"Ultimate Fantastic 4"

Bendis, Millar, Ellis, Kubert and Immonen. This cannot goint to go wrong. And this works, of course. Another brilliant re-start to the oldest group of Marvell superheroes.

"The Sopranos" First season

After "Twin Peaks" this was the first series of our moder times. Was with HBO open the gate to a new generation of series, a new kind of see and narrate. Without "The Sopranos" "The Wire" were impossible.

Yeah, Sopranos lack some things of old series. First season have secondarie plots that are a crap, and some actions are unmotivated and bad showed. But despite this, this incredibly worked. And I know because I have seen chapters of the third season, the series is getting better. This is just the beginning.

"1985" By Mark Millar

A 3 number limited series. Millar tell us a story about his (shared) love about superheroes comic-books. One of the best Millar works. 1985 the year of marvel's "Secret Wars" -the best of the decade.

"If don't a tear loose at the end of the story, you're not one of us" says the Spanish editor of this comic. Probably he is right.

"Memories of Murder" by Bong Joon-ho

I love Bong Joon-ho's "The Host". Maybe this one is better. The dark side of "Se7en", one of the most interesting movies about serial killers. "Memories of murder" looks-like a copycat but it's a sublime piece of art who center his plot on the South Korean police and the dangerous relationship with his North's neighbor.

This is Special DVD Edition Cover is a marvelous joke. Kang-ho Song is a incredible actor, one of the best. If this man was probably the U.S. was recognized as a Philip Seymour Hoffman. It's a real crack.

"Celebrities: Alan Moore"

And here's come the man

"The Walk" Robert Walser

The masterpiece by Walser. Marvelous. Bigger than life. And so...

I said many time that i admire and envy this people. I dont envy his life, of course (I don't gonna be mad on my 30). I envy that they can do works so perfect, deliver and how are you beautiful. Talking of what we are all human beings. It reminds me of my complete inability to make a brief comment to fictional way what the world is.

Moreover, 'The Walk' is a sublime beauty be authentic. The short walk and brief as an allegory of our existence. He's not the flaneur of the French, is another type of tour.

By the way, who represent the monkey and the razor in the covert book? I don't have f**** idea.

"Bob Roberts" by Tim Robbins

A 1992 movie that I saw many times. It's very actual and very current. Bob Roberts looks-like a PP boy who have learned the pose and the imposture of a young rebel like Bob Dyland (and here's the Bob in Bob Roberts). But He's a dark Dylan who sing to the capital and to the neocon values songs like this:

Some people must have.
Some people have not.
But they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain.

Some people will work.
Some simply will not.
But they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain.

Like this: It's society's fault I don't have a job.
It's society's fault I am a slob.
I have potential no one can see.
Give me welfare. Let me be me!

Hey, Bud, you're livin' in the Land of the Free.
No one's gonna hand you opportunity!

Some people must have.
Some never will.
But they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain.

I don't have a house. I don't have a car.
I spend all my money getting' drunk in a bar.
I wanna be rich. I don't have a brain.
Just give me a handout while I complain.

Or this: I wanna stay in bed and watch TV.
Go out weekends in a limousine
And dance all night takin' lots of drugs
And wake up when I wanna.

Hey, Bud, you're livin' in the Land of the Free.
No one's gonna hand you opportunity!

Some people will learn.
Some never do.
But they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain.
Yeah, they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain.

Sí, ellos se quejan pero en realidad se lo merecen. como diría Esperanza Aguirre A very very scary movie "Bob Roberts", indeed. Lead and directed by Tim Robbins its count with many of his friends (many impressive cameos). And this was made in a hard time: EEUU started his first war agains Irak and many countries support this atack on the idea that Irak cannot invade Kwait. This was the start of all the things you-know-what.

Another songs to the neocon you have inside your heart (indeed, all the movies songs, I think):

"1001 Nights of Snowfall" by Willingham

Guille gave me. It's another postmodern adaptation of "The 1001 nights". This time it's funny and in some way interesting. Some short stories are better than others and is a good start to the Bill Willingham's "Fables" world.

"Bartleby, the scriverer" by Melville

Well maybe i shuld to do a complete review about this amazing book from this stroy by Melville but I would prefert not to.

My edition includes 5 stories (Bartleby, The bell-tower, The two temples, The ligting-rod man, The fiddler) I would prefert not to comment.

I think i'm going to sit in an armchair and watch through my window the pass go by. Doing nothing. But, I would prefert not to.

"Spiderman" by Straczinsky

8 Volumen with the work by J.M Straczinsky, the man who renew the Spidey comic-book. The volumen includes the 11-S special (a wonderfull work of art, a testimony of the moment) and the incredible #500 (the picture is from this mumber)
Spidey is the emblem of Marvell since many years. Before Staczynsky the colection were on the bottom of a dark pit, whit all the (forgotten) villains like The Matador or The Spot. With Strac the comics rise from it to the point that Spiderman deserve. This 8 volumens narrate who aunt May knows that Spiderman is her grand-son Peter Parker.

Incredible well crafted by John Romita jr. (one of my most beloved artist on comic-books) Spiderman by Strac are a very recomendable reading.
