My life as a talky movie 2
This is what happens when people know too much about movies and too little about botany. Carlo, Noel, and I are having coffee when I notice the vase of flowers on the table.
Me: That’s a fragrant plant. What is it?
Carlo: Oh they have that in funeral parlors.
Noel: What’s it called?
Carlo: I’ll remember it in a minute. It starts with a C…It’s the title of a Rosanna Roces movie.
Me: Curacha?
Carlo: No.
Noel: Machete 2?
Me: Patikim Ng Pinya?
Noel: Ligaya Ang Itawag Mo Sa Akin?
Carlo: No, I think it starts in A.
Me: Azucena! That’s not even a Rosanna Roces movie.
Noel: It’s a Carlitos Siguion-Reyna movie.
Carlo: Didn’t you love Ikaw Pa Lang Ang Minahal?
Noel: Yes, I saw it twice, then I realized it was a remake of The Heiress with Olivia De Havilland.
Me: Was Olivia De Havilland the sister of Joan Fontaine?
Carlo: Yes! But they didn’t get along.
Me: Joan Fontaine was brilliant in the Ophuls movie, Letter From An Unknown Woman.
Carlo: She reminded me of me. But I don’t like Vienna. Although they have good pastries.
