On our way home yesterday from Tito Boy’s Despedida Party and my cousin Tintin’s birthday party, we saw a Captain Barbell teaser mounted on a certain overpass along EDSA. And upon the site of Richard Gutierrez (who plays the role of Captain Barbell) we had a discussion on how fake his abs and muscles are. It’s really exagerrated. I was even thinking that the costume itself has those macho-like contours. I think that they should have asked Mr. Gutierrez to undergo weight training.

Afterwards, we also agreed upon that Richard Gutierrez does not even fit the role of Captain Barbell. Captain Barbell is not supposed to be mestizo-looking. He’s supposed to be more Filipino-looking. Why didn’t the casting director thought about that? Oh well, maybe they’ll be making a film where Darna and Captain Barbell will meet and will have an affair so that they’ll make waves at the box office and churn more money from it with the belief that they have a lot of fans that are very much eager to see them in a movie together.

I hope that they will not turn this crazed idea into a reality. However, I am not denying the aforementioned possibility.

Me and a friend was able to watch a 45-minute film at SM Mall of Asia’s IMAX Theater. We were choosing between NASCAR 3D and Everest 2D. We agreed watching NASCAR 3D. When we went inside the theater and was able to get a preview of what IMAX is like, we were so mesmerized that we felt like we’re going to be eaten by dinosaurs. Also, we find the Happy Feet movie kinda cute and funny. Just picture this out, a penguin doing a tap dance without the background music. And it’s like in front of you. It’s as if you could touch the penguin. Then, a trailer of Deep Sea 3D was also shown. If you could recall, there used to be a cable channel dubbed as the aquarium channel and that is what Deep Sea 3D is like. The only difference is that the IMAX experience of that is way better.

NASCAR 3D is a 45-minute documentary. However, we felt that it would be better if the racing parts of the film would be able to show you what it is like to be on the driver’s seat. Or maybe, the experience of what it is like if cars were being thrown over you. In that manner, the IMAX experience would be much enjoyable and would be really worth it.
