It isn't a tiny loud minority. The reason businesses are falling over themselves to be ...

The lawsuit is inherently political. The accusation is that Gina was fired for expressing her political views -- the heart of the case is the claim that liberal companies are censoring conservative viewpoints. Aside from getting into technical legal arguments about when something is and is not 'cens...

There was another period in which this stuff happened - when the religious right controlled everything and booted people for ideas. The left's response (speaking as an old lefty) was to fight this, call it out, say it was unfair. That you shouldn't have to pass a McCarthy purity test to work somewh...

Gina wasn't censored. Gov'ts censor.

In fact, a lot of what I've seen of Filipino superhero content looks like everything takes place in smaller villages. So it kind of feels like the stakes are lowered a bit. I wonder why they don't film amongst the crowded urban environment of Manila? Warehouses and back alleys and corporate offices...

I am wondering how he can do this. I have seen the episode on PBS when they were the one showing it. The only thing worth seeing is the first episode. Regardless of whether his claim is valid (and pretty much everyone who knows about the history of the show say it really isn't valid), he's able to ...

You can cross An Unearthly Child off the list. The rights to those four episodes are being held to ransom by the writer's son. Lost me at "angry at black people". Well basically the episodes we're talking about are from 1963. The man who wrote them, Anthony Coburn, I think died in the 197...

On the other hand, Darna 2005, in good quality, not really easy (and I really prefer that one to the 2009 version) :confused: The annoying thing is that the Darna 2005 videos circulating online come from a source who's a really good online friend of mine, and possibly a friend of a few people here ...

In other news, ABS-CBN is now collaborating with GMA. Having lost their franchise, they are shifting to providing content, and a few ABS-CBN productions are now being shown on GMA. Since ABS-CBN currently holds the rights to Darna, I hope this collaboration turns out to be beneficial for us, and so...

The guy who runs the Darna FB group seems to have a copy of Elektrika Kasi Eh! And based on some samples he shared, it's in good shape, too! I hope he considers sharing or selling.

Come with me on a journey into the past... back... back... back... to the late 1970s. It was a simpler time. A more innocent time. DC had yet to go through a googillion reboots and reinventions, so its multiverse structure was still understandable by people devoid of a PhD. Comics were yet to become...

So I happened to stumble upon this show from 2018 today... :D It's a movie about a magical bra that turns anyone who wears it into a beautiful superhero. There's no actual superhero action, just comedy about the homely woman who inherits the bra using it to attract a man she's mad about. Kind of li...

Episode 127- Valentina holds Darna in the air in a bite-hold/chokehold, but when her snake comes into contact with Darna's neck, for some reason she starts sensing flashbacks to when Narda's mother was incinerated and when Narda first became Darna. Valentina becomes shocked and ashamed at realizing...

You can see the plan they had from the start with some of the villain characters. Regina was a tragic figure who is manipulated and lied to by the man she thinks is her father, is too proud to accept the help of those who care for her, rejects the help of the only genuine friend she has, and ultimat...

This show has been such a disappointment on the superheroine side of things (apart of the costume). It's like they realized they had no worthy foe for Darna throughout the whole run so they just throw all those weak villains together to make it feel like Darna is in actual danger and call it a day....

Thanks! This is a great find. I never got to watch full episodes, but from the few scenes I saw earlier in the run, I remember there was a scene when she was not yet aware of her invulnerability, so she actually raised her hands when goons pointer their guns at her, but she was shot anyway, and was...

I have two questions about this, though: 1) Jay Cayabyab's Facebook mentions something about a "comeback". Does that mean that either of them had already portrayed those characters *before* in this series? For example, was Ralph (drag Darna) involved in the "Darna vs Borgo-Darna"...

I wish the 2005 version came out on (HD) DVD. While the story may be no better, at least it had more peril for our superheroine. And Angel did look fantastic as well. Unfortunately for us, Angel Locsin transferring to the rival network killed any chance of that ever happening. Okay, first, the 2005...

At the end of the episode, there's suddenly a Nueva Esperanza Cosplay Festival, hosted by an MC dandy with a pink shirt. There are two cosplayer actresses dressed up as Darna and Valentina simulating a battle while a crowd cheers them on. (The Darna cosplay is wearing the *exact* Darna uniform, so ...

If the screenshots of the show I've seen are true, where the whole body of Darna is blurred out, I am not surprised. I was actually more surprised that they actually aired it there in the first place. The ANTV episodes are up at Vidio, which is an Indonesian streaming service used by several of the...

Further update: one person in Indonesia is claiming that ANTV (the Indonesian broadcaster that started airing Darna a couple of weeks ago) has stopped airing the show . First it was moved from 7:30pm to 10pm, and now the latest episode wasn't shown, leading to speculation that the show has been pull...

Speculation on Facebook is, based on latest preview videos, that Luna is to make a comeback.

^you misunderstand. The show I was referring to was "Ang Probinsyano", a totally different genre from Dana, though. From what I read, the new show will star the same actor. But that show was the longest running non-anthology show in Pinoy tv history, according to Wikipedia. What's the usu...
