Pareng Bods, very interesting topic we have here. Another landmark in that area is (or was?) Miami Motel. Ewan ko lang kung giniba na.

[robbietan]

just passed by the other day, parang hinde ko na nakita ung miami hotel, or maybe it was my poor eyesight? I got hold of several of my elementary textbooks and some of these books plug the 'new and modern' ODEON cinema house corner rizal avenue and recto avenue. ngayon the place is better known for the 'odeon gals', quickies with 4 and below ratings for 500 bucks. erferferf

This year marks the 30th year of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. When it started in 1975, among the originals were Dan Ayckroyd, Chevy Chase, the late John Belushi, the late Gilda Radner. Among the other alumni were Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, Adam Sandler, Billy Crystal, Chris Rock, the late Chris Farley, Dana Carvey, Mike Myers (Austin Powers) - all greats who later made a big name in movies later on.

 

What I remember most vividly about the show was an episode in 1992 (?) wherein the guest musical performer Sinead O' Connor performed Bob Marley's WAR a capella, at the end of which she tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II. I got to read a write-up of this incident lately. All the people on the show (it was always live) got into a state of shock when this happened but this did not prevent the show's director at the time to have the presence of mind not to flash the AUDIENCE APPLAUSE sign at the end of the song - the result of which there was total silence when Sinead finished her antic.

 

What was loathsome about the incident was that during the show's dress rehearsal, Sinead requested to insert this a capella song and at the rehearsal what she was showing and tore up was a picture of children in poverty. All along she was planning this stunt and really wanted to pull a fast one on the show.

 

Sinead by the way was born and raised in Catholic Ireland and was temporarily a nun before she became a musical artist.

sir robbietan, wala namang mawawala sa amin ng wife mo kung manonood lang. saka ung napanood ko, not that hot. hehehe! pinaka simply lang siguro.

 

ehermmmmm! hindi ka pala pumapasok ha? erferferferf. (pahiram ng signature mo ha?) nakakahawa. lols!

[robbietan]

yup, and sinead apologized for the incident later (after several bashings and threats).

 

the 70s also featured rowan and martin's laff-in as well as the brit benny hill show. laff-in (canadian?) alumni includes goldie hawn, ruth buzzi (?) and artie something (hinde ko pa ma-alala). benny hill show survived to the 80s when it was shown in channel 9 and still gives me fits of laughter when i catch the show

 

mmde sunflower, mahirap kc magsama ng chix sa mga ganung places, baka mapagkamalan pang 'for hire' and mapa-away pa ako kung mai mag-offer ng bid sa wife ko, erferferf. baka kc masyadong mababa, ERFERFERF! (jokjokjok)

I remember my mother and I , after watching movies in Cubao (New Frontier , or

other moviehouses in Aurora), eating in this ice cream parlor. This place also

served hamburgers placed in plates (or platito). As a kid, I said that this sandwich

was really quite big and delicious, and became a favorite. Ngayon, sya na ang

dambuhalang korporasyon na Jollibee. Medyo ok lang lasa ng burger nila ngayon, but

I feel it was more delicious then.

[robbietan]

one day robbietan was eating in a jolibee fastfood near ue-recto (wala na, nasunog na). he didnt feel like eating a sandwich then so he pulls out his lunchpail (college pa lang aku nuun, erferferf) and eats his baon rice together with the hamburger patty he extracted from the sandwich.

 

his mother (d jolibee manager of d branch) informs top management and voila

 

jolibee's burger steak was born......

 

believe it or not........(jack palance)

True. Very true.

 

Her career went on a super speed downhill spin from there. She even made it worse by refusing to have the American national anthem played in one of her concerts in the US whcih even angered more people.

 

After she did a cover of Prince's song ["Nothing Compares To You"], she has disappeared totally from the music scene.

I dunno what's wrong with her - I think she was a rape victim or something when she was younger..sayang she had talent pa naman...

A lot of people blame their Catholic upbringing on everything that goes wrong with their life - pouring out their angst against an institution which teaches mercy and compassion. I guess Sinead was one of those unfortunate people...

 

pare, EB na! let's go to a joint playing 70's and 80's music, including Sinead's NOTHING COMPARES TO U.

Speaking of Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi - THE BLUES BROTHERS was a good film, I guess, fun at the least. Great soundtrack with the PETER GUNN theme.

In the opening scene where Belushi is being released from prison, the prison guard is doing an inventory of his personal belongings......".....towel, pencil, pen, condoms, USED CONDOMS....." or something like that

 

John Belushi was a great comedian - but he couldn't handle his demons and died young. Chris Farley came aboard around the mid-90's and he admitted that Belushi was his idol. They look similar - Farley was also obese. Farley even went to the extent of wearing some pants of Belushi which he found in Belushi's old locker. Farley later also died young because of his excesses.

I agree with you pards! :cool: If I were to list down my top ten favorite movies of all time, the Blues Brothers (the original, not the BB 2000 ha) will definitely be on that list.
