My blueberry nights

Pues sí, vamos a hablar de cine (o quizá no)


Hace muchos años, antes incluso de que me hiciera la foto del post anterior, inmerso en pleno fanatismo "post-Pulp Fiction", compré el VHS de una película "presentada por Quentin Tarantino". Ese VHS se llamaba "Chungking Express" y sí, yo fui de los que se enamoraron del cine de Kar Wai mucho antes de que "Deseando amar" se convirtiera en una película generacional.
Explico esto porque sé que en los próximos días, cuando hable de esta película, me voy a encontrar con la única actitud que odio más que la gafapastada; la antigafapastada. Desde que Kar Wai es un venerado por el círculo de Cahiers, hay casi que pedir perdón por reivindicarle y me vais a permitir, pero de "Honor de Caballería" a "Days of being wild" o "As tears go by" hay tanta distancia como de sus pelis como guionista de acción ("Flamming Brothers") a las que ha dirigido.

Tenía pocas esperanzas con "My blueberry nights", por la actriz principal lo primero (no era el mismo caso que Faye Wong porque la Jones me ponía de los nervios como cantante) y por el retraso en el estreno español. De hecho, hace casi 6 meses me dejaron la peli en un DVD francés y ahí sigue, sin haberlo visto desde entonces. Pero me lo he tenido que tragar porque la peli es una pasada (matizable) y me lo he pasado como aquel día en que me compré el VHS de "Chungking Express" con ¿14? ¿15 años?. La Jones está soberbia, Jude Law está tan bien como en "Closer", la Weisz no se ha visto tan guapa en ningún plano como en el que tiene con las gafas blancas, la Portman está decente (su personaje es el que más me toca las narices, amén del engaño que hay dentro de su historia) y el tipo ese que hace de policía y al que no tenía yo archivado en la cabeza, se merece todos los premios del mundo. Y luego, claro, Kar Wai, que recupera el pulso de sus mejores momentos.


Jamás me he creído esa memez, que no puede creerse nadie que haya estado a menos de 100 metros de un rodaje, sobre que Kar Wai rueda sin guión. Pero lo que sí demuestra su cine es que el camino más corto hacia una gran historia pasa por enebrar la puesta en escena dentro del guión y que hay películas que necesitan respirar y anteponer la situación a la narración (si bien, en este caso, situación y narración van de la mano).
¿A que me ha quedado un post la mar de gafapasta?, pues sí, pero de todas formas vamos a ver si nos vamos descosiendo ese término de la lengua, que estamos abusando tanto de él que el día menos pensado lo vamos a usar en contra de la gente que va al Reina Sofía.

Fast and Furious 4 Official Trailer Video

 Fast and Furious 4
    The forth part of The Fast and the Furious movie series is now pushed to April 3rd 2009, as per the Official Facebook of Fast and Furious the movie.

    Vin Diesel, Paul Waker Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster are reprising the roles they had in the first opus of Fast and Furious. This movie isn't a sequel to Tokyo Drift: actually it is a sequel to 2 Fast and 2 Furious, the second movie, and so is a prequel to Tokyo Drift.

    The plot:
      Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) has been killed working for drug baron Antonio Braga. Brian (Paul Walker), fresh from an undercover stint in prison, is out to catch the man responsible, and so is Dominic (Vin Diesel). Brian and Dominic go undercover as members of Braga's drug transportation team in a plan to catch the man red-handed.


    If they could combine the cars and the visual effects of the two first movies to the sound system of Tokyo Drift, Fast and Furious 4 would be a high octane movie. So watch out some official trailer of Fast and Furious 4 and this tells you everything about movies.







    I just hope you all enjoy watching Fast and Furious 4 Video Trailer

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree - I only paid $2 for thee.

Source: Oh Christmas Tree, of course.

Explanation: Continuing on my recent theme* of Christmas carols, today I sing the praises of our Christmas tree. While we were up in the air as to whether or not to buy a tree this year, Sarah and I finally relented to the Christmas spirit** and ventured forth to buy one last night. Last night seemed like a really good idea, seeing as there was only a week until Christmas and the weather for the next few days is supposed to be pretty nasty. So, we hit the road.

Our usual place was already closed for the night, so we flipped a coin and decided to head to Lowe's first and then Home Depot on the way back if Lowe's didn't pan out. Lowe's looked like their tree selection had been struck by a tornado. There were only 6 or so left, and most looked like 6-foot scraggly versions of Charlie Brown's tree. But, I was drawn in by a big sign that said, "Seasonal Clearance: $2.00 each." I can't say no to the chance of getting a tree for $2, so I bounded out of the car to survey the sorry selection.

As I expected, most of the trees looked somehow plagued, but there was one tree that caught my eye. It was a little short, but very full and healthy. And frankly, we don't need a giant tree this year, so I went in and paid for it.

I don't care if it has a "bad side" or isn't quite perfect. Our Christmas tree cost us $2.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a cheap tree!
