Review: The Green Hornet [Part 1]

Thanks to Krispy Kreme and Discovery Channel, Comicgasm editors Ade & RJ were invited to an exclusive screening of The Green Hornet. Yes, these two idiots get invited to events now. We’re more surprised at the fact that people still actually bother to read this blog. Anyway, here’s what the Comicgasm crew thought of the Michel Gondry and Seth Rogen superhero flick.

WARNING: This review contains SPOILERS.

Ade: They gave away free donuts! How did you find them? These particular Green Hornet-themed donuts aren’t my thing, but I met a few people raving about them. Original Glazed is still my favorite Krispy Kreme donut.

RJ: They kinda taste like kiddie bubblegum-flavored toothpaste, so it had a nostalgic feel to it. I like how it’s not too sweet, unlike their usual donuts. They even gave freebies like hats and green glasses!

Ade: Also, they gave away Mythbusters DVDs! Really excited to break them out. Thanks, Discovery!

RJ: Oh, speaking of Mythbusters, the Green Hornet Special has Seth Rogen in it! Can’t wait till it airs 8pm on Friday, January 28, on Discovery Channel. There are already torrents out but eh, I’ll catch it on cable.

Ade: Okay, onto the film! Here’s a little confession I have to make: I kept my expectations pretty low. I mean, I like Seth Rogen, I like Michel Gondry, but they’re not the first two people I think of when you say “superhero film.” I was pleasantly surprised though – the movie was better than expected.

And Just Like That, it’s 2011

Somehow it still hasn’t sunk in that we’ve gone by another decade so fast and we’re just a year away before the North and South Poles reverse and John Cusack tries to find the most convoluted route to China, but here it is. 2011 is here. I’d like to say that I wish this new year isn’t going to be as bad as the previous one, but come on guys, I don’t think there’s a worse year in recent memory than 2009. I mean, come on, fucking Ondoy ruined our shit that year. But I digress. Anyway, 2010 is over and now that 2011 is here, I… don’t know what to do. Huh.

In fact, I don’t even know what to write about in this entry. I’d like to regale you with exciting, riveting tales of how I managed to look for a topic for this blog post and how hard it is to write when I have loads of shit to do on top of this, but the excitement might be too much for you and you’d end up pissing your pants or something. So let me just tell you, in bullet points, what happened to me as 2010 was closing. Read More »

It’s Christmas Eve!

I might be totally busy tomorrow, when it’s actually really Christmas, to be able to write a blog entry greeting you all. So here we go. I just want to greet everyone a Merry Christmas before I get too busy and forget about you all. I am so tempted to post that horrible 1:43 song – you know, Merry Christmas Na, as a gift for you all, but it’s been overdone to death already. So my gift for you all is to not post that 1:43 song.

I know I’ve had a bit of trouble getting the Christmas spirit this year, but somehow it’s all been taken care of now. I don’t know exactly what I did, but I’m sure it involved a lot of alcohol, a trench coat, and a bunch of screaming women, and somebody uploading the resulting hilarious/horrible video to a Cheap Web Hosting account.

Bah, Humbug: In This Post Ade Tries to Get the Christmas Spirit Back

I used to love Christmas. Really. I don’t think anyone reading this blog would disagree with me if I immediately assume that we all have fond childhood memories of Christmas. I mean endless food, gifts, family get-togethers – what is there to not like about Christmas? Sadly though, my enthusiasm for this whole Christmas thing slowly began to wane as I got older.


Like this guy.

I still have no idea why – maybe it has something to do with growing old, or the fact that this time I have to be the one giving gifts. I’m pretty sure it also has something to do with the mental image of a huge and overweight 27-year old guy running around gleefully, opening gifts with a huge grin on his face – that shit is traumatizing, probably because I imagined myself doing that.

Philippine Blog Awards 2010! Huzzah!

Hey guys, remember last year’s Philippine Blog Awards and how I made it into the finals for Best Humor Blog? Apparently I must be doing something right with this blog because I ended up as a finalist, again, for this year’s Humor category!

Anyway, I’m really not expecting to win again this year. Have you seen those blogs I’m up against? They’re good. Just look at Gagong Kasabihan, Kwentong Barbero, The Professional Heckler (who won last year’s Humor category) and The Googly Gooeys.

  • Hi, I’m Ade…

    ...and I don't know what I'm doing here.

    Oh, wait, this is a humor blog. I blog here. Yes, folks, I am , blogger extraordinaire. I write about deep and introspective stuff, like dick jokes, the size of the gazongas of that girl two feet away from me, my band that nobody cares to listen to, and how stupid the traffic is today on the way to work. Exciting, life-changing stuff!

    No, really, please stick around. I need new friends.
