Sunshine, Magellan, and Sisa were amazing Filipino movies that received wide release and had discounted tickets. But where were youuuu my dear internet cinephiles where were youuuu
Just admit you look down at local movies and we’ll move on.
i know i’m beating the dead horse, but they really missed the opportunity for a limited 8 episode series named after each husband and one titled celia st. james

God, every single line delivery from Emily Blunt is just too good. Scene-stealing without even trying. #TheDevilWearsPrada2

For decades, the MMFF was the "people's festival." It was the one time of year when ordinary workers took their children to the mall to see their idols. But today, a family of four would need at least ₱1,500 just to enter the theater, not including transportation or even a single bag of popcorn.
By pricing the ordinary Filipino out of the theater, the industry hasn't just lost customers, it has lost its soul. Cinema has shifted from a shared national culture to a middle-class privilege.
You cannot promote a "National" Film Festival while maintaining prices that exclude the nation. Until we admit that cinema has become a luxury that the "₱500 Noche Buena" family cannot afford, we are simply watching the slow, expensive sunset of Philippine cinema.
