Tou mesmo curioso para saber o que raios vai ser o "Super 8" deste senhor...
Entretanto...
Sim, nós sabemos que o título do blog não é mais que um roubo indecente do nome de uma faixa de Refused. Mas, além de encaixar bem, é um título bonito, não é?

Let Me In (2010)
Respeito é bom e é bonito
Primeiro que tudo, deixar bem claro :é claro que este "Let Me In" não está ao nível do original sueco. Nem tenta estar... Matt Reeves, o argumentista e realizador deste remake tem, acima de tudo, um respeito imenso pelo trabalho de Tomas Alfredson. Às vezes demasiado respeito, ao ponto de usar os mesmos diálogos, os mesmos ângulos. Das poucas alterações que introduziu, destaco a curiosidade do Owen ( o Oskar deste remake ) ao olhar para o mundo dos adultos, tão distante. As metáforas visuais, com lentes, telescópios, focagem e desfocagem, são mais que muitas, e subtis. Ao contrario das partes mais sangrentas, que de subtis têm pouco, e desconcentram um bocado, especialmente porque a mood do resto do filme é gelada. O desempenho dos miúdos está fabuloso, quase ao nível do original. Especialmente o Kodi Smit-McPhee como Owen. Confuso e aterrado ao mesmo tempo, é fácil ver a duvida e a desorientação, própria dos 12 anos de idade, a pairar na cara do miúdo . De destacar também os (sempre) optimos Elias Koteas e Richard Jenkins nos papeis secundários. Ambos transmitem um ar cansado e resignado ao filme, o exacto oposto ao olhar de Owen, assustado mas curioso.
Enfim , vão haver sempre pessoas a dizer mal, mas, a maioria delas, sem grande razão. Adorei o "Let the Right One In", li o livro ( que estranhamente não é tão bom quanto o filme ) vi-o quatro vezes no cinema e umas 20 vezes em casa ( metade delas antes de ir ver o filme ao cinema pela primeira vez ). Este remake, não devo ir ver ao cinema mais nenhuma vez, talvez compre o DVD quando for lançado daqui a uns meses...
É como o Mourinha disse na sua critica : " É um óptimo filme inútil" . Porque não é melhor que o original, nem tenta. Porque é demasiado parecido, sem ser melhor em nenhum dos aspectos ( nem nos efeitos-especiais ). Mas não deixa de ser óptimo.

5 coisas que aprendi com o Christophe Honoré
- Todas as mulheres querem foder o Louis Garrel
- As pessoas resolvem os seus problemas com metáforas super-elaboradas e recorrendo a sub-texto
- Para levar uma mulher para a cama, só é preciso dizer : "é um caso de vida ou de morte"
- As pessoas que estão tristes sem saber porquê, tentam suicidar-se encenando situações em que sabem que vão sobreviver

Slow Riot for New Zerø Kanada
Interviewer: Well... Where are you coming from?
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: (pause) Well... I don't like the way the country's ran, don't you know, and, erm... that's pretty much what i was expressing in my poem. The government... the American government - they're sneaky, they're very deceitful, they're liars, they're cheats, they're rip-offs. I mean, the American government is one systematic government that...that nobody can trust. I don't trust them myself.
Interviewer: And how long have you been writing for?
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Huh?
Interviewer: How long have you been writing for?
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Since I was four.
Interviewer: Do you do this sort of thing a lot, like, open-mic kinda questions?
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Oh, I love open-mics, I love coming here to do open-mics, absolutely.
Interviewer: What kind of reactions do you usually get?
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Usually, people are... are pretty much in agreement with what I'm saying.
Interviewer: We overheard you before talking about... you went to court today for a speeding ticket?
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: That's accurate.
Interviewer: Right. Do you wanna tell us that story?
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Yes, absolutely, I wouldn't mind telling you the story. Erm... I went to court today for a speeding ticket, and I told thejudge, erm... "Let me tell you something, and you listen and you listen good, I'm only gonna say this one time and one time only, I don't repeat myself for nobody," I said. I says... "I'm here to pay a speeding ticket, not to listen to your lectures and hear you run your mouth for an hour." I says "I'm here to pay off my speeding ticket ...and I'm here to get my fines out of the way and get the fuck to work." The judge says "You can't talk like that in my courtroom, you're in contempt of court." then I said... I told the judge, "If that's the best you can do, I feel sorry for you." I said "Why don't you just shut your fucking mouth for once and listen." I said "I'm not gonna take any shit." I said "I'm gonna pay my speeding ticket like I said." I walked up to the god damn judge and I hand him my 25 dollars and I says "Here's my money, now I am leaving."
And I left it at that.
Then, before I left, I turned around and told the judge "I'm here to state who I am and be honest with you." I said "If they thought I was dangerous on the road like you're trying to accuse me of, wouldn't they have taken my license when I first got it? Yes they would." And the judge says "Yeah, you have a point," He goes "You don't need to get loud," I said "Don't get loud?" I says "I've got every right to get loud." I says "You can't do a god damn thing about it, because I'm expressing myself in your court, and there is nothing you can do about it. You think you're god because you have a robe and you can put people up the goddamn river for 20 years? Well you're not."
And I left it at that.
Interviewer: Did you walk away?
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Yes I did... I don't like the judicial system, I don't like the government system, I don't like the police, I don't like anything to do with this country's government. I just don't like it, because... they're sneaky, like I said - they're deceitful, they're lying, they're cheats, they rip people off. That's the American government for you. America is a third world country, and people don't recognise it... and I think that that's pretty god damn sad, that they don't recognise their own country as a third world, third rate, third class slum.
Interviewer: Well... Do you have any weapons?
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Yes, I do. I own a high-powered assault rifle, I own a 12-gauge double barrel shotgun, I own a regular shotgun, I own a regular hunting rifle, I own a 9mm, a 357, a 45 handgun, a 38 special, and, erm... I own an m-16 fully automatic ground assault rifle...
Interviewer: Do you think things are gonna get better before they get worse?
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: No way. Things are just gonna get worse and keep on getting worse. Like I said, America's a third world country as it is and... and we're just basically in a hopeless situation as it stands.
Interviewer: What do you think this country's gonna look like in the year 2003?
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Y'know, I'll tell you the truth - nothing against you guys, but I don't wanna answer that question because... I haven't even got a mind that's that...that inhumane.
Interviewer: Are you ready for what's coming?
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Ready as I'll ever be.
Most people aren't.
There's a little saying... Dates back for generations...
Interviewer: Go on...
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: Be prepared for anything at any time from anybody, don't take no shit, always stand your ground. People wanna come up to me and run their mouth - guess what? I'll throw them through the fucking window... I won't think a thing of it.
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III: (pause) Well... I don't like the way the country's ran, don't you know, and, erm... that's pretty much what i was expressing in my poem. The government... the American government - they're sneaky, they're very deceitful, they're liars, they're cheats, they're rip-offs.

Top 10 BSO de jogos: 5 - Tekken 2
Se eu tivesse composto esta banda sonora, sentiria um misto de orgulho e frustração. Orgulho porque é um conjunto excelente de músicas e frustração porque os combates acabam demasiado rápido para podermos apreciar a sua qualidade. Esta é a realidade da maioria dos jogos de luta, mas o caso de Tekken 2 é o mais notório. Não estou a falar daquelas batidas que se repetem constantemente, mas sim de música com diversas camadas e cuja evolução escapa ao jogador devido à rapidez dos combates.
Quando estive a decidir quem integraria o top 10 não avaliei só pela qualidade, mas também pela personalidade das músicas. Que raio quero eu dizer com isto? Nem eu sei exactamente, mas está relacionado com aquela sensação de que estamos a presenciar algo único, que claramente se destaca no jogo. Isto é possível perceber logo através dos temas das personagens, onde cada um parece descrever o lutador na perfeição: o de Jun revela uma personagem espiritual, em harmonia com a natureza; o de Jack-2 parece algo saído do Exterminador Implacável 2, com os seus sons “metálicos”; o de Michelle mostra uma personagem com muita energia e determinação; e o de Devil Kazuya transparece melancolia e um vazio enorme.
De maneira geral, Tekken 3 é o melhor jogo da série. Mas há um aspecto onde o 3 fica aquém deste: na música.
Black Winter Night Sky (Intro)
MORNING FIELD (Jun Kazama Stage)
BE IN THE MIRROR (Devil Kazuya Stage)
