Casablanca (in 30 seconds)

Casablanca

This video might verge on blasphemy, but it's an awfully bunny, err, funny remake of Casablanca. I strongly recommend the website where I found it: www.angryalien.com. Of course, you miss a lot with this version. However, their remake of Titanic is quite an improvement! And it saves a lot of time too!

Epiphany

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it's filled with people who are filled with shit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it.
But not for long...

They all deserve to die.
Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why.
Because in all of the whole human race
Mrs. Lovett, there are two kinds of men and only two
There's the one staying put in his proper place
And the one with his foot in the other one's face
Look at me, Mrs Lovett, look at you.

No, we all deserve to die
Even you, Mrs Lovett, even I.

It's sooo true

No comments, just a suggestion, follow this yellow brick link to find many other brilliant cartoons. This one was originally titled 'The slippery slope', he, he, he. Enjoy!

At long last

(Re)presentación

Sin ánimo de rebajar la palpitante verdad de 'Casa de Muñecas', muchas veces he pensado que lo más apasionante del argumento propuesto por Ibsen comienza justo cuando termina. La infinidad de posibilidades que el portazo de Nora inaugura, los mil interrogantes resumidos en el estruendo final y que se prolongan y multiplican a su vez en otros mil, según las vibraciones del eco, es para mí su enseñanza más valiosa. El destino de Nora suscita nuestra curiosidad porque es una imagen de la indeterminación y apertura de nuestra propia vida. Por eso quiero comenzar cada día bajo la resonancia de ese portazo fundacional, y recordar el impulso que guió a Nora Helmer: "Quiero pensar por lo pronto en educarme a mí misma". Para ir dejando constancia de este aprendizaje, abro hoy este blog*
