"I have been beating my brains in trying to impress you people. Listen Gibby, Kirstin, Krysten, you will spend your whole lives trying to keep others down because it makes you feel more important, but why her? Let me tell you about this girl she is amazing. I was new here and she befriended me no questions asked. But you, you were only my friends after my brother, Rob , told you to like me. There is a great big world out there and it won't matter if you were the most popular girl, the quarterback of the football team, or the biggest nerd in school. Find out who you are and try not to be afraid of it."
- Josie Geller, Never Been Kissed

"That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amzing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that that it will go away all at the same time."

"Moral fiber. So, what is moral fiber? It's funny, I used to think it was always telling the truth, doing good deeds, basically...

...being a fucking boy scout. But lately I've been seeing it differently. Now I think moral fiber's about finding that one thing you really care about. That one special thing that means more to you than anything else in the world. And when you find her, you fight for her. You risk it all, you put her in front of everything, your life, all of it. And maybe the stuff you do to help her isn't so clean. You know what? It doesn't matter. Because in your heart you know, that the juice is worth the squeeze. That's what moral fiber's all about."

Austin: "I'm sorry I waited for the rain."

I came here to tell how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you. A world without rules or controls, borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you."

This Aiai-Sharon starrer is one of the films I hoped would be good despite its poster and trailer. It wasn't. I probably expected too much from a Star Cinema - Wenn Deramas - Aiai delas Alas team up.

BFF starts off with John Estrada's (Tim / TJ) funeral scene where we first see Sharon Cuneta (Honey) and AiAi (Frances) face-to-face. Then follows the narrative of how the three met. Tim was cheating on Honey with Frances. Honey's gym instructor was Frances. They all didn't know how connected they were to each other. Honey and Frances would exchange tips on how to keep their man, and the tips would work -- resulting to the other's disappointment.

One drunken bonding session between Honey and Frances, TJ called up Frances to tell her that he can't marry her because he has a family. That phone call which Honey answered because Frances was too drunk to function. Then comes Honey's revenge, the drama scenes, and the reconciliation.

Which would all have been far more entertaining if they casted a comedienne instead of Sharon Cuneta as Honey. Had it been Pokwang, the movie would have been more alive. The film was a confusion between comedy and drama. It was flat, dragging, and seemed to be a tutorial on parenting / friendship / marriage. There were funny moments and heartbreaking scenes, but as a movie, it wasn't that good. Lots of unnecessary characters. Parang ang bumuhay lang sa movie ay sina Chokoleit and Aiai. And Lito Camo's fat kid -- whose mere presence in any scene made me laugh.

There was just one line that got stuck in my head. One that I'd probably say.

In that drama scene where Aiai lying in the back of her van and her daughter found her crying there, she said:

"Ayokong umiyak sa taas (kwarto) kasi baka marinig mo ako."

Shet. Tears on cue ampota!

Because cheerleaders in movies can be downright mean.

And I just looove it. haha!

Honey, oh. There's a logical order to the college universe, and the sooner you learn it, the better.

 

See, way up here at the top of the ladder are football players.
Right. They rule. Just underneath them are basketball players... smaller biceps but still desirable.
Then, soccer hunks, lacrosse studs, fraternity presidents... ohh... fraternity keg-masters, guys with cars with parking passes, guys with cars without parking passes... kind of a waste of time...
Black Student Union activists...
Bruce Lee fan clubbers,
lit-mag squares, pep-band dorks, um, film society toads, campus ministers, school mascots...

 

and then, God, all the way at the bottom...
are campus D.J.'s.
One spot above cafeteria workers.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button tells the story of a man who grows younger as he ages. Benjamin (Brad Pitt) had an odd childhood (if that's what you may call it) -- born having the physical attributes of an old man and being around the elderly in a nursing home, raised by foster parents. As a pre-teen with the appearance of someone in his 70's, he met a young Daisy Fuller. They parted ways though, when Benjamin decided to go with the tugboat crew he worked with.

With the ongoing wars, Benjamin experienced the harsh realities of life at an essentially young age. He met his biological father, Thomas Button, not knowing it was him; fell in love and had an affair with a married woman; and had seen death in a different way than what he was used to. Benjamin then decided to move back to his hometown, New Orleans, back to the nursing home. He then got to know more about himself, then decided to pursue his love for Daisy (Cate Blanchett). And when the two finally got together, life became just a bit more complicated.

 
I did not fangirl over Brad Pitt in this movie; not a bit. TCCoBB was too much of a Dementor for me to even notice how good-looking the actor was. For one, there were too many deaths in the movie -- deaths that came naturally, but had great impact because of the characters' relationships with Benjamin Button. The movie gripped Jer's and my heart all throughout. My tears literally went on cue, and it had been so long since this last happened in a moviehouse!


(And onto the spoilers:)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was almost 2.5 hours long, but it was engrossing from beginning to end. Shots were scenic pati. Given the premise that Benjamin aged in reverse, we'd just have to let go of disbelief and take in the concept of that disease. (Kahit far-fetched na siya sa ending ng movie na nakaka-"woooo wag ka na!" na.) After all, the movie was more about life, and how it'd turn out depending on how you decide to live it. As Benjamin Button said, "Our lives are defined by opportunities, even those we miss."

Yesterday was another "Jer-out" day as we call it. Jer-out = Pig-out because Jerome is a pig. HAHAHA. My CX friends and I have been pigging out since, shet, a month ago, and we've been having Jer-out days once a week since then. Hindi naman kami depressed. Ewan ko ba kung bakit ang lakas namin lumamon lately.

So we had lunch at Banapple (again) in Katipunan (their cakes are love) then Jer, Jay, Grace, and I went to Eastwood to watch The Strangers. Hindi ko na sana isisine itong movieng to, pero since relatively ok ang feedback, gora na sa sinehan. Anyway, Php151 lang naman ang sine sa Eastwood kaya ok lang.

The Strangers was just the second movie I've seen in the Eastwood Cinemas; the first being Tropic Thunder. Naenjoy ko yung panonood ng Tropic Thunder noon kasi comedy naman siya at ok ang sinehan for Php151. Pero itong The Strangers, hindi ko naenjoy. You know me, I love horror films, particularly the slasher subgenre. And since according to reviews, those looking for cheap scares won't find it in this movie, I got more eager to see The Strangers on the big screen.

Lesson learned: Never watch movies that (you feel that) you really like in the Eastwood Cinemas. PUNYETA. Puro estudyanteng kaiingay. Damn them. Seryoso, nabadtrip ako. Kasi yung movie mismo, maaappreciate ko. Pero dahil ganon yung mga kasama namin sa sinehan, hindi ko fully naenjoy ang movie. Bwisit. Kaaarte. Putangina. At galit talaga ako nyan o. Sana pala, sa DVD ko na lang pinanood, mas may moment pa.

(comments on The Strangers movie)

After the movie that ended at around 6pm, Jer, Grace and I stayed in Eastwood until around 10pm. HAHAHA. Imagine, tambay, chika and lafang galore talaga! Ni hindi ko nga nagawa to nung estudyante days ko eh. We pledged not to eat anymore nung nag-aya akong mag-Yellow Cab at ayaw nila. Lumipat kami ng tambayan na ang resulta lang eh napakain kami ng kung anu-ano. Sus, hindi nga nag-Yellow Cab!

Long talks with good friends over food ay love talaga.

Til next Jer-out day.
