maldita margie's ka-blogs! ;-)

Get your copy of Premiere Magazine! Aaron told me to get it since it has the 100 greatest movie moments of all time. I really liked that article. They even mentioned my favorite movies - the old classics. I remember watching
Gone with the Wind,
Some Like it Hot (aah jack lemmon was so hilarious!),
2001 Space Odyssey,
Citizen Kane,
The Great Escape (I think my dad looked like Steve McQueen when he was young)
and one film that i found suprisingly funny was The Grand Illusion. It was a french film by Jean Renoir that showed how prisoners of war with high ranks such as generals were treated by the Germans.

and to those who think that Brash shouldn't have shown such films...who are you to deprive us of watching these great classics? If not for Brash, and the owner of the DVD who lent the movie for all of us movie lovers everywhere...i would never have known that this classic was truly exquisite.

I am reading a chapter in my Marketing Book of sales promotion/advertising blah blah. Anyway, there were some surprisingly hilarious stuff. Like it said - and take note this is a staple book in every Marketing course, written by Philip Kotler the Father of Marketing - not all celebrity endorsements are successful. I quote: "In the Philippines, Toyota signed on Lea Salonga, the star of Miss Saigon to appear in their ads. However, consumers perceived Salonga to be too fat, her outfit too dowdy, and her aria dubious." Wow, our country gets mentioned but it's still negative. Sigh.

And I made a mistake earlier. The book said that Faye Wong endorsed Virgin Airlines in its London-HongKong route. I thought she was the same one who starred in Shanghai Knights. My mistake, that was Fann Wong as I had written in an earlier entry. hwehwe!

watched Daredevil yesterday with joey. It was his second and my first time to watch it. What can I say? it has exceeded even my adoration of Spiderman. This is partly because I don't like Kirsten Dunst AND Jennifer Gardner...after seeing Spiderman I hated Kirsten more because she was such a pathetic whimp of a woman. But Gardner - maaaan! she rocked!

I luuuv action movies. This one was even more thrilling and exciting. And I read the comic books. Of course it wasn't as loyal to the comics as it should be but hey it's called poetic license or cinematic license or whatever. The graphics for his bat-like hearing (up yours, batman moviemakers!) sense was so well done, it didn't even disturb the whole scene. They blended it so well that you didn't mind it when they shift from the sensory scenes and actual ones. Much like the talent of Peter Jackson when merging effects to enhance the movie watching instead of making the effects the actual solo act. Remember The Frighteners? Oh and thank God they cast Ben Affleck for this role. Although this is based on a comic book and its some guy in a spandex-tight outfit, you still need acting. And he definitely delivered. Can you tell me who else could have played this guy? I mean, if he wasn't Daredevil - he could have been Superman! the cleft chin, square jaw, the vulnerable demeanor...ok maybe I'm pushing my luck.

Anyway, i thought it was great! i would watch it again...and again...and again...Oh and good casting. Even Colin Farrel as Bullseye was a good touch. He kind of overacted but it was still in character.

Oh and i read that Ben-boy did all his stunts. Whatduyatink of dat!hehe
