As I did in October, here comes the stuff I have read this month. First of all I want to talk about Kevin Smith comics. I read Clerks' comics, Jay and Silent Bob's comics and the special Bluntman and Chronic. They are great. The pencils are quite good (some frames are really great). And the stories are really funny. Besides, if you have seen all Smith's movies, you will really enjoy reading these comics and filling the gaps. I mean, it is supposse that the comics and the movies are complementary. You should read it! Don´t miss the Clerk's cut scene! 10/10
And now, the Marvel stuff:
Como hice en Octubre, aquí viene lo que me he leído este mes. Antes de nada, quisiera hablar de los comics de Kevin Smith. Me he leído los comics de Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob y el especial de Bluntman y Chronic. Son geniales. Los dibujos son buenos (algunas vinetas son geniales). Y las historias son realmente divertidas. Además, si has visto todas las películas de Smith, disfrutarás leyendo los comics y rellenando la historia. Se supone que los comics y las películas son complementarios, así que deberías leerlo! No te pierdas la escena eliminada de Clerks! 10/10
Y ahora, lo de Marvel.)

MOON KNIGHT #6
Conclusion to first story arc!
“Glories Such As These”: It’s never about speed or slick moves or razor-sharp reflexes. It’s about what you can take. It’s about how much pain you can absorb.

HELLSTORM: SON OF SATAN #2
“Equinox,” Part 2 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. Demons who work for someone--or something--that’s harvesting body parts in a furious race toward unspeakable purposes. For Daimon Hellstorm, this means one thing: It’s hunting season. Like Sun Tzu said, “Some battles can be won without firing a single arrow. All you need to do is sow chaos.” And who better to do that than the Son of Satan?
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.

R.I.P., Dave Cockrum
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.
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

The Story: Wolverine has been injured before, but never like this.

Now, after a horrendous descent and fiery crash into a rural Nebraska cornfield, he lies at the edge of death, lapsing in and out of a coma as his body desperately tries to heal. 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. A strange little girl with an affinity for taking care of odd creatures, and whose family holds a deep, dark secret hidden from the light of day... House of Blood and Sorrow is an all new 34-page chilling story just in time for Halloween! Written by David Lapham (Stray Bullets) and illustrated by David Aja (Daredevil, X-Men Unlimited)

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

32 PGS./Rated T+ ...$2.99
I love this serie. Maybe Paco Medina is not the best drawer in the world, but he is quite good. Nice chicks (Laura and Nori can compete with Rachel and Betsy, no doubt that for a second), very powerful guys (ok, maybe sometimes Hellion is just too powerful), and interesting stories. 7/10
Me encanta esta serie. Puede que Paco Medina no sea el mejor dibujante del mundo, pero está bastante bien. Tias buenas (Laura y Nori pueden competir con Rachel y Betsy, no lo dudes un segundo), tios poderosos (vale, a veces se pasan un pelo con Hellion) e historias interesantes. 7/10

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.

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.

A very interesting story, just lest hope the end would be up to it. And even if Bachalo is not my favourite drawer... well, the guy has some style. 8/10
Una historia interesante, esperemos que el final esté a la altura. Y aunque Bachalo no es mi dibujante favorito... bueno, el tio tiene estilo. 8/10
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.
See ya in hell
This is a post I wanted to recover from my old blog.
I don't know how many of you have read Dante's Divine Comedy. In it, the poet gives us a complete description of Hell, Purgatory and Heaven, divided in circles. At the second circle of Hell awaits you Minos, who was king of Crete three generations before the war of Troya: son of Zeus and Europa, brother of Radamantis and Sarpedón. He is suposed to have been the first civilizing Crete, and ruled its people with justice and goodness, giving them superb laws. Radamantis is known for writing the Cretish Code, which was the model for many other greek cities. By their justice skills, Minos and Radamantis were instituted as judges in Hell. Minos had a lot of love affairs, and he is suposed to have invented pederasty, that's why he presides the circle of lust; and because he was a fair ruler, he is the one who judges the deads.
Surfin' around the web I found a test that plays Minos' roleCanto V
My results are below. In sixth circle the heretics groan, buried in fire sepulchres. It could be worst. You are sitting or laying all day, and you can talk for eternity. Besides, I'm sure the company there is great. I guess it would be worst to stay in the second circle...
"a place mute of all light, that bellows as the sea does in a tempest, if it be combated by opposing winds. The infernal hurricane that never rests carries along the spirits in its rapine; whirling and smiting it molests them. When they arrive before its rushing blast, here are shrieks, and bewailing, and lamenting; here they blaspheme the power divine".
Despite I'm sure I'll be in very good female company (Cleopatra and Helena from Troy are there)... being all day from here to there carried by the wind... just for a while, like an extreme sport, it's O.K., butI'm pretty sure you get tired very soon. I hope they don't give you nothing to eat in Hell, otherwise lustfuls will be bringing up all the time.
So... See ya in Hell!!The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
| Level | Score |
|---|---|
| Purgatory (Repenting Believers) | Very Low |
| Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers) | Very Low |
| Level 2 (Lustful) | Extreme |
| Level 3 (Gluttonous) | Moderate |
| Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious) | Very High |
| Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy) | Very High |
| Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics) | Extreme |
| Level 7 (Violent) | Moderate |
| Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers) | High |
| Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous) | Very High |
Take the Dante Inferno Hell Test
Este es un post recuperado de mi antiguo blog.
No se cuantos de vosotros habeis leido La Divina Comedia, de Dante Alighieri. Para aquellos que no lo sepan, en ella se hace una descripcion del Infierno, el Purgatorio y el Cielo, estructurados en niveles. A la entrada del segundo círculo del Infierno, te espera Minos. Minos fue un rey de la isla de Creta tres generaciones antes de la guerra de Troya: era hijo de Zeus y de Europa, y tuvo por hermanos a Radamantis y a Sarpedón. Pasa por ser el primero que civilizó a los cretenses, los gobernó con justicia y bondad y les dio excelentes leyes. A Radamantis se le atribuía la redacción del código cretense que sirvió de modelo a varias ciudades griegas. Por sus dotes justicieros Minos y Radamantis fueron instituidos jueces en el Infierno. Se le atribuía a Minos toda clase de aventuras amorosas, y la invención de la pederastia. Por eso preside el círculo de los lujuriosos, y por haber sido un justo gobernante, tiene el atributo de juzgar a los muertos.
Webeando por ahí encontré un test que hace el papel de Minos
CANTO QUINTO
Así descendí del primer círculo al segundo, que contiene menos espacio, pero mucho más dolor, y dolor punzante, que origina desgarradores gritos. Allí estaba el horrible Minos que, rechinando los dientes, examina las culpas de los que entran; juzga y da a comprender sus órdenes por medio de las vueltas de su cola. Es decir, que cuando se presenta ante él un alma pecadora, y le confiesa todas sus culpas, aquel gran conocedor de los pecados ve qué lugar del infierno debe ocupar y se lo designa, ciñéndose al cuerpo la cola tantas veces cuantas sea el número del círculo a que debe ser enviada. Ante él están siempre muchas almas, acudiendo por turno para ser juzgadas; hablan y escuchan, y después son arrojadas al abismo.
Yo he ido a parar al sexto círculo. En el sexto círculo gimen los herejes metidos en sepulcros de fuego. Podría haber sido peor. Estás sentado o tumbado todo el día, y puedes charlar tranquilament por el resto de la eternidad. Además, seguro que la compañía es genial. Probablemente hubiera sido peor acabar en el segundo círculo, ..." ...un lugar que carecía de luz, y que rugía como el mar tempestuoso cuando está combatido por vientos contrarios. La tromba infernal, que no se detiene nunca, envuelve en su torbellino a los espíritus; les hace dar vueltas continuamente, y los agita y les molesta: cuando se encuentran ante la ruinosa valla que los encierra, allí son los gritos, los llantos y los lamentos, y las blasfemias contra la virtud divina."
A pesar de estar en compañía de hembras maravillosas (Cleopatra y Helena de Troya están ahí),... eso de estar todo el día llevado por el aire de un lado para otro... un rato como deporte extremo vale, pero estoy seguro de que luego cansa. Menos mal que en el infierno no te dan de comer, porque acabarían todos los lujuriosos echando la cena.El test está en inglés, pero es muy facilito.
Nos vemos en el Infierno
X-Men, the End - Spoiler Warning
I just finished reading the third book of X-Men, the End, written by Chris Claremont, and drawed by Sean Chen, with covers by Greg Land.
It is not the master piece they pretend it to be, and the story gets a bit too twisted for me in some parts (specially in the third book), but it is somehow coherent, and if you consider that Claremont has been who has written more (and probably best) X-Men stories, it corresponds to him to write theirs last and more epic story.
Every story has an end. And this is the end of the X-Men. It digs deep in their relationships, their ghosts from the past, their allies, their foes,... It is about how lifetime enemies ally to destroy the X-Men, about how they fight back, and about the consequences of all it.
In the end, the X-Men have to end.
Spoiler warning.
In the first book, events are set in motion.
The story starts with a girl, Aliyah Bishop, daughter of Bishop and Deathbird (Lilandra's older sister). The Shi'Ar empire is in Chaos, and she is following a group of Krees who are trading with slavers. Suddenly she is in the middle of a war between the Brood, the Kree and the Skrulls. She manage to get away with Nocturne (who was slaved and brainwashed) and Jean Grey... the weapon the Kree were buying to the slavers.
The X-Men are attacked in several locations by warskrulls, what make them think they could be at war with the Shi'Ar.
Following his own agenda, Sinister ambush X-Factor and call Gambit in an old debt, and he gets both Gambit and Rogue's and Cyclops and Emma's children.
Meanwhile, The Queen Goblin, Genesis and Stryfe attack and destroy the X-Mansion. Casualties are hard to count. When the anti-matter reactor collapses... they saw the fireball in Washington.
Long time ago, Destiny wrote her 'Books of Truth'... one of her prophecies stands
'Phoenix's fall shall be the X-Men's bane,
Phoenix reborn shall herald their doom'.
Book two leaves us some very emotive moments, as Rogue's dead.
In book three The X-Men travel to Shi'Ar throne world, Chandilar, to fight their last and more epic fight, against Khan, Cassandra Nova, Phoenix and the Brood.
Acabo de terminar el tercer libro de X-Men, The End (ni idea de a que altura se está publicando en España), escrito por Chris Claremont, con dibujos de Sean Chen y portadas de Greg Land.
No es la obra maestra que publicitaban, y la historia es un pelo retorcida en algunos momentos (sobre todo en el tercer libro), pero tiene su coherencia, y si consideramos que Claremont ha sido quien más ha escrito (y probablemente el autor de las mejores historias) de los X-Men, le corresponde a él el ponerle el broche final.
Toda historia tiene un fin, y esta es el fin de los X-Men. La historia se hunde en las relaciones entre los miembros del grupo, los fantasmas del pasado, los amigos, los enemigos,... Trata acerca de cómo los enemigos de toda la vida se alían para acabar con los X-Men, cómo éstos reaccionan, y las consecuencias de todo ello.
Al final, los X-Men tienen que desaparecer.
Spoiler warning.
En el libro uno, las piezas se van poniendo en juego.
La historia empieza con una chica, Aliyah Bishop, hija de Bishop y Deathbird (la hermana mayor de Lilandra). EL Imperio Shi'Ar está en caos, y ella se encuentra siguiendo a un grupo de Krees negociando con tratantes de esclavos. De repente, se ve inmersa en medio de una batalla entre el Nido, los Kree y los Skrulls. Consigue escapar con Nocturna (quien había sido capturada por los tratantes de esclavos, y era usada como 'sabueso') y Jean Grey... el arma definitiva que los Kree querían comerciar con los tratantes.
En la Tierra, los X-Men son atacados en distintos sitios por warskrulls, lo que les hace pensar que pueden estar siendo atacados por los Shi'Ar.
Pero siguiendo su propia agenda, embosca a X-Factor, y se cobra una antigua deuda con Gambito haciéndole entregarle los hijos de Ciclope y Emma, y los suyos propios.
Mientras tanto, La Reina Duende, Genesis y Stryfe atacan y destruyen la Mansión. Las bajas son imposibles de calcular. Cuando el reactor de anti-materia de la Mansion colapsa,... la bola de fuego se llega a ver en Washington.
Algún tiempo atrás, Destino escribió sus diarios. Una de sus profecias dice
'Phoenix's fall shall be the X-Men's bane,
Phoenix reborn shall herald their doom'.
(traducido sería algo así como
'La caída del Fenix será la ruina de los X-Men,
El resurgir del Fenix será heraldo de su perdición)
El libro dos nos deja algunos momentos muy emotivos, como la muerte de Picara.
En el libro tres, los X-Men viajan al Chandilar, capital del Imperio Shi'Ar, donde se enfrentarán en su última y más épica batalla a Khan, Cassandra Nova, Fenix y el Nido

Cuanto tardan nuestras huellas en desaparecer?
How long will take to our marks to go? If our specie wiped out right now...
- Inmediatly: Most of the endangered species would start to recover.
- 24-48 hours: Light polution is over.
- 3 months: Atmospheric polution (nitrogen and sulfur oxids) cuts off.
- In 10 years: Methane would dissapear from the atmosphere.
- In 20 years: Rural roads and little towns would be covered by vegetation. Geneticaly modified harvests dissapear.
- In 50 years: Sea species population recovers. Nitrates and phosphates disspaear from the water.
- Between 50 and 100 years: Streets and buildings in the cities would ve covered by vegetation.
- 100 years: Wooden buildings would fall to pieces.
- 100 to 200 years: Bridges crumble.
- In 200 years: Metal and cristal buildings fall to pieces. The 'grain belt' in the USA is a meadow again.
- In 250 years: The dams would crumble.
- In 500 years: Coral regenerates.
- Between 500 and 1.000 years: Most of the organic waste in the rubish dumps decomposes.
- 1.000 years: Most of the stone, concret and brick buildings has dissapeared; the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere is back at it pre-industrial level.
- 50.000 years: Most of the plastic and cristal would decompose.
- After 50.000 years the existence of mankind is marked just by some archeological remains. but some chemical man-made products wouldn't dissapear until 200.000 years after and radiactive waste could still be lethal two million years after.
(Treehugger vía Boing Boing; The article Imagine Earth without people explains it with more detail.)
Come one people!! We are still in time to save our planet!! Hold our hands all together towards extinction!!!¿Cuánto tiempo tardarían nuestras huellas en desaparecer?
- Inmediatamente: La mayoría de las especies en peligro empezarían a recuperarse.
- 24-48 horas: La contaminación lumínica se acabaría.
- 3 meses: La polución atmosférica (nitrógeno y óxidos de azufre) se va reduciendo.
- En 10 años: Desaparecería el metano de la atmósfera.
- En 20 años: Las carreteras rurales y pueblos quedarían cubiertos por la vegetación. Desaparecen las cosechas genéticamente modificadas.
- En 50 años: Se recupera la población de especies marinas. Desaparecen los nitratos y fosfatos del agua.
- Entre 50 y 100 años: Las calles y edificios de las ciudades quedan cubiertos por la vegetación.
- 100 años: Los edificios de madera se desmoronan.
- 100 a 200 años: Los puentes se caen.
- En 200 años: Los edificios de metal y cristal se desmoronan; el cinturón de grano de los Estados Unidos vuelve a ser una pradera.
- En 250 años: Las presas se derrumban.
- En 500 años: Los corales se regeneran.
- Entre 500 y 1.000 años: la mayoría del contenido orgánico de los vertederos se descompone.
- 1.000 años: La mayoría de los edificios de ladrillo, piedra y cemento han desaparecido; el dióxido de carbono en la atmósfera vuelve a sus niveles pre-industriales.
- 50.000 años: La mayoría de los plásticos y cristales se descomponen.
- Después de 50.000 años la existencia de la humanidad queda marcada básicamente por sólo algunos restos arqueológicos…
- Pero algunos productos químicos fabricados por el hombre sólo desaparecerían después de 200.000 años y la basura radiactiva puede seguir siendo mortal durante hasta dos millones de años.

Vamos gente!! Aun estamos a tiempo de salvar el planeta!! Juntos de la mano hacia la extincion!!!Guerra sí, sexo no?? / Yes to War , No to sex ??
For a long time we had to bear with stupid (and when I say stupid I mean really STUPID) parent, religious and family associations that have nothing better to do with their misserable lives that forbid the rest of the world to enjoy their lifes.
I mean, it's OK for me if you don't wanna practice sex until you are married, if you don't wanna listen to heavy metal because it's satanic, if you don't wanna watch cartoons or whatever, but... what the fuck do you care what I do with my fucking life!!!
I'm sure all of you remember the controversy about I dunno what sexual message in the clouds of The Lion King, I'm sure in your country (whichever it is) there has been controversy about South Park, and I'm damm sure in every little corner of this wretched world there is an asshole thinking about prohibiting anyone else to have fun.
I'm now living in Sweden, but anyway I echo the complains in Cosas de Frikis about the last one of this attitudes in Spain. There is a TV channel, called La sexta (The sixth), that was broadcasting hentai series in late-night timetable. One of those stupid associations sued them, and they stopped broadcasting it, but after the millions of emails, letters and calls from viewers complaining about the cancellation of the serie, they started broadcasting again.
Ole tus huevos, like we say in Spain.
I wan't to say a few thing to these fascist, reactionary, peasants of Sunday mass: If you don't wanna watch, don't. If you don't wanna listen, don't. If you don't want your children to do something, forbid them.
Cartoons are not anly for children, watching hentai doesn't make us perverts and playing role games doesn't make us serial killers.
You think is better for your children to play with guns and watch GIJoe than playing Larry and watching Hentai? Your problem, not ours. You are not making a better world for the next generations, you are making a more censured world.
Why don't you put all this enthusiasm reporting seals and whales massacres, animal mistreat, toxic waste, nuclear contamination or war?
Do us a favour.
Durante mucho tiempo hemos tenido que aguantar esas estúpidas (y cuando digo estúpidas me refiero a ESTUPIDAS) asociaciones religiosas, de padres o familiares, que no tienen nada mejor que hacer con sus miserables vidas que prohibir al resto del mundo disfrutar de las suyas.
A ver, me parece genial si no quereis tener sexo hasta el matrimonio, si no quereis escuchar heavy metal porque es satánico, si no quereis ver dibujos animados o lo que sea... pero que coño os importa lo que yo haga con mi puta vida!
Estoy seguro de que todos recordais la polémica con nosequé supuestos mensages sexuales en las nubes de El Rey León. Estoy seguro de que en vuestro país, sea el que sea, ha habido polémica con SouthPark, y estoy seguro de que en el más pequeño rincón de este podrido mundo hay algún gilipollas pensando en prohibir a otro que se divierta.
Ahora estoy viviendo en Suecia, pero de todas formas, me hago eco del último post en Cosas de Frikis acerca de la última de estas actitudes que hemos tenido en España. Para los que no lo sepan, La Sexta emitía, en horario de madrugada, series de temática hentai. Hasta que una de estas estúpidas asociaciones los denunció, y dejaron de emitir. Pero ante el aluvión de emails, cartas y llamadas pidiendo que se reanudara... empezaron a emitir otra vez.
Ole tus huevos.
Quisiera decir un par de cosas a estos fascistas retrógrados meapilas de misa del domingo (como si alguno lo fuera a leer, pero bueno): si no quereis mirar, no mireis. Si no quereis escuchar, no escucheis. Si no quereis que vuestros hijos hagan algo, prohibidselo.
Los dibujos animados no son sólo para niños, ver hentai no nos hace pervertidos ni jugar al rol nos convierte en asesinos en serie.
Creeis que es mejor para vuestros hijos jugar con pistolas y ver GIJoe que jugar a Larry y ver Hentai? Vuestro problema, no el nuestro. No estais haciendo un mundo mejor para las futuras generaciones, estais haciendo un mundo más censurado.
Porqué no volcais todo ese entusiasmo en denunciar las matanzas de focas y ballenas, el maltrato animal, vertidos tóxicos, contaminación nuclear o la guerra?
Haced el favor.
Best SouthPark Episode Ever
I really love South Park. I love to have dinner enjoying a South Park episode, and yesterday I saw the, in my view, best South Park episode ever. I thought the Rainforest episode was great, but this one is awesome!!
Best Friends Forever is hilarant, and parodies Constantine, Bush and LOTR, among others. The battle is full of 'LOTR-moments' really, really fun.
Spoiler warning.
Best Friends Forever starts when Cartman wakes his mother up; he needs her to get him to the toy store early so that he can be the first to get the new Sony PSP. When he arrives he sees there is a long line, with Kenny at the front of it. (Don't ask me how it is that Kenny has 250 bucks to get it).
Because he was first, Kenny got his PSP, but Cartman wasn’t as lucky. Kenny has found something he is really good at, he’s been playing the game “Heaven and Hell” for two weeks, day and night, doing anything else but playing. After he reaches level 60 he gets killed by a truck driver who is busy playing his own PSP.
It turnes out that God created the PSP to found somebody able to lead the Heaven Army against the army of Satan. Thus Kenny’s spirit rises up towards heaven, where he is met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter, who tells him that heaven needs him. Archangel Michael tells Kenny that basically he is Keanu Reeves. Kenny is given a golden PSP to control the army of heaven, but then Kenny disappears because he has been revived, but only in a “persistive vegetative state.” He is a fucking tomato.
Among Kenny's friends starts an argument about whether they must kept him alive with machine aid or they should let him go. The dispute goes even to TV,... which turnes out at the end was precisely what Kenny wanted to avoid in his will.
Eventually they leave Kenny alone to die in peace. In the kingdom of heaven, the battle is raging and Kenny arrives to take control of the golden PSP. The epic battle rages and Kenny manages to defeat the army of Satan. Heaven is saved and Kenny is given a special reward, a statue of Keanu Reeves.
Me encanta South Park. Me encanta cenar disfrutando de un capítulo de South Park, y ayer vi el que para mi es el mejor capítulo de South Park. Pensaba que el de la selva amazónica era genial, pero este es la puta caña.
Best Friends Forever es para partirse la caja, y entre otras cosas, hace parodia de Constantine, Bush y ESDLA. La batalla está plagada de momentos ESDLA geniales.
Contiene spoilers.
Best Friends Forever empieza con Cartman despertando a su madre. Es el día del lanzamiento de la PSP y tiene que llegar a la tienda antes que nadie. Pero cuando llega hay una cola enorme, y el primero de todos esta Kenny. (no me pregunteis de donde ha sacado la pasta).
Kenny consigue su PSP, y Cartman no. La consola viene con el juego "Heaven and Hell", en el que Kenny es extraordinariamente bueno. Lleva dos semanas jugando, sin hacer nada más, y acaba de llegar al nivel 60 cuando muere atropellado por un camión (cuyo conductor, por cierto, iba jugando a la PSP).
Resulta que la PSP la ha creado Dios para encontrar a alguien capaz de liderar al Ejercito del Cielo contra las huestes de Satan ante un inminente ataque. Así que el espíritu de Kenny llega al cielo, donde San Pedro le recibe, y el Arcangel Miguel le dice que es una especie de Keanu Reeves. Le dan una PSP dorada con la que dirigirá a las tropas celestiales, pero al momento desaparece... ha sido revivido en la Tierra, aunque permanece en 'estado vegetativo persistente'. Es un puto tomate.
Entre los amigos de Kenny comienza una pelea para decidir si deben mantener a Kenny vivo con la ayuda de las máquinas o si deben dejarlo morir. La disputa llega inluso a la TV... que resulta que era precisamente lo que Kenny había especificado en su testamento que NO debían dejar que ocurriera.
Finalmente, dejan a Kenny morir en paz. En el Reino de los Cielos, la batalla está en su auge, y Kenny llega a tiempo de tomar el control de la PSP dorada, derrotando al ejército de Satán. El CIelo es salvado, y como premio Kenny recibe una estatua de Keanu Reeves.
