<p>The Robot is back and David Duchovny might need an ice pack just like his character Hank Moody did in the Season Two opener "Slip of the Tongue."</p>
<p>A human must work very hard to “make” the Official List of Human Egomaniacs, but David Duchovny managed to pull off what was deemed as the near impossible and established himself as one of the most self-absorbed and egomaniacal actors of his generation...Californication is an unusually ego-driven piece of work even by Hollywood standards.  <a title="Californication Season Two Review, Slip of the Tongue" href="http://www.hdfest.com/robot/californication_robot.html">Read the full review here.</a></p></blockquote>

Seit diesem Vorfall, hat er es einfach nicht fertig gebracht auch nur ein einziges Wort zu schreiben.</p>
<p>Auch wenn Hank in einem "Sexüberfluss" lebt, kann er trotzallem die Liebe zu Karen Moody (<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natascha_McElhone" target="_blank">Natascha McElhone</a>), der Mutter seiner Tochter Becca (Madeleine Martin) nicht mehr unterdrücken und versucht sie daher um jeden Preis ihrem Verlobten Bill Lewis (Damian Young) auszuspannen, leider ohne grösseren Erfolg.</p>
<p>Zu allem Unglück, schläft Hank dann auch noch mit Bill's minderjähriger Tochter; Mia (<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeline_Zima" target="_blank">Madeline Zima</a>).</p>
<p>Eine spannende Storyline aus Sex, Liebe, Intrigen und Betrügen beginnt,</p>
<p>Einige Kritiker nennen Californication sogar "Sex and the City - für Männer" ganz meine Meinung.</p>

<p>i almost forgot that this glorious fucking show is back on in less than a week.</p>
<p>for those who dont watch, david duchovny plays hank moody. a self loathing, self depricating alcoholic. he sleeps with way too many women and always finds the worst in every situation.</p>
<p>so he pretty much plays himself.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>regardless the show is amazing. if you dont have showtime, get it.</p>
<p>if having dexter was not a good enough excuse already......</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Et oui, depuis la récupération d'une connexion adsl digne de ce nom (encore merci Traoré! cf), j'ai pu relancé <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">le téléchargement </span>la récupération des épisodes de <strong>Californication saison 2</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Je viens de regarder <strong>le premier épisode</strong> en mangeant mes pastas devant mon écran. Je ne savais pas à quoi m'attendre vu la fin de la saison 1 (!). A l'époque je m'étais dit qu'il serait difficile de poursuivre sur la vie de Hank sachant qu'il avait retrouvé sa dulcinée...J'étais <strong>sceptique et curieux</strong> en même temps.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">ET j'avoue que je n'ai pas été déçu! On retrouve vraiment l'esprit cynique de la première saison. Déjà <strong>une ou deux scènes mythiques</strong> dans cet épisode:</p>
<ul style="text-align:justify;">
<li>La première de l'épisode avec <strong>la capote </strong>(que celui ou celle qui n'a jamais connu ce type de situation me jette <strong>la première pierre</strong>! ). Bref, ça démarre fort...</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align:justify;">
<li>Puis l'opération des valseuses et la drague <strong>"rentre-dedans"</strong> de l'infirmière (que celui qui a déjà croisé une infirmière aussi dévergondée me donne l'adresse de son hôpital).</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align:justify;">
<li>La scène avec la "surfeuse" croisée dans un supermarché, devant un <strong>handicapé qui salive</strong> sur la belle et qui hallucine quand Hank l'a renvoie dans ses 22. Très bon!</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align:justify;">
<li>Et puis pour finir la scène avec le flic où Hank finit a<strong>vec une matraque</strong> entre les valseuses (oui, l'homme pressé aime l'expression "les valseuses" depuis le film de B. Blier ;) ).</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sur ce, je vais prendre <strong>deux petits suisses</strong> et lancer l'épisode 2...</p>

Finito in prigione, è Bill ad andare a prenderlo. Hank reincontra la rossa Meredith, con cui aveva avuto un breve, sfortunato appuntamento al buio, e inizia in modo bizzarro una relazione con lei (entra di nascosto nella casa dell'uomo sposato che lei frequenta infelicemente, rubando un cane e un quadro!). Intanto l'agente e amico di Hank, Charlie, scopre che la sua assistente Dani, per quanto incompetente, ha altre interessanti qualità.</p></blockquote>

<p>dodici episodi di mezz'ora per un totale di sei ore di accanito divertimento..  quante volte mi sono ritrovato a ridere come un cretino davanti al computer!!</p>
<p>avevo visto un pezzo di questo dissacrante programma (con il buon vecchio fox molder/David Duchovny di x-files) e mi aveva subito interessato.. forse perchè un pò più spinto del solito e un pò meno conosciuto del solito..  sta di fatto che tutti vorremo essere come hank moody, (tutti) almeno un pò..  e forse c'è un pò di hank nei sogni di ogni ragazzo: donne (tante), macchine cappottabili con molta personalità, un lavoro creativo, hard rock e libertà di essere e fare tutto quello che vuoi..</p>
<p>un antieroe caduto dal cavallo bianco che giorno dopo giorno (ed epidodio dopo episodio) cerca di trovare la retta via per essere compreso e per comprendere sè stesso, per riconquistare l'amore della sua vita (bella com'era stata bella in The Truman Show), e per essere un buon padre per una figlia assolutamente più saggia del normale..  peccato che (come accade per dottor house) il principale nemico del protagonista, è il protagonista stesso..</p>
<p>sarà che la redenzione per una vita di peccati possa essere davvero sul fondo di un bicchiere di whisky: "<em>wine is fine, but whisky is quicker</em>".. sarà che l'amore è davvero l'unica regola e legge dell'universo.. sarà che in media stiamo davvero diventando tutti molto più stupidi..  sarà che tutti utilizziamo la scusa dei piccoli peccati quotidiani, per evadere da una vita di routine..</p>
<p>sarà!! ma purtroppo hanno cominciato a girare la seconda stagione.. e, visto quel che successe per la triologia di matrix, non la guarderò.. la prima m'ha regalato fin troppe emozioni che non voglio sprecar su un programma che, facilmente, continuerà (solo) per far soldi e non per appasionare..</p>
<p>grazie hank, grazie di tutto.. e addio.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="line-height:10pt;text-align:center;">   <a href="http://jonswall.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/californication1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-175" title="californication1" src="http://jonswall.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/californication1.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="388" /></a></p>
<p style="line-height:11pt;">   For nogle måneder siden opdagede jeg en ny serie, <em>Californication</em> (ingen relation til sangen), imens jeg, sent en fredag aften, sad og stenede foran fjernsynet. Jeg blev straks meget optaget af hvad jeg så, og lige så skuffet blev jeg da jeg opdagede at der kun blev sendt ét afsnit om ugen. Der er tale om en udmærket historie krydset med en refleksion over den vestlige verdens dekadence krydset med god humor krydset med sort livssyn krydset med en noget krydret sprogbrug og billeder der på grund af slet skjult seksuelt indhold givet er censurerede mange steder i verden. Serien er produceret af den amerikanske købekanal Showtime.<br />
 </p>
<p>   I skal være advarede, denne serie har været emne for mangen en kontrovers på den anden side af Atlanten på grund af sprogbrugen, den store mængde nøgen hud der bliver vist frem og hovedpersonens overforbrug af både cigaretter og alkohol. F. eks. viser den første scene hovedpersonen der går ind i en kirke, slukker sin cigaret i vievandet og får et blowjob af en nonne. Med andre ord er det ikke en serie for barnlige sjæle. Dette ville være én af de eneste grunde jeg kan se til at undlade at se serien (specielt hvis der er små børn tæt på skærmen). Jeg vil gerne understrege at dette heller ikke er selve essensen af serien, det ikke porno, og det ville da også være tegn på en lidt indskrænket sjæl, at man udelukkende fokuserede på sex, når serien har så mange interessante pointer.</p>
<p>   Serien handler om Hank Moody, forfatter med svær skriveblokering, et livssyn mørkere end natten og et forlist ægteskab bag sig. Hans datter, Rebecca, bor nu for det meste sammen med ekskonen, Karen, hendes kæreste, Bill og hans datter, Mia. I første afsnit begår Hank, uden at vide det, den fejl at gå i seng med 16årige Mia og får derefter at vide at Karen har tænkt sig at gifte sig med Bill. Hovedplottet i serien er dermed lagt: får Hank sin kone tilbage inden brylluppet? Han prøver i hvert fald hver gang de ses, udover at han, som det meget elegant bliver ytret "fuck everything he meets!" og drikker for meget. Da Hank er i pengenød, og han i øvrigt ikke er i stand til at skrive noget, får han til opgave at holde en blog for et blad ejet af, finder han ud af, ingen anden end Bill.</p>
<p>   Personen Hank er meget interessant. For det første er han bare <em>cool</em>. Han er indbegrebet på det enhver mand drømmer om at være, og enhver kvinde vil have. Ved første øjekast. For Hank har nemlig den dårlige vane at ødelægge alting for sig selv og tage alle de andre med sig i faldet. For det andet så er hans livssyn så sort at det kun kan være elskeligt. Hans bog hedder faktisk <em>God Hates us All</em>. Ydermere er han arketypen på den dekadente livsstil i den vestlige verden, han går i seng med enhver kvinde han møder, ikke kun enlige, han ryger, ikke kun cigaretter, han drikker for meget, han kommer ofte op at slås og glemmer for det meste sine gode manerer hvis han da har nogen. Det interessante er at Hank rent faktisk er et godt menneske. Trods alle sine laster er Hank faktisk en god far for sin datter, han forbyder hende f. eks. at bande , en god ven for sin agent, han undlader ikke at kritisere det da Charlie, som han hedder, er sin kone utro og en god forelsket mand, han vil trods alt sin ekskones bedste. Dette får én til at undre sig, burde vi ikke bare smide moral i skraldespanden og så nyde livet? Jeg mener selvfølgelig som kristen at vi bør gøre det gode, men det er etik. Al den moral der desværre følger med kristendommen er mig meget fremmed; hvordan skader det Gud eller andre mennesker at man drikker, ryger, har sex osv.? De kan læse mere om min tro, ærværdige læser, <a href="http://jonswall.wordpress.com/lidt-om-mig/" target="_blank">her</a>. Sidst men ikke mindst er hans tanker meget interessante: er det ikke vores pligt at værne om vores sprog? Er Hollywood ikke moderne hedenskabs Rom? Er velgørenhedsarrangementer ikke dybest set dobbeltmoralske? Hank spilles af tidligere <em>X-files</em>-stjerne David Duchovny.</p>
<p>   Denne serie er, helt i tråd med Hank, som det bliver udtrykt af denne sidstes 12årige datter om hans bog "et værk af nihilisme der dog er dybt forankret i romantismen". For selvom serien glorificerer både en livsform som mange ville anse for uanstændig og det moderne menneskes "hvad-er-dog-meningen-med-hele-denne-tomme-verden"-livssyn, så giver serien os også et, om noget, romantisk svar på dette spørgsmål: nyd livet, vær dig selv, gør det gode og kæmp for det du elsker. Serien er ved første øjekast først en mandeform af <em>Sex and the City</em>, ved andet er det en historie om den store tomhed og meningsløshed der er at finde hos moderne mennesker, men ved tredje øjekast er det en livsbekræftende og glad fortælling. Man kan vælge kun at se én af siderne af serien, ingen af dem er jo decideret uinteressante men en ultimativ combo af alle sider synes jeg er perfekt. Når humoren så oven i købet er i top, så er der ikke noget at klage over.</p>
<p>   Nok er serien god, men er den kunst? Mit svar på dette spørgsmål er, sikkert til manges forargelse, ja. Forskellen på dekoration/underholdning og kunst er at de første kræver kreativitet til at forestille sig det skabte og hænder til at realisere det, imens kunst også kræver noget tredje: hjerne. Man skal have et budskab med det man skaber, og det skal være gennemtænkt. Denne serie har, om nogen, hjerne, udover det er historien god og selve æstetikken fantastisk. Derfor vil jeg mene at <em>Californication</em> mere end bare underholdning, det er kvalitetsfjernsyn og filmkunst i god form.</p>
<p>   Der er i øvrigt mange der siger at det innovative i filmbranchen vil komme fra seriefronten. Jeg har tendens til at være enig. Med serier som <em>Nip/Tuck</em>, <em>Desperate Housewives</em> og i den lidt mere obskure ende, <em>Kingdom Hospital</em>, Stephen Kings gentænkning af Lars Von Triers <em>Riget</em>, har vi i flere år set kvalitetsværker kommer fra serieverdenen. <em>Californication</em> ligger i naturlig forlængelse af <em>Nip/Tuck</em> og denne udvikling generelt.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>   Første sæson er færdig, og sæson to er i gang med at blive sendt i U.S.A. men jeg er ikke overbevist om at vi kan forvente helt samme niveau fra næste sæson. Første sæson havde en "endegyldig" ende og derfor tvivler jeg på at der kan komme noget interessant ud af det. Ydermere har jeg hørt at Hank skulle blive en <em>good guy</em> senere hen, sådan én der prøver at holde op med at ryge osv., og det er jo unægtelig mindre tankeprovokerende at se en artig fyr være et godt menneske end en uartig én af slagsen. Men hvad, jeg kan tage fejl. Desuden er det jo ikke fordi serien mister i kvalitet at man ikke stadig kan få sig et godt grin. Så nyd det.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>E dopo l'appuntamento con Nip/Tuck, stasera (15 Settembre 2008, alle 24.00 circa) su Italia1, c'è l'appuntamento con lo scrittore più intrigante del momento Hank Moody, con il secondo episodio. <em><strong>(<a href="http://secondside.wordpress.com/2008/09/09/californication-su-italia-1-come-su-secondside/" target="_blank">per chi si fosse perso il primo episodio, qui il riassunto</a>).</strong></em></p>

<blockquote><p>"Hank accetta di partecipare ad una cena fra amici a casa di Karen e del suo fidanzato Bill, che non può che rivelarsi molto turbolenta: Hank finisce per fumare marijuana e fare sesso con Sonja, adepta di Scientology, nella camera da letto di Karen e Bill; per gli effetti del "fumo", vomita su un prezioso quadro d'arte contemporanea. Dopo essersi infine deciso a scrivere un blog per <em>Hell-A Magazine</em>, scopre che il suo datore di lavoro è proprio Bill."</p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I've been looking over things I meant to post about, but for one reason or another never got around to, I thought I'd just hit them all.  In fact, I'll hit most of Gonzogeek's main topics.</p>
<p>Here we go.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
[caption id="attachment_256" align="alignleft" width="202" caption="Star Wars - The Clone Wars"]<a href="http://gonzogeek.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/star_wars_the_clone_wars.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-256" title="star_wars_the_clone_wars" src="http://gonzogeek.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/star_wars_the_clone_wars.jpeg?w=202" alt="Star Wars - The Clone Wars" width="202" height="300" /></a>[/caption]
<p><strong>Star Wars:  The Clone Wars</strong></p>
<p>The first ever feature length animated Star Wars movie came out this summer with a resounding thud.  We took the kids to see it and they loved it.  I was bored within the first 5 minutes.  It was bad enough that we got a voiceover instead of the traditional story crawl to open the movie.  Then we were treated to 90 minutes of clunky animation and more tedious storytelling in the usual Lucas manner.  How is it possible that this man hasn't learned to tell a decent story in over 30 years?  We got a fey Hutt who sounded like Truman Capote (allegedly at Lucas' request), a cameo by Mace Windu (Sam needed some more box office dollars to keep pace with Harrison Ford I guess) and a female padwan for Anakin.  Overall, it was a slow moving boring excuse for a toy commercial. <!--more--></p>

<p><strong>Californication</strong></p>
<p>We grabbed the DVDs of the Showtime series through Netflix this summer.  The show opened with Hank Moody (David Duchovny) getting a blowjob from a nun.  It was a dream sequence, but it sure set the tone for the show.  Given Mr. Duchovny's recent issues, the show has a different look going into season 2, but I'm looking forward to checking it out when it hits DVD.  This show is smart, dark and quite funny.  The cast is strong and their chemistry is undeniable.  Added bonus?  The word "broner."  Double bonus?  Paula Marshall nude.  Check out the DVDs.</p>

<p>Chuck Klosterman's autobiographical cross-country journey is a great read.  His job is to drive from New York to LA and visit all of the famous rock and roll death sites along the way.  He starts at the NYC hotel where Sid Vicious bought the farm and then hits the road in a Ford Taurus (Tauntaun).  Along the way Klosterman examines his love life and finds that rock stars aren't the only things that die.  Relationships do too.  Full of great pop culture references and self-deprecation.  Good read.</p>

<p><strong>The Houston Astros</strong></p>
<p>It's been a long summer at Minute Maid Park.  The Astros, with little to no pitching, have been the NL Central bitches for most of the summer.  With a late season surge that is clearly too little too late, the Astros have given me absolutely no indication that they will be any better next year.  We need pitching and we need it badly.  The one upside?  We did get to attend the game where Craig Biggio's number was retired.  That was pretty cool.</p>

<p><strong>Las Vegas</strong></p>
<p>It had been nearly 5 years since our last trip to Sin City.  I still love that town.  The Bellagio is still a beautiful hotel.  The upgrade to a small suite was a nice surprise.  Richard Cheese was much fun (more on that to come).  I got to take in a Las Vegas 51s (Dodgers AAA team) game and caught a foul ball.  Mamma Mia! was really good and made way more sense than the movie.  We rented a convertible and drove down the Strip with the top down.  And Lewis Black stood right behind me on the terminal train.  I'm no Danny Ocean, but I really dig Vegas.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Californication è il nuovo arrivo su Italia 1 di questa stagione insieme a Dexter e Life e va in on]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Californication è il nuovo arrivo su Italia 1 di questa stagione insieme a Dexter e Life e va in onda ogni Lunedi sera alle 24.00 circa. Fa parte della serata hot/doc insieme a Grey's Anatomy e Nip/Tuck.</p>
<p>La serie è incentrata sul personaggio di Hank Moody, affermato scrittore newyorchese in piena crisi creativa ed esistenziale che, trasferitosi nell'odiata Los Angeles per seguire la trasposizione cinematografica del suo romanzo nichilista <em>God hates us all</em> (Dio ci odia tutti), trasformato in una melensa commedia romantica intitolata <em>A crazy thing called love</em> con "Tom e Katie", deve tentare di ritrovare il suo talento, sistemare il rapporto con la ex compagna Karen, di cui è ancora innamorato, ed essere un padre presente per la figlia adolescente Becca. Sfoga tutta la sua rabbia e frustrazione nel sesso compulsivo, concedendosi continue avventure di una notte, e nella scrittura (per quanto lui non la consideri tale) di un blog per <em>Hell-A Magazine</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-963" title="californication1" src="http://secondside.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/californication1.jpg?w=1024" alt="" width="458" height="366" /></p>
<p><strong>Riassunto del primo episodio:</strong> <strong><em>Sesso e letteratura</em></strong> (Pilot)</p>
<p>Il protagonista, Hank Moody, in una chiesa, chiede a Dio di aiutarlo a rimettersi in carreggiata, ma l'aiuto che arriva è quello di un'attraente suora che si offre di fargli un pompino. Ovviamente si tratta solo di un bizzarro sogno religioso-sessuale e Hank si sveglia accanto ad una bella donna, che però non è sua moglie, anzi, il ritorno del legittimo marito lo costringe ad una precipitosa fuga. Va a prendere la figlia adolescente Becca a casa della ex compagna Karen, ma quando la porta a casa sua, lei si imbatte in una donna nel suo letto, la moglie del regista che ha realizzato l'orribile trasposizione di un suo romanzo. Nel corso dell'episodio Hank fa l'amore pure con una donna abbordata in un bar, ma soprattutto con una incontrata in libreria che nel finale scopre, con orrore, essere Mia, la figlia sedicenne del nuovo compagno, e fidanzato, di Karen.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Glädjande nyheter från väst då det nu är bekräftat att både Entourage och Californication kom]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Glädjande nyheter från väst då det nu är bekräftat att både Entourage och Californication kommer med nya säsonger i september. Enligt <a href="http://epguides.com/Californication/">epguide.com</a> ska den andra säsongen av Californication börja 28 september, men frågan är verkligen hur fortsättningen blir med tanke på hur första säsongen slutade? Kanske kommer det kännas som en overkill, den som lever får se. Även det faktum att David Duchovny nyligen lagts in på rehabcenter för <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/29/AR2008082902754.html">sexmissbruk</a> får andra säsongen att verka intressant.</p>
<p>Entourage, som vi så länge längtat efter, vars femte säsong börjar den sjunde september har en hel del intressanta gästskådespelare - bl.a Mark Wahlberg (vars liv serien är baserad på), Bow Wow, Fran Drescher (Nanny, ni vet), Kevin Pollak, Giovanni Ribisi samt vår käre gamle Martin Landau som spelade den halvdemente Bob Ryan. TV-bolaget HBO som producerar serien har varit snälla nog och lämnat ett smakprov som ni kan se nedan;</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/oOOvgkPmN-o'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/oOOvgkPmN-o&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Det ser onekligen ut att bli en trevlig höst hemma i TV-soffan.</p>

<p>Your SWTCTW bloggers (and beloved friends) <a href="http://sixwordstochangetheworld.wordpress.com/2008/06/28/hey-karen-you-are-the-coolest/">love the show</a> 'Californication'.  For those of you who do not know the show, it's basically Hank Moody (David Duchovny's character) having sex with anything that walks.  That sounds crass, but it's a really witty, well-written show that actually has a plot.  As you can imagine, I've been a leeeeeeeeetle preoccupied singing 'Kumbaya' with my fellow Democrats and have been neglecting all other news. So I was surprised/unsurprised to read that Duchovny is going into rehab for a sex addiction.  Uh oh. That can't be good.  Here is D's statement to People Magazine:</p>
<blockquote><p>"I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction.  I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."</p></blockquote>
<p>He's married to Téa Leoni.  Shame on you for being a dirty boy, David.  And it's sad that life imitates art.  But here's the difference:  Hank would nevah evah go to rehab for a sex addiction to try and get better.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was in the dark apparently, i didn't know David Duchovny had it in him. After his familar paranormal conspiracy theorist Agent Moulder character from the x-files Duchovny has struck gold in his new series <a href="http://www.sho.com/site/californication/home.do">"Californication". </a></p>
<p>Ok, so its not so new but my roomate just bought the first season DVD of Californication and I've been watching it the last two nights. It is incredibly witty, hillarious and sometimes downright wrong!  It's not only the parade of lovely naked chicks that Duchovny's character Hank Moody gets in the sack, it really is a smart and dynamic series.</p>
<p>David Duchovny plays self loathing, alcoholic  novelist Hank Moody who can't getover his ex palyed by <span class="copygreen"><strong><span style="color:#1d6b72;">NATASCHA McELHONE</span></strong></span>. He is a rich bastard from his latest novel being given the hollywood treatment, which he obviously is disgustd with.  He has a 12 yr old Daughter whch really adds s much needed humanity to Hank Moody. The ridiculousness of his escapades will keep you lol'ing long after you've watched the episode. Lik when he discovers a casual hook-up he met at the bookstore is actually the 16 yr old daughter of his ex-wifes new boyfriend. That plot-line leads to a whole lot of on-going trouble for Moody!</p>
<p>If your a fan of witty dirty humor and hollywood shows like  HBO's Entourage you must buy the DVD and catch up on the first season before season 2 premiers.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Buenas, aquí estamos para intentar desvelar a los pocos infelices que no conozcan esta serie, el porqué deberían tatuarse en el brazo "<a href="/2008/08/08/las-series-para-septiembre-2008-i-las-que-vuelven/#californication">Bajarme Californication</a>" con tinta china. Antes de empezar, decir que soy fan irredimible de esta serie, así que preparaos. No hay mucho <strong>SPOILER </strong>que meter, la verdad, y lo poco que hay lo voy a evitar.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-256 aligncenter" src="http://nexodecaminos.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/californication-fox.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="467" height="244" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El planteamiento de la serie es bastante sencillo. <strong>Hank Moody</strong>, interpretado magistralmente por el siempre enigmático <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000141/">David Duchovny</a>, es un escritor que ha perdido a su musa, no solo en un sentido literal. Veamos, desde el bien comienzo de la serie te das cuenta de que el bueno de Hank está perdido en el mundo, fueran cuales fueran sus pilares en la vida, ahora son frágiles y casi imperceptibles (los vas descubriendo a medida que avanza la serie).  Lo peor de todo es que, según parece, este escritor ha tenido bastante éxito en su carrera (incluso adaptando un libro suyo en una película que odia con todas sus fuerzas), y aún así, no encuentra la inspiración necesaria para escribir. <em>¿Cómo despacha esa frustración?</em> Follándose a todo lo que se mueve. Así de claro, hablando en plata vamos. Rager la definió en su post de series como "<em>Pornocomedia</em>", afirmación cierta en varios aspectos, pero yo cambiaría una parte de la palabra y la dejaría como "<em>Pornodrama</em>".</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Todo comienza a tener un poco más de sentido cuando ves que tiene una hija, y que la mujer a la que amaba le puso los cuernos salvajemente (por lo que puedes intuir que él lleva ese estilo de vida para vengarse de ella, nada más alejado de la realidad), haciendo del frágil equilibrio que era su antigua relación una caja de petardos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-255 alignleft" src="http://nexodecaminos.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/californication1.jpg?w=221" alt="" width="221" height="300" />Ambientada, como no podía ser de otra manera, en la ciudad de Los Ángeles, <strong>Californication te da un paseo profundo por la inmensa desesperación</strong> que confluye en la mente y el alma de un hombre. Y es que está claro que muchos tíos (y tías, para qué engañarnos) habrán visto en el bueno de Hank Moody a un tío que va por libre, que hace lo que quiere, que vive como le da la gana y que se tira a quien le apetece por que puede. Bien damas y caballeros, quien crea eso de esta serie es que <strong>no ha entendido nada</strong>. No hace falta ser un poeta o un dramaturgo para darse cuenta de que el protagonista de esta serie no es libre, está encadenado a una actitud y una manera de pensar que le obligan a ir cada vez más hacia abajo, cada vez más hundido en una decadencia y perversión no solo ejemplificada por el sexo continuo e indiscriminado. Sí, sí, puede ser el ídolo de muchos chavales que lo hayan visto, y un potente afrodisíaco para las chicas a las que le haya gustado... pero señores, <strong>Hank Moody se odia a sí mismo</strong>, odia la vida que lleva y odia a casi todo lo que le rodea, pero <strong>no puede hacer nada para evitar</strong> todo lo que le ocurre. Golpeado física y emocionalmente, pasea sus desilusiones y sus fracasos por los 12 capítulos de los que consta la primera temporada, solo saliendo a flote por el buen trabajo y empeño de sus amigos más fieles, que en ningún momento lo abandonan.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Este pequeño hecho hace que te des cuenta de que <strong>Hank Moody</strong> no es tal como sale en la serie, porque para qué engañarnos, difícilmente podrías querer a alguien así a no ser que fueras como él o que no entendieras ni una mierda de cómo es. El sexo, a pesar de estar retratado constantemente y ser casi el tema principal de la serie a priori, siempre se muestra con cierto tono burlón desde la primera escena (cuyo link del video en youtube encontraréis más abajo), con lo que los guionistas te dejan bien claro un par de cosas: "<em>Quien se quiera quedar con las tetas y el sexo que se quede, quien quiera ver Californication como es, que nos siga</em>". Los personajes que acompañan al protagonista de una manera continuada (no las apariciones ocasionales) o le quieren o le odian, pero mantienen su vida pegada a la de él, porque lo necesitan. Su ex y su hija por motivos obvios, el tío que se tira a su ex por que es importante para su novia, el agente editorial (y amigo) por que no puede dejar de quererlo, etcétera.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Showtime nos trajo Weeds, Dexter y ahora esto. Solo puedo decir que <strong>¡larga vida a la cadena estadounidense!</strong> Se atreven a tratar cosas que ninguna otra cadena toca, no solo dando lo que el público quiere (drogas, violencia y sexo) sino pudiendo encontrar en sus guiones material más profundo y aterrador que eso, dandole a sus series un aire de realismo romántico imposible de no adorar. <strong>Californication es una serie para adultos</strong> que recomendaría a todo aquel que disfrute con el humor negro más duro con uno mismo, el humor de la desesperación personal, aquellos que disfruten viendo caer un castillo de naipes, a los que les guste reírse de los males propios y les importe una mierda los males ajenos, a aquellos que necesitan algo fresco e innovador entre tanto Lost y House... en definitiva, a aquellos que también, por qué no decirlo, quieran ver sexo y tetas en la pequeña pantalla.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/wy-zTgCW0es'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/wy-zTgCW0es&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Espero que los que leáis esto y hayáis visto la serie, paséis a opinar qué os pareció. ¡Un saludo a todos y gracias por pasar!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Todos nosotros estamos tan desesperados por sentir algo, cualquier cosa, que nos chocamos unos contra otros jodiéndonos el camino hasta el fin de los tiempos</strong> (<em>Hank Moody</em>)</p>
<p>Hay líneas que en un momento determinado <strong>convergen</strong> y van hacia un mismo punto, pero en la senda de la vida son más las otras, las <strong>divergentes</strong>, parten de un mismo punto y en el trayecto se van separando hasta que están tan lejos una de la otra que apenas recuerdan si alguna vez se tocaron. Un amigo, en noches de <strong>jackdaniels a palo seco</strong>, siempre desafina aquello de que <em>"el amor es mentira y nos deja al final con las manos vacías"</em>, que decía Chabela Vargas. El corazón es un <strong>pequeño tragón</strong>, y a veces necesita escupir para volver a coger aire.<br />
En estos sofocantes días de agosto se echan de menos muchas cosas. Recuerdo cuando en mi barrio estaban abiertos los comercios, pero los tenderos se han ido de vacaciones y han colgado el cartel de <em>“no hay tutía hasta septiembre”</em>. Todos, hasta el chino, menos <strong>Juan el “ávaro”</strong>. Nunca me he fiado de su tenderete, un kiosko de feria donde cuelgan gusanitos y piruletas pederastas para captar a los chiquillos, pero la necesidad aprieta y no sé comer lentejas sin pan.<br />
<em>“Una viena, agua de litro y esas patatas”</em>, pido a una <strong>Lolita bielorrusa</strong> que ha puesto el Juan de reclamo, se las sabe todas. Normal que los obreros se arremolinen frente a la tienducha. Nunca se han comido tan a gusto el bocadillo de las dos de la tarde, seducidos por unos <strong>ojos azules</strong> que se clavan directamente en la médula ósea. La chica estará mas familiarizada con el rublo que con el euro y le pide mi cuenta al viejete. <em>“Uno sesenta, dos sesenta, tres euros”</em>, redondea de memoria y alarga la mano. Para que nos vamos a andar con tonterías de decimales.<br />
<em>“A cuánto está el agua”</em>, repongo con media sonrisa, estafado sí pero sin resignarme. <em>“Pues la de litro y medio más barata que la de dos litros, que es la que te he puesto”. “¿Y si me llevo las patas fritas sin el jamón?”</em>, aprieto. El viejete no se ha pasado media vida en la tienda para cháchara. <em>“Vale lo mismo, son tres euros en total”</em>, defensa numantina. <em>“Pues no me llevo el pan”</em>. <strong>Jaque mate</strong> y 20 céntimos de vuelta.<br />
Puede ser una ínfima victoria sobre la <strong>injusticia</strong> que no se escribirá en los libros de historia, puede ser que los picos no le peguen a las lentejas, y puede ser que la bella princesa ex soviética no se enterase de mi triunfo sobre su sombrío guardián, pero sé que <a href="http://olepapa.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/el-arte-de-las-palabras/" target="_blank">mi tendero oficial, Antonio</a>, estaría orgulloso de mí desde su merecido reposo en la playa.<br />
Él, que me pone los huevos de su gallina, que me deja fiado si no llevo suelto, que una vez me invitó a <strong>un botellín</strong> que estorbaba para cerrar la nevera, él, que me hace las cuentas con su boli en papel de estraza y la repasa dos veces con los dedos, sabe que nunca le seré infiel porque mi historia con el tendero alternativo <strong>no tiene más miga</strong>, comenzó y terminó en el mismo punto.<br />
Se acabó. Los <strong>finales felices</strong> tienen mala fama, pero existen y son tan verdaderos como los tristes. Cuando una persona no está a la altura o la caga, supongo que tarde o temprano tienes que decirle que te jodan o mandarla a la mierda. Se le llama desencanto y eso <strong>no tiene precio.</strong></p>

<p>David Duchovny's Hank Moody ("Californication") does, in fact, live the American dream.</p>
<p>Coined "The Walking Id" by his ex-girlfriend Karen (Natascha McElhone), Moody walks around banging hot chicks and avoiding his agent. His agent is pissed 'cuz he's not writing, his ex-girlfriend is pissed because he hits on her in front of her new beau, and quite often, his one-night-stands are pissed because frankly, he's just a fucking asshole.</p>
<p>I think Moody's on to something: a walking id. What guy <em>wouldn't</em> want to be a walking id? To do whatever you want, whenever you want, and take no shit from anyone.</p>
<p>That sounds rad. And so is "Californication."</p>

<p><a href="http://www.sho.com/site/announcements/20070906Californication.do" target="_blank">Showtime Announcements &#38; news - Official Site</a><br />
On the heels of the unprecedented audience and critical acclaim of its new original comedy series CALIFORNICATION, starring David Duchovny, SHOWTIME has renewed the series for a second season. The first season of CALIFORNICATION premiered on August 13th and has seen its audience steadily grow, becoming one of the highest-rated series on SHOWTIME. CALIFORNICATION is currently averaging the strongest tune-in level SHOWTIME has ever seen for a freshman series and is posting nearly two million viewers per week, which is the best season one average weekly performance the network has seen since 2004. Additionally, the series has proven its broad appeal attracting equal levels of men and women and holding onto 90% of the WEEDS lead-in.</p>
<p>The first season will air through October on Mondays at 10:30 PM ET/PT. The premiere of season two of CALIFORNICATION is tentatively slated for Summer 2008.</p></blockquote>
<p>This would explain the very high traffic to my blog concerning Californication. This is fantastic news. This series is just great and it will give us something palatable to watch over the summer because there is NOTHING on right now. I can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans Hank will get into this season.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over winter break this year, a few of my friends and I holed up in our friend Doobie's house for a wonderful few days of what we now call "Camp Nowhere." His parents were out of town, so we had the house to ourselves and felt as excited as little kids who are accidentally left without supervision. Among other things, during these few days we all got addicted to the Showtime series <em>Californication</em>. Now I'd never so much as heard of the show, but in one day, we all became so addicted that we watched all twelve episodes in a row. The show has sex, drugs, a lot of snarkiness, and even some rock 'n' roll. What more could a girl ask for?</p>
<p>Over the past few days, I've been forcing Kelsey to watch the show, and I'm proud to say that now that she's seen the entire season, she's hooked. Hands down, the best person in the show is Karen, David Duchovny's character's ex-"wife" (they were never actually married). She is my new idol, and I think it's universally accepted that she's the coolest person ever. She's got great hair, great clothes, she's tall (we tall girls have to stick together, you know), and I'll even concede that her tattoos are cool. Plus, her sunglasses have sent my friend Katie on a quest to find "Karen sunglasses." Is that creepy? We don't care. (Speaking of creepy, the lights in the office I'm working in just went off...dun dun dun...) And Karen is the perfect antidote to all of the horrible girls in the show, like Mia (WHORE) and Dani (also a whore).</p>
<p>Let's look at how cool Karen is:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0907/csmimg/LSEX_P1.jpg" alt="What up Ktray" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.tvguide.com/images/pgimg/californication4.jpg" alt="Hi Hank" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://z.about.com/d/movies/1/0/U/a/P/oceans13prem46.jpg" alt="I want to be you" /></p>
<p>I WANT TO BE HER. Or at least I'd like to have all of her jackets.</p>
<p>Of course, Karen is a real person, and her name is <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001523/" target="_blank">Natascha McElhone</a>, and she seems just as cool in real life as in the show. But in my stalking of Karen/Natascha, I discovered terrible, terrible news. Turns out, Natascha's 42-year-old husband, plastic surgeon Martin Kelly, <a href="http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/tvguide-news-blog/todays-news/natascha-mcelhones-husband/800040150?rss=breakingnews&#38;partnerid=worldnow&#38;profileid=01" target="_blank">randomly dropped dead of a heart attack about a month ago</a>. And to make it worse, Karen is pregnant with their third child. So, at the risk of sounding like one of those creepy fan blogs (although I suppose it's too late for that...), send your happiest, most sympathetic rays of thought out to the McElhones. So sad!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://meaningfuldistractions.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/lips-augment1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-983" src="http://meaningfuldistractions.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/lips-augment1.jpg" alt="" width="388" height="404" /></a></p>
<p>By 2015, 17 percent of all residents in the U.S. will have received cosmetic surgery, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).</p>
<p>The ASPS also <a href="http://www.livescience.com/health/080624-plastic-surgery.html" target="_blank">predicts</a> that within the next seven years there will be more than 55 million cosmetic surgery procedures performed in the U.S. -- that's nearly one procedure for every five Americans.</p>
<p>So, what "work" are we tripping over ourselves to get done?</p>
<p>In 2007 the top procedures, for women and men, were:</p>
<p>Women:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.livescience.com/health/060919_implant_suicide.html"></a>Breast augmentation: 399,440 procedures</li>
<li>Liposuction: 398,848</li>
<li>Eyelid surgery: 208,199</li>
</ul>
<p>Men:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.livescience.com/health/060620_bad_liposuction.html"></a>Liposuction: 57,980 procedures</li>
<li>Eyelid surgery: 32,564</li>
<li>Nose reshaping: 31,713</li>
</ul>
<p>Some forms of plastic surgery legitimately and dramatically <a href="http://www.operationsmile.org/" target="_blank">improve people's quality of life</a>, and in those cases cosmetic surgery can be a blessing.</p>
<p>But the majority of these procedures are done because we're increasingly afraid of growing old, and because women are made to <a href="http://meaningfuldistractions.wordpress.com/2008/06/06/why-are-women-obsessed-with-having-bigger-breasts/" target="_blank">feel inferior</a> unless they're sporting a huge rack.</p>
<p>I don't pass judgment on anyone who's had work done or plans to, but the question seems to me, to paraphrase <a href="http://meaningfuldistractions.wordpress.com/2008/06/05/you-drink-too-much-write-too-little-and-the-only-exercise-you-get-is-in-the-bedroom/" target="_blank">Hank Moody</a>: Why does our society seem so hell-bent on destroying its female population?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Algunas obviedades que he aprendido al fin de un ciclo en este pequeño delirio llamado vida.</p>
<p>Primera: un plan fracasado es tan doloroso como gratificante es un éxito imprevisto. No planifiques nada que no sea imprescindible planificar, lo cual no significa tomar grandes decisiones a la ligera.</p>
<p>Dos. Cuanto más difícil resulte ser congruente con decisiones tomadas mucho tiempo atrás, tanto más probable es que tu vida sea una mierda. Y si no eres capaz de cambiar de rumbo, entonces ya tienes la respuesta de por qué tu vida es una mierda. Simplemente sé consecuente con lo que quieres, aunque duela.</p>
<p>Y tres. Si el dolor te hace sentir vivo, prueba con el amor. Eso sí que duele.</p>
