MOVIE REVIEW - SPACE JAM: A New Legacy

Warning: Contains spoilers

After 25 years, the Tunes are back in the game with now a new human was forcibly taken from the real world in Space Jam: A New Legacy. Bugs, Lola, and the Tunes get to know LeBron James, as he goes on a mission to save his son, Dom (Cedric Joe) from Al G. Rhythm (Don Cheadle) through a game of basketball.

When you already have something to expect from the movie, this was even more exciting because you will have a Warner Bros. geekdom in more than half of the movie. You get to spot a lot of characters from animations, movies, and series which I have already discussed here. We'll get more and you'll be excited and busy looking for them in every scene. The ones we haven't spot in the trailer gave a surprise in the basketball spectacle.

Justice League Easter Egg in Space Jam: A New Legacy

There's also one thing that crossed over from one animated universe. I was amazed to find another Easter Egg with the flying saucer A-113 -- if you're familiar with it, A-113 is always present in Pixar movies. The artists of Space Jam: A New Legacy I think deliberately put in on the scene to give tribute to their classroom while they start in animation at the California Institute of the Arts.

It is good that they somehow were able to connect it with the original Space Jam as the aliens of the Mean Team were also present as spectators of the game. If you're looking for Michael Jordan, you'll get a Michael Jordan as well. 😉 That's only the connection of these two movies and it's well-executed.

The Tunes are also getting an upgrade. Space Jam: A New Legacy combines 2D and 3D animation. Would this pave the way for them to be in 3D in upcoming movies and series? I hope so. Warner Bros. could create a new experience for its loyal and new audience with the new look of the Tunes.

On a serious note, this opens up the avenue for families to bond despite the available technology and discover their potentials. LeBron's acting was okay and not cringy if I'll assess it. I think he did better than Don Cheadle, no offense. 😉 I was also expecting more of Zendaya voicing Lola Bunny but I think she had enough airtime here to balance it with LeBron. But you still did a great job, Z.

Space Jam: A New Legacy is now streaming on HBO Max.

Happy Easter everyone and Warner Bros. Pictures released the trailer of Space Jam: A New Legacy which leaves us for a good Easter egg hunt. The much-awaited sequel (will they bring Michael Jordan here?) will be in theaters in July.

We'll see a lot of WB and HBO properties and titles like Game of Thrones - especially the Night King. I wonder if he's from LeBron's Dream Team or the enemy's Goon Squad.

how to solve MANILA TRAFFIC?

i was really inspired to write about this since i got stuck in Manila for almost two hours just from Intramuros upto Morayta St. in Manila. it would only take around 20-30 minutes travel time from Intramuros upto Cubao in a stop-and-go basis. i just got irritated that when it rained, not very hard in fact, the traffic became terrible.

traffic in Manila is the worst and a very hideous sight! in fact it paralyzes everything, your work and appointments. it will stress you out and i admit, it gets you old. imagine the pollution you will take when you are riding an open-air public transport. sweat and pollution combined will trash you out. dust will be your face powder and your sweat is the cologne. we call it here, HAGGARD.

in order to resolve this problem, may i suggest some ways:
1. i hope there will be a bill prohibiting ALL car-buyers when they don't have a garage. chances are, they will park their vehicles on the streets eating up one lane. streets in Manila are small and mostly two lanes. the problem with Filipinos is that we indulge in luxury. boasting what we got to be the envy of everyone.
2. clear out the streets. that involves the sidewalk vendors, trashes and even unnecessary signages and posts. and i hope that local governments should take out islands in the middle of the streets because it eats a lot of space.
3. take out all colorum vehicles. but the thing is, sometimes these illegal public transports give the convenient trip. better yet, hold them with legal papers so that there would be no issues.
4. there should always be a strong enforcement of traffic rules. PNoy addressed on his inauguration speech that there will be no more counter flows and sirens that some politicians are taking advantage.
5. widen our roads. this is kind of attached to #2. EDSA has 3 or 4 lanes but still gets traffic jam. Manila is so congested with people since it is the center of trade for the Philippines.
6. my last center in #5 would be resolved by an RH Bill. a moderate number of people is easier to support and solve their problems.


i hope what i wrote here gets to the tables of the people in charge. if not, they might be opposing #4.
