Here’s what’s keeping the tsismis reporters busy these days. The “Who-Texted-Who-First Brouhaha” starring Shaina and Ruffa. The “Missing 5 Million Peso Bank Account Scandal” with Raymart and Claudine. Andi and The Baby Daddy. The KC-Piolo split. The Revilla Siblings Murder Mystery. The Killing of Charice’s Father with Hurtful Banter and Tweets Exchange.
None of which are of any help to the movie industry. The first four are just laundryshop gossip and are of no importance to people with at least half a brain. The last two are major news because it involved crime, but still has nothing to do with improving the Filipino people’s taste in their entertainment choices.
It’s a pity that the mainstream entertainment media is focusing too much on crime and tsismis. How about giving some time and space to more important stuff that will help raise the bar of local entertainment and elevate the people’s taste in watching movies? Like the Cinema One Originals AND Cinemalaya.
These are festivals of movies minus the formulas. The stars are not as big as the usual faces that you see sing and dance like retarded zombies on the Sunday noontime shows but the stories promise to be of more substance than a Star Cinema movie.
But that is not what the people want? Then teach them to want it. Think of Steve Jobs. He just happened to create something that people never thought they would want or need. You know, the iPad?
