I'm Beginning to Seriously Consider Watching "The Last Airbender"

Shyamalan better redeem himself with this film...

Au Revoir, Conan!

I used to stay up at night watching Conan O'Brien and his crazy show Late Night and I have always found its humor most entertaining compared to Jay Leno or David Letterman. Perhaps its the late night time slot that this show once occupied that allowed Conan and his bevy of writers to think up the most insane, surreal, and oftentimes mildly offensive skits to assault the senses of the late night viewer. If you were awake while Late Night with Conan O'Brien was on you're either drunk, wasted or extremely bored out of your skull and a good 'ol dose of crass, juvenile, and plain idiotic humor would do you good.

My fond memories of the show...

1. In the year 2000 - always done with a surprise guest, this skit continued even beyond 2000 -- a fact that they jokingly referred to in one of their segments. I always liked the seemingly homemade production featured in this skit. Looks like this was dreamed up by the writers in their basement while stoned on something...



2. Conan O'Brien hates my Homeland -- insulting the nations of the world to figure out where the show is aired worldwide. This particular clip paved the way for Conan's foray into international politics



3. Conan O'Brien and Tarja Halonen -- only Conan can boast of this achievement: who among the talk show hosts can lay claim to having influenced an actual electoral contest? and having a country's chief executive as a look-alike?



4. Walker Texas Ranger - the man, the show, the clips, that lever.



5. Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage -- for geeks only. hehehe



6. Conan and Max small talk moment -- the stare down really cracks me up. It just comes out of nowhere...Max and the band often participates in really absurd skits.



7. The Masturbating Bear -- to clarify, the late night version really featured wanking but since the clip is from the tonight show well...at least we see the bear for one last time...



8. Manatees Gone Wild -- I only found the "Horny Manatee" clip. But you can imagine the "gone wild" part hehe



9. Triumph the Insult Comic Dog -- one of the most famous acts on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.



10. Joel Goddard -- and even the announcer joins in the fun!



I'll miss Conan O'Brien and his show. But if he decides to resurface again, he's got one viewer happy to join in the craziness all over again...

WTF? Day Job Orchestra

profanity + illegal drug reference + overdubbed gibberish + Star Trek: TNG + APPLE JUICE! = AMAZING!

The Playlist in My Head

Effect of the movies Inglourious Basterds and Paprika:

1. "Meditation Field" by Susumu Hirasawa


2. The "Parade Song" by Susumu Hirasawa



3. "Cat People (Putting out Fire)" by David Bowie. This is that scene in Inglourious Basterds.

Time Team

I was introduced to this series during our previous lecture in World Archaeology with Prof. Valientes. Never realized that digging through dirt could be so dramatic and sexy...

Hell Hath No Fury...

...like a woman scorned. Most especially if said woman is descended from Vikings...

Coming Soon

1. Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief



2. Inglorious Bastards



3. The Hurt Locker - I think this one already screened, so I might've missed this...but I hope I'm wrong..

"Aerial" by Kate Bush

this is not an official music video for the song but this captures the song's essence beautifully.

Again...amazing.

Something to Look Forward To in the New Year

WTF? JGL in SNL

Joseph Gordon Levitt, aka Cobra Commander, hosting the latest episode of SNL

UPDATE: The posted clips are no longer available but I trust your resourcefulness to find them elsewhere...

Opening monologue: weirdly manic, parang na-overdose sa energy drink si Joseph hehe



The Mellow Show, hosted by Jack Johnson: kuhang-kuha si Jason Mraz, natawa ako sa reference to avocados; and Dave Matthews as Ozzy Osbourne? Wohoooooo!



What Up With That?: Al Gore is pretty funny here though he's not really trying to be funny. All in all, this skit is the best of the show...

Fix You

I just bought an original Coldplay CD for the astounding sum of P100. Sale kasi sa Astroplus kaya ayun hehe.

This,in my opinion, is the best song in the album...



So far, this band is the best musical phenomenon to emerge from this generation. Their "X & Y" album is good. The CD is indeed worth buying as all the tracks are superb. In fairness, may special appearance pa si Brian Eno sa isa nilang track.

Da who si Brian Eno?

Huwaaaat! Hindi mo siya kilala? Kawawa ka naman...

Cat vs. Cop -- Hilarious!

Image 2009

a former student of mine told me of this video showcasing Image 2009, UNO-R HS yearbook...nice concept...so far the layout is solid...and most of all, ginpasexy nila figure ni alon sa pic hehehe



Coming soon...

Manny on Kimmel. WIN!

Finally viewed Manny's guesting stint at Jimmy Kimmel and I must say the Pacman did us Pinoys proud by being on that show. If we were just to consider Manny as the boxer and not the endorser/politico/actor/whatever he comes off as sincere and humble. BTW, he's got a decent singing voice, so all those vocal coaching that went with the album must've been worth it.

Sige na nga, I'll join the bandwagon and wish the Pacman a big win in his upcoming fight. Manny FTW!

To-Watch List...

Tomorrow...THIS IS IT!

WTF? Mascot Dance

ang kulit! hahahahaha

Happy Halloween

Neon Genesis Evangelion Opening Theme -- it's not just a mecha series, it's a psychotic nightmare.

I Can't Figure This One Out...

Be at the airport in a few hours. Take care everybody and see you in Bacolod...

David Lynch Directs...

David Lynch is notorious for nosebleed inducing movies. His cinematic technique is oftentimes obscure, dark and utterly confusing, disturbing and confounding. But what if he were to direct cartoons?



This particular video captures David Lynch perfectly...

eto...one of his early short films. Tingnan natin kung ma-gets nyo. hehe

OMFG! Sa Wakas!

From the creators of the Ninjai series...
