What Color Jelly Bracelets Mean

reasonable Similar

This version last night I met her by chance in Spotify seeking original song, which appears in The Big Lebowski, one of the best films of the Coen brothers . I Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) , which is the name the subject, appears in a scene of such footprint left in a hung The Note ending station. I leave the scene to prove it for yourself:


version, unlike in the past, does not seem particularly noteworthy, and put it here mainly for the story and the amazing thing it is to see Children of Bodom remixing this classic Kenny Rogers :

How To Remove A Tattoo With An Xcacto Knive

Second visit to Avenue Q

The you to read my previous post about Avenue Q will know that after seeing it, I fell in love with the magic of this musical. At Christmas, Zumito had the great detail to give me the CD with the songs and wanted to repeat. So liándome the blanket to the head last Friday the 11th we returned to visit the friendly neighborhood of New York in the company of my brother, his wife and several friends who went for the first time.

Having bought the tickets through an online offering could not pick the site and got scared a bit to see that our seats were in row 1 of the central courtyard. "Too close " , we think, having all been bad experiences at the movies with the best seats, but nothing is further from reality, the Teatro Nuevo Alcalá have enough space to the stage to enjoy stunning views, you can also observe the great work of the musicians who put live music.

The function was great, all the early ones were delighted and came up with that air of "my life sucks but I'm happy" that surrounds us all that we have enjoyed this show. But for the veterans was much further, as Avenue Q has evolved and matured over the functions and this time we offered something new, without giving a time break and surprise for the better. "The magic of theater" say, but the fact is that she enjoys enriching, things of that is a partial adaptation of the original script, you can take some creative license:)

Personally I prefer two moments of musical :
  1. theme "noise in your room" , which began with applause and as they changed the scene with the musical intro to the song, and a Princeton Kate and untied in their bedding. You can tell they love this part and enjoy it.
  2. This is a personal appreciation of the general good vibe among the actors and the ability recovery they face the unexpected: Leo Rivera caused a laugh attack Mayka Sitta near the end (I suspect it had and the whole function) and peers quickly threw him a cloak so that he could continue. Not noticed for most, it must be said. Many will see it as lack of professionalism, I actually see it as a test of it and a funny anecdote. Speaking of the actors have to say that Isabel Malavia , who had not seen her in action made an interpretation of Lucy Kate and outstanding, and "There is only one step" confess I did take me a crybaby. Leo Rivera and Angel Padilla great as before, with all the weight they carry on the work achieved exceeded. Sitta Mayka great as ever, making the ex-child prodigy Gary Coleman like Pablo Muñoz-Chápuli . Be the invisible hand of play ending Trekkie and Nicky is hard and unsung work, but Inma Look class did left us Osita of Bad Ideas different and do not know whether to even worse intentions. A Merry Christmas the Naomi Gallego played , Making my favorite Japanese in more gross and more linguist than ever:)

As a good fan, find the exit Angel Padilla was an opportunity I could not miss and I took a picture with him. I leave here with an apology for the assault and shooting down, and he was in a hurry. Still, thanks.
In short, cooler than a cucumber and a lot of life ahead, if you visit Avenue Q once, you'll love the neighborhood, but if you still want to move out a second time;)

How To Build A Long Travel Sand Rail

Superbowl and cinema spots

The final Superbowl is an event of first magnitude in the U.S. and for the rest of the world, because the producers will spend a bit silly money to buy 30 seconds of advertising space at halftime so we can display bright spots for the next blockbuster, certain that millions of Americans will see these images. And the next day, millions of fans watching around the world and again the same television spots, taking catches and trying to find the smallest detail. This year, as always, we were delighted with a good deal of progress:

  • Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Recently we saw the first teaser trailer the last installment of this series of transformable robots. Leaving aside the fact that it does not fit that explains what happens in previous releases, leaving us wanting more, and this spot, but it continues to see virtually nothing, wake up even wanting to know more and more . Personally the most expected:

  • Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides clips was another expected. The New Adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow are waking up very curious, especially knowing of his companions, villains and creatures in this new craze. All I can say is that Jack has made deals that always had difficulties, and this film promises to learn more of our favorite villain Captain:

  • Captain America: The First Avenger . Yes, no film of hero wearing the flag of the United States . What I did not know was that it was expected that the first images appeared in the Superbowl . With a design change that sincerely is welcome, it seems that the highly anticipated film of the Avengers (Avengers) Marvel approaches, because we already have the Cap, Thor, Iron Man and Hulk. do not know whether they will include the Ant Man and Wasp , but there is little hope for them. In any case, the trailer is spectacular, with a transformation of Chris Evans that leaves no one indifferent:

  • Thor. Despite being a premiere awaited by fans of the comic and action, having already a trailer and 5 minute preview not expect to see new images in the clip. But it's still good to see that even the gods can laugh:

  • Super 8. almost a year ago I wrote about this film, out of the minds of Steven Spielberg and JJ Abrahams on account of a teaser trailer of those that make you long teeth knowing that film can be anything. Now, with this announcement and clarification of Abrahams that the film will explore more dramatic load deep family relationships between the actors, everything is seen from a different perspective:

  • Battlefield Los Angeles. All I had to say about this movie, you can read in the other input , but I can not deny that is so cool to see explosions, panic and spacecraft, all shaken and served in 30 seconds:

  • Priest, God's hit man. At the time I saw the trailer of this film in the cinema, and not caught my attention. Despite be based on a comic, I think the same old story: monster hunter serving a command / organization and realizing who lie commanded to take wind. It may be interesting to see, but input is not among my preferences:

  • Fast Five. Cars, hot guy and aunts taught horn, all seasoned with racing and shooting. All very cani and it supplies 5:

  • Cowboys & Aliens . Another film that had not heard and that there is already a first trailer . Looks like a new twist to the genre and may be interesting considering that the star Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford . Until you know something else, I leave the link to ComingSoon to 30 seconds.

Dvd/vhs Digital Antenna

Entangled: Disney

As a good girl who has grown up with Disney, was forced this week to see Enredados . The new classic of the factory of dreams is the first made entirely in 3D and after the failure of Princess and the Frog study is hoping to regain an audience that eludes him. The story is about Rapunzel, the girl with the hair mileage that is trapped in a tower, a classic tale of the Grimm brothers that you reproduce through fairy tales :
Once upon a time ... a happy couple had long wanted a son or a daughter. One day, she felt her desire at last! was to take place.

Her house had a small window in the back, where you could see a magnificent garden full of beautiful flowers and all manner of plants, fruit trees and wonderful vegetables. He was surrounded by a high wall and no one dared to enter because there lived a witch.

One day, facing the garden, she noticed a splendid cargadito apple tree that looked so fresh and so delicious that wanted to eat them. His desire grew day by day and, as I thought I could never eat them, began to weaken, to lose weight and grew pale and fragile. Began to get sick.

Her husband became concerned and asked

- What's the matter, dear wife?

"Oh," he said, if I can not eat a few apples in the orchard behind our house, I will die!

Her husband, who loved her very much, he replied:

"will not let die, dear.

When darkness fell, the man climbed the wall into the garden of the witch and quickly took some of those apples so red, was getting into a small bag she was carrying and ran to give them to his wife. She immediately began to eat them with delight, savoring every last bit. They were so delicious that the next day increased their desire to eat more.

To keep her happy, her husband knew it had to be brave and go into the garden again. He waited all afternoon until dark, but when he jumped the wall, he came face to face with the witch.

- How dare you come into my garden to steal my apples? She said angrily.

- Ay! "He replied, I had to, I had to come here because I felt compelled by the danger threatening my wife. She saw your apples from the window and so great was his desire to eat them he thought he would die if not tasteless.

Then the witch said:

"If it's true what you've said, I will allow you to take as many apples you want, but in return you have to give the child your wife will have. Have a good home and I am their mother.

The man was so terrified that he agreed. When his wife gave birth to a baby girl, the witch came to his house and took it. Called Rapunzel. Rapunzel

became the most beautiful girl around the globe. When he was twelve, the witch locked her in a tower in the middle of a dense forest. The tower had no stairs or doors, only a small window on top. Each time the witch wanted to go to the top of the tower, stood under the window and shouted:

- Rapunzel, Rapunzel, throw your gold braid!

Rapunzel had a wonderful and abundant long hair, golden as the sun. Looked like gold. Whenever I hear the call Witch would loosen the hair, tied around one of the hooks of the window and let it fall to the floor. Then the witch climbed up the golden thread.

One day a prince, riding through the woods, passed through the tower and heard a glorious song that came to listen. Who sang

was Rapunzel. Attracted so melodious voice, the prince sought a door or window to enter the tower, but all in vain. However, the song had gone so deep into the heart, he did return to the forest every day to listen.

One of those days, saw the witch come to the foot of the tower. The Prince hid behind a tree to observe and heard her say:

- Rapunzel, Rapunzel, throw your gold braid! Rapunzel

dropped his long braid and the witch climbed up the window.

- Oh, this is how you enter the tower! "Said the prince. I have to try my luck.

next day at dusk, he went to the tower and knocked

- Rapunzel, Rapunzel, throw your gold braid!

Rapunzel's hair fell away and the prince climbed. At first Rapunzel was very scared when he saw a strange man, but the prince told her gently who had heard her sweet singing and melody had stolen his heart.

Then Rapunzel forgot her fear. The prince asked her if she would be his wife which he accepted immediately and without much thought because, well you saw young and beautiful, "was eager to leave the domain of that bad witch who was imprisoned in this dark castle. The prince came to visit every night and the Witch, coming only during the day, I knew nothing.

One day, in his ascent, the witch took a big pull on the Rapunzel braid and she reacted by committing a terrible mistake, he asked

"Tell me, why are so heavy that my hair strips, while the prince goes to me, fast and hurt me?

-girl cried the wicked witch, what do I hear? So I've been cheating!

In his fury, the witch seized Rapunzel's beautiful hair, rolled it a few times around his hand and quickly cut it. All golden hair and beautiful braids fell to the floor. Then the witch took Rapunzel to a remote location and left to live in solitude.

That evening, after dark, the witch hid in the tower. Soon came the king's son and knocked

- Rapunzel, Rapunzel, throw your gold braid!

When the witch heard the call of the prince, tied the poor Rapunzel's hair to a hook in the window and dropped to the ground. The prince climbed up the window and what was his surprise when he found the wicked witch instead of Rapunzel sweet.

She looked at him with wicked and devilish eyes and said, "You

Rapunzel lost forever. Never again will see again.!

Prince was devastated. To add to his misfortune, he fell from the window on a thicket of bush. He did not die, but the thorns of the bush was left blind.

Unable to live without Rapunzel, the prince went into the forest. He lived many years eating fruits and roots, until one day, by chance, arrived at the lonely place where Rapunzel lived in poverty.

Suddenly, she heard a melodious voice that was known and addressed to her. When I was close, Rapunzel knew him. Seeing went wild with joy, but was sad when he realized his blindness. Tenderly embraced him and wept.

Her tears fell on the prince's eyes blind. Immediately, his eyes filled light and could see as before. So happy to be reunited with his love, Rapunzel was his kingdom, where they married and lived happily ever after.
Regarding the story, as I suppose adivinaréis, the film has changes, giving more importance to Rapunzel and converting it from a girl at the mercy of a young witch who wants to take control of their destiny and exit tower where it is confined, also makes the prince in a shameless thief more expensive than back, and some other things "made in Disney" as companions critters, but in general are changes that benefit the story, which has a dramatic point quite important (and a little tear, but not too much). The story is very well run, with tender moments, funny, fast-paced chases and final happy, very in line with the classics, and is a pleasure to see how Disney put the batteries compared to other big Dreamworks Animation as and Fox, and while Pixar part of Disney, the study itself was losing a little folding and losing ground. Let's go

animation, which highlight the hair. The hair of Rapunzel is the leitmotif of the film and as an important element is very well maintained. An example is the fact that Kelly Ward , hair software engineer (one of three software specialists in charge of simulating the hair of Rapunzel and the main characters in the film) a Ph.D. in computer science with a thesis studying hair and spent ten years specializing in this area. That means you can almost touch the blond hair and seems to be really, quite an achievement in my opinion, as the latest investment in technology was not very realistic hair much they say. The rest of the animation very fluid and generally without drawbacks, more and more expressive human characters (and animals) and especially the eyes of the actors convey emotions in a way not seen before.

third point characters. I will say that Rapunzel is the first Disney princess with rednecks and that makes more than cute, apart from those expressive big eyes you have. very vital and even "childish" , but of course, if I estuvera 18 years in a tower without leaving too hysterical to put me out. The spunky of Flyn t remember me Aladdin to the movement of eyebrows you have, the hair and brash, but only a vague recollection, as this cheeky bastard conqueror is our favorite Arab. And the bad terrible, Gothel Mother, bears a resemblance to Michelle Pfeiffer scary.

The soundtrack to run this time by Oscar winner Alan Menken , a specialist in doing that we remember the Broadway musical with songs like "Mother Knows Best" . Without doubt the best of the best to give Enredados own entity, and some songs that are catchy, but to me this time it has happened to me possibly because I was more interested in the visual. But now listen to the CD fixes it, alone.

In short, it's nice to see Disney doing what they do best: stories. And I hope this film is a beginning of a new era for the study. Disney good girl as I am.
tirade
For if you are not convinced, I give you three reasons to go see it:
  1. I never laughed to mourn with a Disney movie, and it has succeeded. Twice.
  2. hair. You have to see what they have achieved with texture hair.
  3. Maximus and Pascal. I want a chameleon.
For those who are curious, I leave a link to a comprehensive report of the Disney blog informed of where you will find sketches, clips, interviews and trivia about the making of this film, you enjoy it.
