Back To The 70's


Recommended Posts

One of the few cuts I like in the soundtrack was Aerosmith's take on "Come Together". To some extent, EWF's "Got to Get You Into My Life" but only because I'm a huge EWF fan. Other than that, I would tend to agree with you pards. Frampton was not at his best here, the Bee Gees were already over-exposed by this time and oh well...

 

Anyway, girls loved that movie though. Believe it or not, I still ended up watching it thrice on three separate occasions. Geez...

 

 

 

@bods: This reminds me that you are a kumbento boy! Lucky you. Madaming maganda dyan sa katabi nyong school hahaha. IMHO, Buen Consejo has got to be one of Metro Manila's best kept secrets :thumbsupsmiley:. I have friends there mostly from GS '76 HS '80....we may have some common friends?

 

PS. So madalas ka rin mag-meryenda ng pansit kay Mang Ado? Bumili ng tinapay sa Dimasalang bakery?

 

yes pare, we have had occasion to discuss this Pasig connection several years back here in MTC di ba hehehe...

Wag mo nang ipaglakasan ang 'kumbento boy' at parang kinikilabutan nako dyan... yes that defunct CBC had a lot of pretty girls and I got starry-eyed every time I saw the girls there on our way home. Dun nga sa soiree namin with the 3rd year girls nagkabalubaluktot dila ko eh and daming maganda na nakita ko sa wakas nang malapitan - ayun wala tuloy naiskor hehehe...Baka nga may common friends tayo - I may be familiar with the Batch 76 there..

 

Yes - Ado's Panciteria is still alive and well after all these years - medyo sumikat na nga ito sa buong Metro Manila eh.

The pancit is still to die for - reminds me to go there sometime - the place has not changed. No not Dimasalang. Dun kami sa El Pasig Bakery and La Espesyal - mga classmates ko kasi may-ari nito hehehe...

Daming LPs sa Marikina Shoe Expo Cubao. Merong 3 for P100. Malilinis pa yung iba. Masara din yung mga kainan sa loob. maybe we can have a lunch eb there and take a look at the LPs.

 

Bought about 20 LPs. Problem is wala pa kong turn table.

 

I can help you there pare hehehe...

I think I also have Mel Brooks' History of the World Part 1. Also some Monty Python (Life of Brian)...Bellini's is a favorite there - medyo hilarious nga lang mga waiters dun. May isa salita ng salita ng Italian hehehe...but the food is superb...

Hi Storm!

 

Bro, I like your list-- specially Camelot. Are there copies of this pa ba?

I recently got a VCD of Fiddler on the Roof and it was a blast to watch it again. Singing in the Rain is also availabe locally.

South Pacific has an excellent soundtrack too!

 

Wala akong copy ng Camelot, Can Can and Carousel. Yung iba, meron akong DVD. Hahanapin ko lang.

 

I can help you there pare hehehe...

O ano mga pards? EB na sa Cubao?

Jesus Christ Superstar was my most memorable. Grade 6 ako nun sa Ateneo. One thing about growing up in Katipunan, they teach you how to appreciate yung performing arts. We looked forward to those annual plays which were almost always musicals. The last play (directed by the tireless "Mr Singson" which to this day still run Ateneo Childrens Theatre yata) we had before out batch graduated was Joseph's and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, brings back haunting memories kasi kasama din namin mga counterparts namin sa Maryknoll hehehe wow that was so long ago.

 

Back to JCS...I wore out the LP of that one. Every song is memorable and we all knew them by heart. My favorite scene was when a couple of jet fighter planes swooped on Judas.....Soooo looooong Juuuudas.....pooooor oooold Juuuudas....

 

 

Slide... :cool: My most memorable..... Ibong Adarna... Peter Pan...for Pinoi... mga first crushes; idol-worship (sa mga lead players) our first experiences in harmless flirting.... ;)

 

Remember the Jail booth / Marriage Booth / Dedication Booth at the AGS Feast of the Guardian Angels yearly fair ??? ....

Some of the most influential movies came out of the 70s.

 

JAWS - it made everyone think twice about going to the beach and gave people the awareness of what sharks can do

 

 

STAR WARS - it changed the way science fiction and special effects are presented..forever.

 

 

SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER - immortalized the disco era on film

 

 

THE GODFATHER (Parts 1 & 2) - changed the way mob movies were made..forever

 

 

THE FRENCH CONNECTION - changed the way car chase scenes were made..forever

 

 

SUPERMAN - you never saw a comic book superhero this way before and immortalized the late Christopher Reeve

 

 

THE EXORCIST - you never saw a demon at its worst before Father Merrin... and a 360 degree head twisting too

Laughing trip ito sir. Dito ba yung parody nila ng Last Supper where Mel Brooks would exclaim : Jesus!!! Tapos sasagutin siya : Yes?

Tapos paulit-ulit nilang ginawa?

 

Also remember Young Frankenstein.

yes i remembered thats the girl. so does anyone have a copy of the "sinta" soundtrack?

 

have you seen it? dont you agree its too way ahead of its time? the downside, though, is "sinta" is a direct translation of the musical "fantasticks".

 

 

The ingenue's name was CATHY MELENDRES(Z). She is currently one of the singers in a 70's band .. I forgot the name.

add ko na rin ang ROCKY (1976) - the movie about an underdog named Rocky Balboa who 'went the distance' with the Heavyweight Champion of the World Apollo Creed. Sly Stallone was also the underdog in terms of movie writing scripts, no major Hollywood studios wanted to do the movie except for Paramount and initially they had a differnet actor in mind to play Rocky but Sylvester Stallone inssisted on playing the part. The movie went on to become Best Picture with Best Director award to John G. Avildsen along with a Best Actor nomination for Sylvester Stallone. The movie immortalized Sylvester Stallone and it's the start of a six series of 'Rocky' movies.
