Blade Runner, Last Version

"I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die…."

I went last week to see the Original version of Blade Runner, I cannot see if it is still availble, I think it isn´t.

It was ten years since I last saw it so the impact was total. I hadn´t time even to think whether Deckard was a replicant or not, as many say (you shall read about this debate in Microsiervos). To tell the truth, I think Roy is much better, isn´t it? They say the actor invented the final monologue seen below. Curious...

If you are interested in the original scriptl here.

The Twelve Days of Christmas: Day 2

Jeremy's Status Message Proudly Presents The Twelve Days of Christmas:

On the second day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
And it only cost her $204.99 (or $354.94 if she ordered them online).

That's right! Now you can wear this T-shirt with pride!

Chicos de Nueva Inglaterra (Las fascinantes inspiraciones de Lovecraft)

No es que haya resucitado la temible y exitosa saga de “La fascinante –ponga aquí lo que prefiera- de Lovecraft” con la que torturé este verano, es que leo en Internet que la casa que sirviera de inspiración al bueno de H.P. (recordad, ese tipo que se alimentaba de café y chocolate, que era un poquito racista y que murió virgen) para su novelita “El caso de Charles Dexter Ward” está a la venta por la nada despreciable cifra de 2.900.000 dólares (poco más de 2 millones de euros) y con un plan que permite pagarla en 30 años. Está construida en 1801 y viene con aire acondicionado de serie. ¿Nos juntamos y la compramos entre varios?

Sigo leyendo en Internet (una mañana aburrida, no puedo negarlo) una noticia que involucra a otros dos chicos de Nueva Inglaterra… Stephen “pilar indiscutible” King y Eli Roth, director que no me fascinaba hasta que en Hostel II me regaló una de las mejores (y más excitantes… sí, sí, he dicho excitantes) escenas de tortura que yo y mis múltiples psiquiatras hemos visto nunca. La cosa es que el bueno de Eli Roth hace un paréntesis en sus secuelas de Hostel y en sus cameos para Tarantino (es el tipo que dice lo de “Quiero que Shanna me chupe la Banana” en Death Proof) para rodar Cell, la penúltima novela (al menos la penúltima publicada en España) de King. De momento todo es un rumor pero esperemos que el guión de Cell no respete más allá del primer tercio del libro, con Roth o sin él.

The Twelve Days of Christmas: Day 1

Jeremy's Status Message Proudly Presents The Twelve Days of Christmas:

On the first day of Christmas,
My neighbors gave to me,
A giant sleigh with a Snoopy.

Explanation: MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Snoopy and the gang did bring us the following Christmas moment from Luke 2:8-14.



As we read further in the book of Luke, today's status message becomes clear:

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about. And we shall plant a lawn, and upon that lawn, we shall place a giant wooden sleigh, taller than the tallest man and crafted in the finest wood available to people of our station. And upon that sleigh, that glorious sleigh draped with lights aplenty, we shall place a giant glowing Snoopy in a Santa hat. The Snoopy shall glow brighter than the moon and the stars and even the mighty inflatable candy cane merry-go-round across the street." And so they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they built their giant sleigh and placed their glowing Snoopy upon it and he was brighter than the sun itself. All who saw were amazed at what the shepherds had built.

So, should you wander into my neighborhood this holiday season and see a giant Snoopy in front of one of the houses, now you know the biblical significance of this glorious creation.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good day.
