Josie Maran

Josie Maran, ya saben lo que pienso... Hay otras fotos aquí (incluso desnuda), pero ya deducen que esta es la que puedo mostrar por su inocencia. Esta niña nacida el 8 May 1978, en Menlo Park(California, USA) y de 1´70 de estatura, sale en El Aviador. A decir verdad no recuerdo en que secuencia. 

El sol del membrillo. Victor Erice

Erice dice que "la pintura y el cine entran en relación". En realidad, la grandeza de esta magistral obra, gigantesca en la simplicidad, reside en la descripción terriblemente minuciosa y poética del proceso creativo. Erice es un director que logra vivir en esa sutil dificultad. Capta lo inasible, lo abstracto, lo inmanente: la perdida, la idea, la creación, etc. 

En mi gran espacio libre, encuentro en este DVD impropia del mercado español un universo en el que perderme, viendo sufrir a Antonio Lopez. Un pintor obsesivo que lucha con los detalles de lo físico. Su realismo es de una precisión exasperante. La charla con la mujer china es sublime. Una clase de perspectiva. 

El juego de las dos disciplinas es increiblemente vivo. El ojo de la cámara impone sus límites, evidenciando unas diferencias en el formato del encuadre, la profundidad de campo o el color. Este dvd se puede ver mil veces. 

 

Existió Kavafis?

Ultima imagen de Kavafis  

¿Que hacer con alguien que durante toda su vida se propuso borrar las huellas dejadas y ser recordado exclusivamente por sus poemas? Kostandinos Kavafis (Alejandría, 1863-1933) hace dificil la biografia y asi lo dice el autor en EL MUNDO: "Kavafis, fuera de sus poemas, no existe".

Locos como Panero

• Leopoldo Maria Panero
  Escucha en las noches cómo se rasga la seda y cae sin ruido la taza de té al suelo como una magia tú que sólo palabras dulces tienes para los muertos y un manojo de flores llevas en la mano para esperar a la Muerte que cae de su corcel, herida por un caballero que la apresa con sus labios brillantes y llora por las noches pensando que le amabas, y dice sal al jardín y contempla cómo caen las estrellas y hablemos quedamente para que nadie nos escuche ven, escúchame hablemos de nuestros muebles tengo una rosa tatuada en la mejilla y un bastón con empuñadura en forma de pato y dicen que llueve por nosotros y que la nieve es nuestra y ahora que el poema expira te digo como un niño, ven he construido una diadema (sal al jardín y verás cómo la noche nos envuelve).

Alone in the dark

Nunca me reí tanto leyendo criticas de una pelicula. Hay que verla. Incluyo solo algunas. El resto en RottenTomatoes.com.

Stephen Holden The New York Times. "This horror film, spun off from an old Atari video game, is so inept on every level, you wonder why the distributor didn't release it straight to video, or better, toss it directly into the trash."

"Alone in the Dark doesn't even deserve the indignity of going straight-to-video" -- Christian Toto , WASHINGTON TIMES

"Somewhere, Ed Wood is resting pretty comfortably right now."

-- Scott Weinberg, EFILMCRITIC.COM

"(Christian) Slater and (Tara) Reid share quite possibly the most awkward love scene ever recorded on film."-- Larry Ratliff, SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS "This is jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring, 'I-can't- believe-someone- made-this-crap' badness we're dealing with."-- Dustin Putman, THEMOVIEBOY.COM "As video game adaptations go, even Pong: The Movie would have a lot more personality."-- Michael Rechtshaffen, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

Kelly Brook´s nude scenes

La modosita Kelly Brook sale en pelotas en un filmete rescatado. Su novio Mr Zane fracasa al intentar retirarla. 

Los de Fleshbot se cachondean: 

"Note to actress Kelly Brook : If you have a problem with a studio releasing a film with your nude scenes intact, make sure you state that in your contract first. Or, like, just keep your clothes on to begin with. (Oh, and p.s.: We think you're hot. Don't tell Billy.) (sky.com - thanks Rob)"

Dicen que es la mujer mas bella del mundo. Empieza su carrera en USA y se duda del gran vacio que existe en su carrera y su capacidad para negociarlo (ver EL MUNDO, ayer): ¿cual es ese dilema?

Esto si es un trio. Dilema: Nadie la ha besado en pantalla. Todo el mundo en la India espera ver llegar ese momento. A mi no me gusta su cuerpo... Su cara es perfecta.

Sabato

Ernesto Sabato; ABADDON EL EXTERMINADOR

"Pasé un día malo, querido B., me están sucediendo cosas que no puedo explicar, pero mientras tanto y por eso mismo trato de aferrarme a este universo diurno de las ideas. La tentación del universo platónico! Más grande es el tumulto interior, más tremendas son las presiones que nos acosan, más nos sentimos inclinados a buscar un orden en las ideas. Siempre me pasó eso, pero deberia decir que siempre pasa eso. Fijate en el célebre griego armonioso con que nos llenaron la cabeza en el colegio secundario: es un invento del siglo XVIII, y forma parte de ese arsenal de los lugares comunes en que encontrarás también la firma de los británicos y el espíritu de medida de los franceses. Las mortíferas y angustiosas tragedias griegas bastarían para aniquilar esa tontería si no tuviéramos pruebas más filosóficas, y particularmente la invención del platonismo. Cada uno busca lo que no tiene, y si Sócrates busca la Razón es precisamente porque la necesita con urgencia contra sus pasiones: todos los vicios se leían en su cara, recordarás? Sócrates inventó la Razón porque era un insensato y Platón repudió al arte porque era un poeta. Lindos antecedentes para estos propiciadores del Principio de Contradicción! Como ves, la lógica no sirve ni para sus inventores."

Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day  

 
Hoy, en mi ociosidad, vi que era el "día de la marmota" en USA y aproveché para rescatar el filmete. Como ocurría en la película (la ma-ra-vi-llo-sa 'Atrapado en el tiempo') y siguiendo la tradición-leyenda, cuando la marmota Phil sale de su letargo en el pueblo estadounidense de Punxsutawney (Pensilvania), quedan seis semanas de invierno. Y hoy, Phil se ha dejado ver. 

Punxsutawney is one of the most famous small towns in America thanks to a furry little guy named Punxsutawney Phil. Every year on Groundhog Day (February 2), thousands of people make the trek to Gobbler's Knob to hear Punxsutawney Phil's prediction for the length of winter.

Miedo me da, U.G.

"The search ends with the realization that there is no such thing as enlightenment. By searching, you want to be free from the self, but whatever you are doing to free yourself from the self is the self. How can I make you understand this simple thing? There is no 'how'. If I tell you that, it will only add more momentum to that...." --U.G.

Walking meditation. Thich Nhat Hanh

Hoy me compré un libro de Thich Nhat Hanh. Como me paso el dia pateando calles, buscando empleo, atento a que suene el movil salvífico, no encontré mejor forma de mejorar mi "calidad humana": meditar caminando.

• Thich Nhat Hanh was born in Vietnam in 1926, and left home as a teenager to become a Zen monk. In Vietnam, he founded the Van Hanh Buddhist University and was chairman of the Vietnamese Buddhist Peace Delegation during the Vietnam War. Thich Nhat Hanh was nominated by Martin Luther King, Jr. for the Nobel Peace Prize. Since 1966, Mr. Hanh has lived in exile in France, where he continues writing, teaching, gardening, and helping refugees worldwide.
• Me compre este. Es pequeñito y lo llevo en el bolsillo del abrigo. Aqui se llama "El largo camino lleva a la alegría": La practica de la meditación andando. Editorial ONIRO. Gratitud por las fotos a Plum Village, France.

No, I am not crying.

I hold my face in my two hands.

To keep my loneliness warm

Two hands, protecting,

Two hands, nourishing,

Two hands preventing

My soul from leaving me in anger.

LARA FLYNN BOYLE Airlines

• Boyle, ¿esta, como yo, loca?

FLYNN BOYLE'S 'SCANDALOUS NUDE FLIGHT'

Movie beauty LARA FLYNN BOYLE has been accused of stripping nude and trying to seduce a fellow passenger during a recent first-class flight to London. Passengers claim the star started behaving strangely halfway through the ten-hour British Airways journey from Los Angeles to the capital's Heathrow Airport. But they were stunned when she stripped off her clothes and tried to climb into the bed of a sleeping stranger, reports British newspaper THE MAIL ON SUNDAY. Our chronically panting sibling site Defamer conjectures that "the accosted man probably fell asleep watching 'Attack of the Undead, Anorexic, Former Jack Nicholson Bangers' and mistook his inevitable nightmares for a midair encounter with Boyle". We'd guess it had more to do with an alcoholic hallucination involving one too many miniature bottles of Chivas Regal and an actual inflight screening of one of Lara's eminently forgettable late-career roles in "Speaking of Sex", "Susan's Plan", or "Afterglow"-shots from all of which you'll find after the jump.

Piensa positivo...

• Unemployment & suicide. Quita, quita.

Unemployment steals our self-respect, damages the quality of our lives, changes our personal relationships, and undermines our faith in society, our friends, and ourselves. It’s a crisis that can’t be fully understood until you experience it personally. As it continues, your situation worsens; and the more important it becomes that you somehow learn to cope. 

BEGIN BY ACCEPTING A FEW FACTS Emotions of anger, depression, fear, guilt, despair, and isolation are normal. Your situation is not unique. Your problem is shared by millions of others who are unemployed. Many of those cases are not as critical as yours. Others are worse. Your situation is not static. If you persist in your search for work, you will find a job. How well you cope in the meantime will depend on the quality of your attitudes, feelings, and actions. You have the ability to control your attitudes, feelings, and actions.

KNOW THE PITFALLS 

 Immobilization is the inability to move or to act toward changing your situation. It’s staying at home; sleeping a lot; putting off until tomorrow what you don’t see much sense in doing today; not making the phone calls you meant to make; and going around in a daze. Immobilization is putting everything on “hold.” People who are unemployed are sometimes immobilized to the point of not being able to file for unemployment insurance benefits or other services, even though they desperately need the help and know they are eligible to receive it. And they don’t even know why they don’t do what they don’t do. Immobilization is a symptom of severe depression.
 
Depression doesn’t necessarily mean crying all the time. Frequently, the depressed person seems to be functioning normally with the possible exceptions of seeming a little withdrawn or being in a bad mood. Of all the pitfalls, depression is probably the most dangerous because it starts feeling comfortable. You can begin to like it. Sometimes, your depression nets you some attention you otherwise would not have received. And there’s another reason it’s dangerous. It gets better; or it gets worse. Unless and until you turn it around, it gets worse; and the worse it gets the more difficult it is to turn around. That’s bad enough, but there is a face-saving factor here too. After all, how can you—after going around for days, weeks, or months with a long face—suddenly give all that up and start smiling again? How? You just do it. 

You make a conscious decision to alter your frame of mind. It’s difficult, but it’s better than the alternative of going through life depressed. 

Paranoia is difficult to avoid at a time life has dealt a dirty blow. It’s easy to convince yourself that you’re the victim of some big conspiracy because you’re too young, or too old, or a woman, or a man, or a minority, or too tall, or too short, or too smart, or not smart enough, or too outspoken, or too soft-spoken. While all of the above would be more interesting reasons for unemployment, it is probably more realistic—and undeniably more productive—to assume that you are not being singled out. You’re unemployed because of the economy; because there aren’t enough jobs to go around; because you had the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time; or for any of a million other reasons all of which are beyond your control. But some paranoia is justified. Unfortunately, your family, friends, and associates are not psychologists. More often than not, they aren’t very good at dealing with someone who is unemployed. Consequently, they seem to develop the knack of saying all of the wrong things, like, “Maybe if you didn’t do this, or change the way you do that...” Things that ultimately translate to a rejection of who and what you are. Or they may avoid you. They don’t mean to; and they don’t even realize they’re doing it. On a subconscious level you frighten them and threaten their sense of security. They don’t know what to say to you. They are afraid that any of their good fortunes—no matter how insignificant—might depress you. It is important for your sake that you understand their behavior. 

Expect it. Accept it. Forgive it. Then, focus your energy on changing it. Let your friends know that you have no intention of becoming a recluse, and that you welcome invitations. Discuss your unemployment openly and frankly; and whenever possible, use your sense of humor about it.
 
Anger Of course you’re angry. You have every right to be. You want to work, but you don’t have a job. And chances are you’re not even sure at whom to direct your anger. While anger is a negative emotion, there is a great deal of energy behind it that can be put to positive use. That same energy can stimulate your imagination and put some innovation in your search for work. That same energy can be used to better organize and accelerate your work search. It can be directed toward a multitude of positive, productive accomplishments.
 
Isolation can be a by-product of anger, paranoia, depression, or immobilization. And not having any money can isolate you, too. But there are other reasons we become isolated when we’re unemployed. We’re embarrassed, so we avoid people. Obviously, we assume the blame and the shame for our unemployment. In addition to being counterproductive and futile, this kind of unnecessary guilt trip is, in all probability, totally without justification. Sometimes we keep to ourselves out of a misguided concern for others, in that we’re afraid our presence is depressing; or because we want to avoid making others feel uncomfortable. The key word here is “misguided.” Your family, friends, neighbors, and contacts are more important now than they’ve ever been. You need their help and support.
 
A Sagging Self-Image seems inevitable at this juncture. You have no money, and no paycheck to remind you that somebody thinks you are worthwhile. This is one area that requires constant work. You had a job before and you will find one again. Concentrate on your strengths and assets. Review them daily. Write them on your bathroom mirror, because those strengths and assets will be your survival.
 
Loss Of Identity After asking your name, they want to know what you do for a living. When you were working, that was easy. Now, what do you say? This situation won’t be so painful if you prepare a response. Without hesitation, look them straight in the eye and say, “I’m a very good mechanic and I’m looking for a job.” Or, “I used to be a secretary, but I’m looking for something in sales.” Don’t be at a loss for words or apologetic about your situation. Instead, seize the moment to promote your job search. If you choose not to indicate your unemployment, simply state a job title you’re comfortable with such as “I’m an accountant” or “I’m a salesperson.”

Fatigue is the direct result of any or all of the above, from immobilization to loss of identity. Other contributing factors might include a subconscious desire to escape through sleep; worry and anxiety over your situation; insomnia (caused by worry and anxiety over your situation); or just plain boredom. And drinking too much, smoking too much, eating too much, or doing anything too much tends to fatigue, also. A healthful diet (even though you’ve lost your appetite), physical exercise (despite the fact you have no energy), and restful sleep are the obvious prescriptions. Keep busy, even if it requires forcing yourself; but make sure your agenda includes recreational activity. But if you’ve been getting your eight hours sleep (not four and not sixteen), eating right, exercising, keeping busy, and you’re still fatigued; don’t overlook other health-related possibilities.
 
DEVELOPING A COPING PLAN  

Organize and take charge of your life. Live by a schedule as rigid and as disciplined as you would if you were working; with set times to get up, eat, and sleep. Pursue your work search during certain hours as though it was a job. Include special projects in your schedule. Try to accomplish something every day, including learning new things. You’ll find that having a routine and following a schedule focuses your energy and puts some direction in your daily life. Organizing your life and taking care of yourself will enhance your self-image and make you feel good about yourself. You’ll feel healthier; have more energy; and, more important, you will increase your odds of finding a job.

Get Financial help is probably the first kind of help you need. Find out everything you might be eligible to receive and apply for it—unemployment insurance, food stamps, public assistance, medical coupons, social security—don’t overlook any possibilities. And should it be necessary, remember there are food banks in your area, too. Beyond that, don’t forget family and friends. Ask for help if you need it. There are people out there who would appreciate the opportunity to help because they have a sincere desire to be useful. Accepting their generosity will undoubtedly help you both. Find out if you’re eligible for programs that will give an employer tax credits for hiring you. Also learn if you’re eligible for training programs or retraining programs. Investigate all possibilities and follow up.

Psychological support can come from many sources. Frequently, all we need is to talk to someone—anyone—to let it all out. For that kind of therapy, family, friends, or a member of the clergy can give the support you need. Medical research confirms that people who have positive, supportive relationships are physically and mentally healthier. A friend to talk to, a shared laugh, a word of encouragement, and a hug can be more valuable than any prescription. Another resource is support groups comprised of people in similar situations who understand and can relate to everything you are going through. 

Call your local Mental Health Association to find out about support groups in your area. If you feel your situation is severe, professional help might be the answer. Again, contact the Mental Health Association for referral to the resources in your area. One of the best antidotes for depression is doing something to help someone else. You have time, talents, and skills that could mean a great deal to your family, friends, an elderly person in your neighborhood, a youth group, or a volunteer agency. You’ll find that helping someone else helps you more than it helps them. And there are other antidotes. Give yourself a treat now and then. Certainly, unemployment infringes on your lifestyle but don’t abandon all of life’s pleasures. An occasional movie, ballgame, or evening out is as important as meeting your other basic needs. 

Don’t forget to laugh. Humor can protect you from some of the pain, and it can help those around you through this, too. Accomplishments are great medicine because they make us feel good about ourselves—even minor ones like cleaning out a drawer, working in the garage, darning a sock, or writing a resume. Make sure you accomplish at least one task every day.
 
Pursue New Opportunities While unemployment is inevitably a time for worry and a certain amount of grief, it is also a time for reflection, change, and growth. Your new freedom may have been thrust upon you, but take advantage of it. It’s an opportunity to evaluate where you’ve been and where you’re headed; and determine whether or not you should change course. This could be the time to start a new career. After all, you might be placing unfair limitations on your potential if all you want is your old job back. 

Finally, have faith. Whether you put your faith in yourself, the future, or a greater power, a hopeful outlook will do more for you than any of the advice herein. 

You are an important person. You can do anything you want to do or have to do. Every day you survive makes you stronger. And remember, this too shall pass.

Dos ciegos: Sabato-Borges

Cuando todavía yo era un muchacho, versos suyos me ayudaron a descubrir melancólicas bellezas de Buenos Aires: en viejas calles de barrio, en rejas y aljibes de antiguos patios, hasta en la modesta magia que la luz rojiza del crepúsculo convoca en charcos de agua. Más tarde, cuando lo conocí personalmente en Sur, supimos conversar sobre Platón o Heráclito de Efeso, con el pretexto de vicisitudes porteñas. Años más tarde, ásperamente la política nos separó. Porque así como Aristóteles dijo que las cosas se diferencian en lo que se parecen, en ocasiones los seres humanos llegan a separarse por lo mismo que aman. ¡Cuánta pena que eso sucediera! Su muerte nos privó de un gran poeta.
