Wapakman trailer, you guys:
If "I want to go to there" didn't feel like such a tired reference, I'd probably use it. I...SEE..YOUR...MILKSHAKE...ON DVD. (Thanks for the tip, Andrew and Richard.)

Rip Torn's eyes would barely open and his face was a ravaged, haggard, stubbly mess. His chapped lips stuck together, and the pavement had left a red, mottled impression against his cheek. He looked around blearily, barely able to focus...

"What the fucking what?" - Babe Ruth

What do ya mean WTF? Isn't it obvious what's going on?
He's a ghostbuster, and he's fighting Kratos and a giant crab, And he's a hero but he has glasses so he goes to school and random-gratuitous-bikini-shot and he jumps out of a train because Nacho Libre.
And there's kids everywhere. "Slumdog Millionaire Effect" anyone?
Score = 12
No no no. It's simply the filipino Kick-Ass.
Score = 2
Who's the lady - Ms. Wapakman?
Score = 10
Finally, a movie that tells the truth about what it feels like to fight a giant crab in an abandoned museum.
Score = 12
It's obviously Topher Grace's the biopic.
Score = 7
I feel like I've seen this movie the exact amount of times I've been on mushrooms.
Score = 14
Wait, isn't that that famous boxer who just fought a match? All my Filipino friends (all two of them) were updating the fuck outta Facebook a couple days ago.
Score = 10
That's him and that is funny about your friends. I relate too. I live in the Bay Area and it's Filipino heaven here. They love the guy. I can't leave the house without seeing somebody wearing a Pacquiao shirt.
Score = 9
YAY AREA!!
afk going dumb while i ghostride my whip. (what? i dunno. i'm from the bay area, too.)
Score = 0
I am most excited about the giant cgi crab, with a close second being the chick with the sonic boo(m)/(bs)
Score = 8
I'm scared NOT to see this movie.
Score = 16
So is this essentially a Filipino version of Watchmen? If so, will it be better than Watchmen? Because the giant crab is helping to point that sign towards YES.
Score = 9
The world will look up and shout SAVE US...and I'll whisper...Sa muling pagkikita!
Score = 15
It still makes more sense than Transformers 2.
Score = 9
I wonder if I should send this to all my filipino friends who are suddenly into boxing.
Score = 7
Yea, don't you hate that. It's like the time in the mid-90's when all of my friends from Los Angeles were all of a sudden really into dragging people out of tractor trailers and beating the living piss out of them.
Score = 4
This trailer does right what both Fantastic Four movies did wrong.

Watchmen
Wild Wild West
Ong-Bak

Blankman
The Wrestler
Children of the Corn
Exorcist
Wild Things
Finding Forester
Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark
Back to the Future I
X-Men
Attack of the Crab Monsters (1957)
Boondock Saints

"Best crab fight of the year." -Roger Ebert

Clearly, the Rog is not omniscient when it comes to crab fights:
Score = 0
Manny Pacquiao is ..... Crab killer.
Score = 0
Way more impressive than winning a world title in seven weight classes.
Score = 0
Busting crabs makes me feel good.
Score = 4
Either these people are geniuses at editing trailers, or they're trying to confuse you so you don't notice that the movie sucks.
Score = 0
What a grand reference-looking film!
I'm picking up what they're putting down.
I liked the Danny Elfman-inspired faux Spider-man music too.
Who knows if it'll actually be good though. So far the only thing it has going for it is an overwhelming sense of familiarity.
Score = 0
Mystery Men 2: Manilla Getaway
Score = 0
What do you mean "I want to go to there" is tired? I like very much.
Score = 1
So, I lived in the Philippines for a couple years, and I saw entire cities stop functioning when Pacquiao had a fight. Pacquiao is God there, and God can do what he wants. Also, this movie looks better than any of the other Filipino movies I've seen (and I've seen, like, 30 of them). I'm actually excited for this, and I will be showing off to my roommates by watching it without subtitles. My roommates always get so jealous when I remind them that I speak a useful second language like Tagalog.
Score = 8
Critical to understanding the film is knowing what the hell a Wapak is.
