From Home Alone to Junior
Friday, April 13, 2007
Gusto kong maging author. Author ng isang libro na babasahin ng lahat ng taong marunong magbasa. I-revise ko kaya ang bible. Hehe.
Speaking of books, may libro na pala si Macaulay Culkin. Yup si Kevin sa Home Alone ay isa na ngang author. Tinawag nya ang kanyang libro na "Junior".
Bakit Junior? Ba ewan ko sa kanya. Hindi naman kami close para tanungin ko. Pero baka pag binasa yun ay eventually ieexplain dun. May hawig kay Bob Ong ang estilo ng pagulat nya. Yung tipong anything goes. May mga erasures effect pa within the context of the book.
Noong 2005, nagtestify pa nga si Mr. Culkin sa court for Michael Jackson's case. Sabi nya na he had never been molested by Jackson and he thinks na outrageous yung mga charges againts him.
Ilang bag of marijuana and Xanax kaya ang pinangako ni Michael Jackson kay Mr. Culkin?
Anyways... back tayo sa libro.
May kamahalan yung libro. Mahal sya para sa aking walang trabaho at kasalukuyang humuhutuhot lamang sa magulang. Sabi sa review:
This book consists of disjointed paragraphs, childish drawings, serious father issues, and a wide variety of page layouts. But the fact that it was written by a former child star and current indie actor whose battles with his father are well documented lends an overarching semiautobiographical theme that ties these pieces together into snapshots of Culkin's celebrity life. Calling this title fiction may be a bit of a stretch. There's no plot, although there are several recurring stories about Monkey Monkey Boy, former child star. The book is more a journal written by a fictional character named Junior, and it reads exactly like one. Now 25, the author may or may not have written this as part of a therapeutic process. (He drops hints that he has.) His emotions are certainly laid bare. Culkin touches on such issues as how you become who you are, how every little thing that happens to you matters, and how you make the transition to adulthood. Teens who are journaling can find a lot of inspiration in his insights. Those who have enjoyed his movies will find this peek into his soul fascinating.
Kung sino man si Monkey Monkey Boy ay hindi ko na alam. Tulad ng sinabi ko kanina, hindi kami close ni Mac.
Ang pinagtataka ko lang... bakit kaya sya naging kung sino sya ngayon? I mean, from this to this??? Well, ika nga... walang paki-alamanan. Kaya pede ba Rob! Wag kang makialam!
