Avatar

During mid January, I get enthused to watch Avatar, the legend of Aang as the last Air Bender. I could not help myself but to look for ways to watch the entire episodes/book or series and/or the entire story. My mind is playing things related to Avatar and talks so much about air bending, water bending, fire bending and earth bending. Not only that, I also include non-Avatar bending like wood bending, oil bending, tv bending, computer bending, body bending, and all the bending you can name. Rubber bending might be included there.

It all started when my brother and niece watch TV in TV5 with these Sponge Bob Square Pants and Jimmy Neutron talking in Tagalog. Including kiddie show which I am not that familiar with. Then they were watching Aang talking in Tagalog. Its nice to hear that but I like to listen to it better in English, the original dubbed version. Then we started to talk about Aang and things that an Avatar can do. I often tell me sister, " Someone was looking after you,"

She would say, "who is it?"

I would say, " someone from Fire Nation!".




Just recently, I bought a DVD with complete books and episodes of Avatar. Pretty excited to watch the full episodes, it became an Avatar marathon. At first it was smooth flow because the book 1 was totally complete and it was really nice to watch. It really fed my imagination and I like that. toward the end of book 2, sad and became a little annoyed to figure out that book 2 is not complete. Well I have no choice but to finish it but to my surprise, book 3 is not also complete! Arggh! I wish I asked for a reciept when I purchased that DVD so that I could still return it.

Now, I will have this alternative, look for Avatar streaming videos in the internet. Here are some of the links.

New Blog

I have created a new blog. It is called http://gma7show.blogspot.com. I have created that blog because I watch this tv more often times and it seems that when I watch some programs, I can't stop myself commenting so.... here is a few on the "about" of that blog.

This blog is about the shows in GMA7. I am certified Kapuso and I watch GMA 7 a couple of hours a day. Sometimes when I watch TV, comments regarding the show is inevitable and more often I find it hard to tell or express those comments of suggestion or any other with regards to that so I have created this blog for that purposes.

I am a GMA watcher, though I also watch often times on other network, I spend much more time on watching GMA 7. So this blog is about my comments and everything about the GMA 7 tv shows.

Survivor Philippines

Who amongst you do watch Survivor Philippines?(Among Filipinos of course, or including non - Filipinos who are a fan of Survivor in any country) For me I say that there is something wrong with that reality TV and I believe that it is somewhat deceiving. And who are deceived? Us of course.

Before the official airing of Survivor Philippines in GMA7, the list of castaways has been introduced to us through GMA7 of course. All castaways are from different parts of the Philippines and we noticed that there are Cebuanos and tagalogs.
List of Castaways:

1. Charisse
2. Chev
3. Cris
4. Emerson
5. Gigit
6. Jace
7. JC
8. John
9. Kaye
10. Kiko
11. Marlon
12. Nikki
13. Nina
14. Patani
15. Rob
16. Vern
17. Vev
18. Zita

After i think 21 days(?) of survival in the island, many things happen. More information on these sites: SurvivorPhilippines.com(blog) SurvivorPhilippines.org(blog) SurvivorPhilippines.tv (official website), the normal ups and downs in the show and the inevitable conflicts between each castaways. But there is one man that caught my attention. Who is this man named Marlon Carmen? In the show, he is showing a clever and a bad image. And yet he survived that long. I don't question his long survival in the show. But my question is, why is he showing a negative attitude towards each castaway and to many viewers in the Philippines as well. Have you seen how he is interviewed during each episode? He seems to be unique in the show.

As far as I know, the producers have planned to get 16 castaways only. Later, they have decided to add two more castaways to make it eighteen. For me I think that they only needed one castaway. A castaway that is only "add on" to the show. But to make it even, they made it to add two more to sum up to 18. This "add on" character is a "CON ARTIST" or confidence artist added to spice up the show. I am referring to no other than Marlon. I really believe that he is just an actor inside the show. Look at him how he acted and his internal behavior, that is not quite normal for a normal castaway. Believe me he is just an actor!

Today, Friday November 7, 2008. Time for voting out one castaway on the night of tribal council. The votes are pointing to Marlon vs Kiko evenly with four votes each. The last vote will be declared on Monday, Nov10. I am willing to bet that Kiko is out of the game! I also believe that the votes are manipulated by the Survivor staff to make the show thrilling!

I might be wrong with my intuition, but I am 95% sure about this. If ever I am wrong, I will edit this post and add notes for my apology to Marlon and to the Survivor staff.

Peace!

Heroes - my Favorite

Heroes Season 3 or Volume 3 had already been aired in NBC premiered last September 22, 2008. This TV series is my favorite TV show above all list. I like it very much because it enables my imagination to play like a kid thinking about super natural powers childlikely. Since the start during when I have discovered this and watched the first season/volume until season 2 in DVD, I watch it uncontrolably straight and almost without a break. Watch it like a movie marathon and it doesn't tire me. :) 

Heroes Season 3 is now aired weekly on Mondays. Now I have made short summary per episode (see I'm really a great fan for this) on my other blog. It can be read here. I don't watch it on NBC instead I download it from some sites http://thecoolwebsite.co.uk once every episode. I also download weekly because they upload it weekly since it is aired weekly.

For download details please ask me.

Transformers

Yesterday, I downloaded a movie from some movie sharing sites in the internet. Movies can be downloaded in http://thecoolwebsite.co.uk. Immediately after the download was complete, I, together with my brother, sister and niece watch the movie Transformer. I did have fun wtching it because it was so cool.

Transformers is a 2007 live-action film adaptation of the Transformers franchise, directed by Michael Bay and written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. It stars Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky, a teenager involved in a war between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, two factions of alien robots who can disguise themselves by transforming into everyday machinery. The Decepticons desire control of the All Spark, the object that created their robotic race, with the intention of using it to build an army by giving life to the machines of Earth. Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson,Jon Voight and John Turturro also star, while Peter Cullen and Hugo Weaving provide the voices ofOptimus Prime and Megatron respectively.

Producers Don Murphy and Tom DeSanto developed the project in 2003, with a treatment written by DeSanto. Executive producer Steven Spielberg came on board the following year, and hired Orci, Kurtzman and Bay for the project in 2005. The filmmakers wanted a realistic depiction of the story, and created a complex design aesthetic for the robots to stress their alien nature. The computer-generated characters were programmed to have thousands of mechanical pieces move as they transformed and maneuvered. The United States Military and General Motors lent vehicles and aircraft during filming, which saved money for the production and added realism to the battle scenes.
Hasbro organized an enormous promotional campaign for the film, making deals with hundreds of companies. This advertising blitz included a viral marketing campaign, coordinated releases of Transformers prequel comics books, Transformers toys and books, as well as product placement deals with GM and eBay. The film was a box office success despite mixed fan reaction to the radical redesigns of the characters, and reviews criticizing the focus on the humans at the expense of the robots. It is the thirtieth most successful film released and the fifth most successful of 2007, grossing approximately US$708 million worldwide. The film won four awards from the Visual Effects Society and was nominated for three Academy Awards. It revitalized media interest in the franchise, and a sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is expected for release on June 26, 2009.
