is back. I waited anxiously, and many expect it, like good well chosen to follow the advances. But he, Hank Moody, did not have it done to stay hidden until 2011 and then the previews of the series are already online since yesterday.
But what is the mechanism that attracts so much in Californication? Several times I asked myself this question, I have not yet found a partial solution. Made out of the crowd of horny watching the series only for the constant sex scenes (of course the critical negative series accuse all those who enjoy being part of this part of the public), I think there are many types of audiences attracted by large product quality:
- First of all, the whole structure of the plot, one must mention the great depth of the characters and the amount of detail that make them so attractive. To the authors' own admission, in some interview, Hank's character is modeled on the basis of Bukowski, updated and adapted to the context ... I'd say definitely an asset. The move to place a person considered a "winning", which is usually considered a successful man in life (successful writer, charming, educated but also the typical "asshole") and decadent in a difficult situation, creating scenarios in full contrast with those classics of the '80s and '90s, in which the "beautiful curse" could always get the best out of life "without ever asking" a revolution that reminds me a little 'operation that made Marvel with Spider -man & co. introducing superheroes with superproblemi landscape in which only provided comic heroes who had everything and that everything was always good.
- Dialogues fantastic, obviously a result of good people, they offer continuous smiles and laughter and food for thought. These fish are from the real thing that can not be ignored, that the stereotypes of the collective imagination, which creates the aura of Hollywood that looks fantastic and the set down on the audience (because people like to see ) ... and certainly not by chance that everything is set right in Los Angles, California.
-photography is also very strong, able to complete the sensations described above with the visual impact particular: you wider in a climate of Los Angeles who knows the beach in late September, when there is still a very pleasant temperature, but it warns tourists of the passage and not the presence.
-Last but not least David Duchovny and the cast in general. He is Hank Moody and acts in such a way that we can not imagine anyone else on the character actor. His mark on the series is so strong that it managed to shake the heavy character Molder off ... and not cheap. Duchovny also ended up directing some episodes of the series and now tell me if the camera behind you imagine in civilian clothes or in the role of Hank Moody.
PS The soundtrack is a blast! The music has an important component for Hank and for the entire series! Parts that pass are the icing on the cake.
blog will be a newborn, will be trivial and maybe even a little 'empty of meaning making wishes at impersonal, but who am I to escape this habit? I can only wish you (and me, excuse me if I would like) a good Christmas day when all is said to be more good (as it is very relative), now almost totally devoid of its Christian meaning. Christmas is now much more a cultural than religious, this should not necessarily be a bad thing: If the mere fact that there is a day of celebration may give a smile and a few more moments of joy to people who are believers, but no, I do not see why we should say that the transformation of meaning of Christmas is a bad thing. Of course we must not make the transformation of the meaning of this festival is only in one direction consumer ... I think I need to add more.
But again, Merry Christmas (and Happy Holidays) to all of you who read this post. Even those who will not do, but you more.
In the mill I want the bags of cookies and various products should be recyclable, fuck! Do you think it possible that a company that aims to give a self clean, healthy, traditional and natural family could ever afford to sell its products in pouches can not be recycled? To me these things are not so insignificant ... least had the good sense to write "not yet recyclable."
(sorry for the bad quality of the picture but I used the phone)
HERE is a piece on the interesting graphic design carried out by Antrepo . The bottom line is that at present, minimizes the graphics products now well established in the market could bring positive effects. Hence the opportunity for reflection: wear out our "works", making them easier and be able to reveal the essential features that characterize a quality that is slowly being lost. Mind you, I am referring not only to design, composition and other things having to do with the graphics, but also to build the environments around us, our "style" living the life or another. In general I think we should pay much attention to the ability to identify what is most important, build the rest on, and by eliminating or putting in any case, a whole series of ancillary things that may only encumbered the eye as well as the mind. It is certainly not an easy thing, but it seems worth trying. In conclusion I must mention the works by Olly Moss, fantastic illustrator and author of numerous posters of famous movies in the most minimalist style. I invite you to take a look at all your site , emblem of minimalism.
What could be better, on Saturday evening, falling asleep in the back seat (the heat) of a car that takes you home after drinking and eating a free ride all night? Every now and then, being pampered, pampering is a pleasure that brings you back to a past of a child brought to bed Having rejoiced in her arms and wandered throughout the day.
It is not the first time he launches a blog, nor the first time that I do so with serious intent (which is still serious in the sense that it is not clear). Here I would like to express my strong oxymorons, the various expressions of my not-being-something and maybe even find a tool in which to channel my stream of counsciousness. Riempitomi the mouth of big words, maybe even pretentious (ops..) Manifesto also my prediction of "cybernetic solitude": They do not think that someone claiming to be able to include in these reflections and ravings! I confess, I did everything just to lose a whole day to create this stuff, black, yellow and orange around here. Greetings to those who pass by chance!
this dirty thing that we insist on calling democracy
"Often we have printed the word Democracy. But I do not tire of repeating that one word is the real meaning of which is still dormant, not yet awake, despite the resonance of many furious storms which are originated from its syllables, from pens or languages. It is a great word, whose history, I suppose, has not yet been written, because that story has yet to be implemented. "
This phrase is Walt Whitman, and dates back almost 150 years ago ', but unfortunately is still present yesterday was .... not consumed the defeat of Berlusconi's government, with a majority, on balance of 50.07%, now, I do not want to dwell on the result itself, as he personally hoped for a heavy to distrust, to be honest me expected, I expected because Italian politics is made by people who would be better off in some television program De Filippi, or some type reality show Big Brother.
I followed all the live yesterday, and what I saw was a lot of people arguing, to the choirs, insult, waving flags and even take a punch, the same thing that happens every Sunday at the stadium, the same thing from these people will always be justly condemned, I saw our parliamentarians, paid fine money, take the form of a flock of sheep in disarray, I've seen people severely abused and scorned for having expressed their vote, I saw the League to criticize those who used strong tones, their own! Those of the middle finger always raised by Bossi, who does not curse at least once if you do not understand that the speech is over. I saw Berlusconi and opposition worried more worried about him, saying things I saw Di Pietro right with the wrong tone, as usual, I saw Berlusconi refused to listen, I've seen the likes of Casini and Mouthpiece suddenly become bastions dell'antiberlusconismo until recently when 'the people in defending the very same issues, I Fini saw one of the few people made in the middle of that mess, I saw a few people set among a mass of sheep dumb, blinded by money and power, attached to his chair as the mussels Torque tube loose from a climate in which they themselves have caused I saw this and I barely kept retching.
Italian politics, as it stands now is nothing but a loss to Italy. The right and the left does not nothing to do with the ideologies are gone, there are only a few hundred people who had long passed retirement age who refuse to retire and you play cards in the future of 60 million people. Everyone has his faults, such as opposition to the government, but I'm tired of having to vote for the lesser evil! I'm sick of seeing the most absurd contradictions, I'm sick of seeing as troglodytes Calderoli or Brunetta or do other competition to see who shoots the biggest crap, I'm tired of seeing politicians and journalists to defend part of the political sword on duty just because " is part of the party, "I'm tired of seeing entrepreneurs who take to politics, I'd like to see someone Policy the desire to do for the country and not to make money, I'm sick of seeing whores in parliament to talk about equal opportunity, I'm tired of seeing an opposition that instead of proposing an alternative is lost in the nuances and gossip, I'm tired of hear every day that some politician is placed under investigation for any offense, I'm tired of seeing politicians scream, I'm sick of feeling that is always the fault of someone else, I'm tired of seeing people with money in his underwear to talk about who struggles to get to the end of the month, I'm sick of feeling that whatever happens is the fault of the crisis, I'm sick of seeing that our ruling class if they fuck any problem that does not touch them in your wallet, I'm tired of seeing Mafiosi, corrupt, convicted tax evaders and criminals to sit at various Deputies, I'm sick of seeing that thousands of people who protest and demonstrate on the streets are systematically ignored, I'm sick of seeing a government that was the same for 8 the last 10 years and continues to give all the blame to the left, a government that in 2 ½ years has blocked the Italian economy and politics to worry about saving your ass to Berlusconi, the opposition are tired worst in history, are sick of everything right except make work right, I'm tired of a left which Berlinguer would be ashamed, I'm sick of all this mass of people who centrodestracentrosinistracentrocentrosopraesotto would sell his own mother in exchange for a seat in parliament, who preaches good and evil scratching, because they feel their speeches are all right, everybody! From first to last, they all say the same things the same things, too bad then what they say or promise on time do not. The league is a life that says "federalism now, but still no sign of federalism, Berlusconi spoke of the" contract with Italians "but has yet to make a cock, and to us who we pay the penalty for a contract is not respected ? The left attacks Berlusconi because he is not right that owns three television stations and half of the national press but a law against conflict of interest did not made, the only thing they should do with the narrow majority that Prodi had won, too bad that the interests not only gave them to Silvio, we have them a bit 'all, so why every time they say they do things for the good of the country? Where are the ideas and the sense of responsibility? How did we get to the point where the only politicians who seem consistent with themselves and their ideas are of stone and panel?
I hate more than the right, which by definition and history is one that demands strict compliance with the law, is led by a law that cares! I can not stand more than the left, which historically meant that "unity is strength" is divided over bullshit! I can not stand that the government talks of meritocracy and then the members of the PDL are almost all political novices who are there because friends and / or lovers and / or hygienists and / or massage and / or cousins \u200b\u200bof a relative of a friend of a Silvio's friend! I'm sick of Bossi, who until a few years ago 'wanted to secede and "throw the flag in the toilet", and is now the minister, with much of the oath of allegiance to the state and the Italian flag! I'm sick of that right is in favor of the Christian roots of Italy and in defense of family values \u200b\u200bwhen they are all unmarried or divorced or whoremongers! I can not stand more than in Italy or six red and six black, I can not stand is that if Berlusconi fucked up and say that he fucked up are a communist, and if Bersani is a bullshit and I say that's fucked up is a fascist! I have left, but I have the sacrosanct right to be happy if the right is the right thing. I have a right and duty to have my own idea to think with my head and express my opinion, and so should those who represent us, everyone should vote with his head, and not to "follow the line of party, "the party line shit! If my party is proposing a law and I do not agree with voting against, and not only have the right to do so, it is my duty to do so, I have a duty to participate actively in political life, and not just sit there in a chair obey the leader because so give me a lot of money!
Italy is more and more in our politicians and the shit do they do? We argue a piece of bread, they insult each other, they go all the talk shows of this world to talk to him and complain. The whole world is facing the crisis and Berlusconi boasts of having maintained the balances of the accounts was a shame that it had cut supplies to the school, culture, art, research, new technology and everything with which you might look to the future. All pro-Berlusconi to applaud, not thinking that Italy has stopped investing, and who does not invest not earn, and you do not earn close businesses and leave on foot the employees, employees without a job lose purchasing power, in the long run the market crashes, so why instead of making the amnesty does not claim all the money to those who have escaped? Why do we always talk about the cost of politics and when two weeks ago 'the IDV has proposed the abolition of annuities by thousands and thousands of euro that are given to all MPs who voted against?
Why the decision, the choice of whether or not it is right that the government is moving forward after these 2 and a half years, it is up to them? Why do not all Italians? Given that "the majority of Italians are with the government," why do not you ask them? It 'was announced the government crisis? Well, then organizing a referendum, a nice little question to all Italian, you want the government to go on? Yes / No. This is democracy! This means "government of the people"! So governments will in future not be able to get their cabbages, because the people who elected them should have the power to knock them down, otherwise let's call for more democracy, not because it is not. Why fill your mouth so much to talk about democracy? Democracy is more democracy is to have a ruling class that represents all of Italy, from the poorest to the richest, from north to south, the employer by the worker, democracy means that politicians must have the good sense to admit when they are wrong, democracy means "let us stop to ask us Who is to blame and solve the situation with "democracy means that laws are made for the country, and not one person, democracy means that if thousands of demonstrators take to the streets should listen to their reasons, would want democracy say all these things in Italy, but this mean it takes serious political, with a minimum of the brain, a minimum of dignity, a little common sense and the balls to do what needs to be done, democracy, first of all, it means honesty, and I think in parliament are few who can say ....

Here I am finally really begin to be popular this blog,
The argument that I want to address today is one of those topics that are discussed from time immemorial and for which will continue to discuss my opinion forever.
Saviano's monologue to "Come away with me" and the tragic news of the death of Maestro Mario Monicelli has reignited the controversy over euthanasia (unfortunately the wrong way, since the day of remembrance of our Master MPs have shown the usual clowns arguing like kindergarten children).
The question is always the same, it is right that a person has the right to decide to end their lives? It 'obvious that if the answer was easy would not have centuries of controversies behind him, and because this blog is intended to give space to the argument, I try to articulate my own, and wait to read yours ....
I think every man should have the right to determine one's life to the fullest until the end, and this includes death, not because life is important and should not be respected, but for its' opposite, because everybody should respect life, but above all their others. To me the point is that, quoting a good movie as Radiofreccia, "I think it is fair to judge the lives of others, however, because you can not know its a shit of life of others." I think anyone can fully understand what may be the reasons why a person arrives at a death wish. To understand them we should have lived the same life, and I think, beyond any political manipulation, or religious journalism being done about this, everyone in the place, maybe not Monicelli, but certainly a number of Piergiorgio Welby, Eluana etc.., wish for death in the same way, not to despise life, but to honor her with a dignified end.
The church continues to condemn euthanasia because it is for God to decide whether to live or to kill a person, but then does not go against this commandment also keep alive a person attached to machines for years? It's not a huge leap of faith to say "Staccatemi the plug, God willing I will continue to live? And then the conversation really is not whether or not it is right to decide for euthanasia, but can reach up to where the concept of life. E 'life remain attached to a machine in terms of a vegetable? I think not, or at least not decent life, is unacceptable because you are no longer the protagonists of their own lives, but mere puppets, helpless and without any power, it is not dignified because in these conditions we can not give happiness to their families, but to a moment of hope that we know perfectly well be in vain, is unacceptable because who does not know you, who do not understand your suffering and your reasons wants decide for you, is unacceptable because you can not freely give up, is unacceptable because even in war, prisoners, before dying last wish was allowed, while in a civil society that says it does not.
deserve great respect for all those who in these conditions continue to struggle and resist, but I think we deserve the same respect those who are tired of struggling, those who for their terminal illness care in going to see peace, confident that that is the last pain caused to family and friends. And the parents deserve respect, those who believe in forever, but perhaps they deserve more than those who ask to switch off, because it takes time, courage, and before you judge you should try to even imagine the pain of a man as the father of Eluana asking to let their daughter die, I personally do not think there can be a pain in the world more terrible, and in front of a pain as this there should be no political speeches, ethical or religious reasons, there should be people for or against, but only a respectful and dignified silence.
