El Jovencito Frankenstein (1974, Mel Brooks) no es solo una desternillante comedia. Hay q empezar a verla ya como 1 de las grandes cumbres del Cine. Tiene uno de los mejores "storyboard" q recuerdo y su tratamiento de la luz y del B/N son increíbles. OBRA MAESTRA impepinable 🎥🎬
Me sorprenden las personas que no parecen comprender que se puede diferir muchísimo sobre algo con alguien y estar, a la vez, de acuerdo en otras cosas. E incluso que unas y otras puedan ser importantes. Al parecer no sirve. Hay que odiar o amar el paquete completo.
Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.
One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??
The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.
Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

Yo acabé 8º de EGB y en casa la celebración fue: “Muy bien. Baja la basura”.
Ahora acaban la ESO y parece la gala de los Oscar: trajes, vestidos, maquillaje, 37 fotos familiares y la abuela llorando como si hubieran ganado un Nobel.
Esto se nos ha ido de las manos.
El armatoste ese de los hoteles para calentar una tostada a cámara lenta por una cinta transportadora y que termina saliendo por abajo es de un anacronismo que me conmueve. Me encanta. Solo mejorable si notas el aliento impaciente en la nuca de otros huéspedes esperando
