true, kapamilya HOME of bitterness and insecurity. haha
pansin ko kc mga kapamilya super insecure at bitter sa success ng THE ROAD.hehe. nakailang horror na kc sila di napansin sa hollywood kaya aun
Wow number 1. mukhang kikita ito ah. ayos yan. at siguradong walng pading ang kita. di tulad ng iba dyan. lagyan ng ading para lang maka-create ng hype ang movie para kumita.. at least sa The Road foreign countries na ang nagpatunay ng galing at ganda ng movie…
Congrats GMA….
accept the fact please.. lets support filipino movies.. wag bitter.. ang mga bitter ang dapat tawaging bobo..
well ang masabi ko lang is malaking goodluck like i wished them the first time, pero anong nangyari?! huwag kasing uunahan nang mahanging press release pumapalpak tuloy! maswerte lang ang director nito kasi kahit papano naka establish nang connection sa US but the result of his debut film na the echo was an abysmal flop. even jesse bradford’s career bumulusok pababa because of that echo something! kung meron man tayong maipagmamalaking pelikula definitely hindi pa ito, kokonti ang market nang horror fanatics sa us unless maganda ang marketing a ang pelikula mismo. so far, kung naging phenomenal sana ito sa pilipinas magiging maganda ang resulta nito sa us but with the lukewarm reception at the local box office… I don’t think so… kaya again malaking goodluck!!!
I’m a kapamilya but I’m proud of this Film. it’s another milestone for the Filipino Film Industry.
Kahapon cla nsa no.1 pro at least, NO.1 cla eh ang abs? Ngkaroon n b ang kapamilya ng entry s Itunes? Ang sagot, NGANGA! At nsa top 3 p rin at least ndi nawawala.
