When I Traveled Down the Sumida River and Saw 200 Posts

Eight years ago, when I started writing this blog, I had no idea this blog could reach 200 posts. Hell, I had no idea I could reach 10 posts without me getting bored as hell of the whole thing and ragequitting less than a month in.

But, you know, I hung in there. In those 8 years, I reviewed over 9000 movies*, had filmmakers post on my blog, and talked about taking a shit, painting, Cynthia Luster, and obscure fighting games. I predicted Gokaiger five years before it was aired in Japan.

*not actual number

In celebration of getting 200 posts, I've changed the site layout into something a bit more modern. It's still basically the same old shit, so don't expect too much. I've also decided to talk about a bunch of random topics, in the spirit of some of my old posts.

Verse 1. WTF ARE PEOPLE SEARCHING FOR IN THIS SITE?

A quick look at the site statistics turns this up:

10. Supaidaman - the granddaddy of Super Sentai, even before it was called Super Sentai.Sure there was Goranger, but many of the tropes used in Super Sentai/Power Rangers came from Supaidaman.
9. and 7. Gravure Idols - I'd love to be the next gravure picture gallery site, but I don't really have a lot of those here.
8. and 4. Something about Japanese Medical Dramas - ever since I posted about them, there have been a few new good ones. I think Jin is a classic, and I think Doctors is pretty good too.
1. Big Booty Pics - WELL.

Verse 2: Cinemalaya wrap up

It's now a yearly tradition for this site to churn out at least one review of a Cinemalaya Film. You may have noticed the Review Aggregators at the right hand side of the page, which tracks down all of the reviews I've done so far, and all of the reviews I plan to do.

As for this year, a friend and I have made a little table highlighting the various aspects of this year's festival:

	Instant Mommy	Debosyon	Ekstra	Purok 7	Porno	Amor Y Muerte	Diplomat Hotel
Nico Antonio is in it	+		+				+
Anita Linda is in it					+
Behind-the-scenes/camera	+		+		+		+
BOOBS	+/2	+			+++	+++
Multiple stories					+
Non-Tagalog language	+	+				+
Social network/Online communication	+
OFW flavor				+
Excessive cussing	+				+
Fapping					++

	Babagwa	Sana Dati	Rekorder	David F.	Liars	Nuwebe	Quick Change	Transit
Nico Antonio is in it	+
Anita Linda is in it				+		+
Behind-the-scenes/camera		+	+
BOOBS	++					+	+++, none of them female
Multiple stories				+				+
Non-Tagalog language	+			+				+
Social network/Online communication	+
OFW flavor				1/+			+ish	++
Excessive cussing	++			+			+
Fapping	+		+			+	+

this must be the Fappingest Cinemalaya year since its founding. Seriously.





Credit for this table also goes to my friend, who I will call by the pseudonym "Papa P."

To its credit, however, the festival doesn't have a single movie that looks like it could be included in the "Shet ang Hirap Hirap Ko" film festival. That's a good thing.

I have nothing more to say, really. Here's to a billion more posts. The previous sentence would probably be ironic if I didn't write again after this, so I promise, at least one more post after this one.
