Legendary

Well, it looks like Injustice won’t be the only thing keeping me busy on my mobile. This RPG looks like it will also be awesome. Pre-register now, darlings, for iOS and Android! Striker Wondie will be yours at launch.
Hang In There

Happy Hump Day! Just a little more, bite into that pencil, beat the impatience, and we’ll be that much closer to the weekend.
And that is always an exciting thought!
Stick To What You Know
by allancarreon on Oct.11, 2016, under My Life, Society
If you want to be a propaganda machine pretending to be knowledgeable about things that you have no idea about, I suggest you either do your research to get your facts right or else just stick to what you know (which is obviously minimal).
Josephine and Friends
by allancarreon on Oct.10, 2016, under Music & Theater
So because I enjoyed Ako Si Josephine so much, I had to watch it a second time, which is typical of me. Watching it again most definitely did not diminish the awesomeness of the unique production.
In fact, the rewatch enhanced it – and given that it was also the final show of the run, there were a few added surprises (such as Yeng Constantino appearing during curtain call with a special song number).
The review I wrote for the show the first time I watched it largely focused on the story / material itself – on its subversive nature and how relevant it is given the current socio-political climate of the country. Now, I’d like to give the production itself, along with its cast, the recognition it deserves.
The Lennon Legacy
by allancarreon on Oct.09, 2016, under Music & Theater
Now while I of course will always remember Nicky Byrne’s birthday first and foremost, and while I still much prefer Jim Morrison over-all in terms of music, poetry, and artistry, and while Ringo will always be my favorite Beatle, we cannot deny the greatness and legend of John Lennon.
In many ways, and just in my opinion, he was the primary force behind the Beatles (sorry, Paul). His work, both with the group and as a solo artist, revealed a true master of music and social commentary, one whose influence remains to this d ay. He was controversial, a divisive figure whose statements were rarely tame (yet always thought-provoking).
In the end, he rightfully became an icon.
Byrne, Baby, Byrne.

Anyone who has known me for a long time would know that, despite all the celebrities I totally admire and crush on, it will always boil down to just one person at the top.
Westlife’s Nicky Byrne.
Yes, even up to now, approximately seventeen years later.
No, he may not be the hottest.
He may not have been the best singer in Westlife nor the best soccer player prior to his career in show business.
However, there’s just something about Nicky that will always make him tops in my book.
Dress Your Saturday Up
by allancarreon on Oct.08, 2016, under Film & TV, Music & Theater
Here’s a little throwback to when two of my favorite women in the world got together just to mess around and have some fun. When two influential and powerful ladies just let their hair down and do this, you know that despite the troubles, all will be right in this world.
Enjoy your Saturday, darlings. Make sure you get some of those velvety kisses along the way.
Welcome to the Jungle
by allancarreon on Oct.07, 2016, under Film & TV, Geeky
Because I’m ready for another awesome year of DC TV.
The new seasons of Arrow and Flash premiered earlier this week, while Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow return next week. (Someone please bring Constantine back for Fridays!)
It really is a great time to be a DC fan.
Absolutely Golden
by allancarreon on Oct.06, 2016, under Film & TV
So it turns out that this year’s New York Comic Con, which begins today, will have something that I (and several other friends) would surely want to have: exclusive Golden Girls action figures.
For some reason, and whatever it is I’m thankful for it, Golden Girls merchandise have been gaining popularity in the past few years. From shirts to candles to bobble-heads, the classic sitcom seems to either be regaining a new fanbase more than twenty years after it ended or else its legion of fans (most of whom I assume would be in their late 30s and older) have been getting nostalgic.
Aquaman is a distraction.
