dont you sometimes feel limited by it in your comic dialogue?
I do. Especially on working on my ASKAL comic. When doing gang member dialogue… it ISNT like the black gangstas you see in the USA. Not all gangstas talk like that… lol… Repeating "ya know what I'm sayin" and "yo… yo…" then talking 50 words in 10 seconds. Thats just gonna be hard to understand and I doubt it if I can do it properly. As I'm not from TeH H00d… (If I say I'm from TeH H00d, your bullshit detector is gonna ring LOUD…) And the "gangstas" I've been exposed to in the Philippines DONT talk like that.
"Intellectual" characters (political leaders, generals, businessmen, etc…) are pretty easy for me to do since their dialog is gonna be "paper english" which I am very proficient in.
I wonder what kind of jokes are funny in the Philippines
Our comedy films have the following cliches: - poor (financially) guy who always acts stupid or is good in insulting people. Sometimes, a good ass-kicker as well. - slapstick jokes, "sex" jokes, and practical jokes… think Mr. Bean or American Pie. - people getting hyperactive… also happens in anime and korean movies… - gay jokes. Gay man is always the bumbling idiot and says the stupidest things. - pretty ladies :)
———————— RANT OF THE DAY ————————
If you havent noticed, there is an apparent lack of angry shit in these rants nowadays…
I'm trying to adopt a policy of ZERO HATE regarding the ranting section here. No angry shit in here… No sir… Doesnt matter if its anger related to political, social, religious, economical, family issues… or simply general anger expressing my hatred towards everything (including myself) and anything else under the sun. I am an equal-opportunity hater. :)
Uuugghhh!!! But I enjoyed those rants!!! I like reading angst and writings about people angry at everything!!!
No sir. But I have to respect the majority decision. As most people dont like the angry shit I say here. Not like those old days when I did my old brood knight website… ( http://www.geocities.com/bk_killer21 )
But fuck. People grow up. The people who sympathized with me in the earlier stages musta grown up already… and no longer think my ranty hatey shit is cool anymore. :(
And btw I think I matured as well. Before, I used to be a self-hater most of the time… But now the hate has a broader spectrum and focus at the same time. As I grew and gained more and more knowledge of the world (I'm an obsessive reader), the more I learned to hate it. lol. Maybe it'd be better if I had the mental capacity of a 2 year old. So all I'd see is dadada and mamama… And care about nothing except bling, bitches, and bullshit. (hmmm… sounds familiar eh?)
HOWEVER…
I might write any potentially offensive shit in TAGALOG, my first language. Who here understands Tagalog?!?
