You got that right, another version of the infamous Haruhi dance, from the anime Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. Only this time performed by our all-time favorite Cebu Prison inmates.

It’s a bit on the dark side as it is a night time performance (practice?) but you can still see the star formation and the moves of the inmates moving to the beat of the music. I seriously think that their choreographer is an otaku.

Link discovery thanks to Ain.

This is extremely sugoi! To everyone who loved the Transformers movie and thoroughly enjoyed it (including my self), this one’s for all of you. A fellow fan created a movie-verse Bumblebee figure out of recycled boxes. And get this, with articulation! The articulation is a bit limited and cannot transform into the Camaro, but still is sugoi in it’s own way. The details are completely amazing and just wowed me.

Go to the guy’s blog to read the details on creating this masterpiece. This guy totally wins the internet for me.

Thanks to Jill for this awesome link!

It’s neither Jap nor Pinoy, but still sugoi.

Here’s the official trailer of The Golden Compass slated for December 2007 screening (which means it’ll be showed here in RP by January next year). I do hope it’s worth the wait, as I loved the His Dark Materials Books the movie is based on.

And dabnabbit, the trailer gave me goosebumps. But then again, that’s just me. XD

Enjoy!

It’s official, Dingdong Dantes will be playing Sergio Santibañez for GMA 7′s remake of Marimar. Is that why he is growing that awful beard?

Anyway, the real news is that it is confirmed that Marian Rivera got the title role of Marimar. It will be remembered that she played the mother of the Super Twins kids. (It all comes back to them, doesn’t it?).

Angel turned down the role due to conflict in schedule, and she admitted that singing and dancing is not one ofher strong suits.

Oh well, at least there will be a newer face on prime time drama.

Wait… Dingdong Dantes?

Entrance Fee: PhP 150 with free drink
