questions i've been hesitating to ask ...

1. can i bring food for everyone? because it's nice to share food on a free event.
2. can i bring my non-punk friend? because it's nice to see 'new' reactions/comments.
3. can i donate OR pay any amount that i can? because it's the least i can do to 'help/assist' the organizers and i do this everyday whether i ride a jeep or get food. i open up my wallet, get P20 or somethin'. very easy.
4. can i write down my questions on a piece of paper & share my disagreements, my own point of view, my comments? that way i can feel that i'm a part of a community that values my own personality/hangups/shits rather than be 'dragged/drugged' into a 'sheep-role' of 'peer pressure' of being 'punk'.
5. can i meet new friends? coz all my friends have been 'snatched' by society's invincible force.

ohhh. i've tons of questions i ask myself. sometimes if it ain't worth going to an event, i don't. sleeping is way healthier. but sometimes, just sometimes, i need an excuse to drink a beer or feel angry again. just sometimes...

tanong lang po para hindi rin ako lost pagdating sa venue at makasali rin sa magging talakayan.
1. tungkol saan ko ba itong DREAMWORLDS3?
2. pwede nyo ba kaming bigyan ng kaunting background ng pelikula?
3. ang 9mile bar po ay nagbebenta ng bisyo tulad ng yosi at alak, kung ito po ay strict enforcement sa "no smoking policy", me mga guardya po ba tayo na mag-iimplementa nito?

maraming salamat at mabuhay ang kolektibang nag-initiate nito.

JB, kung galing ka mismo ng Quezon ave. sakay ka na lang nung jeepney na may signboard na Proj. 2,3. then sabihin mo ibaba ka sa may intersection ng Kamias at Kalayaan ave. (landmark ay 2 gasoline station na magkatapat sa left side mo). lakarin mo lang yun Kalayaan ave. at makikita mo yun in about 2 to 3 mins walk from the intersection,
eto mapa mismo ng 9 mile bar:

post lang kayo dito kung may mga tanong pa kayo.
salamat at kita-kits! I love you

suggestion lang.
it would be a big help if the organizers tell us a bit about the film.
mahirap mag invite kung itatanong sayo kung tungkol saan yung film at wala masagot.

all i could say is it's a film showing with discussions and a couple of bands playing in between breaks.

salamat.

DREAMWORLDS - A Post-Apocalypse Classic : A film review by Allan Toombs.

DREAMWORLDS has suffered some very poor press recently. It seems journalists can't resist reference to its cost and many professional reviewers reveal that either they failed to watch the entire movie (lazy fools they're paid to do this!) or low IQs. DREAMWORLD rises head and shoulders above the recent crop of action based blockbusters. Batman Forever and Judge Dredd merely offer a distorted mirror view of our crime-ridden urban society whereas WATERWORLD carefully constructs a scenario where the rules of survival are very different.

Kevin Costner's character, known in true Campbellian-hero style only as "The Mariner," is the perfect survival machine for this all-water environment. He processes his own urine for the water content (not as some reports state "drinks his own piss") and the film opens rather daringly with a back-shot of Costner quite obviously peeing into a container. As a drifter he pilots a trimaran and trades anything the sea gives up to him. One of the director's real coups here is to make a yacht chase as thoroughly dynamic on film as any speed boat race. Indeed a basic juxtaposition of the film is sail power versus petrol burning craft. The (for want of a better term) baddies are called "Smokers" since they eschew windpower and as their leader Deacon (Dennis Hopper) dispenses an endless supply of cigarettes (not a comforting film for the pro-tobacco lobby this as the Smokers are crude and stupid villains). In this respect the film is far clearer than the comparable MAD MAX II where both sides are fighting over and using oil, yet a world oil-disaster is the cause of their apocalypse.

At one point in DREAMWORLD there is a moment of pure surrealism as "Peter Gunn" is played and Hopper and his cronies are pushed around in the wheeless shell of an automobile. This underlines the totality of the water shooting throughout the film. As you assume the mindset of a water-bound existence areas of pseudo-solid ground become surprisingly anachronistic and by the end of the movie when the legendary "dryland" is found I viewed our world of greenery and wildlife in a new light of enhanced beauty.

This film definitely follows the currently dominant 3-Act plotting model and divides thus: In Act 1 the Mariner arrives at the Atoll and attempts trade but is captured for being a mutant. As he is being slowly put to death there is a mass Smoker attack which successfully breaches the drift-peoples defenses. In the ensuing mayhem Costner accepts heroine Helen's bargain to provide escape for her and the mysterious girlchild Enola.

In Act 3 Costner rescues Tina Majorino's little girl from Hoppers stronghold and because of this he and the remaining drift-people find dryland, although the Mariner chooses to return to the sea.

It is Act 2 which distinguishes DREAMWORLD from the its fellow action adventures such as MAD MAX III; BEYOND THUNDERDOME. There is a biting sexual tension between Kevin Costner and Jeanne Tripplehorn that electrifies the screen, her sudden disrobement amidst the emptiness of the ocean is as astonishing as his rejection of her. As my partner Jackie put it "Kevin Costner beating up women and little girls!" Portrayed is no ordinary hero but a brutalised man stripped of any culture by the need to survive. Costner takes his anti-hero further even than Mel Gibson's portrayal in MAD MAX II and I started to wonder if there was a misogynist subtext to DREAMWORLD. Maybe "a man's best friend is his boat and there ain't no woman good enough for him" was the film's message? Thankfully this was not so and the Mariner turns out to be waiting for real love rather than the ancient bargain of sex for shelter. A thoroughly un-feminist middle then, as Tripplehorn has nowhere to turn within the claustrophobic confines of the small boat. The destruction of Costner's gimmick-rigged trimaran marks the end of this mid-section and amidst the wreckage left by Hopper's ambush and abduction of the girlchild our antagonistic couple finally make-love simply because there is no reason not to do so.

DREAMWORLD is quite a long movie (120 minutes) and it would have been tempting for the production team to make cuts in this middle chapter. Thankfully if there were any cuts made they were from the Mariner's commando style entry of the Smokers' stronghold (the revelation of which is one of the films most breathtaking moments and explains sloppy-criticisms of "where does the fuel for the jet-skis come from" (Kaleidoscope--shame on you Radio Four)). This sequence is given a strange narrative air by Majorino telling the Smoker second in command how "he (The Mariner) has killed lots of people (as Costner silently dispatches some guards) and he is going to rescue me." She announces this as if it was free-form verse and the stealthy fight-action gains a bizarre poetic edge.

Finally DREAMWORLD boasts a frisson as moving and yet less sensationalistic than PLANET OF THE APES's Statue of Liberty buried on the beach moment. When we descend beneath the waves we are taken through the watery remains of a modern city we feel not only the shock of seeing our civilisation in ruins but Tripplehorn's character's despair that Costner has no source of soil from dryland only what he salvages. To me this underlines the emotional surety of the film as well as its highly involving projection of the future. Like SEVEN SAMURAI you are left wanting more, wondering where the Mariner will go next and what he will find alone out on the ocean.

The future has arrived, and it brings a world composed entirely of water, due to the melting of the polar ice caps. In this desperate society one must distill one's own urine for drinking water, and land is only a myth people dream of. Roaming the high seas is the Mariner, a surly, selfish man/fish mutant with no name. But his loner existence changes when a woman named Helen and an orphaned girl named Enola save his life, and the Mariner reluctantly agrees to take them along with him. At first the Mariner has a rocky relationship with his two passengers; then he realizes that the tattoo on Enola's back is a map leading to the never-seen "Dryland". But as the trio struggles to decipher the map, they must also try to escape a band of filthy, reckless thugs known as "Smokers", led by the maniacal, one-eyed Deacon. Then the Smokers kidnap Enola, turning the Mariner into a one-man killing machine desperate to rescue his human map. And only if he succeeds will they ever know the feel of solid ground beneath their feet.
cheers
