History as fish poop
At the bookstore cafe I run into Noel the filmmaker with the dented head (got run over by a truck, lived), whom I hadn’t seen since the turn of the century, and the first thing he says is, “You ran my Lapu-Lapu story without acknowledging me!” I say, “Yes I did, I attributed it to a filmmaker.” He says, “In Newsweek yes, but not in Twisted 7.” I say, “I said it was a theory.” He says, “But not my theory.”
So for the record, the story about Magellan being eaten by a giant fish (Lapu-Lapu) was conjured up by Noel Lim. There.
In other bits: Whom did Martin Scorsese anoint as the next Martin Scorsese? Unexpected answer.

Did he not continue the story with Lapu-Lapu’s subsequent encounter with the lowly cook?

since were talking about movies, i’d just like to inform you all na the film “Russian Ark” is now available on Youtube in it’s entirety (10 parts).
maniwala ka ba na the entire film consists of one long unbroken shot for the whole 96 minutes? talo pa ang children of men dito.
