bona movie

  after work tonight i went to a free screening at the trylon in minneapolis, for the movie 'bona', from the philippines. it was about a young girl who becomes infatuated with a b-movie actor and becomes a mother figure to him. the scenes were mostly in the slums of manila, and it is not too often when i see this kind of squalor being depicted. things like carrying water in tanks for bathing. there was plenty of vulgar language in it, but this was nothing i hadn't seen or heard before in movies or in real life. all of the dialogue was subtitled, although at times it appeared the actors were speaking english. in the background early on there was a tv commercial for General Electric. i was wondering if anything american or english would be in it, and it looked like a few things were. it also reminded me of a former colleague from suburban chicago who would say 'salud' when i sneezed, blessing me in spanish. there was a scene where someone said 'salud' but it apparently was being used as a woman's name. before the movie i went to eat at a burger king, had a whopper junior. but it was a little unnerving when an employee had to unlock the door to let me out. i also had some cookies with the meal. at work i was able to cut down on the backlog once the tech was finished with working on the inserter machine. first time in over six months that we have had to call for service, i like how it had been a while. both the check stock and envelope orders arrived, but half of the check stock is on backorder. the envelopes were dumped in the mailroom, a branch employee let me know. i made quick work on getting the boxes moved to the shop once i found out. during my walks i found 50 cents.
