Listening to: “Everybody’s Changing” by Keane
Reading: “Never Let Me Go” by Kazuo Ishiguro
It’s a bit late, but I heard that GMA will “re-make”(!!!) (meaning: defile, destroy, desecrate) a beloved childhood tv show. I direct you to this You Tube Video - Shaider: Ang Bloated na Pulis Pangkalawakan – w/c I deem too stinky to post on my blog, if you would like to see the preview (I guarantee, once you’ve seen it, you won’t want to go ever want to do so again). It’s a good thing I no longer live in QC, otherwise I might die of asphyxia every time I pass the GMA Net Building, because gigantic billboards will no doubt be in place to announce the upcoming show (marky cielo??? = shaider???!!!, and if one isn’t enough, they made three!!! protagonists). I forgot to tell you how horribly bloated the costume looks. gag. I heard Toei Japan declined the re-hashed script – w/c no doubt includes an incredibly weepy, Kikay-esque Ani and a “romantic” Alexis (Dai Sawamura) – NOOOOO!!! (thank goodness), and GMA was permitted instead to make a “sequel”.
Sa susunod Maskman, Bioman o Mask Rider Black naman ang maiisipan nilang babuyin! (wag naman sana!)

Pilipino din naman ako at gusto din sanang tangkilikin ang sariling atin pero ang MALI ay MALI pa rin. Kailangan bang gamitan pa ng rally ang GMA para itigil na ni Dominic Zapanta ang pag-rip-off ng mga old classics? And even as a sequel, kinikilabutan pa rin ako dahil the show still “clings” to something it shouldn’t.
And I think GMA didn’t get the message when they were declined. Willing naman ang Toei na ipagamit ang Shaider na character kapag gusto nila ang story. Ang example nito ay ang VR Troopers. Ang alam ko, yung original na costume mismo ang ipinahiram ng Toei sa Saban.
Fan’s here in the Philippines are mild mannered maybe because were patronizing something not our own, but I think the situation calls us all to make the stand here, & now. We need to stop this before a really hardcore fan uses a bomb to blow up someone’s studio.
