Today, April 30, one of the most anticipated comic book icons to be immortalized in the silver screen will be shown at all movie theaters in the Philippines - IRON MAN.
I'm just waiting for my wife to finish her meeting. Afterwards, it is off to the movie house and watch IRON MAN. I'm really excited about this character. For years, I have read the comics and seen the cartoon. Tonight, I'll get to witness Tony Stark in the flesh. I will be posting my thoughts on the movie. Not necessarily tell you the story. But I'll just give you some glimpses here and there.
Hope you guys catch this movie. And I am hoping this won't be a disappointing film. From the way Marvel rolls out its movies (such as X-MEN and the Spiderman franchise), this one is sure to be a box-office hit.
Here's a trailer of the film:
If you get to see the film, post you comments here. I wanna hear what you think.
See you at the movies.

IRON MAN THE MOVIE SHOWS TODAY AT PHILIPPINE MOVIE THEATRES

NICKELODEON WEEKEND CARNIVAL AT THE FORT WAS A BLAST!!!
It was 3pm as we went to The Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City to attend the NICKELODEON WEEKEND CARNIVAL. They have been promoting the event for weeks at Nickelodeon. It looked exciting. Besides, it's FREE. My sons and I were pumped to go. I mean you don't get to attend a Nickelodeon event. So why not. Besides, it's FREE.
Parking was good. There were designated areas for parking which was highly appreciated. It's good that the organizers thought of the importance of allotting parking spaces for its guests.
We got there and there were some people there already. Not much activity was happening. As we entered the place, we were given some stubs with numbers for the raffle and some goody bags (which contained toys and products from the sponsors). Not bad.
Inside the grounds, tents were set up each with a certain activity. They had different characters representing a related event. Spongebob had a water-themed activity (duh). The kids had to "fish" the star fish with a fish pole strapped on a helmet. The end of the line was a magnet. Those who get the star fish get a little sticker. Of course, not all the star fish were "fishable." Some were made of wood so the magnet couldn't stick. My son and his tita got the star fish and some tokens.
After a few hours, the grounds were filled with people. I saw some familiar faces. Some were from the church I pastor. I saw these kids were just so excited to be there. As for the parents, I applaud them for braving the sun and the humidity. Good job parents. What we do for our kids is truly extraordinary.
As for me, I did enjoy despite the setbacks. If you see my photo here, I got my hair glazed with silver spray. I looked like DANNY PHANTOM for a day. Actually, adults were not allowed to have their hair sprayed. But I somehow got the nod from the in-charge.
I saw Spongebob Squarepants, Patrick Star and Danny Phantom (mascots). I was hoping I could get a picture with them for the website. Unfortunately, it only took about 2 minutes. I was hoping they could go around and say HI to everyone. But I guess they wouldn't want an incident that Spongebob gets squashed by 1000 kids. Now that would be something to talk about.
There were long lines as expected. But it didn't matter to the kids. They were just having a ball.
We were there for about four hours and the people just kept coming in.
All in all, I was great being in an event like this. When you have an event like this in your town, come and give the kid inside you a chance to get out. I didn't have second thoughts getting silver hair even though I am a pastor. I mean, you'd think that you'll be conscious about it, right? I guess it's just me. The kid inside me still lives.
Watch the video report.
Folks! I need to hear from you. Post a comment here. Let's have a conversation.

NICK WEEKEND CARNIVAL AT THE FORT THIS APRIL 26
There will be a NICKELODEON WEEKEND CARNIVAL (April 26, 2008) from 3PM to 8PM at Bonifacio Global City Open Field (Behind NBC Tent), Metro Manila, Philippines. And one thing great..IT'S FREE!!!
As I have read in their post at nicksplat.com (click here to view), "This will be an adventurous journey to the different, exciting worlds of some of Nickelodeon's characters we love! Your favorite Nick characters all under one gigantic, splat-filled roof – or should we say - tent? Get ready to meet and greet Danny Phantom and SpongeBob SquarePants with Patrick Star!"
Also, "There will also be amazing carnival capers, games bursting with awesome prizes! Kids can enjoy a huge exciting inflatable, and see walking jugglers, fire eaters, animals galore with unexpected Nickelodeon surprises and gallons of smackin' green goo!"
I am hoping you guys can go and have some fun. We all need some time to get in touch with our kid inside. Being an adults can sometimes be too stressful. If you're there, just have fun. I'll be posting a report on this afterwards.
If you happen to go, how about sharing what you experienced there? Send me some picture or maybe a video of yourself in the event? How about I feature you on the site? Email me at info@iwannatalkabout.com.
IRON MAN THE MOVIE ON APRIL 30 IN THE PHILIPPINES
One of the most anticipated movies of all time. The movie that can only be done today due to the advancement of movie-making technology. IRON MAN can now be brought to life. And I am ready to watch this movie in its full glory.
When I first saw the trailer of this movie on the internet, I was totally blown away. For years, I have read the comic books, played the toys, worn the mask, colored the coloring books, watch the cartoon and played the video games. Now, IRON MAN will be on the screen. I am hoping the film stays true to the origin of the story plus gives some extra "umph" to it.
Here's the official trailer of the film. Watch it and join me with anticipation.
In the Philippines, the movie comes out April 30, 2008. I will be posting my thoughts on the movie once I do see it. Believe me! I will post here.
