The other night, I went to watch 30 Days of Night with my sibs. I thought this was a nice movie. I liked 28 days and 28 days later. I liked the Blade series. I liked Interview with the Vampire, Underworld and other vampire movies, campy or not.
But this one just tops my list... as the worst. Like I said in the title, I will not review this movie. So instead, I will just skew this entry to post a question.
Barrows, Alaska happens to be the farthest town on Earth. It's 80 miles away from Anchorage (I think) and there're no roads or highways to get around. Meaning, it's a dismal isolation from the town proper. And every year, during winter, they have 30 days of night. It's one of this earth eerie phenomenon. Well not really since the world rotates and the sun at one point will really not shine on this part of the arctic.
Anyway, if it happened here in Manila, what would you do for 30 days of night? Here are some thoughts i have if this really happened:
1. crime rate would go up: it's a fact that most crimes happen when it's dark.
2. Baby boom: like in any sleepy province, babies abound. When night falls, suddenly people are in the mood for lovemaking.
3. Tim Yap would have more parties to cover. And Tessa more parties to attend.
4. We would have a countdown?
try to add something more. keep it cheeky.
PS: The movie never really explained what people did during 30 days of night. It just showed 6-7 people running away from vampires. What's also strange is that the lead's hair and make up never got ugly or anything despite the cold weather. And that they never really changed clothes nor brushed their teeth during 30 days. Sabagay, they didn't even explain how those vampires got there, nor why they just suddenly vanished when their leader was vanquished. Maryo J. might have better explanation since he too was in the audience. Maryo J, if you're reading this, please? hehe
