Alanis!

OK. Finally some life to Alanis Morissette. This video is simply genious. She covered a mock up song like "My Humps" from Black Eyed Peas and "made it her own". I'm loving it as much as the original! Good Job!




Amazing!

The reality about polysics

Last time I posted about polysics (it was the post below) I posted the video with the full "girl in the dance mode" sequence instead of the more sureal video. I discovered that it had another sequel and a different alternate video. And here I am here to keep you informed about it.

The first video I saw (trust me, it is different)

Recommended-Late January

Music: Thanks to Pink Monday, for helping me discover Mika. This artist's song "Grace Kelly" is so good, I have the tune in my mind all the time. I got an earlier listening to his upcoming CD Life in cartoon motion and it's very good. Other recommended songs are: "Big Girl", "Relax, take it easy" and "Love Today", which was used in a (Red) commercial.

Movies: El Laberinto de Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth)- Topped my all time favorite movies. The film is a flawless mix of fantasy and reality in Spain 1944. La Letrina posted a nice review of the movie here.

DVDs: Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices- Hate corporations? Concerned about Wal-Mart's mischievous ways? This documentary is good for you (also is very informative). Not a Bowling for Columbine but entertaining and emotional enough to get your attention.

Jesus Camp- This is the most terrifying thing I've seen. Fundamentalist Christians are taking over the world. Doubt it? Then check this out. This documentary is shocking. How people brainwash little kids into becoming an army of Jesus is frightening enough by shaping a "black and white" society even more. Highly Recommended.

PS. Those of you who haven't seen Dreamgirls, do so! Yes, it was dumbly snubbed by the Oscars but the movie is really good. If not interested on that at least have the dignity to watch the stellar and Oscar and SAG worthy performance of Jennifer Hudson!

On Scrubs Musical and Betty's Mystery

I only watch two shows on Thursdays: ABC's critically acclaimed Ugly Betty and NBC's superb Scrubs. Yes, Thursday nights are nights to watch the ugly and the insanity of hospitals.

Tonight they both ran great shows. On Betty, finally the mysterious person was revealed and I am glad I saw that coming for a while. It was shocking, but I knew it. I'm dying to see the chemistry between Wilhelmina Slater (Vannessa Williams) and Alexis ( Rebecca Romijn). Also the ongoing chemistry between Betty and her boss was tender. And don't we just love Amanda?

Scrubs ran a musical episode today. It was not Once More with Feeling from Buffy the Vampire Slayer but was good enough to give it a run for its money. The premise was clever and fittingly to the show: a woman that after an accident only hears people singing. Mix this with the previously established storylines and you got a hit. The coolest parts of the episode were trying to find the musical which the songs were homaging. The plus songs were "All in the poo" and "Guy Love", but what I really loved in the episode (like every Scrubs episode) was the ending.

I strongly suggest that you watch the episode and watch the show! It's one of the best shows on TV and unfortunately people are watching Grey's Anatomy which is the sloppiest, dumbest and most unoriginal show on TV. They rip Scrubs constantly but without the grace and the charm.

Anyways SPOILERS: Rebeca Romijn plays a transexual.

8 degrees

8 degrees in Boston... You can bet how cold it is and how desperate I am after abandoning 80 degrees back home. But, I am back and will honor this coldness by providing some 8 freezing and harsh degrees to those who deserve them:

I will be graduating in May if everything turns out as expected (80 degrees!).

After graduation, I will be left with a huge loan to pay (8 degrees!).

I survived a holiday of partying, bitch slapping, drinking and insanity (80 degrees!).

I re bonded with old friends and became indifferent to newer ones (80 degrees to old, 8 degrees to new!).

Roselló is set free (8 degrees!).

Primera Hora finds information regarding to the judge who released Roselló (80 degrees!).

No one died of loose bullets during the holidays

(80 degrees!).

I am still single (80 degrees and 8 degrees!).

Global warming's effects hits the northeast and center of the United States (8 degrees).

Saddam Hussein's hanging (-80 degrees!).

I have no job (8 degrees!).

Bush wants to send more troops to Irak (-80 degrees!).

Jennifer Hudson becomes the lead contender for the Oscar Nominations after winning the Golden Globe award for best supporting actress (80 degrees!).

Omarosa will guest star on I love New York (80 degrees!).

Desperate Housewives is the #1 show in USA (80 degrees!).

Grey's Anatomy wins the award for Best Dramatic Show in the Golden Globes
(-80 degrees!).

A new year arrives, hopefully it'll top the last one (80 degrees!).

The tale of two road trips

In June 2006, me and 4 other friends went on a road trip around the island. In some ways it changed our lives.

Pink Monday finally posted the last of four videos documenting the travels, the conversations, the exitement, the wackiness of our trip.

In November 2006, three friends went out on a road trip from Washington to Boston. I met with them in New York City where a series of posts like La Escuelita and the Macy's Day Parade took place. Enjoy the first part of their road trip.

Spiderman 3

I was a little skeptic with Spiderman's direction. Rumors of a new love interest and 3 villains in a 2 hour movies kept me wondering if the movie would reach out to the same level of the previous two.

Last night CBS aired the newest trailer of the movie and everything changed my mind. The trailer is amazing. I don't think I can't wait to watch the movie.

However, I don't understand the reason to bring Gwen Stacy to the show right now. As we all know she was killed in the comics by the Green Goblin, causing Spidey to kill him. I don't know how that is going to work. At least we got some more of James Franco and Topher Grace's part looks promising.

Below is the trailer!

This one is so important that no screen reduction will be done!

PS. The Sandman thing... will it work?

Big Monsters! Huge Drama!

Sphadoinkel!

Last May something awful happened in Boston. Dr. Cube's threats that someone was going to die were accomplished when one of the beloved Plantain brothers was killed by someone. However, that someone turned out to be Silver Potato-legendary hero of the good side turned to the dark side.

This Friday, again in Boston, revenge might be served. Pedro Plantain will try to avenge his brother's death by fighting Silver Potato.

Kaiju Big Battel is a huge super event (performance) that mixes parodies of both: professional wrestling and tokusatsu kaiju(giant monsters) Japanese movies. It involves a lot of monster drama typical from Japanese pop culture and wrestling. What's interesting is that it has its culture on its own (fighting movies, the story so far, the CD's, dolls, t-shirt and lots more). What started as a performance, it has become a cult!

I've went to Someone must die in Anime Boston 2006 and was amazed. I think we all were. Now there's no way I'm going to miss this show!

If you want to check out their site go here. Also as usual, a little video:

And another:

Whip it good!

Every single day at work I have to hear the same CD over and over. This month there's a remake of one of the 80's jewels "Whip it" from Devo. This cover is sung by a young girl. I don't know what kind people choose the music, but I work at a Kids Store. Somewhere out there little girls must be singing to little guys:

Now whip it

into shape. Shape it up,

get straight. Go forward,

move ahead. Try to detect it

it's not too late

To whip it, whip it good

So I youtubed the video and it's Great! in an 80's kind of way!

31 Minutos

I still remember the first time we saw 31 Minutos, one of the highest rated TV shows from Chile (it was on XI Latin American Encounter Felafacs). As different shows from all over Latin America were shown, me and my friends were ashamed that the only tv video from the island was an average episode of Cultura Viva.

Then, they aired 31 Minutos... and everything changed. The show's format is like a live news broadcast told by puppets. Not your average puppets, but the coolest and funniest puppets you'll ever see. It's a show made for all audiences: it's informative, funny and very original.

The news show is hosted by Julio Traviño and the staff and technical crew are part of the drama. The show, among the situations Traviño deals with the staff and everybody's superhero Calcetin Con Rombos Man, also includes a top music videos, live polls, mini documentaries and lots of things.

The show has 3 seasons and a movie is on the way. Nickelodeon began airing the first season two years ago in Latin America. In Puerto Rico, the only people who can watch it are the ones living or having cable service from Mayaguez in TvChile (i forgot the name, but I watched it).

Even up to this date, we still remember this show. We've search the internet; found videos; checked the merchandises, dolls, notebooks.... We're obsessed! and ashamed... on Local TV that a low budget (but incredibly well scripted and organized) show managed to capture hearts of Latin America. Meanwhile we're still stuck with shows like Que Suerte and Dueña y Señora.

Here are some great videos:

The flavor of Entertainment

I will post a more profound (if any) post on the Flavor of Love phenomenon. Meanwhile I will leave this for entetainment.

This lady needs a show for herself! She is Drama personified!

And this one's even better!



Sadly, this will be the last season.
