<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>La Diputación de Almería reconoce así la gran labor del decorador asturiano en la difusión cinematográfica de esta provincia</strong></p>
<p>Esta tarde, Gil Parrondo ha recibido visiblemente emocionado la medalla de oro de la cultura de la provincia de Almería antes de inaugurar la mejor y más extensa exposición retrospectiva de su obra, tal y como ha reconocido ante un centenar de personas, entre las que se encontraban estrechos colaboradores suyos como el director de cine Antonio Giménez Rico, el historiador cinematográfico Jesús García de Dueñas, el arquitecto e investigador cinematográfico Jorge Gorostiza, el historiador de cine Víctor Matellano y el atrezzista Julián Mateos.</p>
<p>“¿Qué por qué amo tanto la provincia de Almería…? No tendría suficientes palabras nunca para explicarlo. Me ha dado tanto y tengo tanto que agradecerle…”. Así concluyó su discurso en el que recorrió mentalmente e ilusionado muchas de sus películas. Algunas de ellas están presentes en esta exposición organizada por la Diputación Provincial de Almería en el marco de su VIII Festival Internacional de Cortometrajes ‘Almería en corto’ que se celebrará del 4 al 12 de diciembre.</p>
<p>Esta exposición, que coincide en el tiempo con el 40º aniversario del rodaje en Almería de la superproducción norteamericana Patton (1969) que le valdría el primero de sus dos Oscar a la mejor dirección artística, es la primera gran muestra sobre sus creaciones profesionales y está comisariada por el historiador de cine Ignacio Manuel Fernández Mañas. En ella se podrán ver 141 dibujos, diseños y proyectos de decoración, 95 fotografías, 16 planos y una decena de documentos como cartas, contratos, artículos de prensa, etc, la mayoría de ellos inéditos, cuya coordinación lleva a cabo el diseñador Elías Palmero, así como del extraordinario catálogo recopilatorio.</p>
<p>Gil Parrondo y Rico-Villademoros nació el 17 de junio de 1921, en Luarca (Asturias). Con ocho años se instala en Madrid, ciudad en la que reside en la actualidad. A finales de la década de los 30, ingresa en la Escuela de Bellas Artes de San Fernando para estudiar pintura y arquitectura, y se despierta su interés por los decorados de Hollywood.</p>
<p>Los cuatro robinsones (1939) de Eduardo García Moroto, La Dolores (1940) de Florián Rey y La Gitanilla (1940) de Fernando Delgado representan su bautismo en el cine. Tras un paréntesis de tres años entre 1942 y 1945 para realizar el servicio militar, regresa a Madrid y empieza a trabajar como ayudante de Sigfrido Burmann. Con él colaboraría en cincuenta películas, varias dirigidas por Juan de Orduña: entre ellas sobresalen Locura de amor (1948), Pequeñeces (1950), Agustina de Aragón (1950) y Alba de América (1951).</p>
<p>Hacia finales de los 50 y principios de los 60 compagina las grandes coproducciones con películas españolas como La noche y el alba (1958) de José María Folqué, El precio de la sangre (1959) de Feliciano Catalán o Don José, Pepe y Pepito (1959) de Clemente Pamplona.</p>
<p><strong>Los paisajes almerienses</strong></p>
<p>En el año 1962 se estrena Lawrence de Arabia, película en la que no figura como decorador, aunque fue el responsable de las localizaciones que se hicieron en Almería. Lo mismo ocurriría con Doctor Zhivago (1965), aunque en este caso aparece en los créditos como director artístico asociado. A partir de Lawrence de Arabia, durante casi más de una década fue raro el año en que Gil Parrondo no trabajó en la provincia almeriense. En 1966 participa en una serie televisiva norteamericana, La patrulla furtiva, que se filmó en esta provincia, como sucedió con Duffy el único (1967) de Robert Parrish, The Valley of Gwangi (1968) de James O’Conolly (1968) o Los Cien Rifles (1968) de Tom Gries.</p>
<p><strong>El reconocimiento internacional</strong></p>
<p>Cautivado por los paisajes almerienses, Gil Parrondo regresa una vez más para convertirlos en el sur de Italia en la película Patton (1969), filme que le valdría en 1970 su primer Oscar a la mejor dirección artística. Fue el inicio de su colaboración con Schaffner, con quien también trabajaría en Nicolás y Alejandra (1971), su segundo Oscar, y en Los niños de Brasil (1978). La tercera nominación consecutiva a los premios de la Academia de Cine estadounidense vendría de la mano de Viajes con mi tía (1972), de George Cukor, rodada también en parte en Almería.</p>
<p>La provincia aparece de nuevo en Orgullo de estirpe (1970), con escenas rodadas en Los Llanos de Senés y el castillo de Tabernas, la única película en la que trabajó para John Frankenheimer.</p>
<p>El viento y el león (1975) supuso su primer encuentro con John Milius. Rodada en localizaciones como el Casino de Almería, Mónsul, la Casa Rosa de Rioja o la Alcazaba, esta película le abriría las puertas de posteriores colaboraciones con Milius, con quien Parrondo llegaría a trabajar también fuera de España. A Almería volverían ambos ya en los 80 para rodar parte de Conan, el bárbaro (1982).</p>
<p><strong>El cine español reciente</strong></p>
<p>De los últimos años destaca su trabajo en La vuelta de El Coyote (1998) de Mario Camus y El abuelo (1998) de José Luis Garci. En 1999 recibió la Medalla de Oro de la Academia de las Artes y las Ciencias Cinematográficas de España. También obtiene cuatro Goyas a la mejor dirección artística por su trabajo en cuatro películas de José Luis Garci: en 1995 por Canción de cuna (1994), en 2001 por You’re the one (2000), en 2005 por Tiovivo c. 1950 (2004) y en 2006 por Ninette (2005).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Posledně jsem tu cintal něco o mým hudebním Olympu. Snad se neunáhluju, když řeknu, že zatim nesesazeným Diem (mým) je MIKE PATTON. Osoba hodná políbení bot. Jednoznačně, ano, bez debat, fakt.</p>
<p>Nejspíš znáte Faith No More, s kterýma se proslavil a nejvíc vplul do dá se říct &#8220;mainstreamu&#8221;. To je ale jenom malej zlomek.</p>
<p>Čtu, že je ovlivněnej hlavně  Zappou (se nedivim) a Morriconem (se divim). Když jsem tvrdil Filipovi, že SOAD jsou tak trochu (úplně) kopírky FNM, nějak se mračil.</p>
<p>No, možná je snadnější ctrlc ctrlv:</p>
<p>&#8220;Mike Patton could very well be one of the most versatile and talented singers in rock music. He may be rock&#8217;s most valuable player as well, since he has divided his time between at least five projects: Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Tomahawk and an experimental solo career.&#8221; (ólmjúsik.kom)</p>
<p>k tej sólo karýr tady: (ale nenchte se odradit, tohle už je fakt ultra i na něj)</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/qPsXRiV6yo4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/qPsXRiV6yo4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>No a sem tam se dá vidět video jak s nějakou filharmonií zpívá nějakou vyhrocenou operu a podobně. Je silně ujetej. Takže jeho klipy a vzhled na koncertech neberte vážně. Samozřejmě v tom všem jsou ukrytý narážky &#8211; víc či míň čitelný. Nevim jakej má hlasovej rozsah, ale když jsem na koncertu slyšel jak si do klasickej fnm songů občas střihne nějakej ten operní šot, málem sem se posral.</p>
<p>Postupně sem dám od všeho něco.</p>
<p>Tohle je jeho jednoalbovej projekt &#8220;<span style="color:#ff9900;">Peeping Tom</span>&#8220;. Do každýho songu si pozval nějakej známej subjekt (Massive Attack, Amon Tobin, Kid Loco, Nora Jones&#8230;)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/afghan-policy-0018.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2529" title="A New Afghan Military Option " src="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/afghan-policy-0018.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="373" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to hear what the U.S. Generals, Eisenhower, Patton, and Schwarzkopf  have to say about Obama&#8217;s fear of making a military decision. It is clear to me that if Obama was Commander-in-Chief during World War Two that Hitler would have us all goose stepping to his favorite marches.</p>
<p>Why does he make such a huge deal about selecting options from his advisors? Could it be that they gave him honest appraisals, and he was looking for the option that said, &#8220;GET OUT.&#8221;  Obama does not have a clue about leading a war. He doesn&#8217;t have the knowledge, the will, or the guts to fight  the biggest threat the world has ever known. There is a good chance that his final policy decision will be &#8220;to not win.&#8221; The final result will be another Viet Nam, and we will have sacrificed our finest young people to liberal politics.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h3>Patton film senaryosu</h3>
<h3>Senaryo metni (İngilizce Orijinali Reverse Spins Editor)</h3>
<h3>SAHNE:</h3>
<h3>İkinci Dünya Savaşı’na ait Amerikan Ordusu üniformalı ikisi General 3 kişi bir jipte Kuzey Afrika’da bir yolda gidiyorlar.</h3>
<h3>KONUŞMALAR:</h3>
<h3>General George S. Patton (George C. Scott): Dur. Buradan sağa dön.</h3>
<h3>Şoför: Ama savaş alanı, diğer tarafta efendim.</h3>
<h3>Patton: Lütfen Benimle tartışma, Çavuş. Savaş alanının kokusunu alırım.</h3>
<h3>General Omar Bradley (Karl Malden): O buraya dün de geldi, George.</h3>
<h3>Patton: (elindeki sopayla işaret eder) O tarafta. Hemen sağa dön, dediğimi yap.</h3>
<h3><img title="georgecscott" src="http://bpakman.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/georgecscott2.jpg?w=150&#038;h=81#38;h=81" alt="georgecscott" width="150" height="81" /></h3>
<h3>SAHNE:</h3>
<h3>Jip yoldan ayrılır, turban giyimli eşeğe binmiş bazı Kuzey Afrikalının yanından geçerek Romalılardan kalma birkaç harabe yakınına gelir. Patton iner, Bradley de onu izler. Fonda sanki uzun yıllar öncesine ait unutulmuş bir savaşın o çağlara ait kolay unutulmayan müziğini çalan boru yankılanmaları aksetmektedir.</h3>
<h3>KONUŞMALAR:</h3>
<h3>Patton: Buradaydı. Çarpışma buradaydı. Kartacalılar şehri savunurken… …üç Roma lejyonu saldırıya geçti. Kartacalılar gururlu ve cesurdu. Ama dayanamadılar. Arap kadınları……onların giysilerini, kılıçlarını ve kalkanlarını aldı. Askerler güneşte çıplak yattı…… 2.000 yıl önce. Ben buradaydım.</h3>
<h3>SAHNE:</h3>
<h3>Patton, dizüstü çökmüş, duraklar, bilgiç bir tarzda gülümser epey şaşırmış olan Bradley’e döner ve şöyle devam eder:</h3>
<h3>KONUŞMALAR:</h3>
<h3>Patton:Bana inanmıyorsun değil mi.</h3>
<h3>Şairin dediği gibi:</h3>
<h3>“Çağlar arasında yol alırken,</h3>
<h3>Savaşın yıkımına ve tozuna rastlarsın.</h3>
<h3>Acaba yıldızlar arasında sonsuz kez savaşıp,</h3>
<h3>Yendim ve yenildim mi?</h3>
<h3>Sanki gördüğüm bir cam ötesinde karanlıkta</h3>
<h3>Eski bir çatışma</h3>
<h3>Ama farklı kılıklarda ve isimlerde savaşan,</h3>
<h3>Hep bendim. “</h3>
<h3>Patton:Peki, şiiri yazan kim biliyormusun?</h3>
<h3>Bradley hafifçe gülümser, başını iki yana sallayarak, Hayır</h3>
<h3>Patton: Benim.</h3>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Así es como lo leen, Nokia está rifando un Nokia N97, además de muchos otros premios.</p>
<p>A quien hay que matar?… como diría el Chavo del 8.</p>
<p>Pues es sencillo, tienen que llegar hoy Miércoles 18 de Noviembre de 2009, a las 7pm al Museo Chicó, en Bogotá. Cra 7 No 93-01.</p>
<p>Y a la entrada decir que se enteraron del evento aquí, en Nokia School.</p>
<p>Los Esperamos.</p>
<p><a href="http://expertonokia.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/landing_intersala1.jpg"><img style="display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;border:0;" title="landing_intersala[1]" src="http://expertonokia.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/landing_intersala1_thumb.jpg?w=362&#038;h=275" border="0" alt="landing_intersala[1]" width="362" height="275" /></a></p>
<p>Además tendremos el placer de conocerlos.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>Más Sobre el Nokia N97</strong></p>
<p>Uno de los últimos lanzamientos de Nokia a Nivel Mundial, y el último en Colombia.</p>
<p>Posee una gran pantalla, que permite manejarlo 100% touch, y también tiene un teclado QWERTY, muy interesante, y cómodo, el cual genera una inclinación, entre esté y la pantalla, a 45°, para permitir una gran visibilidad, y sensación agradable al escribir.</p>
<p>Ademas de ser un Serie N, y contar con TODO lo que se pueda pasar por una cabeza que puede tener un teléfono de hoy en día.</p>
<p>32 Gb de “Disco Duro”, y para quien no le alcanza, soporta microSD de hasta 16Gb</p>
<p>128 Megabytes de RAM (Ya vimos que el 5800 tiene 50 y corre de maravilla)</p>
<p>y la batería le dura hasta 40 horas, en reproducción de música.</p>

<p>Voy por Cervantes, son las 3 PM del domingo 1ero de noviembre y estoy pensando en una fila de mujeres que fuman. Es una fila bastante larga que empieza en Camino Real, sigue la calzada dura como una flecha, pasa frente de mí, penetra en la avenida Pezet y luego corre paralela al linde del club de golf, pierdo de vista tras el cruce con Portillo donde gira pocos grados hacia la derecha, presiento debe girar otra vez en el semáforo de la Avenida Salaverry, no sé donde va después. Sin embargo no es lo que normalmente entendemos como una fila de mujeres (si bien se parece mucho a una y aquí, entre nosotros, puedo decirte que alguien desprovisto de nuestra perspicacia o propensión a la bufa podría juzgar que es solamente una fila de mujeres, común y silvestre). Afortunadamente la distinción es obvia para el observador atento. Se contiene en un solo agudo motivo:</p>
<p>No es una concatenación de identidades discretas.</p>
<p>¿Qué quiere decir esto? Quiere decir que la fila que he imaginado no es una fila de mujeres reales. Sí está compuesta de mujeres, pero cada una de ellas no representa a una que exista en el mundo. Más bien cada una es la efigie laxa de un terrible momento en el tiempo. Así, cada una es en realidad la acumulación malhechora de muchas mujeres, todas aquellas que existieron para mí en un malhechor instante del tiempo, cualquiera que sea el indicado. Así, a lo largo de la fila cada elemento de ella esta casi repetido en el siguiente elemento y en el anterior, los cambios entre elementos contiguos –que representan el desplazamiento entre dos malhechores instantes– son mínimos y graduales, se requeriría un observador meticuloso para notarlos, sólo se hacen obvios a una distancia mayor, digamos con 20 elementos de separación, y de este modo la hilera de elementos conforma una cascada, un degradé de representaciones o efigies laxas o estatuas poco pulidas, más bien ensuciadas o enmohecidas, frías como bancas de parque en San Petersburgo en invierno, paradójicamente sólidas al mismo tiempo, sólidas pero laxas y frías y enmarañadas, vejatorias figuras imaginadas de todas las mujeres en un indigno espacio de tiempo –mi vida– cayendo desde Camino Real hasta Salaverry como una serpiente vituperiosa, intestinal destripada, vaginal ignominiosa, descomponiéndose incesantemente y con un dulce olor a ceniza.</p>
<p>Y de pronto la fila de mujeres se ha concretado a mi lado. Dicen que debes tener cuidado con lo que crees que es la realidad, pues la realidad será exactamente como tú la imagines. Es uno de esos dichos un poco cojudos, pero no parece haber sido del todo falso: de pronto la fila de mujeres se ha concretado a mi lado. Las puedo oler. Su caca todavía caliente, el café árabe y sus labios sahumados. La cháchara incesante me penetra por atrás, me excita también, me conmueve los testículos como si estos fueran recogidos por una mano tibia y maternal. El aroma del tabaco me trae memorias de lamidos inguinales: me presenta otra vez los ojos endemoniados del monstruo aquella vez cuando le di un orgasmo utilizando mis labios, entonces cuando efectivamente logró morir un poco, luego resucitar para destruirme. Oigo las risas del heliogábalo rampante que ha venido por mí corazón una vez más. Pero nada puede hacerme ya el heliogábalo. He mutado. Por la puta madre, he mutado. Luego, muy cool, me aproximo al heliogábalo caminando como si fuera un monstruo cualquiera. Ya conozco al heliogábalo, sus mañas, sus zonas erógenas. Y no le temo, estoy tranquilo –estoy cool–, no poseo más estrellas que pueda devorar. Si algo poseo, sólo poseo una pija en llamas. El heliogábalo ya se comió todas mis estrellas: ahora puede comerse mi pija en llamas. Miro la hora en mi celular. Tenemos tiempo para algunas inquisiciones.</p>
<p>A 3 metros de la fila, detenido, cuadrado tal Patton en el cine, les digo <em>ya no las quiero chicas.</em> Luego, a mi señal, marchamos todos, como en un desfile escolar. Marchamos en un batallón contenido y alegre, hacemos cuatro filas y formamos compañías de a 80, vamos así hasta la Avenida Arequipa. Allí hago una señal y la fila se vuelve a extender: cubre cientos de cuadras. Paso revista. Contento, me aproximo a la primera mujer y le doy un abrazo, junto mis brazos tras su espalda, la estrecho sinceramente entre mis brazos. Elijo a la segunda al azar, unos metros más allá: le escupo en los ojos. A la tercera no la toco. La cuarta es mi favorita y le doy un beso en el pecho, otro en la clavícula, abro su blusa y pongo un dedo húmedo sobre su pezón que, endureciéndose, me responde complacido. Luego vuelvo a la primera, pero levemente la esquivo, la humillo, la veo llorar. Busco a la quinta. Le doy por culo a la sexta mientras ella gime que me ama. Le grito a la séptima. Le digo a la cuarta que aún pienso en ella, que no importa que sea tan mala conmigo. Escribo una breve nota en una servilleta dedicada a la quinta. Le sonrío a la primera (quien aún no parece recuperarse de mi abrazo). Corro hasta la octava. Veo como se desnuda la décima. La vigésimo tercera me guiña el ojo. Me fela la décimo octava, se le entumecen los labios. Siento que extraño a la cuarta. Le regalo un chocolate bitter a la trigésima&#8230;</p>
<p>Entonces me alejo. Las miro, cual Patton en el cine, recapacito y les digo <em>mentira chicas, en verdad las quiero mucho. Siempre las voy a querer.</em></p>
<p>Las conduzco hasta el Morro Solar. Marchamos del mismo modo, cruzamos Miraflores y después Barranco, comemos un helado en el malecón y después trepamos lentamente la cuesta. Una vez en la cima, les cuento cómo perdimos en la batalla de Lima. La bahía se abre amplia ante nosotros. Imito a mi profesor de historia y les digo que todo lo que vemos frente a nosotros es cosa del pasado. La bahía reposa, voluminosa pero vacía como un bowl lleno de coles. Les digo que todo lo que hemos sufrido juntos, ¡eso está en el pasado! (Es un pérfido juego de palabras: todo lo que hemos hecho es cosa del pasado, de un pasado inamovible e indestructible, rígido y profético, periférico y determinante, imposible de eludir. Lo único impresionante o contundente y cojudo es cómo cuántos no lo notan.) Les digo que yo conozco la identidad del soldado desconocido. Les cuento que mi abuelo tenía una forja –una metalmecánica– y como él hizo la estatua a imagen y semejanza de James Dean. Les cuento que James Dean era gay, muy gay. Les digo que James Dean amaba que lo atoren duro, muy duro, especialmente si quien lo hacía era Marlon Brando. Les digo que no vean This is it, que yo ya me compré el DVD (vengan a mi casa). Les digo que tengo un LP de Like A Virgin, que mi papá lo compró en Londres en 1985. Les hablo de Christopher Hitchens. Les digo que quiero ser un cowboy mormón. Les hablo de mis bigotes. Les hablo de mis nuevos zapatos de cuero en punta. Les hablo de metales. Les hablo de mi corazón.</p>
<p>Así hablo horas de mí, cientos de minutos de mí, hasta que finalmente les digo <em>vamos, denme un cigarro.</em> Lo enciendo, ellas encienden al mismo tiempo uno y entonces todos fumamos y vemos juntos el sunset desplomándose en la bahía: un durazno maricón que se hunde de cabeza en el océano como si el cielo fuera a matarlo arreciado –o intoxicado– por los fuegos fatuos que levitan sobre nuestros pestilentes cadáveres eyaculados. Mientras empieza a penetrar las aguas, una luz sebácea, brillantísima y fulgurosa empapa el morro árido, circunda el aire aciago –delgadísimo como una soga–, transforma en platino nuestras ropas y vela todo en un ruido gelatinoso y vasto pero aglutinador que no está compuesto sino del rumor de nuestras disueltas, siempre infames soledades. En el momento justo en que el cielo vira de un gigantesco fucsia a un sobrio y profundo azul marino, echamos nuestros cigarros a la arena y con la armonía del equipo ruso de nado sincronizado hacemos &#8220;El Twist&#8221;, destruimos la colilla con la suela de nuestro zapato derecho.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I call myself a pacifist.  I&#8217;m pretty sure that there isn&#8217;t a time when killing swaths of your fellow humans could be justified.  I can&#8217;t think of a war that 1) couldn&#8217;t have been avoided if the right people were in charge, 2) didn&#8217;t go terribly wrong in terms of casualties, civilian and military and 3) bring out the worst in human behaviour.  But I have a dark, dirty secret (that isn&#8217;t so secret to those who know me well)&#8230;I LOVE war movies.  I don&#8217;t just mean the anti-war classics like All Quiet On the Western Front and Paths Of Glory.  I mean good old-fashioned jingoistic flag-wavers with John Wayne and Van Johnson.  I mean modern classics like Saving Private Ryan and Platoon.  I know this seems like a disparity and I suppose it is, in a way.  But in war movies, I often see men (and women) rising to humanitarian heights, overcoming physical limitations and demonstrating partisanship and cooperation, bringing out the man&#8217;s best in the worst of circumstances.  This week is Remembrance Day here in Canada and in Britain and Veteran&#8217;s Day in the United States and at this time, I always feel led to watch a few of my favourites as well finding one or two I may have overlooked.  As I grow older however, I become more aware of my mortality and more appreciative of the sacrifices made  by others who chose to go into harm&#8217;s way for the ideal of freedom and this year in particular, I have been thinking of people I have known who were connected to war in some way and of course, the movies their situation brings to mind.</p>
<p>Although my dad was a couple of months shy of active service in World War 2 (he joined up on his 18th birthday but all he saw was basic training outside Toronto and weekend furloughs in Toronto), I have several uncles who saw a great deal of action.  My uncle Mike was shot down behind German lines early in the war and sat through the war in a POW camp.  As a child, when he and my aunt Kaye would come over for a swim and he would take off his shirt, I would marvel at the foot long scar rippling across his left shoulder from stray bullets during his capture.  The Canadian military was ultimately very generous, providing him with a pension and a cushy job chauffeuring military types around Southern Ontario until his retirement but that would be a small price for the indignities he must have suffered and horrific sights he must have been privy to in those years in the German camp, as in the quintessential POW movie, The Great Escape.  Although this rollicking and exciting adventure strays sometimes from the source material, the book by Paul Brickhill that outlines his own experiences as a prisoner at the infamous Stalag Luft II, the truly amazing thing is that the most unbelievable parts in the film are those that actually happened with Steve McQueen&#8217;s unpredictable behaviour and demands accounting for the bulk of the changes from the book.  Another great movie (and book) from this same event is the British classic, The Wooden Horse, the true-life story of how an escape tunnel was dug essentially using only a wooden gymnastic horse and the ingenuity of dozens of prisoners.</p>
<p>My uncle Harry was one of the 76,000 Canadian troops that participated in the invasion of Sicily and ultimately Italy and spent many long months working his way north to free Italy from the fascist grip of Mussolini.  On a recent trip to Italy, we were in Salerno, where the disembarkation of the Allied invasion of Italy took place and and as I walked on the boardwalk next to the Mediterranean, I couldn&#8217;t help but think of the thousands of young men who lost their lives where I was walking.  The invasion of Sicily brings to mind the Oscar-winning film about the man who led the great invasion, Patton.  General George Patton was an imposing, brash, egotistical man but a brilliant tactician and the ideal fodder for a movie biography.  Francis Coppola and former military man Edmund North wrote a terrific script that perfectly captured the enigma that was Patton.  George C. Scott would not give a better performance, even if he felt it necessary to turn down the Oscar that came with it and the movie would famously become Richard Nixon&#8217;s favourite.</p>
<p>Many years ago, I watched what was essentially another rip-off of The Dirty Dozen, The Devil&#8217;s Brigade.  An entertaining romp, this one held a place of importance  and pride to me though because it concerned a ragtag U.S. commando unit drummed into shape by Canadian Special Forces officers, led by Cliff Robertson.  For once, the Canadians were the real heroes.  It was many years later that my dad informed that not only was the Devil&#8217;s Brigade a real World War 2 unit, but the best man at my parent&#8217;s wedding, George Stocking, was a former member of the Devil&#8217;s Brigade.  I promptly rushed home and watched it again and got a copy for my dad, who had never seen the movie.</p>
<p>My favourite war sub-genre is the submarine movie.  The idea that a small group of men from every background works together for the greater good (and their own safety) inside a giant tube, constantly facing stress and danger is a formula that never gets old for me.  Purists will list Das Boot and Run Silent Run Deep as the classics of the genre but my favourite is a propaganda piece that may lack in realism, but more than makes up for it in heart, Destination Tokyo.  Released at the start of the Second World War to give audiences a glimpse into the heretofore unknown world of the silent service, it stars Cary Grant as the skipper of a sub that has the unenviable task of sneaking into Tokyo Bay on an espionage mission, providing us with humour, pathos, excitement, and sheer bravado in spades.  Yeah, it&#8217;s old-fashioned but it&#8217;s old-fashioned fun.</p>
<p>Many may feel, even with the advent of ultra-realistic movies like Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line, that war movies diminish the great sacrifices the men and women who have served have made but I know that during virtually every war movie I watch, I have at least a moment of reflection when I&#8217;m thankful uncles Mike and Harry and all the other uncles, fathers, brothers, sisters, wives and aunts were willing to make the decision to serve their country so that pacifists like myself can enjoy the freedom they fought for.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hösten 1944 innebär motgångar för tredje armén. Vädret och en stark tysk defensiv har stoppat avancemanget på flera fronter. General Patton vill naturligtvis inte stanna upp och skyller det mest på motstridiga instruktioner och begränsningar i tilldelade resurser. Patton åker på sightseeing med kollegor för att återse samhällen och damer de lärt känna under första världskriget. Samhällena är sig lika men damerna finner de inte. En påstådd okänd grav för krigshjälten Rear från första världskriget finns kvar. Graven är en övergiven latrin med en korsliknande skylt &#8220;Abandoned Rear&#8221; som mistagits för grav av fransmännen och Patton förklarade aldrig sanningen. Det låter som en rövarhistoria.</p>
<p>General Eisenhower och general Bradley äter lunch hos Patton och Patton bjuder på en drink han kallar 170 som består av hälften Cognac och hälften Champagne som upplevdes som lyckad.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37" title="Faith-No-More-Epic-" src="http://siamesefightingfish.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/faith-no-more-epic-92975.jpg" alt="Faith-No-More-Epic-" width="450" height="448" /></p>
<p>Desde principio de año se leian y escuchaban rumores de que Faith No More iba a tocar en Argentina, junto a otras grandes bandas (incluyendo Alice in Chains, o al menos fue parte de los rumores). Sabiamos que el Pepsi Music era el festival elegido, pero no habia confirmacion hasta que en el mes de junio se confirmó. Faith No More en Argentina y yo ya tenia la piel de gallina.</p>
<p>FNM es una de esas bandas que escuché cuando era un niño rebelde de 15 años (y a esa edad, quien no) justo para cuando vinieron al Monsters of Rock en Ferro en el &#8216;95; pero yo estaba mas preocupado en colarme por atras y evitar a la montada en ese momento y me lo perdí, ni siquiera lo escuche de afuera. Estaba en mi epoca de Fun People, Fanzines en Plaza Congreso, DelMar, Pins, recitales gratuitos y a favor de causas perdidas, casas tomadas y derechos humanos, todo un rebel.  La musica y ciertas bandas ocupan un momento en nuestras vidas, en ese momento estaba tapado de Limp Bizkit, Korn, HedPe, Sepultura y otras banditas del new que se estaba gestando. Volvi a escucharlos en el 2001 y creo que hasta el dia de hoy no deje de escucharlos jamas.</p>
<p>Cuanto power en una banda, tantos estilos y voces mezclando hiphop, metal, clasica y agregando ese beatbox furioso. Y se dio! vinieron.. y obviamente no podia no ir. Me hubiera gustado estar adelante de todo gritando con Patton, que literalmente rompio con todas las expectativas que tenia, las superó, me llenó y a la vez se llevó toda mi energia por estar cantando (o intentando mejor dicho) casi todos los temas. Tocaron los temas que no podian faltar, aunque somos varios los que tenemos algun que otro reclamo por temitas que hubiera sido copado escuchar, pero bueno nos gusta quejarnos.</p>
<p>Faith No More sonó increible a pesar de los años, que se les notaban. El tiempo pasa, pero la escencia se mantiene, -la energia no muere, se transforma- y eso es lo que demostro Faith No More. Arraso con todo, con todos. Wow.. de solo pensar en el recital siento ese cosquilleo por dentro, hace rato que una banda en vivo no generaba tantas sensaciones en mi.</p>
<p>&#8220;Man was born to love-<br />
Though often he has sought<br />
Like Icarus, to fly too high-<br />
And far too lonely than he ought<br />
To kiss the sun of east and west<br />
And hold the world at his behest-<br />
To hold the terrible power<br />
To whom only gods are blessed-<br />
But me, I am just a man&#8221;</p>
<p>Y para vos, aparte del F for FAKE que lo tenes en la frente como la marca de Caín.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">You want it all but you can&#8217;t have it<br />
It&#8217;s in your face but you can&#8217;t grab it<br />
It&#8217;s alive, afraid, a lie, a sin<br />
It&#8217;s magit, it&#8217;s tragic, it&#8217;s a loss, it&#8217;s a win<br />
It&#8217;s dark, it&#8217;s moist, it&#8217;s a bitter pain<br />
It&#8217;s sad it happened and it&#8217;s a shame</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">No voy a hacer un review del concierto mismo, eso se lo dejo a los pesimos periodistas musicales que tenemos en este pais. Pueden leer uno relativamente bueno <a href="http://mikepatton.cl/">aca</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">La foto que estan viendo, la saque de la pagina de FNM, uno entra sale esta foto del Bicentenario de la Florida y aparece abajo VIVA CHILE!.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Una banda que siempre ha estado en el corazon de los roqueros chilenos, primero por que el año 1991 los trajeron como parche al festival de viña por que habia cancelado un artista mientras que FNM actuaba en Brazil se los trajeron a ultima hora  y dejaron la cagada, segundo por el incidente de los &#8220;pollos&#8221; en 1995.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">La reunión de FNM, me alegro tanto, primero por que tuve la oportunidad de verlos, segundo es por que Mike Patton, mantiene viva la ilusion de hacer rock de calidad, una ilusión que con muchos fundamentos muchos perdieron desde los años noventa. (son muy pocas las bandas de rock nacidas despues de la guerra fria, que valen la pena escuchar, no creo que superen las 8).</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Respecto al concierto mismo, me gustaría decir algo muy pequeño, la energía y el desplante escénico del banda me impresiono, lo segundo que me impresiono es que a pesar de que he visto en vivo a Vocalistas dentro de la élite vocal Musical Mundial, como Ronnie Jammes Dio, Bruce Dickinson, James LaBrie, Ian Guillan, Mick Hucknall (Simple Red), Paul Rodgers, Ian Anderson entre otros&#8230; Mike Patton fue impresionante nunca habia visto alguien que hiciera cambios de voz, de timbre y de tonos tan marcados y en cosas de milesimas de segundos como el, recordar que estos son los estilos vocales que se le han registrado y maneja: Crooner, falsete, voz gutural, screaming, Scat, beatboxing, hasta gritos, chillidos, gárgaras y berridos</p>

<p>Três horas de filme que super valeram e que te ganha desde a apresentação inicial. PATTON é singular pela sua trama que beira a um épico inspirado nas ações de um general herói[ou antiherói?] da II Guerra Mundial. O tal Patton nasceu pra nada menos que isso mas ao mesmo tempo é tido como um estranho no ninho por conta de sua ambição e vontade de guerra. Mais curiosa ainda é a interpretação de George C. Scott interpretando o ríspido general. Não tem quem não louve sua atuação mesmo com toda a ambiguidade por trás. Um general conservador e poeta que acha que viveu em Esparta em vidas anteriores e que louva o seu país natal[Estados Unidos]. Uma das atuações mais brilhantes que eu já vi. Um filme obrigatório vencedor de 8 Oscars, incluindo melhor filme, diretor[Franklin J. Schaffner], ator e roteiro adaptado[Francis Ford Coppola]. Ainda tem o adorável e sempre coadjuvante Karl Malden no elenco.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>For all those movie buffs out there, you’ll be happy to know that I’m a huge movie addict.  In another life, I would totally come back as a movie critic, member of the voting board for the Oscars or anything else that would require I watch movies pretty much for a living, because it’s definitely one of my favorite past times.  That being said, I have been a member of Netflix for many years and am able to feed my movie cravings every night—as long I remembered to send in the movies I already watched…&#8211;or any night I have the time.  I watch everything from silent classics to romantic comedies, foreign films to Oscar nom’s…and everything in between.  I’m an avid user of the “What You May Like” feature on Netflix and I’m one of those nerdy people who actually rates the movies I’ve already seen, so lately I’ve been getting a diverse set of 3 red envelopes in the mail, which brings me to what I’m getting at…</p>
<p>The other day, I received “Patton” in the mail, which won 7 Academy Awards and features the incomparable George C. Scott as General Patton.  It’s considered the 228th best movie of all time on IMDB, so aside from the fact that I had to watch it in installments due to its 170 minute runtime, it was a pretty good war movie, which is saying a lot coming from me because war isn’t usually my cup of tea…What I thought was most fascinating about this movie was the history of this great general and the examination of Patton’s character.  </p>
<p>Patton was an extremely interesting man believing in reincarnation and was a general completely obsessed with classic war strategy, focused on recreating battle scenarios of the Romans where they were successful.  He participated in the first Olympic pentathlon—fencing, riding, swimming, running &#38; shooting.  He was also a poet and while not religious, was deeply curious about God and the Bible.  Intellectually curious and non-political, he was a portrait of the classic war general very different from today’s—a respected leader, a feared fighter and a deeply complex man.  Patton was responsible for winning a number of US battles against the Germans in WWII and some say he was even responsible for helping bring the war to an end.  He was such an offensive strategist, I’d even venture to say that had he not died shortly after the war, he and his troops may have influenced a different outcome in Vietnam.  In short, if you don’t see this movie, definitely read up on this interesting man, a great American 4-Star General of the United States Army.</p>
<p>How does this relate to The Shells??  Well, I’ll tell ya!</p>
<p>Patton was a “Guts &#38; Glory” kind of man—always on the offensive &#38; never-surrendering.  One of my favorite quotes of his from the film was, “Now, an army is a team &#8211; it lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap.”  This guy was a great general, but he knew that his talent would only take him so far.  We’re only as strong as our weakest link and will be judged not just as individuals, but by the sum of our parts.  </p>
<p>That got me thinking a lot about The Shells…I know I’ve been talking a lot recently about the value of perseverance through challenges and sticking to it when things look hopeless. I think one of the things that differentiates The Shells from other indie bands we see in our network is that we really try to work as a team.  Each of us has our own strengths and shortcomings, but we’re there to help each other out when something goes wrong.  We know our limitations and aren’t afraid to ask for help where we need it.  Being able to lean on each other when we need help, both as a band and in our personal lives, has brought us closer together as a team.  Recognizing the strengths our musicians bring to making the sum of our parts into a better product has been challenging because it requires a lot of trust and letting go of control.  But, sometimes we have to realize that Rome wasn’t built in a day and it took a whole army full of all kinds of people to do it.  I always compare living in NYC to being in war because even the simplest task of going to the market can feel like you’re entering a battlefield.  In the same way, being in this band has been a constant uphill battle.  It can get you down, but it’s always easier when you remember that you’re not in it alone.  We’re doing this as a team.  Maybe we can all take a lesson from Gen. George and start thinking about the future of The Shells in the same “guts &#38; glory” kind of way.  When you’re creating your own destiny, it doesn’t pay to stand on the sidelines and wait for a miracle.  You have to constantly be pushing forward and looking for the next window of opportunity to strike while the iron’s hot.  Patton didn’t become a legend by the number of battles he won, though he was clearly a hugely successful soldier…he’s a legend because of the way he made his decisions…the style &#38; pinache with which he conquered his enemies and forged ahead through the worst conditions.  If The Shells can remember not to let the small stuff get us down, that some battles were meant to be lost, and that there is still victory ahead if we can keep plowing through the storm—then we’re already successful.  If we can do it with grace, honor, confidence and heart, even better.  If we can be inspired by our failures to write new songs and create something good out of pain, isn’t that the reason we’re musicians to being with?  If we can each be the sort of individual who wants to bring their best to the team, then there’s no way we can fail.</p>
<p>People often ask us what message we’d like to send to the other indie artists out there who are struggling every day like we are.  This is the blog I’d have them read…Patton’s a movie I’d recommend seeing…and really trying to practice what you preach (or, “be the things you say..”  from our song “Change…”) in the face of struggle and victory is what this message is really about.  I’ll leave you with a little prayer Patton had his chaplain write up in the film during a particularly harsh time in the battle against the Germans…The weather being our challenges—we the soldiers, the battle-our daily lives, and the oppression/wickedness of our enemies being our own minds &#38; negativity getting in the way of our true potential for success.</p>
<p>“Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee of Thy great goodness to restrain this immoderate weather with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for battle. Graciously harken to us as solders who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies, and establish Thy justice among men and nations. AMEN.”</p>
<p>Good luck on the road to your dreams!  It’s all guts &#38; glory from here—Surround yourself with a good team, stay positive and always on the attack to conquering your own future with perseverance, dignity and grace.  The wisdom and the lessons you’ll learn along the way are all a part of the success.</p>
<p>Until next time—Peace, Love &#38; Harmony with The Shells!!</p>
<p>&#60;3 Jessi</p>

A veces no importa tanto la complejidad de la maquinaria como haber realizado un buen montaje y un cuidado mantenimiento. Menos piezas bien engrasadas y en perfecta sincronía pueden conseguir grandes cosas. Tornea a conciencia cada uno de los elementos y pruébalo&#8230; úsalo un millón de veces, después, monta la máquina y vuelve a testar el conjunto otro millón de veces&#8230; entonces empezarán a salir las cosas.</p>
<p>Cuando era un niño, entrenando atletismo:</p>
<p>- Juan (entrenador), no puedo hacer esto, no me sale. &#8211; decía yo, o cualquiera de mis compañeros.</p>
<p>- Sigue intentándolo, y cuando lo hayas hecho un millón de veces &#8211; nos decía el entrenador &#8211; solo entonces, empezamos a preocuparnos.</p>
<p>En esta vida, mucho es cuestión de seguir intentándolo.</p>
<p>Sigue intentándolo&#8230; sigue intentándolo&#8230; sigue intentándolo.</p>

<p>Tentative list of things I think kick ass:  Killin’ Nazi Bastards, George C. Scott, tanks, bull terriers, good old fashioned plain talking men, hating Communism.  Yep, let’s just get this right out of the way here.  Patton kicks large sized portions of my ass.  This movie was great. </p>
<p>To clarify, I’m the type of fellow that’s not particularly into biopic pieces.  I’m a fiction man.  More specifically, I’m a science fiction man.  But nothing could matter less here.  From Jump Street, Patton grabs you and really never lets go.  I know that the opening scene has become an iconic part of our culture, so this isn’t saying much.  However, I’ve found that a lot of the revered parts of our culture tend to be overrated anyway. With Patton, this is not the case.   </p>
<p>This is one of those difficult films where the goal is to make the audience connect with and even love a character that has some tough traits to fall in love with.  Luckily, Franklin Schaffner knew what he was doing.  This movie wasn’t about the War.  It was about a great man trying to conform in order to preserve his dream.  Granted, Patton’s dream was to make himself famous for killing a shitload of dudes.  But, nonetheless, the man had vision, and it is impossible to resist respecting him for it, and it’s obvious that Schaffner does. </p>
<p>I may be biased, because I have a massive hard on for Scott, and have since Dr. Strangelove, but this performance is masterful.  He captures the true essence of Patton, which is no easy task.  The man was revered, hated, mocked, feared, and respected, depending who you talked to and when it was that you talked to them.  This is a character with so many different sides to his personality, it would take a master to do him justice on screen, which is exactly what happened. </p>
<p>A great portion of the movie is spent illustrating the differences between Patton and General Omar Bradley, masterfully played by Karl Madden.  Bradley was shown to be a reserved and humble man, typically characteristics of someone deserving respect.  It’s no different here, however, the restraint that he shows also shows us the mistakes of living a life with no driving passion.  Patton’s all or nothing attitude is what ended in success, not the restraint shown by “Monty” and “Brad” on D Day.  </p>
<p>In the end, it’s evident that all of the problems that Patton ever had were brought on himself.  However, they always came on him because of the same personal characteristics that brought him success in the first place.  </p>
<p>But, possibly the best aspect of this film is the sweeping from genre to genre in each new scene.  I can’t see how any single movie fan could not love this film.  You like interpersonal dramas, and hate war movies?  Fine, just be patient through the tank battles, and you’ll shortly be watching a power struggle between two opposing personalities.  You want to watch a rise and fall success/failure story?  Just hang tight, it’s in there.  You love to see shit get blowed up?  Done.</p>
<p>Overall, this film can make you think, can make you feel patriotic, can make you tune out and watch shit explode, can take you down a path in history, and all the while was shot beautifully.  As opposed to the last war movie I reviewed, Glory, this is a movie well deserving to be on the list of top films ever. </p>

<p>To ALL those whining, panty-waisted, pathetic Citizens, it&#8217;s time for a little refresher course on exactly why we Americans occasionally have to fight wars to keep this nation great.<br />

Abu Ghraib is not &#8220;torture&#8221; or an &#8220;atrocity.&#8221; This is the kind of thing frat boys, sorority girls, and academy cadets do every year.  A little fun at someone else&#8217;s expense.  Certainly no reason to wring your hands or get your panties in a wad. Got that ?<br />

<p>Islam a peaceful religion? My Ass! Millions of these warped misled sons-of-bitches are plotting,  as we speak, to destroy our country and our way of life  any way they can. Some of them are here among us now. They don&#8217;t want to convert you and don&#8217;t want to rule you. They believe you are a vile infestation of Allah&#8217;s paradise. They don&#8217;t give a shit how &#8220;progressive&#8221; you are, how peace-loving you are, or how much you sympathize with their cause. They want your ass dead, and they think it is God&#8217;s will for them to do it.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-20185" href="http://blog.stixblog.com/2009/10/16/the-ghost-of-patton/patton10/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20185" title="patton10" src="http://blog.stixblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/patton10.jpg" alt="patton10" width="205" height="331" /></a><br />
Some think if we give them a hug or listen to them, then they&#8217;ll like us, and if you agree &#8211;  Then you are a pathetic dumb ass!<br />
If they manage to get their hands on a nuke, chemical agents, or even some anthrax &#8212;  you will wish to God we had hunted them down and killed THEM while we had the chance. How many more Americans must be beheaded? You&#8217;ve fallen asleep AGAIN &#8211; get your head out of your ass! You may never get another chance! NOW GET OFF YOUR SORRY ASS and pass this on to any and every person you give a damn about &#8211; if you ever gave a damn about anything!</p>
