of similar experiences just like Gyeon-Woo did.) Instead, I’ll just post some trivia about the movie and some links about it. (Too much drama….can’t…write…anymore…)
- The runaway soldier at the Girl’s birthday was mentioned before. When Gyeon-woo chased after the Girl and called her baby, he ran back to the restaurant, before he said “You call a wrong number or the dial is not in service, please call again”, the TV announced a news about the runaway soldier.
- The Girl’s ex-boyfriend was drowned. Why? Because the Girl and Gyeon-woo’s aunt (who is also the exbf’s mother) always cry near the lake. And the Girl asked Gyeon-woo to jump into the water to show how deep it is. She pushed Gyeon-woo into the water and saved him, she was pretending to save her ex-bf. The Girl also threw her necklace into the lake.
- The 2 men at the bar (where Gyeon-woo and the Girl ordered Golbangee and soju) who were picked by the Girl, are the deputy director of the movie and movie reporter.
- Gyeon-woo’s handkerchief is the same as the Girl’s ex-bf’s, the only difference is Gyeon-woo’s has circular pattern and ex-bf’s has square pattern.
- After Gyeon-woo said his “10 rules to follow”, the Girl chased him and passed him at a food stand. The man at the left of Gyeon-woo, who was drinking, is the director of the movie.
- When Gyeon-woo was hit by the tennis ball on the face several time, he fell, saw the Girl’s panties and smiled ^_^
- The runaway soldier first used K1A1(Korea manufactured). But in front of the merry-go-round the gun changed to M4A1 (USA manufactured) o.0
- When Gyeon-woo first carried the Girl to the hotel, there was a piece of newspaper of the quins. The 4 of the 5 brothers showed up in the movie. 1st one is the Hotel owner. 2nd one is the Hotel check in guy. 3rd one is the gangster in Jail. 4th one is the guy next to the subway announcer. The 4 people are all played by one actor.
- The birthday Email that Gyeon-woo got from the Girl was a flash animation not lycos Email,the address is Disk C/ My Documents. (you can see this on DVD)
- On the Girl’s second synopsis (the martial art one), the line after the Title says: “whoever dislike this story will get bothered by ghost”
- At the end, the Girl said: I think i met a man from the future, from your future.” That man from the future is the old guy under the tree. He is also the old Gyeon-woo from the future. Why? Remember the Girl said: “I think UFOs as time machines.” at the cafe? Watch carefully when the Girl reads Gyeon-woo’s letter under the tree, a thing flied from right to left and disappeared in the sky. It’s not just a bird it’s a UFO. The old Gyeon-woo traveled back to the past the UFO. The old man said “fate is building a bridge of chance for someone you love“. Gyeon-woo also said that line at the end of the movie.
The end.
