nos vamos de gira

¡A las ínsulas!

Richard y David

La relación entre la narrativa del marciano Lowery y la de McGuire en Here no la percibo sólo yo, obviamente:

I don’t know whether Lowery had McGuire in mind when he went to work on “A Ghost Story,” but several of the film’s most memorable and powerful scenes, including an eerie observation of a family of murdered settlers, echo McGuire’s incredible technical feat.
Others, including Nick Johnston and Benjamin Rosenstock, have also noticed the parallels between the two works, the latter remarking, “‘A Ghost Story’ is probably the closest we’ll ever get to an adaptation of ‘Here.’”
Aquí o bien aquí, por poner dos ejemplos. De la peli, esta crítica de Ocaña me gusta.
Fui por una recomendación que me avisó: o te gusta o te duermes. A punto estuve. Fascinante poética. Gracias.

no heroes in her sky

Ayer terminé el día de nuevo con pasiones a primera vista y con Julia R. Ver este tipo de pelis por segunda o tercera vez es una ventaja; si han pasado años desde que las viste, mejor. Todo eso se cumplía y pude disfrutar y reflexionar. Me encantaría ver la obra de teatro original del judío, que también firma el guion. Menudo pájaro.
Natalie abre y el cierra el largo con su particular mantra:
no love
no glory
no heroes in her sky
en la voz de Damien. De su huida de NY a Londres a su huida de Londres a NY. Un sino en la piel de una stripper que adopta el nombre impostado de una mártir. En medio, los mamíferos. El papel de Jude se me queda corto; sin embargo, el de Clive me parece tan perfecto como un círculo. También el de Julia, pero me interesa menos. En fin, que fantástico todo...

Una lástima que con esas leyes salga ese relato. Aun así tiene momentos graciosos.

almíbar con autógrafo

Ella me habló de un encuentro casual, de la química que se produjo, de lo que se desató, de lo inexplicable. Al día siguiente cuando amanecí preparé un almíbar con las frutas maduras que me quedaban y luego me vi Notting Hill, que hacía tiempo que no la veía.
Lloré con el almíbar.
Creo que está bien hilvanado todo. Me lo dieron hecho.

Le hablé a G. de este grupo que no conocía; eso fue anoche y aquí ando, ya horas de hoy, de nuevo adherido a ellos. Tremendous.




You and I, we might be strangers
However close we get sometimes
It's like we never met
But you and I, I think we can take it
All the good with the bad
Make something that no one else has but
You and I, you and I
Me and you, what can we do
When the words we use sometimes
Are misconstrued
Well, I won't guess, what's coming next
I can't ever tell you
The deepest well I've ever fallen into
Oh, I don't wanna know
Oh, I don't wanna know
Oh, I don't need to know
Everything about you
Oh, I don't wanna know
And you, don't need to know
That much about me
You and I, we might be strangers
However close we get sometimes
It's like we never met
But you and I, I think we can take it
All the good with the bad
Make something that no one else has but

You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I


I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
Hey, mister, can you tell me, where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand, "No" was all he said.
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me
I picked up my bags, I went looking for a place to hide
When I saw old Carmen and the Devil, walking side by side
I said, "Hey, Carmen, c'mon, let's go downtown"
She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around"
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me
Go down, Miss Moses, ain't nothin' you can say
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgment day
Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Annalee
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Annalee company"
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog
Said, "I will fix your rag, if you'll take Jack, my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute Chester, you know, I'm a peaceful man"
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can"
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me
Catch the cannonball, now to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here, with her regards for everyone

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me







qué conocimos, tú y yo, amor mío

Me gusta Manuel. Es muy histriónico, muy melodramático. Pero me gusta. Es un tipo leído, culto. Y sabe de lo que habla. Eso es importante.

No hubo laberinto, sino un mar de resplandores,
un mar de resplandores.

Qué animal de bellota.

Me dio mucho gusto ver a la pareja protagonista en pantalla grande, pero que mucho. Pero lo de Claude y Leopoldine es de otro mundo. No es por casualidad que acabara leyendo poesía en la radio:
Divorced in 1938, she moved to the United States via Britain. She spoke no English at that time, and had to take a job as a factory worker until, after intensive language study, she landed a supporting role in Alfred Hitchcock's 1946 film Notorious, in which she played Claude Rains' mother, although she was only three years older than him.
She performed in two television series in 1948 and returned to Vienna. Her last acting work involved sporadic theatre roles and poetry readings on the radio.
