Here are updates on Kat’s missing friend, Mackoy.
Told Kat that maybe, just maybe, they can’t find him ’cause he doesn’t want to be found. Yet. Baka gusto ng alone time, baka gustong mag-soul searching. (Hyphenated ba ang “soul searching”? Of course I am too tamad to check. Today is Tamaaaad Monday anyways.) Baka katulad ni Mackoy yung writer na nakilala ko sa Cebu some years back, bigla-bigla na lang nagdi-disappearing act. Baka. Sana.
Meanwhile, because I am toooooooooo shabeauwg to start a story due today:
Will Smith on Sam the dog and Bob Marley:
How attached did you get to Samantha the dog in I Am Legend?
“Oh, Abbey is the dog’s real name. When I was probably 9 years old, I had a dog Trixie. It was a white Golden Retriever that got hit by a car. So now I refuse, I have had no animals. ‘Jada, you can have the dogs you want, the kids can have the dogs they want, but I’m not putting myself emotionally connected to a dog anymore.’ Then, they brought that damn Abbey on the set. You say a ’smart’ dog. It got to the point with Abbey that she would be playing, playing, playing, and she would hear, ‘Rolling!’ so she would run over to her mark and get ready. I was like, ‘What in the hell?’
It’s like she would know when I wasn’t doing my lines right. If I would get lost in the scene, she would just go silent you know? [Laughing] It was the first time I had allowed myself to connect and be fond of a dog since that experience, and to the owner I said, ‘Please, Abbey had to live with me. Please.’ He was like, ‘Well, this is how I make my living, man.’ I was like, ‘Tell me what you need. Tell me what you need. A house in the hills?’ But she was smart, just fun, and warm. I experienced the pain again, because he said, ‘I’ll bring her over every weekend Will, but she has to work.’ It was painful. She is great. I used to watch Lassie and animals really can be smarter than other animals. She is way on another plain of connecting to what your energy is, what your feelings are, and protective. It’s beautiful.”
Are you a Bob Marley fan like your character?
“Love love love Bob Marley. It’s funny because the script was done and we’d already begun shooting, and I was looking for things for my character. That Bob Marley Legend album actually is my favorite album, so it just connected with me that concept of Bob Marley having the virologist sort of idea of trying to cure hate with music. That idea just exploded in my mind about two weeks into production. It just fit perfectly that idea of lighting up the darkness. It was one of those perfect opportunities when something had already lived inside of you fits perfectly with a character and a situation. That was my little treat.”
Pramis, may mas kukyut pa ba kay Will Smith?
Ang tagal mag-uwian. *sigh*
Setting: Sa area ng Sports EAs. Habang naghihintay ng kanyang pahina ang boypren at nakatambay (as usual ano pa nga ba) sa katabing desk ang gerlpren dala ang kanyang notebook at sinasamantala ang libreng wifi ng opis.
So grey,
