Despite it is a bit late and I'm sure you saw this already in a lot of sites, as an X-Men fan, I cannot help to write a few words for Dave Cockrum, who passed away sunday morning from complications relating to Diabetes.
For those who don't know, Dave Cockrum and Len Wein co-created the new team of X-Men back in 1975, relaunching the mutant franchise to the top. You can read more about him at Wikipedia.
A pesar de que llego un poco tarde y estoy seguro de que lo habeis leido ya en muchos sitios, como fan de los X-Men no puedo evitar dedicar unas breves palabras a Dave Cockrum, que falleció el domingo por la mañana a causa de unas complicaciones con su diabetes.
Para aquellos que no lo sepan, Cockrum y Wein co-crearon los nuevos X-Men allá en 1975, relanzando la franquicia mutante a lo más alto de todas las listas. Podeis leer más acerca de él en la Wikipedia.
R.I.P., Dave Cockrum
Heroes
I don't like TV. I don't like TV series. Ok, it had its charm to rush home after school to see Oliver and Benji. But you know, you grow up, you have tons of things to do, and you just cannot be in front of the TV at certain time to watch something.
But Internet has changed this, as it has changed many things. You just download the episode and you watch it when you can (that is, AS SOON AS YOU CAN).
A friend suggested me to watch Heroes... and, well, I liked it so much that I saw 8 episodes in two days. And I was going to see the ninth (the last by the moment), when I realized, o fucking shit, that what I downloaded was a TV spot, and not the proper episode. I won't turn off the computer tonight, and tomorrow morning, guess the first thing I'll do...
But let's talk a little bit about the serie. Suddenly, ordinary people are discovering extraordinary abilities. We have Isaac Mendez, sort of Destiny, who can paint the future (but only when he is high). Micah Sanders, kind of Forge. Matt Parkman, the telepath of the serie, still unable to control his recently discovered abilities, and filter what to hear and what not to. Niki Sanders has a dark side hidden inside, and his husband D.L. Sanders is a big, black, Kitty Pride. Nathan Petrelli can fly, his brother Peter Petrelli is sort of Mimic. And my two favourite characters, Claire Bennet, the hot cheerleader which healing factor makes Wolverine look like a moribund, and Hiro Nakamura, who can bend space and time... which means he can stop time, teleport himself and travel back and for to the future... despite he has very little control over his powers.
There they are, among lot of other mutants, while an indian genetist, Mohinder Suresh, is following the steps of his father, trying to discover this extraordinary people, some misterious guys follow and study them, and a guy called Slayton tracks them down and eat their brains.
Tomorrow I'll discover why saving the cheerleader is saving the world.
What are you waiting for watching it!!!

Oye, cacho friki, bajate Heroes, que te gustará - Me dice Adolfo.
No me gusta ver la tele. No me gustan las series. Vale, tenía su encanto eso de salir corriendo de clase para ver Campeones. Pero bueno, creces, tienes un huevo de cosas que hacer, y eso de tener que estar a cierta hora delante de la tele...
Pero Internet ha cambiado eso, como ha cambiado tantas otras cosas. Simplemente te descargas el episodio y lo ves cuando puedes (lo que significa EN CUANTO PUEDES).
Me ha gustado tanto Heroes, que me he visto 8 episodios en 2 días. Y me iba a ver el noveno, cuando he descubierto, puta mierda, que lo que tenía era un puto anuncio! Así que el bicho se queda encendido toda la noche y... adivinad lo primero que haré mañana por la mañana.
Pero hablemos un poco de la serie. De repente, gente normal descubre que tiene habilidades extraordinarias. Tenemos a Isaac Mendez, una especie de Destino, que puede pintar el futuro (por desgracia, solo cuando está hasta el culo de caballo). Micah Sanders, una especie de Forja. Matt Parkman, el telépata de la serie, que aún no es capaz de controlar sus recién descubiertas habilidades, y filtrar qué oír y qué no. Niki Sanders tiene una mitad oscura, y su marido, D.L. Sanders, es como Kitty Pride pero en negro y grande. Nathan Petrelli puede volar, y su hermano Peter Petrelli es algo parecido a Mímico (aunque parece que no puede 'imprintar' los poderes permanentemente). Y mis dos favoritos, Claire Bennet, la tía buenorra con un factor curativo que hace que Lobezno parezca un viejo moribundo, y Hiro Nakamura, que puede curvar el tiempo y el espacio... lo que significa que puede detener el tiempo, teleportarse y viajar en el tiempo... aunque tiene muy poco control sobre estas habilidades.
Y ahí los tenemos, entre otros muchos mutantes, mientras un genetista indio, Mohinder Suresh, sigue los pasos de su padre, tratando de descubrir a esta gente extraordinaria, un grupo de tipos misteriosos los sigue y estudia, y un tal Slayton los persigue para comerse sus cerebros.
Mañana, por fin, descubriré porqué salvar a la animadora es salvar al mundo.
Qué esperas para descargartela!!!

Good movies and beautiful movies
This is a post recovered from my previous blog.
People had tried to clasify movies in as many groups as rock, but the clasiffication I prupose today is much more intense and subjetive. For me, there is a big difference between a good movie and a nice movie.
A good movie raised to n (n tending to infinite) is an awesome movie. Everybody knows what that is; we are talking about movies like 'SW III: The revenge of the Sith', 'LOTR III:The Return of the King', 'Serenity',... some awesome movies are also beautiful movies, but usually we're talking about different things.
A nice movie raised to n (n tending to infinite) is a beautiful movie. Is that kind of movie that perhaps don't have a very big budget, but it has a big story... it touch you, deep inside. In beautiful movies there aren't great explosions, not either epic battles, the good one not always win, and we almost never have a happy ending.
So now I'll let my more romantic and silly vein go out, and I'll talk you about that beautiful movies; Because yes, that lout who complains about people who don't jump and kick at concerts cries with a lot of movies. And with books. And with comics. I have a great gift to get so inside the story sometimes I think all that is happening to me. Who haven't weep even a tear when the sheeps leave the Grey Harbours, don't deserve to live.
This are, according to me, the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. Suggestions are welcomed.
A walk to remember: Based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks, is the typical story about the town's lout who fall in love with the minister's daughter. Anyway, it has some good points. It hasn't a happy ending.
American History X: Both an awesome and a beautiful movie. Derek is a skin-head imprisioned for the murder of two black guys. When he come out, try to transform his little brother, who is keeping his example. He must write a work for his teacher (black) which is intitled 'American History X'. Bad ending.
Backdraft:Action classic. The two sons of a Chicago fireman, who died at dutie, keep after his steps. Bad ending.
Big Fish: surrealistic, beautiful, Tim Burton.
Braveheart:Also an awesome movie. Everybody knows how it ends.
Dying young:Hilary (Julia Roberts) is a pretty young women who fall in love with a boy who suffer from cancer. Guess the end.
El hijo de la novia: Argentinian. Rafael Belvedere is not happy with his life, but a heart attack and some unexpected events will make him rebuild his past and recover his present. Meanwhile, he will give all his support to his father, who wants to fulfil his mother wish: to merry by the church.
I am David:Based on a novel by Ann Holm. It's about a 12 year old boy who scape from a nazi concentration camp and set out on an unbelievable journey searching for his mother. Hey! Here we have one happy ending.
K.Pax: Prot is arrested at Grand Central, but he says he comes from other planet. He is confined in a mental hospital, and the lives of all who meet him will never be the same.
Mar Adentro: No comments. And you all know how it ends.
Million Dollar Baby: Frankie Dunn accepts to train a girl, despite his initial reluctances. Bad ending.
Moulin Rouge: Paris, 1899. Christian, a young man who wants to become a poet, fall in love with a courtesan of the Moulin Rouge. We haven't here a happy ending either (Christian... tell our story). I've seen it at last 6 times. I love it.
The last of the mohicans:Hawkeye is a white adopted by the mohican indians who lives with his father Chingachgook and his brother. This haven't a happy ending either.
The mission:An awesome movie too. Set on the southamerican colonies. Of course, it has a bad ending.
The motorcycle diaries: In 1952, two young argentinians, Ernesto Guevara and Alberto Granado, set out on the journey that will change their lives, to discover the real LatinAmerica. The movie hasn't a bad ending, but we all know how he ended, so it's sad anyway.
The notebook:A man keeps reading an old notebook day after day to a women who he visited in an old people's home. Ain't a happy ending.
Titanic: No comments. And yes, I liked it.
Two brothers: Directed by Jean-Jaques Annaud. It's about two brothers teared appart by hunters. Years after, both tigers meet again in a deathmatch at Prince's arena. It's the most beautiful movie I've ever seen. I was all the fucking movie crying.
Un long dimanche de fianÇailles:At the end of WWI, Mathilde finds out that his fiance Manech is one of the 5 soldiers punished by a martial court.
So that's all by now. You can now laugh at me and my weird liking about tear-jerking movies. Suggestions of other films for the list are always welcomed.
Esta entrada está recuperada de mi antiguo blog.
Las películas se han intentado clasificar en casi tantos subgéneros como el rock, pero la clasificación que os propongo hoy es mucho más visceral, mucho más subjetiva. Para mi, existe una gran diferencia entre una buena película y una película bonita.
Una buena película elevada a n (con n tendiendo a ∞) es un peliculón. Eso sabéis todos muy bien lo que es. Estamos hablando de ‘SW III: The revenge of sith’, ‘LOTR III: The Return of the King’, Serenity,... Hay peliculones que son también películas preciosas, pero generalmente estamos hablando de cosas completamente distintas.
Una película bonita elevada a n (con n tendiendo a ∞) es una película preciosa. Es esa clase de película que sin grandes alardes presupuestarios, sino más bien con una historia emotiva... te toca algo, muy dentro. En las películas bonitas no hay explosiones espectaculares ni batallas épicas, el bueno no siempre gana, y no hay casi ningún final feliz.
Y ahora voy a dejar salir mi vena más sensiblera, romaticucha y babosa y os voy a hablar de esas películas preciosas; porqué sí, el macarra ese que se queja de la gente que no da patadas en los conciertos llora con muchas películas. Y con libros. Y con comics. Tengo una facilidad increíble para meterme tan dentro de la historia que creo que me está pasando a mi. El que no haya tenido ni siquiera una lagrimilla cuando parten las naves de los Puertos Grises ("Bien, aquí, queridos amigos, a la orilla del Mar, termina por fin nuestra comunidad en la Tierra Media ¡Id en paz! No os diré: no lloréis; porque no todas las lágrimas son malas") no merece vivir.
Os dejo, por tanto, con una lista de las, a mi gusto, películas más bonitas, junto con una pequeña sinopsis. Se aceptan sugerencias.
A Walk to Remember (Un paseo para recordar): basada en la exitosa novela del mismo título escrito por Nicholas Sparks, es la típica historia del macarra que se enamora de la modosita. Pero tiene algunos puntos interesantes y no tiene un final feliz.
American History X; es una película preciosa y encima un peliculón. Derek es un skin head que es encarcelado por asesinar a unos negros que pretendían robar su furgoneta. Después de pasar varios años en prisión retorna a su barrio completamente reformado y con la intención de transformar a su hermano pequeño para quien Derek ha sido su modelo a seguir. Éste tiene que escribir una redacción para su profesor (negro), que titula American Histoty X. Termina mal.
Backdraft (Llamaradas); clasicazo del cine de acción basado en catástrofes. Los hijos de un bombero de Chicago, que entregó su vida en el cumplimiento del deber, siguen sus pasos profesionales. Que raro, también termina mal.
Big Fish: surrealista, preciosa, Tim Burton.
Braveheart: también es un peliculón. La ha visto todo el mundo, así que ya sabemos todos que termina mal.
Dying young (Elegir un amor): Hilary (Julia Roberts) es una atractiva joven que vive una vida llena de carencias, hasta que decide contestar a un anuncio periodístico, solicitando una chica atenta y servicial. Acude a una lujosa mansión donde conoce a Victor, un joven que padece un cáncer que todos creen incurable.
El hijo de la novia: Argentina, dirigida por Juan José Campanella, en toque de comedia. Rafael Belvedere no está conforme con la vida que lleva. Pero un infarto y una serie de acontecimientos inesperados le obligarán a rever su situación, reconstruir su pasado y recuperar su presente; por el camino, le ofrecerá apoyo a su padre para cumplir el viejo sueño de su madre: casarse por Iglesia.
I am David: adaptación de la aclamada novela de Ann Holm. Cuenta la historia de un niño de 12 años que logra escapar de un campo de concentración nazi en el este de Europa y de su increible viaje posterior, buscando a su madre. Mira, una que sí termina bien.
K-Pax: Prot es un hombre inofensivo detenido en la Estación Grand Central y que afirma venir de otro planeta; es internado en un psiquiátrico, y la vida de ninguno de los que lo conozcan volverá a ser la misma.
Mar adentro: sin comentarios. Y todos sabeis el final.
Million Dollar Baby: Frankie Dunn ha entrenado y dirigido algunos luchadores increíbles, durante toda una vida pasada en el ring, ahora ha decidido, pese a sus reticencias iniciales, entrenar a una chica. Termina mal.
Moulin Rouge: París, 1899. Christian, un joven que sueña con ser poeta, se enamora de una cortesana del Moulin Rouge. Acaba mal (‘Christian... tell our story’). La he visto por lo menos 6 veces. Me encanta.
The last of the mohicans (El último mohicano): Hawkeye es un blanco adoptado por los indios mohicanos que vive junto a su padre Chingachgook y su hermano. No se puede decir que tenga un final feliz.
The mission (La misión): También es un peliculón, aunque mucha gente la odie porque se la ponían en el cole. Un traficante y aventurero topa en el interior del Paraguay con el jesuita padre Gabriel... Ambientada en la época de la colonización sudamericana. Por supuesto, acaba mal.
The motorcycle diaries (Diarios de motocicleta): En 1952, dos jóvenes argentinos, Ernesto Guevara y Alberto Granado, emprenden un viaje por carretera para descubrir la verdadera América Latina. La película no acaba mal... pero todos sabemos el final que tuvo él. Eso hace el final de la película aún más triste.
The Notebook (El diario de Noah): Un hombre lee una vieja y descolorida libreta a una mujer a la que visita regularmente en la residencia de ancianos. Aunque sus recuerdos se han desvanecido, le fascina la emotiva historia de Allie y Noah y durante unos momentos es capaz de revivir la época apasionada y turbulenta en la que juraron pasar el resto de su vida juntos. Tampoco tiene un típico final feliz.
Titanic: Sin comentarios. Todos sabeis el final.
Two brothers (Dos hermanos): Dirigida por Jean-Jacques Annaud. Erase una vez dos hermanos. Nacidos en el corazón de la selva del sureste asiático, en las ruinas de un templo olvidado siglos atrás, dos tigres crecen jugando y aprendiendo bajo la mirada benevolente de los Buda llenos de musgo y vigilados por sus progenitores. Uno era tímido y dulce y el otro valiente y atrevido. Cuando un ex cazador llega para saquear el templo sagrado, el destino de los dos hermanos cambiará para siempre. El hermano tímido se convierte en estrella de circo con el nombre de Kumal. El valiente se convierte en el querido compañero del hijo del administrador colonial, que le da el nombre de Sangha antes de entregárselo a un príncipe que le enseñará a pelear. En la madurez los dos hermanos vuelven a encontrarse en la arena del príncipe, donde deberán enfrentarse, cara a cara. Es la película más bonita que he visto en mi vida. Me pegué las casi dos horas que dura llorando (si vivierais rodeados de felinos lo entenderiais).
Un long dimanche de fiançailles (Un largo domingo de noviazgo): Cuando la Primera Guerra Mundial se acerca a su fin, para una joven francesa está a punto de comenzar la más grande de las batallas. Mathilde ha recibido la noticia de que su prometido Manech es uno de cinco soldados heridos que han sido sometidos a consejo de guerra y enviados a la tierra de nadie que hay entre los ejércitos francés y alemán… y a una muerte casi segura.
Y esto es todo de momento, hasta que me acuerde de alguna más. Sois libres de ponerme a parir ahora que conoceis mi extraña afición por las películas lacrimógenas. También se aceptan sugerencias para la lista

And that’s when things really get bad.
The men who sent the robot to destroy Wolverine have come to finish the job. The townsfolk who witnessed the crash have gathered up a mob to hunt down and destroy the alien that’s landed. And Wolverine’s fate just might rest in the hands of the strange little girl who first found him in that dark cornfield.

I cannot say I really enjoy CW FL. I think the best part of the comic are the last pages, with real letters and poems from war times. The rest,... well, I think is kind of messy to mix up so many stories in so few pages. 6/10

HELLSTORM: SON OF SATAN #1
The Story: “Equinox,” Part 1 of 5
When the Son of Satan is your best option, God help you.
New Orleans. The Big Easy. The membrane between our world and the underworld has always been a little thinner here. Now, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the outpouring of human misery has drawn demons like sharks to a bloodbath. What better time for Damian Hellstorm --- a.k.a. The Son of Satan -- to pay a visit?
It starts with the doctor who delivers a baby that vanishes into the night. A doctor who is devoured by demons wearing New Orleans PD badges. Demons who work for someone--or something--that’s descended on the Big Easy and doesn’t’ give a damn who Hellstorm or his father is. Something that’s harvesting body parts in a furious race toward unspeakable purposes. This is The Son of Satan as you’ve never seen him before, brought to you by acclaimed novelist Alexander Irvine (The Narrows), with searing art by Russell Braun (Animal Man) and Klaus Janson.

I don't like Humberto Ramos' pencils. Not at all. And the story... well, it can be resumed in the end of the first Wolverine's CW tie-in: 'I been an avenger for a couple'a of months now. And I finally have something to avenge.' 6/10
No me gustan los dibujos de Humberto Ramos. Nada. Y la historia... se puede resumir en el final del primer número del tie-in de Wolverine con CW. 6/10

It's not my favourite stile, nor the plots nor the draws, and besides I think they tried to make something a bit more black and it felt between two waters. Anyway, X-Factor is a different alternative to the classic superheroes comic. I like Layla character. 7/10.
No es mi estilo favorito, ni en los dibujos ni en el argumento, y además creo que intentaron hacer algo más negro y se han quedado entre dos aguas. De todas formas, X-Factor es una propuesta alternativa al típico comic de superheroes. Me gusta el personaje de Layla. 7/10.

David el gnomo
Sorry, this post is only in Spanish.
Hoy estabamos en casa de Xevi hablando del final de David el Gnomo. Y resulta que Carlos no sabia cómo acababa la serie. Ha llegado a casa, borracho de él, y ha buscado en Youtube el último capítulo. Y se ha echado ha llorar. He llegado yo a casa, he visto su email (son las putas seis de la mañana), he buscado el último capítulo de David el gnomo y me he echado a llorar.
Aquí lo tenéis, y el que no llore, por favor, que no vuelva a pasar por aquí.
