Cleaning A Canoscan 4200f

Optimistic Over here though I do not want

I'm not what you say an optimist. Rather, I tend to the tragedy-a tragicomedy some would say. However, I see life as a series of times to make decisions. Unfortunately sometimes it takes a correct, but others, how good we were wrong. Could be someone more enthusiastic about the "opportunity"? I know, as pathetic I am pessimistic.

What Stores Have Layaway?

Well, I saw (Stand Alone)

"If I had given in to my impulses,
was over mad or hanged."
EM Cioran


I spent a week, but wanted to say that yes I escaped to see "Against All Solo" to the Cinematheque.

better digested This time the film, which is difficult to see the first time because it is like entering the mind of a mad kind, as any it [not, as either no, but no big deal, no is "as" the character of Philippe Nahon , that is, not as fictitious].

I think now it seemed even fun. I do not know, but confirmed that it is my favorite. Now all I need to see "Meat" and I think that last year Gaspar Noé did some short or something. I think that until he was in Mexico, Morelia.

Somewhere "Seul Contre Tous" is a phrase that speaks of the "irreversibility" of the actions ... But it was actually shares the character was not only meant to do.

No matter, you can be pathetic forever. I also once thought of revenge from someone [of many, I suppose, one important] and to date I have not done [life does it for us many times].

Trivializing Cioran, say something like that there is no sense [of course, as others had said similar things] but ... Not cease to exist, will always be too late! There are some important things right and more so in the case of humans. Each one of us in particular, for example.

pathetic because we think we are important, important things we have not done, which we do, others do, those in which we fail in spite of us, those in which we won in spite of others.

And no. Never is important. But no matter. The pathetic we can still be pathetic and those who are not can go without being so. Or we can switch places and stop being pathetic for those who are not ever be what [some maybe not return to be like before ... others and could not]. It would be funny or grotesque, but not important.

Since that time (I think it was in 2000 or 2001) I walked into the room to see that movie with some friends (Miguel said he recalled "Nausea" by Sartre, someone else mentioned to Nietzsche), I left thinking I had something to do with Cioran.

In another film, "Salo" by Pasolini (I mean the DVD extras), Noah makes some reference to the Romanian philosopher, so I guess that the relationship is not casual.

I really enjoy the matches. And look back to crawling. Reversibly. So make more sense:

1 .- This time, we left and went to Chimalistac Cinematheque. We went to the movie that had the closest time: alone against all. Let's see how it goes.

2 .- Bombardment of images, thoughts monologue, resentment and powerlessness, violations. Some get up and walk out. No return. They go before the announcement that they are going to see may not like. Other we stayed. Despite the warning in red letters projected on the screen [this time to that part made me laugh].

3 .- We went out and no one spoke. We went to Coyoacan and slowly muttered someone who did not like. I really thought it best he had seen in a long time.

4 .- then just returned to film, after several months without seeing anything worthwhile. Leaving a depression.

5 .- Still in shock for several weeks, I forgot pay attention to the director. So I did not know that the film was by Gaspar Noé. Although I had known, the Argentine director was not then known. I found several months later. I do not know how. And then I looked and looked for clues to see the movie, but nothing.

6 .- Another year or two in the house of Cristina made time to go to a party at night. We saw "Irreversible."

7 .- ended and I still say that I thought was almost as good as one I had seen on a guy Cinematheque I hated everything [obvious, "Alone,"].

8 .- Ah, gee, is also of Noah [I told this much later, when I got "Irreversible" on DVD]. That guy is a great guy [I said this even later, when I got "Salo" on DVD and saw the extras interviewing Noah].

9 .- I see the new "Alone," and listen to the part of irreversibility. Sure, it did after "Irreversible."

10 .- Both violent movies such as "Dobermann ," also starring Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel [the only person that I would be, instead of me, is it] . Ah, heck, 10 minutes ago I found out that Noah was involved in "Doberman." But of course!

11 .- "Dobermann" is that time when I got to see a movie everyday and at least two French a week [that I had time for hobbies and other more]. Before my depression Renaissance.

12 .- Monica Bellucci Monica Bellucci was not only a character actress in a criminal move, which follows another violent antihero French (I later learned that they are spouses), a little way Tarantino.

And I can keep with the coincidences, but I stretched too [Ahi where else look it acted Philippe Nahon, who also thank the French violent "Baise -Moi ", etc, etc.].

Thanks
Gaspar Noé.
And Cioran.
and Monica Bellucci.
And my friends Chimalistac [because it could get out of depression, returning to the cinema and see "Alone," and "Irreversible".]

And about life in general ... as what evil: I should call Vincent Cassel.

Feeling Wet Down There?



went to see "Princess " by Fernando Leon de Aranoa , yes, the same as "Barrio" and "Los Lunes Al Sol".

Very good movie, about two prostitutes in Madrid, English and other undocumented Dominican Republic. The first, Caye, dreams of finding "a good man" to go for it "to leave work." The second, Zulema, wait a residence permit and never gets to see his family again, to his son in particular.

Caye said that "princesses do not have balance," that "are so sensitive they notice the rotation of the earth" and "ill if they are away from your kingdom, until you can die of sadness. "Caye has nostalgia for things that have not happened, and to be happy and find love, for example.

talking on the phone Zulema home and tells them it's OK, you have a job as a cashier in a bar and when they save enough will bring with her, but it is not true, you have to take care of the police, pay a living room half-lo evicted in the morning, because the rent is very expensive and suffer beatings from a customer who extort.

In principle rivals in the area known as "Casa de Campo" become friends and when not working are princesses.

Candela Peña, who also starred in "Te Doy Mis Ojos" and "now I hear" to "All About My Mother" plays Caye, the Puerto Rican Micaela Nevarez the of Zule and participates in music Manu Chao, with "Call Me Street", a song that he had downloaded from the internet before, but did not know I had to do with this film. It is my favorite.

Call Me Street

call me street, stepping tiles,
the mischievous and so lost, call me
street, street at night, street by day ...
street call me today so tired, so empty now ...
As little machine for the big city, street

call me, I get to your car, call me
Malegria street, street
hurt, tired of love street ...
go down the street, go up the street, not me nor the life recess
street called me and that is my pride, I know that one day will come,

I know one day my luck will come,
one day I will come to
to find out a good man
pa 'toa life without pay,
my heart is rent ...

street call me, call me street suffered
street, street love so much sadness.
They call me street street street ...

call me street, always daring,
call me street corner to street corner
call me,
stray bullet shot me life so I called Street
disappointment, failure
street, street lost

call me street no future, call me
end street, call me
street street street
that woman's life is up pa'bajo
pa'rriba
down as the big city typewriter

Me call street, they call me street street
suffering, sadness street
much love call me street street street

always call me anytime and call me pretty
always after hours call me bitch
also call me princess street
I call my nobility
street street street
loss suffered much love ...

street call me, call me street street
suffering, sadness street much love ...

Manu Chao

This Thursday and Friday will be at the Cinematheque "Only Against All ", perhaps my favorite movie (or at least one of them). I've spent years looking for her and not get it pirated. It is the second of the Argentine-French Gaspar Noe-after" Meat "and before" Irreversible "-. I I like Noah's film is philosophical and transgressor of his films, just like the Pasolini film. If you can see "Alone," watch it (I do not think I can go see those two days), if they can read Cioran, read it (to me gave me a few weeks ago "That Damn Me" and "The Twilight of Thought"). I note: You might not like.

Tout va bien.
