Buboy Villar ginugulpi noong bata: Isinumpa ko po yung tatay ko dati…

Why haven’t we gotten our ‘pangarap na Oscar’?
In Jules Katanyag’s raunchy horror-comedy Ang Pangarap Kong Oskars, from Mavx productions (now showing in cinemas), the eccentric director DMZ (Joross Gamboa) screams, “I want actors, not celebrities!” He and producer friend Bobby B (Paolo Contis) are gunning for the elusive Oscar trophy, or “Oskar,” via their dream movie project. Unable to fund their film, they get someone to produce it — but they have to compromise. The daughter of the producer, who is terrible at acting, has to be in it. They also want a big-budget movie that involves aswangs (special effects would cost gazillions), but they get “lucky” because Bobby B manages to hire actual local aswangs — mananganggal et al. The advanced screening held last 23 June was followed by a mediacon where Contis was in a fight-or-flight mode all throughout, with some press members squeezing into the conversation the controversies surrounding the prolific actor. But it was boring the lights out of me. Not much discussion on the film itself: the creative process, the craft. It’s all personality-based. An ingrown nail is more fascinating to me than Contis’ love life and his Eat Bulaga stint. But this is showbiz, the Internet is a vulture preying on rumors and controversies and a celebrity’s life is converted into views, comments, likes and shares. [caption id="attachment_152144" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] PAOLO Contis’ ‘Eat Bulaga!’ co-hosts Kokoy De Santos, Buboy Villar, Cassy Legaspi, Alexa Miro, Kimpoy de Leon and Mavy Legaspi attended the movie’s premiere last week.[/caption] Big event But at least the Oscars was discussed a bit. Since we started submitting to the Oscars in 1953, why haven’t we even been shortlisted? Katanyag’s directorial debut triggered thoughts in me about the Oscar dream. Sure, a subset of Filipino film professionals and critics spit at the Oscars as if it is the worst thing in the world. Still, no one can deny it’s a big event and it has some pretty great movies on its nominations list. The Oscars is an international media magnet. Imagine a Pinoy filmmaker going up the stage — for the first time in history — to take home the Best International Film award (or Best Director award), catapulting them to global fame and putting our country on the map of quality cinema. At the mediacon, someone asked the two actors about the possibility of an Oscar for the country. “Yes, possible… Naniniwala ako na kailangan ng buong suporta ng buong bansa. Una sa lahat, funding para sa mismong pelikula, magandang-magandang proyekto, at, again, kailangan ng campaign. So kailangan ng budget,” Contis said. “Actually, maganda maisabatas ‘yung support sa industry… Parang katulad sa ibang bansa, suportado talaga ng government. Kaya talaga napo-promote eh. Kasama napo-promote ang country,” said Gamboa.

Great stories need no huge budget. Asghar Farhadi’s A Separation cost roughly $800,000. Nomadland, Moonlight and Call Me By Your Name are also some of the small-budget films that took home the Oscars. The “palakasan” system, the politics, corruption and chika play a major contribution. The Filipino crab mentality, deeply embedded in our culture, is also to blame. If it happens in your office or organization, of course it also happens in the film industry. There are plenty of untapped talents — promising filmmakers and creatives who never get an iota of a chance in a dog-eat-dog industry. The big people would rather pick their “tropa” or “bata” even if said people are untalented. Then, there are award-giving bodies driven by political agenda, granting awards to butt-ugly films to fight for their personal cause. Plus, Pinoys are celebrity-obsessed. Filipino moviegoers will watch Pinoy movies only if their idols are in them. Movies with unknown actors? These are snubbed. Most resort to Koreanovelas because they love the content and the storytelling — bonus is the fact that most Pinoys find Koreans attractive. We also lack originality and a real cinematic identity. Mainstream fare is heavily influenced by Hollywood, or we adapt Korean plots. Others even downright copy plots and dialogue from American films. Where are the unique stories? They are mostly found in indie fests, in Cinemalaya, where the best of the best can be found. Politics has also split the Filipino film industry. A movie will be bashed even before its release because it features actors or directors who campaigned for a politician the critics oppose. Then there are budget constraints, forcing productions to shoot in a matter of days, so everything is rushed. The result? Crude high school projects. What also irks me is how the industry almost demands or begs “support” (i.e. buy tickets to local movies). A ticket price, which is P500 average, is equivalent to a minimum-wage earner’s daily salary. We do not part with our money just because you said so. Show me an impressive trailer first. Jaded audience The Filipino audience is now jaded given the same old crappy local content — especially after being exposed to content worldwide through affordable streaming subscriptions. Where do you think Pinoys would spend their hard-earned cash if they desperately need entertainment? On a locally produced theatrical release that has a plot that they have seen a thousand times? Or a subscription to a streamer with more content to choose from? They can also get the cheapest: internet data for unlimited short-form entertainment in TikTok and social media. Also, this industry hates honest criticism. They feel that negative reviews are personal attacks on filmmakers. This mindset is not progressive at all. I believe in the talent of the Filipino creative. It’s just that if this toxic culture continues and the obsession with personalities versus the art of cinema continues, we will be left behind in the film arena. This is no longer just about winning the Oscars, or at least getting nominated. This is about acknowledging our dirt and learning to triumph over self-interest, politics and envy for the sake of Philippine cinema. But I guess, that’s a dream that is never going to happen soon. It’s already in our DNA. The post Why haven’t we gotten our ‘pangarap na Oscar’? appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Lolit defends Paolo Contis: ‘Trabaho lang, walang personalan’
Paolo Contis was introduced as one of the new hosts of Eat Bulaga last Monday, along with Buboy Villar, Alexa Miro, Cassy and Mavy Legaspi, and a number of other GMA 7 Sparkle artists. Netizens still rooting for the departed original "Dabarkads" of Eat Bulaga -- Tito, Vic and Joey and their co-hosts, who all resigned in solidarity with TVJ after the trio announced that they were parting with TAPE Inc., the production outfit behind the noontime show -- have been bashing Contis and company for agreeing to host the show, seeing it as a form of disrespect toward TVJ et al. But Lolit Solis, Contis' manager, said Contis was just doing his job as an entertainer and a GMA 7 talent who accepts whatever work is given him. "Idol ni Paolo Contis ang TVJ Salve," Solis wrote on Instagram. "Bata pa siya fan na siya ng Tito, Vic and Joey. Ironic na nangyari ang 'gulo' ng TVJ at heto ngayon, isa sa host si Paolo Contis sa programa na ilalagay sa dating oras ng Eat Bulaga." "Trabaho lang, walang personalan," Solis stressed. "Dahil kahit kelan hindi papasok sa isip ni Paolo na magiging katapat siya sa programa ng Tito, Vic at Joey. Under siya ng management ng GMA Artists Center at kung anong trabaho ang ibigay sa kanya, tinatanggap niya. A good soldier following his superior." Solis said she sees no need for any bad blood between the two parties, and that more work for everyone is ultimately better for the showbiz industry: "Palagay ko naman hindi magiging dahilan para magkaruon ng bad blood sa mga involved. Sana nga both parties maging matagumpay,dahil liit lang mundo ng showbiz. Hindi na dapat meron pang maliliit na kaguluhan. Dapat lahat maayos. More work, the better. More shows mas magaling. Basta trabaho, go lang, mas bongga." The post Lolit defends Paolo Contis: ‘Trabaho lang, walang personalan’ appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»

Danny Javier (YouTube) Danny Javier, one of the members of the iconic OPM group APO Hiking Society, has passed away, his daughter Justine Javier Long announced on social media on Oct. 31. He was 75. “It is with great sadness that my siblings and I wish to announce the passing of our father, Daniel ‘Danny’ Morales Javier on October 31, 2022 at the age of 75 from complications due to his prolonged illnesses,” wrote Justine. She added: “In life, as in his death, our Pop never stopped fighting for what he loved, what he believed in and what he was passionate about. He left this world with his passion and his strength of will intact and we know he would not have it any other way.” Justine thanked the people for the outpouring love, prayers, and condolences during their difficult time. “Just feeling the loss of an old faithful friend who knew what love is although sometimes it just doesn’t show. My friend lives on in his music,” wrote actor-singer Buboy Garovillo, another member of the musical group, on social media. The third member of the group is Jim Paredes. Lawyer-vlogger Trixie Angeles-Cruz, who served as Press Secretary, also paid tribute to the musician. On Facebook, she wrote: Danny Javier and Trixie Angeles-Cruz (Facebook) “I wish we had more time. But thank you for what you shared with me. “Thank you for the laughing days. Thank you for the extraordinary lunches. Thank you for always asking about my health even when yours had become precarious. Thank you for the vitamins. Thank you for giving me a preview of some of your songs. Thank you for a ringside seat into the amphitheater of your thoughts. “Thank you for the honor and privilege of being called your friend,” the lawyer wrote. The APO Hiking Society was the forefront of the OPM scene in the 70s until they disbanded in 2010. Some of their monster hits include Pumapatak Na Naman Ang Ulan, Ewan, Batang Bata Ka Pa, Awit ng Barkada, Mahirap Magmahal Nh Syota ng Iba, When I Met You, etc......»»
