A Pinoy Blog About Nothing

Hey congrats on beating CNN on reaching 1 million followers on Twitter. I just wish you didn't pull that stunt though. Look, at the end of the day, what's this about? This is about the changing of the guard, from the old way of consuming media to the new way of consuming media. Sorry dude. It already happened. It's called the Internet. We together, can decide, we can make the ...

And so it came to pass. The much anticipated movie in comic geekdom has finally arrived: Warner Bros' film adaptation of Watchmen arrived last March 6 amidst hype and trepidation. I finally got to see it earlier tonight, choosing not to force the issue of having to juggle schedules on opening night.

Scene from Lucas' new movie: 'Star Wars: 3 Ninjas in Space'. More pics at my Flickr page. Had a 3-day pass but only went there for 2. Too many people on Saturday. Plus a storm didn't make the commute any easier. I think it's best to be inside by morning to avoid the crowd which swells in the afternoon.

Update: What a dry Oscars show! I know they had to scramble (I think they just had 7 days to prepare) but it was a low-key show for an audience of 1 billion. I think Jon Stewart did a great job at hosting this year although I think he couldn't help himself putting in those jokes about politics. Highlights: Marion Cotillard winning Best Actress and Tilda Swinton for ...
