Viva Films' Tragic Theater Is Both Tragic And Fun


1. Tragedy and comedy, as Woody Allen would make his character say in "Melinda and Melinda", are always in a relationship, and are sometimes married, even inseperable, like Agony and a 10am-Trip to Mandaue.

2. I must have laughed a Level 2/3 Laugh with Tikoy Aguiluz' Tragic Theater for two reasons:

2.1 I watched Woody Allen's gorgeous genius classic "Everybody Says I Love You" not more than 5 hours before Tragic Theater, which might have tricked me to see the comedy in all tragedy; to read Shakespeare in Taylor Swift; to see dooty in duty; to see the supposedly creepy zombies sitting on the theater seats not as rated-x horrifying monsters, but just as regular overworked yuppies chilling out in the theatre because the fight with plants (see Plants Vs Zombies) and the battles with The Pre-Walkers (see The Walking Dead) last night was, uhm, brain-draining. 

2.2 An hour before Tragic I fast-forwarded scenes from Ryan Taborada's Black Mirror, a masterful depressing TV series about how technology sucks and doesn't suck, depending on what page you're reading in Ali Smith's new novel "How To Be Both".

3. Andy Eigenmann and the tragically unacknowledged and uncredited Security Guards get the Bisaya Short Films Best Taong Grasa Sa Dan Non-Acting Actor Award.
