Movie Trivias

The movie was shot in black and white even when colored films were all the rage, and the make-up that was used by the major characters (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) made their faces look green. Marilyn was undergoing rough times and scenes required so many takes (a maximum of 40 at the most) frustration may have had some lines dubbed over for the final cut of the film. The proposal scene caused a preview audience to erupt in uncontrollable laughter that it had to be re-shot for most of the spoken dialogue ended up being missed. Marilyn was pregnant during the making of the film which made her look heavy. Most still photos used for promotional materials had her stand in do the pose with Marilyn’s face superimposed later before publishing.

Anime fanatics gone “banzai!” as a new piece of Shojo anime masterpiece just reached Philippine T.V.’s shores and is currently a hit among otakus. It is a crazy mix of romance, comedy, friendship and pure hardcore silliness that will surely tickle the anime-lover kid in you.

The story revolves around Sunako Nakahara, a not-so-typical female protagonist that is actually a fan of the dark and creepy things instead of the usual sweet and fair stuff you see in most stories. That’s twist enough but there’s more: she actually has to live in a big mansion with four super handsome guys until she becomes a “real” lady.

Yes it sounds as if it’ll be super romantic and all, but believe me, it’s more of light, innocent fun than whatever you’re probably thinking of. Actually, it’s stress-relieving to watch, take me for my word.

It’s now airing at TV5 every Mondays to Thursdays at 6:30 pm and every Saturdays and Sundays at 5:00-6:00 pm. Try and watch it!

The movie is known by all who have been around in the 80’s when interest in UFO’s and other space phenomenon were experiencing a revival. There are a couple of facts that are quite intriguing in the film like the fact Director Spielberg wrote the script during breaks from shooting Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford was also in the film as the school principal but was cut out during editing due to his “distracting” trait maybe because he is one of the hottest male stars with Star Wars and Indiana Jones. ET’s communicator device was an actual scientifically based gadget made by a communications scientist. Yoda, the last Jedi of the Old order in Star Wars made an appearance in the Halloween scene, music from Star Wars Episode V was also heard which was released in 1980.
