Negan Vs Eugene

No TIMELESS. No QUANTICO tv series. My Monday nite was boring to say the least. I was tempted to rent a new released movie such as HACKSAW RIDGE, DOCTOR STRANGE, MANCHESTER BY THE SEA, MOONLIGHT, MOANA, THE ACCOUNTANT,BLAIR WITCH, FLORENCE Foster Jenkins, GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS, JACKIE, SUICIDE SQUAD, SULLY, HELL or HIGH WATER, DEEP WATER HORIZON, etcheterra.

Too many new movies to watch... so little time. Being thrifty... Maybe I'll wait when all these movies are $1/each. Not that bad! Let say 5 millions of us watched one movie and that's equivalent to $5,000,000 (5 million $). Really it's not that bad at all. Warning: Pay for your own order.

What happened at TWD or THE WALKING DEAD last Sunday? Oh my God! It's not what you expect it would be. You know Eugene was given the whole hour of being acquainted with Negan. First he was nervous and speechless trembling most of the time every time Negan opens his mouth it sent shockwaves to Eugene's mind and heart as if he is being "controlled." Unlike Daryl who never ever told himself that is a Negan disciple and he is Daryl not Negan. Eugene was offered a room with old television set where he can play his game and entertained by Negan's girls except Dwight's estranged wife was nowhere to be found although he discovered something of a clue from the gangster's doctor and Dwight looked for his ex-wife in their old dilapidated house. While Dwight was in search for his ex-wife, Eugene tried to impress the girls with his knowledge in Chemistry providing balloons using hydrogen/helium, etc, etc and a huge pyrex vase was used to disintegrate some sort of chemicals that oozed with some form of lather or foamy substance. Eugene is a smartypants alright and what could be his next move and next experiment?

HOSTILES & CALAMITIES which was a Sunday episode turned out to be shocking once again as Negan can't control his evil ways as he dipped the doctor's face, actually shoved the doctor's face and body inside the hot fireplace he died of course! Nobody tried to help nor nobody stopped Negan from inhumane process of killing whom he wants to kill. Those people are cowards I think. Anyway they have to follow the script eh.

Do you think a man with PhD like Eugene will become another Einstein? Who knows? How bad he will become? Is he worst than Negan? Abangan ang susunod na kabanata.

Am I Into La La Land Again?

It's all LA LA LAND I've been hearing from Ben Mulroney and from the cast of ETALK. Uhm, I wonder. Did they all watch all the movies competing for the awards so that it is fair for the nominated actors and actresses or just because they are close friends of whom they favored?

THE OSCARS AWARDS judges who are they? I don't know. It wont be members of the foreign press who will vote and will give awards.

How you can influence the outcome? Showbizlandia can influence the outcome and so as the MEDIA. Maybe, maybe not!

LA LA LAND movie is very popular because Emma Stone seems blooming nowadays and she knows how to model her clothes in style. She's a changed woman! What's the secret? She looks more stunning, glamorous and younger this time around. She looked older in previous movies she made before. I mean, based on EASY A and ZOMBIELAND. The new Emma Stone is quite interesting on how she looks so blooming, full of life and maybe she's in love or what? What could be? Ah, she should make a remake of "Benjamin Button version." Is La La Land an old movie of her with Ryan Gosling? Because they both look younger in this movie compared with their previous movies before. No pun intended. I am just curious of their "youthfulness" in this movie.

I haven't seen some of the movies nominated for THE OSCARS so I don't have much to say on who will win or who will lose. I wish for the best.

Anyway, THE WALKING DEAD must continue it's apocalyptic drama, action and suspense mystery series.

Simplicity and Modesty in a TV Series

Hong Raon the star of OMNI's TV drama series
LOVE BY THE MOONLIGHT

 
Another television series that caught my eyes. It's not wrong to watch another movie or television drama series with action and with sense especially if the actresses and actors are foreigners. Whether they only communicate in their own language it doesn't matter. We all can understand one way or another by means of gestures and lip reading. I'm glad at least in this Korean drama there is subtitles in English located down below the screen of our TV and I can understand and comprehend the story unlike the drama fantasy series ICE FANTASY. The modesty, simplicity and graceful attitude of the characters are what drawn me in to watching this particular drama plus the action and how the story is unfold. Yes, dude there's that so called suspense and mystery in this series. Hong Raon is a pretty girl disguised as "eunuch" and worked in the Palace and was the favorite eunuch of the Crown Prince who is smart, clever and naughty. No boring face in this series. I wonder what kind of make up they use for having perfect complexion.

I can't tell you the whole story because it's not finish yet. There are more stories and plot to unravel. The young face (s) of the lead characters and facial expressions, without the over-acting attitude, I must say all the actors in this series are doing the great job of making the story perfect for the characters they played. Makabagbag damdamin. Magaling silang umarte! Wow! They all have natural talent for acting and their timing is quite perfect.

Flashbacks? Are they necessary?

As usual the QUANTICO is full of flashbacks. Imagine you are a new viewer to watch the television series you'll feel bored and confused however if you had watched and seen the very first episode of QUANTICO you'll be amazed of how these new recruits had suffered emotionally and psychologically. The first episode was actually a series of shocking events.

Hard to believe that FBI Agents have to suffer such mind boggling consequences. When you think that people who worked to save their country and its people and be loyal to their superiors and their co-workers it's something to think about and paranoia sets in within each member of the elite group of agents.

Still is a television series worth-watching because of the drama, mystery, suspense. action, and the diversity surrounding the agents persona. How far they can outsmart each other and how far they can survive from each other's wit and intelligence. What is the true nature of their service?

Beef! Beef! Beef!

In the news right now is the feud between Pres. Trump and action movie actor Arnold Schwarzenegger regarding the TV show APPRENTICE once a tv show led by reality tv star Mr. Trump now President of America. That the tv rating for APPRENTICE is not that high compared to Pres. Trump's. Really? What channel or television network holds the contract for the APPRENTICE?

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a bigger star. THE TERMINATOR. Even if he is an Austrian born actor he is very popular all over the world. Billions of people knew Schwarzenegger. He earned his good standing for America. No doubt about that. If he is not born in another country probably he is better off as US President. He is Republican and Republicans should help one another.

You know my TV SCHEDULE VIEWING pleasure starts on Sunday. Here how it goes:

Sunday: 6 pm THE WALKING DEAD (which will resume on February 12), Masterchef (no new episode as of now), then the QUANTICO (at present Quantico is now viewed on Monday at 10)

Monday: TIMELESS at 10 pm and then QUANTICO (Too bad! QUANTICO should return to Sunday a 9pm after the TALKING DEAD instead) Thank goodness there's no VICTORIOUS and ICE FANTASY at 10 pm. I wish Nickoledeon has Victorious, Mr. Young and iCarly instead. What`s wrong with you people, why you`re all fighting for that 10 pm slot.

Tuesday: THE FLASH, MARVEL agent of SHIELDS, Ice Fantasy

Wednesday: BLINDSPOT, Ice Fantasy

Thursday: Nothing to watch on Thursday except ALONE and Ice Fantasy

Friday: Nothing to watch on Friday except reruns and old replays, then Ice Fantasy

Saturday: Too many reruns and replays

TV NEWS? We watched NEWS everyday CTV, Global or CBC NEWS NETWORK


What`s the NEWS TODAYÉ there `s that French in the way againÉ SabotageÉ Disregard this blogsite for now. When the É returns to ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ then my blogs are being hacked again. Yeah after I visit that Confession with Rhee blog. My computer crashed. Hmm, lots of beefÉ She probably contributed lots of burger at the game.

Ice Fantasy: Magical yet Tragic, Dramatic and Traumatic

How slow is Prince Ka Suo? He's got the power but his power is not as powerful as his entourage. Or he probably doesn't know how to use his power. He's always sleeping and dreaming, without aim, without purpose in life. He is like a driftwood being carried by water to whatever flow it's going. He can't decide for himself or he is just too slow.

One by one, Ka Suo's friends are taken away by tragic death. It's a tragedy that he cannot control or he has the power but he doesn't know how to use it.

Remember ZOOLANDER?
ICE FANTASY has that similar story of not being aware of consequences.

Every episode, every night, one by one Ka Suo's friend has to suffer and die from evil menace. The black smoke is evil. The black smoke represents the devil.  At first, their enemy is the Fire Tribe but then when the Fire Tribe's Yanda becomes a friend of Prince  Shi,  their once powerful fire lashing blasting power has weakened. Another evil tribe has surfaced which the Ice tribe has to conquer. Is Ka Suo the lead character in this fantasy novel/series? I doubt it. I think it's Prince Shi,  the illusionist is the main lead actor in ICE FANTASY. How he came to life I wonder? Just like the butterflies process of metamorphosis... eh? Dude, humans are made of carbon and carbon is forever.
Diamonds are forever!

At first, I kind of think that it was Victoria Song (Liluo) is the main lead actress however when she died then no more appearances after that except when Prince Ka Suo chooses to have unconscious moments in a dreamlike setting.

Despite of the series daily ritual of providing dramatic, tragic, traumatic sequences, magical atmosphere, flash mode display of skills in chosen weaponry, the actors and actresses wearing beautiful costumes and beautiful face, almost flawless skin complexion still is ICE FANTASY is  great choice for viewing pleasure at 10 pm. I wish they have English subtitles because they speak Chinese, they should have English translation on the screen. What happened is the communication between actors and actresses is in Chinese language (Mandarin) then the scripted words are in Chinese characters.

Whatever!
