Movies in the Philippines
I think one thing Filipinos can appreciate is how cheap our movies are here, compared to first-world countries (i.e. USA, Japan). There, a ticket costs around P500 ($10.00). Here, it's one tenth of that price. Sure, the theater might not be that great (if you want reserved seats and THX, the price doubles) and you're always at risk from the censorship of the MTRCB (strangely enough, our TV censorship is more lenient compared to the US) but overall, it's a cheaper experience. And besides, it's only probably here that the crowd finds sexual innunedo among the male cast of Lord of the Rings.
Speaking of Lord of the Rings, just found out that Return of the King won't be showing in Japan until late February (and you thought the Manila Film Fest was horrible).
Kill Bill, on the other hand, will finally see the light of day in January (one month before part 2 releases in the states).
