My Remington "steals"

Before year 2010 ended, my Facebook network was abuzz with this Filipino indie horror-comedy film "Zombadings: Patayin sa Shokot si Remington." No updates I'm aware of so far (or more likely, my usual busyness prevented me from following through). I first learned of the film from Mell Navarro. Then Cholo Laurel made a Wall post on the FabGays Facebook group. For some shameless audience luring (to this blog), above pic of Mart Escudero, title lead was "borrowed" from Remington's "own" Facebook account. Here are some more links:

• Youtube Channel: Remington The Movie
• Facebook Page: Zombadings, Patayin sa Shokot si Remington
• Facebook Profile: Ako Si Remington

Finally, the official trailer below.

Divas carry!

A theatrical event that got members of the FabGays Facebook group talking is PETA's "Care Divas" a musical comedy about Filipino gay men who work overseas as caregivers, who also do diva impersonations at night. (I hope to see it, fingers crossed both hands.) From the FabGays' discussions, I gathered that some of the actors actually went around interviewing actual (repatriated?) OFW caregivers to prepare for their roles. Pic above was uploaded on FabGays' album. Here are some links:

• Care Divas' Facebook Event Page 
• PETA's 43rd Season Line-up 

A promotional performance was also featured in "Mornings at ANC" show on TV, Youtube video of that segment below.

Dollar folds

Koi fish, Chinese dragon, crab and scorpion, all out of folding one dollar bills -- origami artwork by Won Park, first found posted by Catalina on Historical Pictorial mailing list, 2010-08-21. After some Googling, found Won Park's DeviantArt site, after The Design Inspiration article. Images above are part of 14 images included in the forwarded post. It also said Won Park lived in a converted garbage truck (with images of the truck's converted interior included), but the DeviantArt site refuted that.

TARIMA

Ang Busilak na Pag-ibig ni Fanny

NAGBABALIK sa eksena ang gay icon na si Fanny Serrano sa mundo ng showbiz na sa mahigit tatlong dekada ay tahanan ng fashion stylist/beauty guru ng mga bituin at part-time actor/director—dito sa pelikulang “Tarima.”

Masasangkot si Fanny sa mga latak ng lipunan sa City Jail, partikular sa “tarima”—tinaguriang “love nest” kung saan ang mga bilanggo at kanilang bisita ay hinahayaaang magtalik nang ilang oras o araw para bigyang puwang ang kanilang sekswal na pangangailangan.

Bukod sa asawa’t nobya, tanggap na rin palang maski kalaguyong bading ay nakakagamit ng facilidad na ito.

Kahalubilo rito ng Fanny character na si Rosello ang malungkuting bilanggong si Rocky Salumbides, ang unang boylet niyang si Raymond Cabral, ang mga lola ni Rosello na sina Gloria Romero at Rustica Carpio, best friend-na-nabilanggong si Chokoleit, ang taksil na asawang si Ana Capri, ang deglamourized gay inmate at fashionistang si Oskar Peralta, ang yayang si Tia Pusit at ang five-year old child wonder na si Rap-Rap Leuterio.

Ang “Tarima” na sinulat at dinirek ni Neal Tan, ay magkakaroon sa Agosto 28 ng world premiere sa Cultural Center of the Philippines main theatre (Nicanor Abelardo Theater) bago ang theatrical release nito sa Kamaynilaan at partisipasyon sa mga prestihiyosong festivals ibang bansa.

Ang “Tarima” ay unang handog ng Blue Gold Film Productions. Supervising producer si Gregorio Recuerdo III. Executive producer naman si Rey Maclang. (AR)
