banking industry sub cult

Habang ume-ATM sa mall kahapon, narinig ko ulit sa katabing atm machine yung voice-over ng METROBANK E.T. Tangenangyan, na-transport back ako to the early 90s. Eh paano naman, hindi pa pala sila nagpapalit ng boses all this time. It's still the same voice doing the talking ATM thing. Tangina, old school pa rin eh no. Well, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, sabi siguro ng Metrobank.

hollywood stoner + growing up movie sub cult

Some movies have a scene where someone reads a letter and says it out loud for everyone to hear. The letter could be voiced out by a narrator or an actor. The film below, IMHO, has the best, funniest "letter-reading" scene ever among all the movies I've watched.




It's about a juvenile delinquent who gets sent to a prestigious prep school as punishment. In this scene, the lead character gets called by the principal because they just read a letter sent to him by one of his friends...

Dean Mort: Mr. Dunphy, do you have a friend called "Drugs"?

Timothy Dunphy: Drugs Delaney?

Mr. Funderberk: How many individuals named drugs could you possibly associate with?

Timothy Dunphy: Just one.

Dean Mort: Yesterday we received a letter addressed simply to Cornwall Academy, Cornwall, Connecticut. So naturally we, we opened it and read it. You might want to sit down. It begins, "Greetings Dunph. What's happening? I got your letter today. Cornhole Academy sounds like it really sucks the big one. I can't believe they make everyone work a lot and not smoke. You should tell that piece of shit Thunderturd to shove it. You didn't want to go there in the first place. Eat shit, man.

Drugs Delaney: [The camera cuts to Drugs writing the letter] Today you should've seen me and Mousy today at school today. I got cocked on a pint of Blackberry brandy, ate some THC on the bus. We were fucked. This teacher Mr. Rivera goes, "What's wrong with you Delaney?" I go, "I'm totally fucked, maaaaan!" Everybody laughed like a bastard. Oh man, you should see this song I'm listenin' to. It's called "Don't Bogart That Joint, My Friend." I think it's by a group called...

Dean Mort: [This is a couple of hours later] Must have nodded out, man.

Drugs Delaney: I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

Dean Mort: Want me to send you some squeef? Or you got enough? Good luck not getting caught. Cocked in Rhode Island, Drugs. P.S. - Oh yes, there's a postscript you might be interested in - Mousy says he stinkfingered Bunny Cote. As you might imagine Mr. Dunphy, this is, this is, this fairly incriminating. And, uh, technically you have not breached any of Cornwall Academy's rules, but you can bet your bottom dollar, Mister, we'll be keeping an eye on you.

ALL I CAN SAY IS YOU GOTTA WATCH IT RIGHT HERE.

The "traditional" definition of the Dark Ages

[From Wikipedia] "Dark Ages" is a term referring to the perceived period of both cultural and economic deterioration as well as disruption that took place in Western Europe following the decline of the Roman Empire.

The Arreneow Blue Eagle fan definition

The "Dark Ages" is that period of time [90s] where we sucked at UAAP basketball. We were almost always at the bottom 4... we never made the finals, even the semifinals I think... where winning against DLSU [no matter how rare] was like a championship already... damn we also were the fave whipping boys of Adamson, UE, UST and FEU.
