Misleading Association
by allancarreon on Oct.28, 2015, under Film & TV, Snark
For the record, to address some insinuations of the grossly misinformed, no. I don’t support Tito Sotto and his politics just because he is associated with Eat Bulaga.
Why? Because I’m educated and smart enough to distinguish and separate his showbiz associations from his political affiliations and beliefs.

Mga kababayan,
Kasalukuyan po akong naghahanap ng running mate para maging Bise Presidente ko. Sya ang makakaakibat ko upang isulong ang adbokasya ko ukol sa China, kung saan papalakasin natin ang diplomatic ties sa Saturn at Jupiter para makatulong sa ating Hukbong Sandatahan. Gagawa kami ng VAA (Visiting Aliens Agreement).
No, I am not THAT Allan Carreon.

Just in case you happened to pass by, curious and wondering if I were in contact with aliens from outer space and if I had an embassy set up on the planet Tatooine.
I am, however, willing to open up diplomatic relations with the Klingons for so long as you promise to get me enough energon cubes from Cybertron.
Me.
Crazy Alien Guy.
Bitterness Sa Tamang Panahon
by allancarreon on Oct.26, 2015, under Film & TV, Snark
It’s funny how some people are now trying to defend “It’s Showtime” because it’s probably finally realized it’s been beaten. Or rather, finally admitted it… because the show and the network have been in a state of denial.
“Why are people bashing Showtime?” the pretending-to-be-oblivious rabid Showtime fans ask. (I say “rabid” as there surely are some fans who are level-headed, and I myself do not deny watching some of its old features, like Pogay.)
“Why can’t they leave Showtime alone?” these mouth-frothers whine. “Vice says they were never trying to beat Eat Bulaga.” As though they had not been on social media for the last few months and had not seen exactly what had happened.
Wikipedia As Film

I wanted to like the film Felix Manalo. I really did.
Yes, despite not being a fan of the INC, I am a fan of good films, especially good local ones, given that there has been a dearth of such in the past but where there has been hope in the last few years with the likes of Norte, Heneral Luna, On The Job, Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank, and several others. Moreover, ours is a history and culture rich in subject matters that can be mined to boost the local filmmaking industry and to provide quality entertainment at par with global standards.
Dear Polo Ravales

Dear Polo Ravales,
Ateneo at UP Diliman graduate ako. Mataas na ang sweldo ko sa call center. Matagal na nitong nabawi ang tuition ko, including Masteral units. Nakakatulong na ako sa magulang ko, nakakapagbakasyon en grande pa ako kasama ang mga kaibigan ko sa kung saan-saang lugar dito sa Pilipinas at sa ibang bansa.
Hot guys who read…

… are definitely hotter.
Today at The Library Underground, I talk about the time I spent with Alexander Dreymon, star of the upcoming Blood Ransom with Anne Curtis and who also matched wits with Patti LuPone herself in last year’s American Horror Story: Coven.
He reads, and he can hold his own against an icon like Patti LuPone (until she shoves a pillow on his face, that is).
Trash for Cash

Recently, I watched Lav Diaz’s Norte, Hangganan ng Kasaysayan. Actually, I was able to watch it twice, the four-hour running time notwithstanding. It was a pretty amazing experience, a Filipino movie so good it’s rare. Very rare. It’s been chosen as our entry for the Oscars this year, and here’s hoping it makes it to the final list of nominees at least. It has won a lot of awards and rave reviews internationally, and the crowning glory would be a much-covered Academy Award.
Because: Books.
by allancarreon on Sep.28, 2014, under Literature
I love books. Really, I would never have become a writer if I didn’t start with books. Books are food for the soul. They stimulate the mind, bringing in new ideas and new worlds into one’s consciousness. They mould your being, providing insight and growth no matter how much you might not know it.
Shame
by allancarreon on Aug.26, 2014, under Film & TV, Queer
Yes, I admit it. I am occasionally shallow, and I give in to bouts of teenybopperdom.
I actually watched Enrique Gil’s concert. He dances like the bastard son of Ricky Martin and Magic Mike; his singing is passable, if auto-tuned. I’ve seen his movies; he has acting potential.
