Back To The 70's

[jt2003]

16track, yes...storm is right. In the boxed set you'll see some weird scenes where James Caan was playing the role of Michael in some test shoots. Really strange to see Santino in that military uniform acting out Michael's cool and subdued character.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I've been watching James Caan for years, and I simply can't imagine him as Michael. Remember "Rollerball" and "The Gambler"? James Caan was/is at his best playing Santino types. There are exceptions, though. For instance, James Caan was great in "Brian's Song."

Just removing the cobwebs honey bunch ... although I may not have any need to use it!

 

(i hope! )

 

Yes I remember him.  ALWAYS the kontrabida.  He also starred in pinoy horro movies as DRACULA / VAMPIRE.  He looked as if BAD person siya talaga.

 

I last saw him in THE BUZZ talking about his bout with Cancer.  He is the brother of PAQUITO DIAZ.  Did you know that he is an ATENEAN ??? Shock Ako. !

Madaming Ateneans sa sa show biz!!! Let me think of a few.... hmmmm..... Gary Lising! hmmmm.... what's the name of the guy jailed in Tanay?

 

hehehehe!!!!

[storm]

Joseph? Naging mayor noong 70s.

The 70's people are hybernating on this rainy Sunday afternoon!

 

Sorry but 60's ito:

 

Does anybody remember a TV series called "The Champions"? Two men and a woman who possessed strength and the ability to communicate through telepathy. It was shown in channel 5 then re-appeared in Sept 1972....I was so excited to watch the first episode....but the following week, Martial Law was declared....grooooan.....

 

How about "The Avengers"? My favorite episode was when they had cyborgs as enemies.

 

Other favorites were 'Twilight Zone', 'Outer Limits', 'Lost in Space' (never fear, Smith is here...), 'The Time Tunnel' and 'Land of the Giants'.

 

In 'Land of the Giants', the "big" people would discover the presence of....well, the "little people". You'd think they'd be amazed at such a discovery, right? Nahhh....their usual reaction was to step on them....hahaha what a crazy series!

 

Back to the 70's :

How about the 'Night Stalker' back in '75? Reporter Karl Colchak on the prowl.

 

Circa' 1973 came that English science fiction series "UFO", where strange looking crafts (I still remember that high-pitched sound they emitted) would unexplainably attack the earth and 'moonbase Alpha'. Thinking about it now, it's hilarious to remember the setting was supposed to be 1981! Kung sabagay that was the generation of androgyny so Boy George, Simon LeBon and David Bowie could easily pass off as aliens

 

Then there were Channel 13's 'The Rockford Files' and 'Barretta'...Channel 9's Hawaii-Five-O ("Book 'em Dano!), KOJAK.....Ch 7's Starsky & Hutch....and the original Mission : Impossible.

 

Speaking of 'The Blob'....another memorable "monster" movie was "The Tarantula" withClint Eastwood appeared as an fighter pilot.

1 tulog na lang!!!

 

Post ko ulit yung poster kasi nauso ang swing nung 70s.

 

Dance the Night Away. I love the nightlife. :cool:

[storm]

Swing pa ulit!

^^^ Let's go local.  Sa mga mahihilig na lalake.  Sino ang mga stars ng mga '70s bomba movie na ito:

 

Uhaw

Gutom

Busog

Saging ni Pacing

Nympho

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

According to an office mate who's much older than I am, Uhaw starred Merle Fernandez. Saging ni Pacing starred no other than the mataray mom of Ruffa Gutierrez, Anabelle Rama. He also mentioned that as late back as the 80s, old VHS copies of these films can still be bought at a store near the Divisoria area along Recto. I wouldn't know if this is true.

I never got to watch those movies bec I was underage. As in di ko pa maabot ang taas ng booth ng taga-bigay ng ticket. I saw the ads on the news papers. Yup si Merle Fernandez ang Uhaw at Gurom; yung Busog di ko alam at yung Saging ni Pacing Si rossana Roces at Rod Navarro, and baka andun si Annabelle Rama in a supporting role. The most I got to watching a Tagalog artsy-sex film was Scorpio Nights. Noon 70s you relied more on your imagination kasi "below 18" not admitted.

[jt2003]

Same here. I never got to watch those films. I remember, though, that our school bus passed by a theater every day which showed "Uhaw." When martial law was declared, there was a clampdown on "bomba movies," so producers found a way to circumvent the rules...through wet t-shirts. One of the more popular films with wet t-shirts was "Ang Pinakamagandang Hayop sa Balat ng Lupa," which featured Gloria Diaz and Elizabeth Oropesa.

Good Morning to ALL

 

MAGNIFICO STORM !!!!!!

 

To all 70's people...I strongly recommend that you see/view STORM's exhibit. Beautiful!!!

[masi]

With Deep Purple music playing in the background, Pinoy Strigoi, Augustmoon, Liberty and I drove to Avellana Gallery at F.B. Harrison to view Storm's 1st One-Man Show.

 

Avellana Gallery is located in a compound of wood-stone art-deco architecture homes, in thick living vegetation, one would never thought existed in the Pasay section of Harrison Street. I finally met Storm and after a warm exchange of pleasantries and congratulatory messages, we proceeded inside the gallery. Swing music was playing and one can't help but relive the glory of this music that had melody, harmony not to mention lyrics that spelled like poetry.

 

There were several pieces on view and each and every one was a sight to behold. A moment of motion rendered in brass and copper(mind you this is not an easy medium to work on). Motion in art! :thumbsupsmiley:

 

For a 1st one man show, I can only say that Storm has the touch of a "maestro" :thumbsupsmiley: . We have a modest art collection, but we never ventured in sculptures thus far. There were a few "master" pieces that I have been eyeing in previous shows I attended but they were not shared by my wife's attention, so those pieces may still be in the gallery or in somebody else's house.

 

But with such artistry and deft, we may have one in our home soon.

[walangiba]

Bravo, bravo, bravo!!

 

I can't say enough about the beautiful artwork Storm has presented in his exhibit! Each sculpture is truly a masterpiece!!

I'm sure they are! Sa pictures pa lang, impressed na ako. And considering that (as Pareng Masi correctly pointed out), these are not the easiest media to work on.

 

Pareng Storm: Much as I wanted to drop by, ang layio kasi masyado ng location ko. Let me just extend my kudos to you! Bilib kami! :cool:

[pinoy_strigoi]

Congrats Storm for the wonderful show. Great works of art. And great brownies too. hehehe

[augustmoon]

ITAAS ko lang ang thread...

Bakit tahimik ang thread ?????
