 A typical Pisces, you have your head in the clouds. You're self-sacrificing and a bit too passive to stand up to the dark side. You become fairly pessimistic when put under pressure. You are a chameleon - wanting to change your scenery on occassion. Star wars character you are most like: Lando |

post ...
Found in Blinky's blog:
| You scored as Postmodernist. Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis.

RE-ceta
Como para dejarla para la posteridad y que no se pierda NUNCA!
Cortesia de la esposa de mi papa:
Dip de Atun
2 latas de atun (preferiblemente de esa remojada en agua, no en aceite, por favor piense en su colesterol)
2 cucharadas grandes de whipped cream cheese (whipped, si, que es menos espeso)
2 cucharadas grandes de mayonesa
5 o 6 cebollines (me refiero a los cebollines que ponen en el martini, chiquitos, redondos, blancos)
una pizca de adobo (solo un poco, si no queda salado)
Todo se echa en un food processor (cuide que el atun quede sin agua - lo mas posible, eniweis, eso hay q exprimirlo, pero tampoco tanto que se quede como hilachas de fibra seca, solo cuestion de que se pueda manejar dentro del food processor) ... debe quedar con textura de dip ... es facil, desomplicado... y DELICIOSO!

Spirited Away
Last night I had the honor of watching
under the influence...
I have to say: this movie is made of the stuff of nightmares, and also of tufts and fragments of the subconscious, the erratic, the illogical. The first strong reaction from me was fear. There's a scene (like 15 minutes into the movie, perhaps), immediately after the sun sets, in which Chihiro (the main character) goes back to her parents. They had been eating food off tables they found in an "abandoned theme park" (not so abandoned, really), mainly ignoring their daughter. When Chihiro goes back to them, they've been turned into pigs (and disgusting, big pigs, eating uncontrollably). The scariest part (to me) is that, regardless of their form change, they keep munching away, working their way up to the countertop... then one of the attendants behind the counter, upon seeing the pigs, start swatting away at them, swatting hard... the father falls back on the floor... the scene denotes such willing debasement (sprouting from the parent's greed and gluttony), and the fact that their daughter has to watch ... that is the stuff from nightmares. What comes afterwards, at least the whole "turning invisible" deal, reminded me a bit of a bad drug trip. But I totally understood and empathized with Chihiro when she crouched at the edge of the dock and started repeating to herself "This is only a dream." I felt like doing the same.
Watching movies under the influence is sometimes a bit more vivid, you immerse yourself in them, the emotions are way more real. Tunnel vision becomes the way to watch that TV screen. I'm not sorry I did it. For all the scare I got in the first 25 minutes, the rest of the movie just took me to places slightly familiar, and I could see evident parallelisms between Spirited Away and Alice in Wonderland. Both worlds defy all logic, reason and social parameters. Both worlds encompass the myths and stories which my cradle was woven with. Be it American or Japanese culture, you recognize a dream, the bat of an eyelid, the world that spreads underneath ... in whatever language you wish. Dreams always speak loud and clear.

Life Out of Balance, Love for the Environment and a Small Cheat
Movies I saw this weekend:
Star Wars: Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith
I caught the critics' screening on Saturday morning. Since I am not a good movie critic, I only have two things to say:
1) The movie is FUCKING A+! (Unlike Episodes 1 and 2)
2) **SPOILER** Anakin turns into Darth Vader (oh nooooo ... right) ...
Baraka
A no-dialogue documentary (it's all images and music) on the relationship between humans and the environment. Really well made, I liked it a lot. Which leads me to the other one (same concept, even better made):
Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance
This is more or less what Baraka was aiming at, but I would say it's better expressed. Makes you wanna turn aboriginal and go live in a jungle. We are harming the environment with everything we do, in every which way possible.
Thanks to Netflix for that! ^_^

coming up...
Just a couple movies I wanna see:
Happily Ever After
Which from what I understand delves into the question of fidelity and happinness in marriage ... basically topples over any ill-founded perception that marriage guarantees a happy, fairy-tale ending (a realistic, often cynical point of view that seems redundant in any case, however it's not uncalled for ... every once in a while we need a little wake up call from the pink cloud we live in ... or at least the one I live in).
Kontroll
Plot according to imdb.com: The massive labyrinthine netherworld that is the Budapest subway system provides the stunning setting for 'Kontroll,' a high-style, high-speed romantic thriller in which the lives of assorted outcasts, lovers, and dreamers intersect and collide. One handsome young hero, one mysterious maiden, and one particularly nasty killer must conduct a race against time, trains, and destiny itself in their frantic pursuit of one another.
All I know is that I get a very nice vibe from the trailer. I loved the visuals shown, and the kooky ideas, plus the speed of pacing (well, this is just a trailer, who knows about the movie) reminds me of Run Lola Run. I hope I can get to see it, find out if I'm right or wrong.
Old Boy
Plot according to imdb.com: An average man is kidnapped and imprisoned in a hotel room for 15 years without explanation. He then is released, equipped with money, a cellphone and expensive clothes. As he strives to explain his imprisonment and get his revenge, he soon finds out that not only his kidnapper has still plans for him, but that those plans will serve as the even worse finale to 15 years of imprisonment.
Ever since I saw Ichi: The Killer, I've fallen in love with these ultra-violent films. Lots of unsensitive gore, very interesting plots ... and lovely special effects (yessss ... blood is not that easy to emulate).
Dark Water
#1 - In this film the star is none other than the extremely beautiful, exquisite Jennifer Connelly (always been in love with her ... since Labyrinth)
#2 - The writing credits go to those responsible for Ringu, however the director is a Brazilian guy (nothing to do with those responsible for The Ring - American adaptation of Ringu. This might be a very good thing for those skeptical due to a hatred for the The Ring movies ... people, this might turn out to be good)
Me? I'm already sold! :-D Slap Jenny on any movie, I'm gonna watch it.

Here, more to remind me than to let you know, is a list of movies that I really want to see:
Heavenly Creatures

Glengarry Glen Ross
... esa película tiene un 97% Freshness Rating en la pág. de Rotten Tomatoes ... eso es un rating "epetaculá" ... no más por curiosidad
La Strada
La temática me llama la atención... another curiosity item.

It's a swarm!
Yesterday I had my "guilty-pleasure" movie night.
Starring Lucy Lawless. And that obviously explains it all. Those who know me from some time ago (let's say a few years or more) will remember the time when Xena was still being aired. The same time that I did all that was possible so as not to miss a single episode (efforts that were mostly fruitless, however, I had no cable TV at home, which meant traveling to Mom's and hope for generosity RE: the TV set).
This movie is just a run-of-the-mill sci-fi flick. Bad plot, unbelievable facts and turns of events (mostly regarding the locusts and their genetic mutations), etc etc etc. But there was this one scene, a scene that sticks out like a sore thumb in this movie, in which Maddy (Lucy's character) calls her dad to tell him that she's pregnant (he's the first one to know, her husband and she are separated due to her lack of attention and time for their relationship). She starts all cheery but her fatther then asks how her husband is taking the news and she bursts out crying. Given that her character is a strong one, this is not the usual damsel-in-distress, tearful sob. This is just the sheer realization that this is not the best time to be pregnant ... a high-pitched wail escapes her, soft, yet it conveys the feelings inside her. Lucy Lawless tends to be typecast due to Xena, a role she had for 6 or 7 years. But this scene proved to me she can do much more than the ancient Greek warrior.
Anyways ... I Love Lucy too ... just not the redhead creep...

Cycling
Found this a few weeks ago while flying duo and crashing into a desperately dark trip. This didn't help one bit, but it is worth every bit downloaded (just the trailer, I think we, the third-world, dark-skinned peasants, were not meant to watch the whole works).
