monday morning, nothing to do, chanced upon river wild showing on hbo. and i was instantly glued to the couch/tv screen. it was a film i've seen so many years ago... roughly more than 10 years ago! i was so young then! it's a good film - heart pumping and adventurous. and i read just now that meryl streep did most of her stunts in that film. amazing actress. if i were trapped in that situation? what would i have done? sus... parang ang lakas ko e no!
speaking of ages ago, i recall this was one of the films i've seen on laser disc pa! it was the hype after the betamax and vhs eras. according to wikipedia, "The laserdisc (LD) was the first commercial optical disc storage medium, and is used primarily for the presentation of movies." ok very informative hahaha! well, i remember it looked like a compact disk, only it wasn't compact! LOL! actually it was about a foot in diameter! geez! this medium was gigantic! and the only laserdisc rental place i know back then was in makati cinema square! and papa would bring home these square silver plastic bags that contained the dozens of laser discs he rented from that shop. was it apple or the logo was apple? something like that...
my father was an advocate of home-viewing and super loud sound systems. the funny thing is, our neighborhood is infested by millions of tricycles and i swear, when we're viewing a film at home, you could forget about the irritating tricycle sounds! my papa's sound system could be heard even from a good distance hahaha!
