Joss ko

On July 26, 2010 / By tania / In Event, Movies, SF / 1 Comment

Direk Marie Jamora asked Joss Whedon a question at the San Diego comic con. Joss loved the Filipino language trivia so much, he forgot what the question was.

How I never thought of that Joss=god pun, I don’t know.

Thanks to Budjette Tan for the link.

We want the sequel named "The Revenge of the Prawnlet"

On August 27, 2009 / By tania / In Movies, SF / No Comments

Just about every human being in this movie is an ass. Even the lead character. You’re grossed out, scared shitless, outraged, saddened, excited throughout the whole film. Then you feel something that comes so rarely these days: you want a sequel. Go watch District 9, people. After willingly wasting so much money on shallow summer

So we went to watch Star Trek

On May 10, 2009 / By tania / In Event, Movies, SF, Television / 4 Comments

Manila Trekkies represent! (I’m the dork in the civvies.) It was around 4pm that BG who worked at the Solar network texted me to say he had passes to his company’s premier of the new Star Trek movie. Not only was it — hello!– Star Trek, but I had been staring at the computer non-stop

I’ve been neglecting this blog lately, I know. But only for a really good reason — my strategic management paper is due on Monday and I’m still working on it. Until I get my life back from the clutches of school, I leave you with this. It’s a young (!) Isaac Asimov describing his three
