The INCREDIBLES

I watched The Incredibles with my sister and ate Avi after classes were over. Before the movie started we got to watch a short animation, usually done by Pixar in all their movies, about a sheep that learned to get through his downs in life by bouncing and bouncing his worries away... it was something like that. Anyway my sister could totally relate with the movie. You'll know why when you visit her blog.

The Incredibles is just like any other superhero flick. You have your villains and of course your heroes who in this movie are the Supers. They are the typical family who lives in the suburbs trying to make a living after the government has decided to isolate the superheroes from the public. Being superheroes, living a normal life is not easy and so goes the story. Even though it was intended as a family film, I personally don't think little children should watch it because first of all there are lots of scenes that portray graphic violence. Also you have words like "mediocrity" and "suffice" in the dialogue between Mr. and Mrs. Incredible. Man, a month ago I didn't even know that words like those exist. I could imagine a 5 year old kid scratching his head asking, "Mom, what does mediocrity mean? Is it some kind of a vegetable?" And the mom replying, "No dear, it means medyo madamot... medio - crity." Did you get it? Haha, di ko rin gets e. (zephyr wishes to apologize in his corny attempt to prove out his point)

Anyway we had our share of laughs in this movie but I find Finding Nemo more humorous than The Incredibles. Bottom-line is that it teaches the viewers that responsibility towards your own family should always come first.

Thought(s) for the day:
- Contrary to popular belief, metrosexuals, a word commonly used in the Philippines to describe guys who indulge themselves over their personal vanity, is actually a term synonymous to gay people. According to our professor Joey Ogatis (who by the way is our professor again in Comm II) metrosexual is actually a euphemism of homosexual. It is being gay said in a less harsh word. Come to think of it, UP has lots of them metrosexuals. :)

- I ate one of the best burgers I ever had in my entire life at Wendy's Burgers. For a price of P 125 you would ask yourself if it's worth it. I tell you IT IS WORTH IT. Advertisements tend to exaggerate their products but not in Wendy's Burgers. What you see is what you get. Their fries are so long and big that it makes the fries of every other fast food chain look like ants. It's uber delicious. Its quality and quantity paid for a "worth it" price.
