JAZA watches a lot of TV (and reviews Spider-Man)

July 02, 2012 By: jessicazafra Category: Television 10 Comments →


This is:
a. A still photo from Pretty In Pink or The Last Days of Disco.
b. The deleted scene from Say Anything before the boombox at the window sequence.
c. Ayala Corporation chairman and CEO Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala in college.
d. A lot of hair and he still has it, though in a different shade.

Thanks to Jaime’s pernicious influence we have been watching a lot of television lately. But not on television—technology has liberated us from the tyranny of the time slot. These are the TV shows Jaime has watched/is watching on assorted gadgets.

1. The Wire
2. Mad Men
3. Justified
4. The Killing
5. The Office (both Brit and US versions)
6. Breaking Bad
7. House
8. Dexter
9. Suits
10. The Sopranos
11. Game of Thrones
12. The Good Wife
13. Homeland

CEO review of The Amazing Spider-Man: Loved Spider-Man, by the way. How the hell does Andrew Garfield get away with still pretending he is a high school kid? Was he not already an adult in Red Riding (Note: Deeply depressing British series about the hunt for the serial killer known as the Yorkshire Ripper), and then a college kid in Social Network? He is moving backwards. What next, primary school?

What to wear to your business meeting

Half the year is over (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) but you still have time to show your colleagues, clients and competitors a sight they won’t forget.


Beautiful, hideous science-fiction and horror masks knitted by Tracy Widdess. via io9.

This one says, “We’re not parting with our network for less than Php200 Billion.”

And this one gives you credibility when you cry, “Of course it’s a super-duper-mega-monster-blockbuster-bonanza! Don’t listen to the people who actually saw it!”

Can’t argue with that face.

Meanwhile, in art crime news, read the curious case of the Spongebob artist, three ninjas and a gallery owner.

The opposite of ‘out of kilter’

After another excellent dinner at Boboy and James’s half the guests got up to go to the White Party at the Mandarin and the other half stayed to drink and talk.


What the well-dressed man wears to go out: a kilt. James Reyes models his own design. That’s Pascal the pasosyal na askal admiring the kilt. Photo by RickyV.

About an hour later, as we were psychoanalyzing everyone we know and others we don’t know (“This must not be in the contract because she wants sole custody of Suri. That could get ugly.”), James returned.

“Why are you back so soon?” we asked.

“It was the straightest white party ever,” he declared.

The attendees may have thought it was a party full of white people haha. Lagot, gay culture is now mainstream.
