Okay. I just read the artikulo myself out of undying curiosity (click link to read it yourself), and I have to say . . . I'm laughing my tail feathers off. This is what I would say if I had the opportunity to talk to this guy.

Ms, Inkoo Kang,

Your "review"—if you can call it that—on the upcoming Penguins of Madagascar movie is laughable. This so-called review delves too much into your interpretation of everything about the movie that was wrong, give or take that one statement about almost enjoying that one chase scene. If you wanted to give a proper review, you should've first ibingiay much madami information on how the movie could've been improved and WHY the points you mentioned were wrong, rather than just stating WHAT was wrong. You want to talk big words and over-analyzing faults? Try this on, Ms. Inkoo Kang.

You have focused too much on the film's faults, giving only one side to your argument. To provide a solid and sound argument, one must point out why the other side to the argument is wrong. Allow me to demonstrate.

You claim the penguins are "unfunny, unmoving, and uninspired," but you never explained why you think so. I'll have you know many think the penguins are funny at least at times. Whether it's a one-liner ("We killed 'em and ate their livers.") or it's just an action (Come on, the penguins playing at the train controls in the third film was a little funny. Just a little.), there's at least one thing the penguins have done to make someone laugh. Even if they haven't for you, doesn't mean they're necessarily "unfunny." You just have a different sense of humor, I presume.

As far as "unmoving," I admit the penguins haven't had many "moving" moments in the "Madagascar" trilogy. However, as far as the trailers go, you have to admit, Skipper bringing the young hatchling (Private) into his brotherhood was just a little moving. Of course, I wouldn't know this until I watched the movie, especially since you didn't explain why you felt it was unmoving yourself.

"Uninspired"? Do you know not the meaning? Inspired; adjective: aroused, animated, or imbued with the spirit to do something, sa pamamagitan ng or as if sa pamamagitan ng supernatural or divine influence (dictionary.reference.com). What makes you think the movie is uninspired? I'm thinking it might be inspired to, I don't know, make people laugh. There's probably some better message in the movie as well, since, from what I've seen from DreamWorks, there always is if you think hard enough. I have yet to figure out what it is myself, since I obviously haven't seen it, but I'm sure I can come up with something. My guess is that it'd be along the lines of brotherhood or something, but I don't know yet.

Speaking of, you say the film has a "distinct lack of purpose." Which pelikula do you think has a purpose? It would have been absolutely fantastic for you to have ibingiay us some examples for why you believe the movie has no purpose (you have a right to uphold your opinion, but you have to support it if you want others to agree with you). Furthermore, what would've ibingiay the movie purpose for you? Your thoughts on that would've been nice. You also mentioned that the movie "caters to an audience that doesn't exist" because of the references not many people would get. How would you know that? My best friend is a tagahanga of a ipakita I've never even heard of until he told me he liked it. How do you know no one will understand those references? While many people will not, it still brings a smile to the face of those who would get that reference. Additionally, the movie may still bring a smile to the face of the unknowing "eight-year-olds" because I would imagine it still has funny moments. Even if they don't get a reference, doesn't mean they won't find it funny (I've found references funny without fully understanding them. I know I'm not the only one). I realize I'm ignorant to if these references will be funny or not, but then again, not everyone has the same sense of humor as I.

You sinabi that there "isn't much to the film's story, yet it's stuffed to the gills with plot." If there's one thing I've noticed about DreamWork's films, it's that it's never just a story. The "Madagascar" trilogy relays the message that tahanan isn't where you are, but who you're with. "Shrek" is a story about acceptance, correlating to the idea that everyone's different, and that's okay, and you have to accept yourself and others to truly be happy. "Kung Fu Panda" sends a message in that to accomplish anything, you have to first believe in yourself ("There is no secret ingredient"). It all starts with you. Even if this movie is an exception to this idea, it would be really awesome if you would've explained why you feel that way.

You mentioned that Dave's character is basically ruined because of his humor. Last time I checked, audiences pag-ibig a villain with a little humorous side. A villain that's too dark wouldn't appeal to younger audiences anyway (ooh, that reminds me of your "point" made earlier. hm . . .).

First and foremost about your thoughts on North Wind, it's a SEAL, not an OTTER. If you don't know the facts before you propose an argument, then you've basically ruined any chance of gaining support because people will believe you have no idea what you're talking about. Second, what makes you think Eva's only purpose is to be sexy? How do you know they're not also relaying the idea that women can be intelligent as well? Not to mention that from what I've seen in the trailers, Kowalski is the only one falling for her. You could've at least explained why it seemed that way to you.

The following paragraph is merely just my opinion of your argument about Classified, and has nothing to do about how you presented it. I must say, I do partially agree with your argument about the pompous Agent Classified, but I think it's pretty awesome that Skipper has someone in his same covert classification to be compared to, causing a humorous clash between the duo. And I believe he wants a little madami than just "taking the credit." How do you know he just doesn't want mga hayop to be safe? How do you know he doesn't want some credit because he feels as though he needs the support from his team? Meaning, if he doesn't seem as though he made a success conceived with his help, he won't seem as important, and North Wind will see him as a failure? You'd be surprised what insecurity can drive someone to do. Of course, that is only my opinion, and I would not know until I watched the movie to make my own interpretation.

I have no problem if you like the movie or not. But if you're going to post a review for the whole world to see, DO IT RIGHT.

Now, did you see how I presented my counter-argument? I used examples from the trailers, and even other pelikula to present my case. I also mentioned your side of the argument to help ipakita a contrast between my and your opinion, as to allow my readers to make up their own minds, rather than present one side and BOMBARD them with my opinion, presenting it as if it were solid fact. Your very vague descriptions of your opinions don't exactly tell anyone why they shouldn't watch it. All I see is, "Don't watch it because it's bad." If you would've just explained why it's bad, then you would've done just fine, and I wouldn't have sinabi a word.

Lots of love, peacebaby7

To the fanguins, the main reason I wrote this is to make those who found the "review" unsettling realize how overly-critical this artikulo was. Based on the few comments on her review, I see I'm not the only one who feels that her review could've been a lot better. I was not judging the fact that she didn't like the movie, but rather that she just needs to put madami thought into her reviews. Your thoughts on my thoughts on her thoughts?
Note: This is not the final chapter. There's going to be one or maybe a couple more. I hope I get madami comments this time, because last time I didn't get as many comments as anticiapated. Please, comment, if you wish, you don't have to, though.

The susunod araw Skipper went fishing again, and Private was alone. Private took the diary and tried to take off from where he had left off.
Dear Diary,
It is the araw before the wedding.

No that wasn't it. He finally reached it.

Damion's eyes were as wide as his jaw that had dropped in terror. His tight gripp loosened until Private fell to the icy ground.
D: "Dad! Dad!"
Damion fled like a coward, but Private couldn't blame him. Jeff raced up and they both ran for their lives.
A: "Private, are you okay?!"
She pushed through the paniced crowd to Private, but she still couldn't reach him. All she could do was watch in terror as he laid on the ground getting trampled sa pamamagitan ng the absentminded, frightened crowd.
S: "Private?! Private?!"
Private got on his flippers, but struggled to get to his feet. Then he heard her angelic voice,...

As the figure got closer Private shut his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Skipper emerged out of the fog and rushed to Private's side.
S: "Private! Private, wake up! Please speak to me!"
Skipper put his head to Private's ice cold chest. A faint heartbeat caught his attention. His raced through the treacherous blizzard. He concluded his sprint when they reached a cave. Skipper held Private tight in his trembling flippers. He strode deeper into the cave with Private in his grasp firmly. Even though the immense cave seemed dank and mysterious, Skipper felt comfortable in it. After all, this was...

Skipper picked up four meduim sized fish. Once again he was interupted sa pamamagitan ng panic. Kowalski's screams echoed through the whole manor.
S: "Kowalski?!"
Skipper darted up the stairs and to the main room where Kowalski was sitting in his chair with his head on the table. He also had his eyes closed.
S: "Kowalski what's wrong!?"
Kowaski woke up and stopped screaming but looked terrified.
K: "I had a dream th-that I chopped all of you into little pieces!"

They tired and hungry, especially the lemurs who weren't used to walking so long.
Ma: "I'm beat. Can we stop for the night."
K: "Negative,"
The whole team was yawning. It was apparent they all needed rest.

---Factory---
It was dead silent for awhile.
P: "Help! Please some one!"
N: "I don't think anyone can hear you from in here, Private."
Private noticed Skipper groaning.
P: "Skipper, are you sure you're okay?"
S: "I have a major headache,"
N: "Wait, Skipper, did you say you were tired and dizzy before?"
S: "Yes, but why does that matter?"
N: "Did you get hit on your head?"
S: "Yeah, matter of fact I lost...

Chapter 3
Meanwhile, back at the lemur habitat
   Julien kept tossing and turning as he slept. He was having a nightmare, but it started out as a great dream. Julien was laughing as he ran through a familiar part of Madagascar. He was having fun exploring and partying with his subjects. All of his subjects cheered as he danced to the beat. He encouraged everyone else to dance with him. Julien watched as the other lemurs started to dance as well, except for one young male ruffed lemur who sat under the darkness of a tree. His body was white. He has patches of black on his tail, paws, hips, face,...

Kowalski: Wait, I think I can explain.
Blowhole: It will be extremely lame.
Kowalski: Do you mind? This is science.
Blowhole: It's a kind of weird alliance.
Kowalski: Yes! Take my experimental power cell.
Blowhole: Add the diaboligizer's evil spell.
Kowalski: Plus Julien's MP3 player
Blowhole: The combo that makes this musical slayer.

Blowhole and Kowalski: Now everybody sing! Everybody sing! Everybody has to sing. You don't have a choice, but to modulate your voice, because everybody must sing.

“Ah huh, Bingo!” Kowalski sinabi proudly.

“What is it Kowalski?” Skipper asked as he moves near Kowalski.

“I have completed my energy converter and it’s now ready for action” Kowalski said.

“So what does it do? I hope this gotta be good” Skipper crossed his flippers

“It will convert negative energy to positive energy and vice versa” Kowalski replied.

“Okay, now explain it in English, less brainiac” Skipper sinabi sarcastically.

“This thing can convert evil things to goodness” Kowalski explained.

“And?” Skipper asked thinking that this device might also have a negative...

Skipper couldn't really describe it, the car crashing into him, he didn't feel much, all he could describe the feeling as being: "Like a cork popping out of a wine bottle". He looked around and all he saw were cars zooming across the road, then realized his team was gone, he walked around endlessly. "Well it seems we got separated sa pamamagitan ng that bump," sinabi Skipper. "Gotta get back to the HQ, they're probably worried to death about me," sinabi Skipper. Skipper then looked around and saw a map on the ground, he picked it up and looked at the kalye he was at. "Ah, just 2 miles away, not very far at all,"...

Kowalski unlocked the doors and Lilly jumped into the front seat. "Hey. Ready to go?" Lilly asked, waving goodbye to her mother. Kowalski nodded his head and drove off to their destination.

"Kowalski. When can I take this blindfold off?" Lilly asked, touching the blue cloth on her eyes. "Now." Kowalski replied. Parking the car. Lilly removed the blindfold from her eyes and saw a large gray building with a big blue model earth on top. "Is this the.." "Yeah! The science center!" Kowalski exclaimed, bouncing with excitment....

The Truth, Lies, and Doris - A Dorski tagahanga fiction: Part 3 - Fierce Bargain

    Kowalski felt as if he were floating in space. Probably because he was tied and hanging upside down from a hook on the ceiling. The blood had all rushed to his head, making his reactions slow and dazed. Waking up from his unconscious dreams, Kowalski made out a blurry figure, in the shape of a dolphin.
    "Well peng-u-in! I see you fell for my carefully planned trap!" Dr. Blowhole said.
    The sun from the a very small window on the roof came down and illuminated...

Yup. I have officially Nawawala interest of POM. I can't really explain it - I've outgrown it.


My paborito shows have always been adult FBI action shows. Such as Fringe, Bones, and Criminal Minds. If you like POM and other child friendly shows, then I suggest you don't check these out.


I also pag-ibig comedy. But adult comedy. I've liked it since the 5th grade when I barely understood most of the jokes (I didn't get most of the jokes until the 6th grade). Its always appealed to me and I've outgrown cartoons at around the age of 11. I would probably still pag-ibig them if they replaced the basura we see on...

TDH: this is a remake to the movie with the same title. The character's personalities may be somewhat altered to fit the characters from the movie. Please read and review. Rated T for sexuality and some language.


Narrator: This is a story of Boy meets Girl.

The boy, Kowalski, grew up thinking he'd never truly be happy until the araw he met The One. This belief stands from early exposure to Skipper's hard training and being cooped up in his lab making recipes for disaster.

The girl, Summer, did not share this belief. Since the separation from her family, she only loved two things. The first was her long feathery hair. The segundo was how easily she could cut it off, and feel nothing.

Kowalski meets Summer on January 8th. He knows almost immediately, she is who he's been searching for.

This is a story of Boy meets Girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a pag-ibig story.
This is one looong chapter. XD
And it has me in it! :3
Seriously. Long chapter. Find time to read it. XD

______________________________

Chapter 1: For starters

Monday. 10:03 a.m.

It was a warm breezy araw in the buwan of May (Hey, that rhymed!). The penguins were lying around the HQ, bored. Their training was done for the day, sooner then Skipper expected.

Kowalski was mixing different chemicals at one corner of the room, hoping to discover something out of the blue. Rico was just brushing his doll girlfriend's plastic hair...for 52 minutos straight. Private was watching TV, changing the channels...

Four penguins of the New York Central Park Zoo were preparing for Christmas.

Skipper told him: "Private, you must understand, this ibong dagat HQ does not believe in Santa Clause. He's just a fat man who was originally a Hobo and was thrown into the North Pole where he found Reindeers that are...
