Damned show's here....

And I thought only Fleur's dad bought an advanced bootleg copy.

It's a hellish, gory ride for a certain audience... but a fairy tale for children below 12 (or so they say). It's a bad B-movie that's practically so bad, it's good. No, it's not the B-movie parody Grindhouse (I want to watch that), it's High. School. Musical. 2.

It's not that my dad actually bought a copy, my brother rented it. But I'll sit through it anyway to give you a review as I promised. (The song "Fabulous" by Ashley Tisdale is hellish... sobra)

HSM2 Survival Guide
DISCLAIMER: Most of the stuff I'm going to mention here are gonna be found in Quiapo. Promise.

OK. So you've gone out of the room infuriated because the family wants to watch High School Musical 2. Well there are lots of other things you can do and here's some recommended stuff:
1.) Watch another movie! And if you want, make it horror. 1408 is a great watch, as well as Disturbia. Or if you want to complement the B-movie qualities of HSM2, maybe you better watch Grindhouse which consists of Planet Terror by Robert Rodriguez and Death Proof by Quentin Tarantino.

2.) Play a First Person Shooter! OK, let's say that you're not much of a fan of the so-called FPS games... If you've got Half-Life 2 or Bioshock just lying around, load it into your computer and imagine the heads of those monsters as, let's say, Ashley Tisdale singing Fabulous. You'll definitely be a hardcore addict after this!

3.) Create your own HSM2 cast in The Sims 2... and fry them because of their inferior cooking skills, drown them in the swimming pool and disable their free will in the process or just type a certain boolProp cheat to make them die!

4.) Photoshop. Ruin an image of Zac "FREAKIN" Efron and put it in your Photobucket gallery. Though it's kinda immature (as well as the Sims 2 and FPS parts), you are a HSM2 hater, right? So why not?

5.) Read a book or sumthin'! Suspense thrillers, fantasy, whatever you want! At this point, I guess you'd do anything to escape HSM2!

If you don't like the first five, I don't think you'd like this last one either:

6.) Look at the stock market and see if Disney's (Stock quote: DIS) stocks are lower. This one is just something you should do if you're an expert in staring at the computer and you've nothing to do at all.

SEPTEMBER: Another month of movie reviewing fun
Now we've bought a lot of DVDs with yet-to-be-released-but-it's-already-DVD-quality movies, it's gonna be another heck of a movie month! I've got The Last Legion, 1408, and lots more. Plus, I'll get to finish Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy (via LimeWire downloads), Heroes and House. Stay tuned.

What I hate to admit about HSM2...

As you apparently know, the hype surrounding High School Musical 2 has heightened and now, Disney Channel has released the single "What Time Is It?" as well as its music video (though there are leaked scenes in the internet).

But admittedly, I think their singing has gotten better... especially Ashley Tisdale's. Which I still hate. Plus, they gay-ified Lucas Grabeel even more! Wala lang.

High School Musical 2 Hate Post!

HSM2: 10 Reasons NOT to watch (no specific order)
1. Just the thought of High School Musical one... and the blueprint it set for this surprisingly lucrative TV movie franchise, will make you wanna barf. The sequel's probably just for the commercial viability anyway.
2. More showtunes! OMG! I'm gonna be named Sir Pukesalot after this.
3. It imparts gay values. Just watching Lucas Grabeel acting gay for the camera is just too much for me to take. I mean, A****w's already gay enough as it is! (Ask everyone in section 5 as well as the transferees from I-5.)
4. More recent Disney Channel Original Movies are corny and sucky unlike past ones.
5. Kenny Ortega directs it again! It's gonna have the same style as the first one!
6. The core story is rather repetitive. It's a talent contest, not a love story.
7. Isn't anyone already sick of the many, many editions of the first HSM? Sing-along edition, Dance edition, and more recently the Concert edition! Heck, the sequel may have the same fate!
8. Isn't the puking already making you sick? LOLOL
9. The target audience, teenagers, won't be affected anyway. Maybe only a select few but not all.
10. It friggin' stars Zac Efron. His face is sickening already!

Ahh finally, all the hate is out of my system... well, not ALL of them. I'll still try to bear the 98 minute showing time so I can review it... and make sure that my reasons for NOT watching High School Musical 2 is given justice. Ugh...
