‘THE MARTIAN’ GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATION IS A HOAX!

Leave a comment

imageHOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – ‘The Martian,’ starring Matt Damon playing the role of an astronaut left behind and presumed dead on planet Mars, was so funny and the musical numbers so  outstanding that it was nominated today in three categories for the Golden Globe Awards.

The film picked up three nominations: Best Director (Ridley Scott), Best Actor in a Motion Picture in a Musical or Comedy (Matt Damon), and Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy.

But if you are among the many who were so confused and angered about today’s announcement nominating the film in the comedy or musical category for the annual awards handed out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, you can relax.  It was a hoax, as confirmed this evening by The Adobo Chronicles.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Filipinos are calling it the ‘Hand Jive 2.0.’ It’s a modern version of a dance craze which was popular in the 1950’s.

The original Hand Jive involves a complicated pattern of hand moves and claps at various parts of the body, following and/or imitating the percussion instruments. Hand moves include thigh slapping, cross-wrist slapping, fist pounding, hand clapping, and hitch hike  moves.

Hand Jive 2.0 evolved as a result of Senate hearings in Manila and surfaced when Philippine Transportation and Communications Secretary Joseph Emilio Baya was questioned by Senator Grace Poe on Metro Manila’s traffic congestion as well as problems with the Manila Metro Rail Transit t (MRT) trains.

The new dance craze consists of hand movements simulating cars and buses overtaking each other, and MRT trains speeding and slowing down as they approach or leave overcrowded terminals.

Forget the Macarena. Hand Jive 2.0 is now the “in” thing!

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – According to the Christian faith, every human being born in this world is born a sinner, and in the Roman Catholic Church, it takes a miracle to be canonized a saint in a long and tedious process.

But Kim Kardashian and Kanye West defy dogma and centuries-old tradition by the birth of their second child, Saint. No need for baptism and no need for canonization for the baby boy.

Their first child, North, now 2 years old, seemed to have prepared the way for Saint’s birth. A biblical north star from the west, so to speak.

Congratulations to the proud parents. They are truly blessed.

We all look forward to following Saint as he leads a holy life in this troubled world of ours.
