i had a great night last night.
went to rex navarrete's show at the wiltern LG theater in koreatown. the show was scheduled at 9:00 pm and we were there few minutes before the clock struck 9 but the line was just too long it snaked down to the next street. lots of young people (read: college students from ucla, uci and various cal states) were there. i think they composed around 65% of the entire audience.
the long lines stretched down to denny's down the block. this show was a certified blockbuster. congratulations, rex!the show was good. it was called 'badass madapaka.' it was (almost) a two-hour show and (almost) the same as the one i saw in manila (at the sm megamall) weeks ago. well, almost.
here's rex from where we were seated (mezzanine). i started singing 'muntik nang maabot, ang langiiiiiiit' and my friend started laughing. kidney aside, thanks for the tix winston.as an added bonus, i got a kiss and a hug from iza calzado. woohoo. hello albert! iza's such a cool gal. i met her last week at the presscon for sigaw's participation at the screamfest. their group consisted of direk yam laranas and the film's editor manet dayrit.
the pretty pretty iza calzado after the showing of her movie 'sigaw' at the screamfest los angeles held at the loews universal citywalk cinemas. now i know why my friend albert is so smitten by her that he hasn't missed an episode of encantadia. iza also introduced me to richard gutierrez, he of mulawin and sugo fame. hehehe. he was quite cool. my friend, however was not, when he met the former child star. he clammed up. he froze. almost.

sigaw translates to uh the echo?
it should've been scream. but then again there's already a movie titled scream.
if it's the echo it should've been alingawngaw. or something. labo. pinoy translation lessons 101.
that was the first question i asked the director during the presscon. his answer was simple. since hollywood producers are planning to make a remake of this one (like the ring and the grudge), he was asked to come up with a suitable title that would stick to people's minds. of course 'scream' was way out of the question. 'shout' sounded like a, uhm, gary v. song? lol. so not fit for a thriller. so he came up with 'the echo.' ang saya saya.
