Thanks for the heads up. No worries....@ Curious G:<br /><br />Thanks for the heads up. No worries. I am not easily taken by suggestions of others. <br /><br />You are right in many aspect: watching these Pink Films are like moments of self flagellation - almost every single time, and I am no masochist. <br /><br />I just feel that these "Pink" directors should be held accountable for their bad artistry. <br /><br />I would love to see a period in Pinoy Cinema when Gay-themed flicks are considerable works of art. It is important then to put these mediocre directors to task. <br /><br />If they are bad, I will explain why. I'm sure many of them consider me the "scourge" of their existence, but a paying audience deserves film makers who actually take time to think and study their work before having people pay to watch them. It straddles consumer rights.<br /><br />And yeah, this blog has so far succeeded in "documenting" - archiving - ALL Pinoy films screened in commercial cinemas. <br /><br />Unfortunately, there are so much bad queer flicks being released recently, many of them are found here. But then - ALL other commercial Pinoy films (with no exception) are found here as well.<br /><br />Blush will eventually stop sometime, that's for sure. It is hard to maintain but I am very much aware that this blog has so many readers and friends already. This is one of the reasons why it is hard to stop. But as of now, it is alive, kicking, cursing, rejoicing, and all other emotions associated with the magic of the cinema - good and bad! That's that. :)Cathy Penahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208160859321153472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954980542950250593.post-49215555905325493462012-07-09T15:19:15.120+08:002012-07-09T15:19:15.120+08:00oh no, pls don't stop blogging. i realize that...oh no, pls don't stop blogging. i realize that it's good to have someone critique queer films that most newspaper reviewers don't even watch. naawa lang ako sa iyo pag nanonood ka ng films from your least fave directors. parang self-inflicted torture lang. :D<br />tsaka tama ka nga, gays are said to be more creative lalo na sa arts, pero bakit nga pagdating sa movies na ganito nawawala? maybe they have more in common with males in this regard in that all the blood that should go to the brain goes elsewhere pag skin flicks.<br /><br />so pls. don't stop writing. keep watching stuff so we can be forewarned. thanks!<br />-curious G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954980542950250593.post-18608967232877795012012-07-08T20:22:10.618+08:002012-07-08T20:22:10.618+08:00@ Curious G:
One of the purposes of this blog is ...@ Curious G:<br /><br />One of the purposes of this blog is to document ALL commercially shown Filipino movies (read: people fork out hard earned money to watch them in cinemas - instead of patronizing pirated copies). <br /><br />Some three years ago, I started this goal of doing this because people needed to know about the films that get shown in our movie houses. All FILIPINO commercial films - commercial, legit indies, queer flicks - get written here! <br /><br />This was an ambitious undertaking to say the least. I also feel that these "gay soft porn" film makers need to get "report cards". <br /><br />I am not too fond of sweeping principium, generalized observations and inferences from people who won't even set foot inside a cinema to watch a Pinoy film, mainstream or otherwise. The only way to judge a particular film is to go out and watch it. That, to me, is the most objective point of view. <br /><br />Aside from documentation, people can learn that there should be a standard in the making of such films. Blush is designed as a repository of ALL PINOY COMMERCIAL FILMS. Unfortunately, queer flicks seem to be outnumbering the mainstream releases. That isn't my fault.<br /><br />This blog has (almost)ALL PINOY RELEASES since 2010. I think it's a good thing. Discourse is healthy.<br /><br />To be quite honest, there isn't a day that I think of ending this blogging thing. In fact, last night, I've already considered placing a sign that says "IN HIBERNATION" in my next post. But I'm fickle. I changed my mind - as of this morning. But this might happen soon. Who knows? I just hate advertising it here. It's better to just do it instead of announcing it. It's like committing suicide, but not before announcing it to the whole world. I'd prefer that if and when I stop doing this, Blush just fades into the night without much fanfare. <br /><br />But since you asked... :)Cathy Penahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208160859321153472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954980542950250593.post-46787822198002705892012-07-08T19:29:26.958+08:002012-07-08T19:29:26.958+08:00hi just wondering why you watch the gay soft porn ...hi just wondering why you watch the gay soft porn movies when you know they're so bad. you know that they're for people who just want to see skin. hindi ka ba nasasayangan sa pera at oras mo? unless trabaho mo talaga manood ng mga yun? mtrcb ka ba or cbcp reviewer? <br />-curious G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
