funny posts, dude. you guys rock. yup, it would be interesting to see the infinity gauntlet in movie form. but maybe animation treatment ala Final Fantasy would do it more justice.

if its cosmic epics you're interested in, why not E for Extinction/Imperial story in New X-Men. The story, action, and the edge grant morrison brings is magnificent to behold.

I want a great movie with a gay protagonist.

Simply because I've never seen one.

Uh, how about, uh... Ben Affleck in a maroon leather suit?

There have been some, like Philadelphia and Flawless, they were pretty good.

A gay superhero would be interesting though. According to my large stores of useless trivia, I think Northstar from Alpha Flight was the only gay superhero in the Marvel Comics universe. I forgot where I read it.

northstar's revelation that he was gay was nothing more than a cheap stunt by marvel to show the public that they were into social issues as well. after alpha flight #106, hindi na play up ulit until some time and now in the pages of uncanny x-men (now a crap title, new x-men and ultimate x-men just blows, hmm, sexual remark unintentional, them away.

if you liked band of brothers, there's this book that i feel is ten times more powerful than stephen ambrose's best-selling novel. the said book is CHARLIE COMPANY: WHAT VIETNAM DID TO US. It was written by Peter Goldman and Tony Fuller. The success of this book along with Mark Baker's NAM helped bring oral histories and accounts into popularity.

Check out this book, It's no longer available locally. in fact, it was never released by National Bookstore, Goodwill or Bookmark. I got my copy at the Rastro. Remember that Greenhills' bookshop? They were a precursor to the specialty shops of today.

I said a movie with a gay protagonist, not a movie for gay protagonists. Although, such a movie would nevertheless appeal to both. Hehe

i wanna see a movie version of "Doctors" by Erich Seagal. Have no idea, though, who'd fit the role of Laura Castellano and Barney Livingston.

Here's an idea! They did a modern retelling of Joan of Arc starring Mila Jovovich. How about Ignatius of Loyola's story starring Russle Crowe? Michael Mann might make a good director for this.

For that matter, how about the story of EDSA II? Pero dapat foreign outfit ang gumawa, although siyempre dapat local artists ang gumanap, or at least Pinoy-looking talents. Super wala akong tiwala sa kahit sinong local outfit for this kind of a project, masyadong mapulitika. Imagine the opening spiel (ehem-ehem)

"Not too long ago, in a country far away in the tropics, a trial had galvanized a nation. It was a trial that would define the new course of a struggling democracy in the developing world. The charges: plunder, fraud, other abuses while in public office, culpable violations of the Constitution. The Defense's case: nothing but circumstantial evidence, hearsay and the word of a known political warlord. The Prosecution's case: Various eyewitness testimonies and a controversial envelope. The Defendant: The President of the Republic of the Philippines."

The opening scene: The Senate, with the Senators sitting as the jury.

Mr Chief Justice Hilario Davide bangs his gavel and the "no" votes have it. The controversial envelope upon which the Prosecution's case depends remains unopened.

Next scene: The EDSA Shrine and the crowd building up. In its midst is veteran BBC Correspondent Jack Miller (Mel Gibson), reporting on the scene.

Ah basta, something like this... I'll see if I can think something up for Ignacio's story. Kayo, baka gusto niyong dugtungan?

Tama, opening scene Hilario Davide, saying the no votes have it. But the next scene cannot be the crowd building up. That'll practically be the climax of the whole movie already. Kailangan flash back to what brought the whole thing. First 10 minutes Erap presidency, the political milieu, unprecendented win, ek ek. Then come the chinks in the armor, the scandals, the sequence of events that showed that things were not going well. Middle of the movie, out comes Chavit Singson. Everything is going to build up from there. The movie is mostly Senate house scenes already, with the witnesses vs. the defense lawyers as particularly tense scenes. The tension of course rises all the way to the No votes have it scene. After, we return back to normal time, from the flashback, then we have the whole texting phenomenon, people gathering bit. Movie ends in the next 12 minutes, with Erap boarding the barge.

Throughout the entire movie, the life of one less in the limelight person would have to be interspersed in the script. Maybe pwede the BBC correspondent mentioned earlier. Maybe he's reporting in the Philippines and he left something unfinished back in the UK.

I would like to have the Tuesdays with Morrie
adapted into a movie form. (ay, wait... I think there IS already one although I haven't seen it. The story was very touching
and it really is based on a true story.
One more thing- The Alchemist.
I'm not sure if this was already turned into
a movie.

Id love to see the first novel of Parasite Eve (well... the game would also be good as an adaptation) as a film.

I'd love to see a movie telling the saga of the Mystra's Chosen: Elminster. So much fun.

Fun din siguro to see a counterstrike movie.

The Nancy Drew series are nice! I'd like to see them make it on film!

i agree. an updated nancy drew and hardy boys would sure be fun. but it would be more effective as an ongoing TV series rather than in movie form.

but cool. who would you cast in them, dude?

Hmmmm... haven't thought of any yet! But she has to be witty yet overly curious! (i mean, sa mukha pa lang niya, you'll know that she's the curious cat) Still haven't found anyone who'd fit the description! Oh ya! and not too flashy nor kinky, if you know what i mean!

Three words:

DRAGONLANCE CHRONICLES TRILOGY.

I don't even know you, but I like you already. hehehe

You DO know me, Ben.

It's JD.

DID YOU JUST CALL ME BEN?!?!?! :eek: :mad:

I am not Ben. Oh God, magugunaw na ang mundo.
And I don't suppose you're JD Uy?

My mistake.

Sorry.

So who are you? Care to PM?

Hala! Now we've even got The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen coming out as a motion picture! Not to mention the LOTR Rerturn Of The King movie by the end of the year. See what thou hast wrought o King of yonder Bleachers! Anyway, isn't anybody getting just a wee bit weezy with all of these superheroes coming into their three-dimensional own on the silver screen. I don't know, but there are just some things better left to the imaginative power of the written word.
