July 01:
Missing Nick and Amelie.

Where oh where did Nickelodeon go? The Disney Channel should be okay, but not if it means losing Hey Arnold! and Pete and Pete. ):

***
Local music news: I read in Scott's column yesterday that the Pin-Up Girls have signed up with US-based Know-it-All Records. Two more mystery bands are said to be next, and I'm hoping that Chain Gang is one of them. Anyway, for vintage Pin-Up, click here.

Like Ellen, I still haven't seen Amelie, though Arnold and I have been trying our best to catch it. It was showing at SM North Edsa last Wednesday, but at the time, we were more excited to watch Minority Report. The next day, we got to Megamall at 7pm only to find that the last screening was at 6:something. Friday, I was sick. Saturday we couldn't find parking in Galleria after 50+ minutes of driving around and so decided to leave the Ortigas area and go to Powerplant instead. Sure enough, finding parking in PP was a breeze, but, surprise, no Amelie (Forevermore --yucch-- was showing, Amelie was not. What's up with Powerplant???). I've called up some theatres and most of them said that they're not showing it anymore. *grumble*. At this rate, we just might have to settle for a Greenhills version.

all the info re Amelie.
Keep your fingers

the UP Film Ctr
screening sounds like
the best option,
thanks! Haha, and

Switzerland ka!)

you might want to check your luck at shangri la (if you get to read this before wednesday) or if you are really really dying to see it on big screen and can wait, UP Film Center is going to show it on July 29 (tama ba? check their site para sigurado). I watched it on VCD and on the big screen and there are some details you will miss when you watch it on the small screen. you should really watch it on the big screen or else you will miss half of your life. promise.:)

I forgot to mention that I love watching foreign films with English subtitles. The Greenhills copies are in French. The reason why it is a hit is that "Amelie" is one great blog-of-a movie.

Greenhills copy is passable...audio is tolerable...strange but it was showing back here in Switz last year in English and I didn't get to see it (kasi P 450 per movie dito), better na yung P 50 for a Greenhills copy (at least once in a while, they help....)

amalie is a great movie, worth finding if anything for the great cinematography. it's just a good all around flick.
