<p>As I get ready to start penning a web series to be released on YouTube and on this blog, I thought it would be a good idea to share this book with you. Far from a how-to book, <em>Rebel Without A Crew</em> by Robert Rodriguez is still a must have for all would-be filmmakers. For those of you unfamiliar with the films of Rodriguez, you've either not read the credits of some of the best campy movies out there or been living under a rock. He is the mastermind behind <em>Desperado</em>, <em>Once Upon A Time In Mexico</em>, <em>Planet Terror</em>, and the upcoming <em>Red Sonja</em>. Before all these blockbusters though, there was <em>El Mariachi</em>. This Spanish language film was shot on a budget of $7,000 over the couse of a couple weeks. And you know what? It's good.</p>
<p><em>Rebel Without A Crew</em> chronicles Robert's journey, from selling his body to science to pay for the film (I'm not joking) to it landing him a deal with Paramont. Like I said it is not an instruction manual. However, there is a section in the back called "The Ten Minute Film School." That's right, according to Robert, everything you need to know about making a movie you can learn in ten minutes. The book, for what it lacks in instructions, it makes up for in inspiration. Seeing what this guy went through to get his movie made, one can't help but feel they can do it too.</p>
<p>Filled with outlandish, yet true stories, the book is well written and never fails to entertain. The Ten Minute Film School is actually very helpful and inspiring in its own right. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. Don't take my word for it though. Check out the movie it's about.</p>

<p>Read the liveblogging transcript after the jump.</p>
<p><strong>3:00 - Wrapping up</strong></p>
<p>Q: Are you gonna have piles of bodies like they had in the B &#38; W comics?</p>
<p>RR: Oh, we got to, right? That’s the set dressing!</p>
<p>Q: Booth babes. last year there was a <em>Cherry Darling</em> booth babe. How did you feel?</p>
<p>Rose: I loved it! I thought she was so awesome. I watched it about 5 times on YouTube and sent it to my mom and dad.</p>
<p>Q: On video game</p>
<p>Rose: Video game for <em>Red Sonja</em>? I hope so.</p>
<p><strong>2:57 - <em>Machete</em> is on and Heavy Metal Magazine</strong></p>
<p>RR: <strong>Heavy Metal Magazine</strong>, that’s why I leaned towards <em>Barbarella</em>. I thought, finally, I have a justification for all these years and money on Heavy Metal Magazine.</p>
<p>Q: More zombie movies?</p>
<p>Rose: Only if he does Jane Austen.</p>
<p>RR: When we do <em>Machete</em>, I do want to add a trailer at the front that’s a sequel for <em>Cherry Darling</em>, the sequel to <em>Planet Terror</em>, showing some things I wanted to do that I couldn’t do.</p>
<p>RR: Back in 1993 when I first met Danny Trejo, I wrote a script from <em>Machete</em>, and I borrowed scenes from it. It’s one of those really backwards things, where I wrote the script, made the trailer, now people love the trailer and now I have to shoot the movie. There’s going to be two sequels: <em>Machete Kills</em> and <em>Machete Kills Again</em>.</p>
<p>“I have a Machete script, and it’s just a matter of locking down this next couple of months.”</p>
<p>“I’ve just dreamt about Machete too long. We need our own Mexploitation character.”</p>
<p>Q: With so many franchises going PG 13, are you guys going hard R?</p>
<p>RR: My name is “Double R.”</p>
<p>(Huge cheers)</p>
<p>“We’re gonna give you a double R, baby!” (Rose makes a pirate noise.)</p>
<p><strong>2:51 -Meeting Rose and making RS</strong></p>
<p><img style="vertical-align:middle;margin:1px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3279/2699905342_79325dcb4a.jpg?v=0" alt="" width="400" /></p>
<p>RR: I met Rose at the Cannes film festival. I started talking to her, and she would just brutally cut me down to size, and she would call me “Count Fuckula.” I was like, “Who are you, and where you been?”</p>
<p>I just found her arresting, and I kind of wrote a lot of [the Cherry Darling] character around her. It was just quite a force.</p>
<p>So having seen her really pull that off, and seeing the parts that were out there, the lack of, we knew we had to find something where she could step up and top that. And there was nothing. It had to be <em>Red Sonja</em>.</p>
<p>Q: Will you shoot RS in 3D so we can have blood thrown in our faces?</p>
<p>A: And other stuff, too. You’re really wanting cleavage, right?</p>
<p>(RR takes credit for “bringing 3D back” with <em>Spy Kids 3</em>.)</p>
<p>RR: I shot [<em>Spy Kids 3</em>] on a stage, to go out in the field is tougher. There is a new system, where you shoot and do the 3D in post. I might go that route instead.</p>
<p>Q: what else is in your private collection that might lead to a movie?</p>
<p>RR: I cant say now, because then you would know.</p>
<p><strong>2:45 - More Q&#38;A</strong></p>
<p><strong>Rose:</strong> I think I saw <em>CHUD</em>, was the first movie I saw in America. I saw a lot of movies I shouldn’t have.</p>
<p>If I announced I was doing a movie where I just stared at a teapot there’d be 400,000 people on the Internet saying “blahblahblah.” For some reason, it’s much easier to say things that are negative. So, with that in mind, with every thrust of my sword, I’ll be thinking of people like <em>that</em>.”</p>
<p>Q: About villains in RS</p>
<p>Villains? “We can’t say right now.”</p>
<p>Issues 9-12 are sort of the origin of her…but we’re not really saying until it leaks.</p>
<p>Q: About Conan casting</p>
<p>Conan casting? “Danny Trejo!” (Huge cheers)</p>
<p>RR: I’m surprised nobody’s asked about <em>Machete</em> yet! My phone’s gonna be ringing in a sec (does Danny Trejo’s voice) “Robert! When are we gonna make <em>Machete</em>? Hurry up, holmes!”</p>
<p>Q: Has the sword been designed?</p>
<p>Doug: Being designed as we speak, in a country far, far away.</p>
<p>Q: Rose, chance you might be involved in future <em>Sin City</em>?</p>
<p>Rose prevaricates.</p>
<p><strong>2:41 - On leaving the DGA and collaborating</strong></p>
<p>RR: It was very freeing to leave the DGA. They have a rulebook that says you can only have one director. They want the illusion that there’s only one voice, one vision, and that isn’t always true. People are always like “you do so many jobs yourself, don’t you like to collaborate?” I love to collaborate, and I got penalized for it.</p>
<p>So, I said, “Just to really stick it to them, I’ll add Quentin.” So, I added a special title for Quentin that doesn’t really exist. But that’s why I’m only producing in name on this one, and Doug’s directing. I don’t have any regrets. If I want to do a studio movie I just do Financial Core, which is where you just fall into the rules of the DGA.</p>
<p>Q: Are you directing a scene in <em>Inglorious Bastards</em>?</p>
<p>RR: I don’t know..it would probably be music again, or maybe he wants me to get blown up.</p>
<p>Q (11 year old girl): I like<em> Planet Terror</em> a lot… (Crowd cheers to hear that she’s 11!) “I also enjoyed the <em>Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl</em>.”</p>
<p><strong>2:36 - On Rose’s stunts and scripts for <em>Sin City</em>:</strong></p>
<p>Rose has been working out 3 hours a day for <em>Red Sonja</em> and is about to start sword training with the Wachowskis’ guy on Monday. Rose will do her own stunts in RS. “In <em>Death Proof</em>, the face being slammed against the plexi was mine. I smashed my cheekbone and almost had a concussion, but it wouldn’t look right otherwise. I’m gonna end up like a boxer at 38, but I do as much as I can.”</p>
<p>RR: It was fun seeing her a couple of months ago, she broke a couple of toes and had a black cast, and it was just like in <em>Planet Terror</em>.</p>
<p><em>Sin City 2 and 3</em> — They have a script, waiting for Frank Miller to be done with <em>The Spirit.</em></p>
<p><strong>2:33 - Taking questions:</strong></p>
<p>RR: “Anyone who asks a really great question gets a tshirt.”</p>
<p>Q: I know your going for something different visually, but tonally are you trying to match the DeLaurentis films?</p>
<p>RR: No, totally different. Darker, more like the book, and the actual comics. Not anything to do with the other movie that was made in the 80’s.</p>
<p>Rose: I will not have a mullet.</p>
<p>RR: We’re still discussing that…</p>
<p>Q: Real locations or greenscreen?</p>
<p>Doug: A complement of both.</p>
<p>Q: I’ve been eating your breakfast tacos from <em>Sin City </em>for a long time. When are you gonna do another 10 minute cooking school?</p>
<p>RR: it’s gonna be Texas BBQ. It’s gonna be on the <em>Grindhouse</em> double disc DVD.</p>
<p><strong>2:26 - On Doug Aarniokoski as director (2nd unit director, <em>Resident Evil 3</em>) </strong></p>
<p>Doug was RR’s first Assistant Director since <em>Four Rooms</em>. RR talks for awhile about how great, tenacious, brave Doug is as a director.</p>
<p>RR: I have a director’s comitment with the Weinsteins. (He says Miramax first then corrects himself.) Where I owe them another picture, so I can’t direct this, but if I produce, I can do it as my next picture. So, it will be more like a co-director thing, I’m definitely going to get my hands dirty, but not officially, because Doug’s DGA (union) and I’m not.</p>
<p>RR says he’s in talks unofficially to direct a Conan film. It’s something to integrate the world and keep the vision of Senor Howard going.</p>
<p>Doug: People ask what my film background is, and I say I went to the school of Robert Rodriguez filmmaking. I remember one day we were at your house, and we went behind the secret bookcase into the room, and there were all these mockettes up there and you had <em>Red Sonja</em>. And we were like, “This is such an amazing character.”</p>
<p>And then one day I got the call, and he was like “Red Sonja” and I was like “Oh, absolutely!” We’re gonna shake it up here folks, I hope your ready for it.</p>
<p>They’re location scouting right now…</p>
<p>Doug: We’re gonna kick some backside– I have this thing that says I have to be careful because members of your audience may be 18 or under…</p>
<p>RR: I like finding different looks for a movie. This time I’ll patent it.</p>
<p><strong>2:20 - Rose McGowan</strong>: It was very difficult [after Planet Terror] to do anything. I would read these scripts and be like, “Well, I guess I could make this kind of funny, if the guy didn’t talk too much.”</p>
<p>From a really early age, being into empowerment, being a feminist, and loving the underdog, and really, in my life, being one. So, I brought it home and said, “I’m really interested in female vengeance!” And then I’m like, “Oh god, therapist…”</p>
<p>This movie is going to be hard, its gonna be cold, its gonna be dirty, bloody. But I’m up for it. (Crowd cheers.)</p>
<p>I keep thinking Ill do a Jane Austen movie, and I said, “Would you ever do a Jane Austen movie?” and Robert said, “Could there be a dead body in it?”</p>
<p>When I was really little, I saw <em>La Femme Nikita</em>, and that’s what I wanted to be when I grew up. I think Nikita would be proud.</p>
<p>[On Robert Rodriguez:]</p>
<p>He’s always saying, make your own destiny. I had been in the mode for so long of I’ll just wait and see what they send me. But for 2 years now, I’ve really been firing on all engines and it’s all because of him. He’s so good at telling people to just do it. (Man, this whole panel is like a tribute to their relationship.)</p>
<p>So, what I’ve been able to “just do” is take a giant sword and kill a lot of people. And I think that explains my attraction. (To both Robert and Red Sonja, apparently.)</p>
<p><strong>2:15 - </strong><strong>Robert Rodriguez comes out.</strong> “We don’t have anything to show — we haven’t shot anything yet.”</p>
<p>They’re giving away T-shirts of the main poster, of Rose licking a blade.</p>
<p><strong>Rose McGowan</strong>, ladies and gentleman. (Are they still dating? She’s wearing a ridiculous strapless green metallic dress. He doesn’t seem terribly excited to see her.)</p>
<p>RR: I’ve been a Robert E Howards fan since a long time ago.</p>
<p>He bought a Concan comic at the grocery store, at the magazine stand.</p>
<p>RR: With 10 kids, there wasn’t a lot of money for comics, but this was with all the other magazines, and it was black and white, and bloody and there were women in it.”</p>
<p>Savage Sword of Conan. I would read that same magazine over and over again @ 11 or 12 years old. There would be an ad for a subscription that would show Red Sonja holding up a severed head to Conan, and saying “Get ahead in life!”</p>
<p>I would think, “Wow, this is my fantasy of the perfect woman… even Conan’s looking up at her!”</p>
<p>Where Robert E Howard was born was the same place my father was born, in the same border town near Mexico city. I felt a real kinship to this freak. So, in my little writing room, I have a collecton of <em>Sin City</em> stuff, and I finally made that movie. I have a collection of <em>Conan</em> stuff, a collection of Heavy Metal Magazines, and Robert E Howards stuff.</p>
<p>I tried to write Conan stuff, but the wrong studio owns it. So Rose and I, we’re trying to figure out something to do together after doing <em>Planet Terror</em>. In that film she was so strong, and you know you’ll see a woman be in a film like that and the next film, they’ll play a girlfriend. You want her to do something that lets her take advantage of her strengths and talents.</p>
<p>We tried to do <em>Barbarella</em>, and that didnt work. She came into the kitchen with a script for <em><strong>Red Sonja</strong></em> and said, “I really like this script, don’t know if you’ve heard of it…” (Crowd likes this.) She was like, “They want to meet me, Do you think its a good property?”</p>
<p>And I was like –does spit take?</p>
<p>It’s geek’s dream to immerse her in this world that I’ve been collecting secretly since adolescence.<br />
(I guess they are still dating, or want us to <em>think</em> they are.)</p>
<p>We decided to do this instead of <em>Barbarella</em>, which we did have funding for, we were gonna do it for $70 million in Germany, but there were other projects…</p>
<p><strong>Rose</strong>: “if anybody would like to bottle Robert’s DNA, I think you can just swab the side of the podium there.”</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://multiplot.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/fourrooms.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1046" src="http://multiplot.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/fourrooms.png?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="166" /></a><a href="http://multiplot.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/jennybeals1.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Esse é um filme no qual eu dava pouquíssimo, e topar com ele na TV foi interessante. Realmente não é nada de excepcional, e o esquecimento é até compreensível. Tim Roth é Ted, rapaz que vai começar a trabalhar em um hotel decadente em Los Angeles no último dia do ano e acaba tendo das surpresas não mais agradáveis. O filme é dividido em quatro segmentos, cada um dedicado à uma desventura de Ted por um quarto do hotel.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Não tem muito segredo, cada segmento tem o seu estilo e vai procurar te entreter sem muito mais delongas. Por mais que falar sobre um filme indo falando o que vai acontecendo, em um compêndio de segmentos curtos como esse é mais ou menos assim que se lê <em>Four Rooms</em>, sem mais ambições. Em geral eles são bem irregulares entre si, mas a atuação do Tim Roth carrega o piano disso tudo muito bem, com um <em>bellboy</em> meio inglês, meio ingênuo, meio irônica e que vai surtando com o que vai passando pelo filme.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O primeiro é o que menos faz sentido de todos, e isso não quer dizer necessariamente uma coisa boa. Tem a ver com um ritual pseudo-bruxaria putaria, e inevitavelmente acaba chamando mais a atenção por ter a Madonna no meio disso tudo. Mas no conjunto, e analisando as provações (rs) que Ted vai passando ao longo do filme acaba tendo lá sua graça. O segundo é outra situação bizarra, mas agora até contada de uma maneira bem mais atraente. Roth se desdobra numa terapia psicótica para um casal, e Jennifer Beals acaba se destacando e roubando a cena. Se chama <em>O Homem Errado</em>, faz sentido e tudo mais, mas não tem muito a ver com Hitchcock, hehe. O terceiro é de Robert Rodriguez e é o mais divertido. Ted tem que se virar com os filhos de um mafioso (Antonio Banderas) que sai com sua mulher para beber no ano novo e deixa os pivetes no hotel. É um pastelão assumido, assim como os desenhos que assistem na TV, que vai tomando contornos mórbidos, além de coisas como um canal estilo <em>sexytime</em> com a Salma Hayek, uma seringa sem dono (?), e o champanhe que ficou no quarto. Por fim, o último, do Tarantino. Tem muito do estilo dele, em como filmar um grupo de gente que envolve um ator de Hollywood (vivido por ele mesmo, interpretando o papel que sabe muito bem, o dele mesmo), um neguinho meio fodido que quer um carro dos anos 60 e um Bruce Willis que passa o tempo no celular tentando se explicar com a mulher, que fazem entre si uma aposta que viram num filme do Hitchcock. Talvez até se alongue desenecessariamente, mas dá pra ver as características dos filmes dele feitas de um jeito mais desprendido (se quiser, pode ler vagal), logo depois de estourar em Pulp Fiction. Pra quem é fã dele feito eu, é um drops até interessante.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mas enfim, vale a pena ver nas circunstâncias que eu tive, zapeando pela TV e pegando do começo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">(a foto devia ser da Jennifer Beals nesse filme, mas não foi possível, hehe)</p>
<p>2/4</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ciclofrenia.wordpress.com/2008/07/25/dellimportanza-del-ctrlz/" target="_blank">Vi ho già parlato</a> dei miei deliri con <a href="http://www.impazzito.it/author/giorgio/" target="_blank">Jazz</a>.<br />
C'è però qualcosa di molto più grave che riguarda il nostro passato: un cortometraggio amatoriale che abbiamo girato un bel po' di mesi fa.<br />
Si intitola <strong>The male (il male)</strong>.<br />
L'errore di traduzione, se ve lo state chiedendo, è del tutto (in)voluto.<br />
Avevo postato tempo fa su questo filmato, ma importando il vecchio blog su WordPress mi si era incasinato l'intervento, e allora, visto che:</p>
<ul>
<li>in questi giorni ho zero idee ma voglio mantenere un buon numero di accessi al mio blog;</li>
<li>vorrei aumentare le visualizzazioni (e magari anche i commenti) su YouTube, dato che sono solo 950;</li>
</ul>
<p>[...] perché non pisciare in faccia a <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niccolò_Paganini" target="_blank">Paganini</a> e ripetersi?</p>
<p>La trama è qualcosa di insensato, ma proverò a riassumerla.</p>
<p><em>Due intrepidi ragazzi, con l'ausilio di un vocabolario Italiano-Inglese trovato in casa, partono per l'Inghilterra alla ricerca del male (<strong>The male</strong>). Ma al loro ritorno una strana presenza li attende.</em></p>
<p>Trovo <em>The male</em> geniale nella sua completa idiozia, e di ciò va dato merito a Jazz, che l'ha montato con sapiente pazzia (e qui, standing ovation per la rima, please).<br />
Immagino già le recensioni.</p>
<p><strong>THE MALE</strong><br />
<em>Voto 8.5</em><br />
Con la sua atmosfera onirica e allucinata, con i suoi continui <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashback" target="_blank">flashback</a> e cambi di rotta nella regia, con le sue tempistiche sfalsate e le sue deliranti intuizioni, <em>The male</em> rappresenta l'archetipo di un nuovo modo di fare cinema. <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Rodriguez" target="_blank">Robert Rodriguez</a>, <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren_Aronofsky" target="_blank">Darren Aronofsky</a> e <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quentin_Tarantino" target="_blank">Quentin Tarantino</a> sono avvertiti: da oggi non sarà più possibile girare film senza rifarsi a questo capolavoro dello sfrantismo postmoderno.</p>
<p>Godetevelo tutto (sono bravo a creare aspettative?).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those of you who havn't heard, Robert Rodriguez is boinking Rose McGowan.  She now has her meal ticket, because Rodriguez has decided to cast her as the lead in his unnecessary re-makes of <em>Red Sonja</em> and <em>Barbarell</em><em>a</em>.  Here are two possible posters for <em>Red Sonja</em>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ohmars.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/red-sonja-poster2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-168" src="http://ohmars.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/red-sonja-poster2.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="666" /></a><a href="http://ohmars.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/red-sonja-poster-21.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-167" src="http://ohmars.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/red-sonja-poster-21.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="669" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sexy? Duh! Who wouldn't want to see Rose McGowan wearing next to nothing.  The re-make just isn't needed.  She should just dress like this all the time and save production companies a fortune.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night I caught <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112471/" target="_blank">Before Sunrise</a> on tv, immediately following that film and went and watched its sequel <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381681/" target="_blank">Before Sunset (2004)</a>. Both are amazingly crafted films, but since I preferred this one over it's predecessor I will review it.</p>
<p>This movie starts out on a train, a cute french student studying at the Sorbonne meets an American on his way to Vienna to catch a cheap flight home. They get to talking and he throws a crazy idea on the table, why doesn't she get off the train with him and spend his remaining hours in Europe with her. She obliges.</p>
<p>This movie is a whole lotta talking, their is no melodrama, no action, no robberies. It is a movie about real life. In fact it plays out in real time and feels much more like a documentary then an actual film.</p>
<p>Written and directed by the talented <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000500/" target="_blank">Richard Linklater,</a> of the vhs generation (Kevin Smith, Quentin Tarantino, and Robert Rodriguez are members as well). It portrays how spontaneous life can really be, I mean these two people who truly fall in love is so superbly crafted that it's difficult to not call this the best modern romance of the last 20 years.</p>
<p>Their conversations are amazing as well. Like the movie, they have no particular agenda. They talk about what two people would talk about: Life, Death, Parents, school, etc. There is this great bit where they are on a trolley and Jesse (played by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000160/" target="_blank">Ethan Hawke</a>) brings up the idea of reincarnation. What he calls a scattered thought actually makes a whole lot of sense. He says since there are so many more people on this year than there were 5000 years ago then it's impossible, that we are all just a fraction of a person. Which is why we as humans are so scattered.</p>
<p>Linklater does an amazing job shooting Vienna as well. He sees the city as a place of opportunity, a place of meetings. Which the whole movie is. A series of meetings which draw these two people closer together. </p>
<p>This movie is intelligent and heartbreaking. The end of the film leaves us on such a cliff hanger that I couldn't help and look up Before Sunset, which is fantastic as well, just to see where the story of a French Student and an American in love goes.</p>

<description><![CDATA[
Première chose à dire, ce film est bien plus grindhouse que celui de Tarantino, Death Proof. Sure]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><img style="height:266.667px;width:400px;" src="http://a69.g.akamai.net/n/69/10688/v1/img5.allocine.fr/acmedia/medias/nmedia/18/64/19/33/18759186.jpg" border="0" alt="Rose McGowan. TFM Distribution" hspace="0" vspace="0" align="bottom" /></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#999999;"><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:x-large;">P</span>remière chose à dire, ce film est bien plus grindhouse que celui de Tarantino, Death Proof. Surenchère à tous les niveaux que ce soit scénaristique, d'hémoglobine, de filles sexy, de mecs baraqués, de musique, de monstres, de bécanes, de viandes, d'explosion, de flingues etc etc... Et tout cela pour un résultat plutôt bon! Car le but d'un film grindhouse c'est d'en mettre plein la vue et on en a pour notre argent. Les scènes d'actions sont époustouflantes et très sexy. Rose McGowan, nous montre son talent le plus visible, son physique. Elle tient bon la minette, aussitôt amputée d'une jambe, là voilà qui part mitrailler tout ce qui bouge. Elle parvient même à gagner en intérêt car c'est le seul personnage du film qui possède une "psychologie". Les autres ce sont des stéréotypes, dont le beau-gosse Freddy Rodriguez.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="color:#999999;">Le bémol à ce film c'est justement cette surenchère, au bout d'un certain temps on se lasse de tout ce sang qui gicle dans tous les sens, ça devient une facilité pour palier au manque cruel de scénario mais c'est vrai que dans ce genre de film ce n'est pas le scénario qui compte. Ce qu'on veut voir c'est un nanar bien ficelé et bien puissant. En ce sens c'est réussit mais je crois que ce qui m'a finalement le plus déçut, c'est l'humour. C'est tellement prévisible et lourdingue qu'on y adhère pas franchement. Ce film c'est juste de l'esthétique. Mais on apprend une chose essentielle, une mitraillette c'est beaucoup mieux qu'une jambe de bois!</span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finsally finished watching Once Upon A Time in Mexico. My Verdict. Pretty cool and quite funny, but ultimately, not enough action. Undeniably, there is an overblown stylishness in the way it is shot, the tex-mex/mexican/mariachi/flamenco guitar soundtrack is awesome. Oh and Enrique Iglesias is in it.</p>
[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="400" caption="I can be your hero BABEEH"]<img src="http://www.qwipster.net/onceinmexico.jpg" alt="I can be your hero BABEEH" width="400" height="278" />[/caption]
<p>The stunts were pretty mad. I mean it's pretty hard to top the bar sliding set piece in Desperado, but there's some memorable stunts and action sequences. Pacing could be better, but at least it's very pretty to look at (here's to you Selma Hayek and Eva Mendes!)</p>
<p>and like the geekish geektarded geek I am, I also watched the featurette. Which incidentally had the very cool <strong>Robert Rodriguez's Ten Minute Cooking School. </strong>Jamie Oliver take note: THIS is how you do a BITCHIN' cooking video.</p>
<p>Basically in this video Robert Rodriguez shows you how to make Puerco Pibil, a slow-cooked Mexican Pork dish.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Vi esse esqueminha lá no blog do Léo e como sou invejosa para coisas bacanas, farei também... que além da lista do <a href="http://dancafragmentada.blogspot.com/2008/08/os-melhores-filmes-de-cada-ano-que-vivi.html">Dança Fragmentada</a>, rolaram a listas do <a href="http://universotangente.wordpress.com/2008/07/16/os-melhores-filmes-de-cada-ano-que-vivi-parte-1/">Universo Tangente</a>; <a href="http://discretoblog.wordpress.com/2008/07/08/o-melhor-filme-de-cada-ano-em-que-estive-vivo-part-une/">Discreto blog da Burguesia;</a> <a href="http://vidaordinaria.wordpress.com/2008/07/09/o-filme-favorito-de-cada-ano-em-que-estive-vivo-parte-1/">Vida ordinária</a>.<br />
Veja bem, tais citações não serão os melhores filmes de cada ano na minha opinião pessoal, mas sim os mais emblemáticos na minha vida. Mas farei como contagem regressiva e tirando 2008, primeiro porque passou pouco mais de um semestre, segundo porque foram poucas as coisas realmente me divertiram no cinema este ano e o hors concours foi obviamente Indiana Jones, mais por um revival de anos anteriores do que uma sensação atual. E como sou megalomaníaca, farei um top 5 de cada ano.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>1- Ratatouille</strong><br />
<a href="http://quixotando.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/2007_ratatouille_002.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2525" src="http://quixotando.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/2007_ratatouille_002.jpg" alt="" width="698" height="339" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Se existe um filme que realmente acabou comigo em 2007, este foi Ratatouille. Que grande pedaço de arte é essa pérola camuflada de fantasia infanto-juvenil, duvido que alguma criança tenha saboreado melhor tal filme do que qualquer adulto que já tenha lido Marcel Proust, afinal, paladar se aprimora com a idade. Não, a França, o paladar e a experiência vivida não são mera coincidência neste assustadoramente maduro Ratatouille.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>2- Stephen Fry: Guilty</strong><br />
Este pequeno documentário da BBC é um achado, primeiro porque se vê o altamente intelectualizado comediante inglês Stephen Fry chutando o balde e assumindo que é fã de ABBA entre outras coisas não muito bem quistas pela pretensiosa e suposta elite intelectual que assola o mundo, segundo porque tenho uma queda por quase tudo que ele menciona e não tenho vergonha de assumir.<br />
[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.648695&#38;w=746&#38;h=413&#38;fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26]</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>3 - Saneamento Básico, O Filme</strong><a href="http://quixotando.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/monstro-do-fosso.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2534" src="http://quixotando.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/monstro-do-fosso.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="470" /></a>Tenho que confessar que este filme é uma obra prima, elenco perfeito, texto perfeito e a mais vívida realidade do que é fazer cinema no Brasil. Sem mencionar que o Monstro do Fosso é a maior criação do cinema B mundial desde os tempos de Ed Wood Jr.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>4 - Grindhouse</strong><a href="http://quixotando.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/grindhouse_2008.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2536" src="http://quixotando.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/grindhouse_2008.jpg" alt="" width="699" height="466" /></a>Tirando a papagaiada nacional de não poder ver o bagulho completo nos cinemas e blábláblá, fazendo que apelemos à boa e velha atividade ilegal e apesar de que eu esperava algo mais podreira e artesanal do que realmente foi, é no mínimo tranquilizador que ainda se possa ver esse tipo de ode ao bom cinema B por aí. Afinal, não é todo dia que vemos o pinto do Tarantino derretendo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>5- Across the Universe</strong><br />
<a href="http://quixotando.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/across-the-universe.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2530" src="http://quixotando.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/across-the-universe.jpg" alt="" width="695" height="460" /></a>É brega, é kitsch e a tal da elite intelectual odeia. E daí? Tem Beatles, Jim Sturguess e a Salma Hayek vestida de enfermeira gostosa. Adoro, é claro.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Reais melhores filmes do ano: I'm Not There, No Country for Old Men, Zodiac.</strong><a href="http://quixotando.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/im-not-there-pdvd_010.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2750" src="http://quixotando.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/im-not-there-pdvd_010.jpg" alt="I'M NOT THERE" width="696" height="298" /></a></p>

<p><!--more-->
<p>I won’t lie, this is going to be a hard movie for me to review. Not just because it has been awhile since I last watched it, but also just because the way the movie is done. What we have here in Sin City, are three different stories surrounding three different main characters. One story is that of Hartigan (Bruce Willis), probably the only non-corrupted cop in the whole city, as he tries to protect Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba).
<p>Another story we have is perhaps the best of the whole movie, and that’s the story of Marv (Mickey Rourke). Marv is a complete badass, complete with a disgusting face. He’s a killer that has never had anyone be nice to him before, until he hooks up with Goldie (Jamie King) and becomes a changed man. Well changed in the fact that while sleeping with Goldie for the first time, she’s murdered. Now Marv doesn’t just want to kill people, he wants to kill the right people, he wants to take out the bad guys. And yes, heads will roll.
<p>The last story is that of Dwight (Clive Owen), and while I’ve seen folks call it the worse story in the movie, I’m going to have to disagree because there are no bad stories in the movie and this one certainly doesn’t deserve to be labeled the worst. Dwight becomes friends with the waitress Shelley (Brittany Murphy), and therefore gets wrapped up with Shelley’s abusive ex-boyfriend, Jackie Boy (Benicio Del Toro). Things get worse when Dwight and some his hooker friends kill Jackie Boy, which was a bad thing to do in this part of the city. This story is loaded with gangs and pimps and whores.
<p>If you’re looking for something different, Sin City is the movie for you. It features a vastly unique look compared to any other movie, and the end result is a masterpiece of artwork. Yes, the film is black and white, though not 1930’s black and white, and that is part of the visual appeal of the movie that will amaze you. The other colors that are used in the film (green, red, yellow, etc.) are done so brilliantly.
<p>Bruce Willis does a great job of playing Hartigan, though it’s not an entirely new role for him. Jessica Alba is surrounded by a cast that is far superior in acting ability than her, but what she lacks is more than made up for by the fact that she is hot. Mickey Rourke steals the movie, and at least in my opinion, becomes its most memorable star character. Clive Owen and Brittany Murphy also both did very well in their roles. Two other guys who did phenomenal jobs are the assassin Kevin (Elijah Wood), who eats corpses and keeps heads as trophies, and the Yellow Bastard (Nick Stahl), who is perhaps the most disgusting character ever, a child molesting son of a Senator.
<p>The movie is not for everyone though, as it is ultra violent and does contain sexual content. However, Sin City did capture the most awards/nominations in the first annual UWF Matinee Awards.

<description><![CDATA[Odeio quando críticos de música dizem que o álbum que foi lançado em fevereiro JÁ É O DISCO ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Odeio quando críticos de música dizem que o álbum que foi lançado em fevereiro JÁ É O DISCO DO ANO, ou quando o filme blockbuster das férias de verão dos EUA (ou seja, julho) é O FILME DE 2008.<br />
Porra, o ano mal começou.</p>
<p>Mas... ops, falha nossa. Eu já acho que <em>Bitch Slap</em> vai ser o filme do ano para mim - e o sempre amigo <a href="http://blog.cultsirens.com/2008/07/28/bitch-slap/">Cult Sirens</a> que me avisou.</p>
<p>Filmes Exploitation são muito bacanas. É por essa coisa garotas-poderosas-armadas-muito-sangue-diversão que eu gosto, por exemplo, de <em>Pink Violence</em> (todo mundo fala <em>Pinky Violence</em>, mas me incomoda esse "Y", acho nada a ver com o gênero hahaha). O <em>Bitch Slap</em> é meio que uma recriação de tudo isso. Vai um pouco na onda de Tarantino e Robert Rodriguez, mas me parece mais trashzão assumido, mesmo. O diretor, Rick Jacobson, já dirigiu episódios de <em>Xena, a princesa guerreira</em>, <em>Baywatch</em> (o nosso <em>S.O.S. Malibu</em>), <em>La femme Nikita</em> (a série)... essas coisas bacanas que só a gente sabe dar valor.</p>
<p>A história, pelo visto, não tem muita firula no seu cerne: três garotas perigosas precisam tirar uma grana preta de um chefão do submundo e "se metem nas maiores enrascadas". A minha preferida por enquanto é a Trixie, stripper de vestidinho curtérrimo &#38; douradérrimo. Pelo visto, a sua intérprete Julia Voth nunca fez nenhum filme antes desse... a não ser <em>Repo! The Genetic Opera</em>, que vem a ser o filme em que Paris Hilton CANTA &#38; INTERPRETA e que eu não assisti, mas já gostei. Em <em>Repo!</em>, Julia faz... uma voz! Não é ótimo?!<br />
"Eu sou aquela voz da cena 27!"</p>
<p>Pausa em homenagem à Paris Hilton em <em>Repo!</em>, tomando uma injeção na virilha.<br />
<span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Y_-tz67e-bA'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Y_-tz67e-bA&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span><br />
<em>Ê, maravilha.</em></p>
<p>A gente também já ama Mortimer Gage, que é péssimo - mas a gente gosta de cafajestes, <a href="http://djoh.wordpress.com/2008/02/19/stan-lee-esse-grande-filosofo/">como sabe o sábio Stan Lee</a> (amamos Wolverine, casamos com Ciclope). No caso, substitua "amar" por "temos tesão em". Gage é interpretado por um ator mais conhecido: Michael Hurst. Não sabe quem é? Pois ele é super conhecido... em Nova Zelândia. Sério, o cara é inglês mas cresceu na Nova Zelândia. E ele é o Iolaus, sobrinho do Hércules, e Charon - ambos personagens mitológicos que apareceram nas séries sobre Hércules... e Xena, claro. Ou seja, o cara é ótimo. Ele também fez a voz de um vilão do <em>Power Rangers</em>, o que pode exigir muito do seu talento dramático. Aquelas vozes são horríveis!</p>
<p>E também amamos Black Ice, mas isso só demonstra a nossa queda por dreadlocks e não existe nenhum outro motivo específico que nos motive a gostar desse personagem coió.<br />
Scott Hanley, o "intérprete" de Black Ice, também estréia nas telonas com <em>Bitch Slap</em>. Não quero dar opiniões sobre o que ele fazia antes pois não gosto de processos criminais.</p>
<p>Como todo bom Exploitation, ainda não existe a figura do figurinista nos créditos do filme, que deve estrear em dezembro de 2008 nos EUA. Mal posso esperar.</p>

<em>O trailer! Gente, são tantas emoções... tem até lesbianidades!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#38;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FKids-Game-Over-Two-Disc-Collectors%2Fdp%2FB0000TG9ZG&#38;tag=hhot-20&#38;linkCode=ur2&#38;camp=1789&#38;creative=9325"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51MVEH0VC7L._SL200_.jpg" border="0" align="right" /></a></p>
<p>Carmen is caught in a virtual reality game designed by the kids' new nemesis and it's up to Juni to save his sister and the world.<br /> The adventures of pint-sized secret agents Juni and Carmen Cortes (Daryl Sabara and Alexa Vega) continue. As <i>Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over</i> opens, Juni has left the spy agency and launched a career as a private detective--but when he learns that his sister Carmen has disappeared into a nefarious multi-user computer game, he agrees to go in after her, with the assistance of his grandfather (Ricardo Montalban). Three-dimensional special effects launch us into a topsy-turvy world of battling robots, souped-up motorcycle races, frogs on pogo sticks, surfing on hot lava, and much, much more. The story is even more incoherent than an actual computer game--but the movie storms along, driven by writer/director/editor/everything-else Robert Rodriguez's sheer visual enthusiasm. Featuring Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, and everyone else who appeared in the first two <i>Spy Kids</i> movies. <i>--Bret Fetzer</i></p>

<p style="text-align:center;">We've finally reached the month of August, and even though it's 90+ degrees out all I can think about is dressing for fall!  One of the trends I've recently come around to is the full skirt.  Runways that showcased these voluminous pieces include Sari Gueron (<a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/F2008RTW/review/SGUERON">pictured above</a>) and Marc Jacobs.  I wasn't a converted full skirter, though, until I saw <a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_qjpwnPW4c1o/SI8Pr5t1BkI/AAAAAAAAD0Q/JOvfgbv7G0k/s1600-h/7248lower-Fifthweb.jpg">this photo</a> from the Sartorialist.  Now, I'm looking forward to getting out of my tank-top/shorts routine and trading that in for outfits that play with proportion and volume.  If you feel like giving your pencil skirt a break, follow me:</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Kritik<br />
</strong>Zuerst einmal will ich ein riesiges Lob an die Betreiber des <a href="http://www.lunakino.de" target="_blank">Lunakinos in Bielefeld</a> aussprechen, denn dank ihnen wurde es mir Filmnerd ermöglicht endlich beide Filme so zu schauen wie es eigentlich geplant war: naemlich im Doublefeature inklusive Faketrailern. Dass das ganze auf Englisch war stoerte mich nicht im geringsten, denn immerhin gab es ja auch noch Deutsche Untertitel. (Und teilweise waren die auch noetig, besonders wenn J.T. mit entsprechendem Dialekt von seinem "Best Barbecue in Texas" sprach :D).<br />
Desweiteren kann ich das Kino nur empfehlen, denn besonders zur warmen Jahreszeit machen Filme Open-Air im bequemen Gartenstuhl noch mehr Spaß als im stickigen Kinosaal.<br />
So. Jetzt aber zum Film. Ich kannte Sowohl Planet Terror als auch Death Proof vorher nur in der jeweiligen Extended-Version, sprich mit zusaetzlichen Szenen, die dann zwecks des Doublefeatures wegen Ueberlaenge heraus genommen wurden. Bei Planet Terror wurden immer wieder kleine eher unwichtige Szenen herausgeschnitten, wobei hingegen bei Death Proof direkt ganze Abschnitte wie der Lapdance und die Eingangsszene an der Tankstelle geschnitten wurden. Aber auch in den kurzen Fassungen sind die Filme in sich immer noch schluessig und weisen keinerlei Logikloecher auf, wie man annehmen koennte.<br />
Genretechnisch unterscheiden sich die Filme stark von einander, da es sich bei Planet Terror um einen Zombie-Slasher handelt und Death Proof eher eine Art Auto-Thriller ist. Dennoch spielen beide Filme mehr oder weniger in der gleichen Welt, denn es treten immer wieder parallelen auf. So wird in Planet Terror beispielsweise der Tod von Jungle Julia im Radio Bedauert und in Death Proof spielt eine Szene im Krankenhaus wo man Dakota Block und Earl McGraw aus Planet Terror antrifft. (Weiter will ich an dieser Stelle nicht auf das Tarantino/Rodriguez Universum eingehen. <a title="Tarantino's Mind" href="http://www.hungrymantv.com/shorts.php?vid=tarantinos_mind" target="_blank">In diesem Video</a> ist das Ganze ziemlich gut beschrieben.)<br />
Was mir auch ziemlich gut gefallen hat, war die - bis auf Kurt Russel - eher unbekannte Besetzung der Hauptrollen in den Filmen, die aber dennoch allesamt eine solide Leistung ablieferten und trotz der Grindhouse-Hommage nicht zu trashig wirkten. Insgesamt gebe ich dem Doublefeature 9/10 Punkten, da mich Death Proof zum Ende hin nicht mehr so ganz ueberzeugen konnte.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Fazit</strong><br />
Wer Trash und/oder die Tarantino+Rodriguez Combo mag, wird hier sicher seinen gefallen dran Finden. Da das Doublefeature aber eine Lauflaenge von satten 191 Minuten hat, ist es sicherlich nicht jedermanns Sache und man sollte sich eventuell lieber beide Filme einzeln Anschauen.</p>

<p><em>La guerrière Red Sonja fit sa première apparition dans la BD <strong>Conan le Barbare </strong>en 1973, avant de connaître les honneurs d'une série à son nom. Red Sonja est originaire des steppes d'Hyrkania. A ses 17 ans, un groupe de mercenaires extermina toute sa famille. La jeune femme survécut mais fut violée par le chef du groupe. Entendant son cri de vengeance, Scathach la déesse rouge lui apparut et lui offrit des aptitudes surnaturelles pour le combat, à la seule condition qu'elle ne couche jamais avec un homme, à moins qu'il ne l'ait vaincu en combat loyal...</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Robert E Howard's <a href="http://www.redsonja.net/htmlfiles/">Red Sonja</a> is set for a refresh with Robert Rodriguez as producer (I was kind of hoping that he will be directing) and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0007439/">Douglas Aarniokoski</a> as Director. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000535/">Rose McGowan</a> will star as the  red haired heroine. No firm release date as yet but slated sometime in 2009. From the looks of it I?d wager either for Christmas or even a 2010 release.</p>
<p>Whether the movie will suck or end up a cult favorite, it is still Rose McGowan in a metal bikini. And that alone is worth the ticket price. No official website link yet.</p>
<p>Speaking of which, keep your peeps out for the upcoming Tekken movie (currently in post production) starring Luke Goss as Steve Fox and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Heihachi Mishima. As with most video game to movie franchises, I am a little skeptical even if the movie promises some "high octane" R-Rated action, I still have my reservations. I don't see a lot of hype going around with this one so far.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A remake of the cult classic "Red Sonja" has been announced at Comic Con 2008, it is currently in pre-production as very little has been announced so far. It is scheduled for a 2009 release and will be produced by <a title="Robert Rodriguez" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Rodriguez">Robert Rodriguez</a>, directed by Douglas Aarniokoski, and actress <a title="Rose McGowan" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_McGowan">Rose McGowan</a> will portray Red Sonja. Djimon Hounsou will play the role of Thulsa Doom. Kulan Gath will also play a vital role in the upcoming  movie.</p>

<p>I am a bit skeptical about this movie, as the whole "hot chick kicking ass" has been done over and over again. Can anyone recall the movie failures that were Catwoman or Elektra? But having said that Robert Rodriguez does often end up making a good movie, so we can only hope he does a good job with the Red Sonja movie. Hopefully it's going to be very gritty, very violent and rated <strong>R</strong>, as I would want it to be as faithful as possible to the comic book series.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">El furor o la modita por las películas de explotación ya pasó hace más de un año, cuando salieron las pelis de Tarantino y Rodríguez (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0462322/">Grindhouse: Death Proof y Planet Terror)</a> bueno para algunos, creo que no para El Sir que no ha visto Planet Terror aún... anyways, en ese tiempo hice un post sobre esto, y para los que estén interesados en saber que onda, aquí les dejo algo interesante jo jo al menos para mi y para los que disfrutan de este tipo de movies.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://nippix.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/grind1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1492" src="http://nippix.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/grind1.jpg" alt="" width="248" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>¿Qué es el Grindhouse? te lo diré, si ya lo sabes ¡bravo!, corre y cuéntale a tus amiguis, de todas formas aquí va.<br />
El Grindhouse es como se le llamaba en Estados Unidos a los cines donde se proyectaban las películas de explotación (Exploitation Films) con permanencia voluntaria, algunas veces había show <em>-tú sabes-</em> y aquello se tornaba emocionante.</p>
<p><a href="http://nippix.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/grind2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1493" src="http://nippix.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/grind2.jpg" alt="" width="297" height="384" /></a></p>
<p>Y ¿qué son los filmes e explotación? Según Wikipedia:<br />
<em>"Las películas de explotación se refieren a un género de cintas donde típicamente se sacrifica la noción tradicional del mérito artístico por un despliegue más sensacionalista, muy comúnmente contienen sexo, violencia y gore excesivo. Estos filmes han existido desde siempre, pero se popularizaron durante la década de los setenta atacando todos los tabúes cinematográficos de Estados Unidos y Europa."</em></p>
<p>En pocas palabras se abusa del sexo, gore, zombis, caníbales, marcianos, de las artes marciales, mostrando encuerados, sangre, tripas (etc.) hasta el tope.<br />
Y todos hemos visto queriendo o no alguna película de este tipo, (Kill Bill, Zombi, Shaft, Showgirls, Porky's, Bad Lieutenant, American Pie, Suspiria, Hostel, The Devil Rejects... solo es un ejemplo).</p>
<p>Las cintas de explotación también tienen subgéneros:</p>
<p><strong>-Blaxploitation: </strong> Con actores negros y donde se explota al máximo todos los estereotipos de los afroamericanos (Shaft).<br />
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v210/loreta04/a1shaft.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>-Sexploitation: </strong>Su nombre lo dice...<br />
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v210/loreta04/a5ispit.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br />
<strong>-Nunsploitation: </strong>de monjas (pueden ser violadas, asesinadas  o del diablo)<br />
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v210/loreta04/a3monja.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br />
<strong>-Dyxploitation:</strong> de lesbianas<br />
<strong>-Hixploitation:</strong> de rednecks<br />
<strong>-Las de caníbales</strong>, que fueron hechas algo así como de 1970 a 1980 sobre todo por realizadores italianos, éstas películas se enfocaban a la tortura y canibalismo -of course- de tribus que habitaban en América del Sur o en Asia.... el filme mas famoso de éste subgénero es Holocausto Caníbal.<br />
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v210/loreta04/a6canibal.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br />
<strong>-Las de zombi-exploitation,</strong> toman el concepto original de cualquier película de zombis y le agregan mucho, pero mucho mas gore y personas encueradas, la mayoría de las películas de zombi-exploitation han sido hechas por italianos, siguiendo el éxito que la película de George A. Romero -Dawn of the dead / Zombi-, tuvo en Europa, donde también casi al mismo tiempo se cocinaba otra del mismo género de Lucio Fulci que fue llamada Zombi 2 para compartir el éxito de Romero. Y desde el punto de vista del cine de explotación una de las películas mas notables fue Holocausto Zombi (Marino Girolami's, 1980) que combina los dos subgéneros -zombis y caníbales-.<br />

<p style="text-align:justify;">Tarantino es un apasionado del tema Grindhouse, en 1993 hizo el guión de la película <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108399/">"True Romance" </a>dirigida por Tony Scott, donde el triste Clarence (Christian Slater) siempre celebra su cumpleaños viendo películas de kung-fu en un cine Grindhouse precisamente.</p>
<p>En México no hubo una buena respuesta hacia las películas de Tarantino y Rodríguez, en primer lugar porque las dividieron, en segundo lugar porque tal vez habemos muy pocos seguidores de este género.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Si les late, pueden bajar las películas, porque no creo que las tengan en renta en México, muchas veces se pueden conseguir en los tianguis pero es algo difícil, y por cierto, si no has visto <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078935/">Holocausto Caníbal</a>, no sabes de lo que te pierdes, te recomiendo también las de la serie de <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0161634/">Guinea Pig</a>, Devil's experiment y Flower of flesh and blood <a href="http://www.watch-movies.net/s/guinea_pig.html">(si las quieres ver en línea cliquea AQUI)</a> son las más famosillas y es algo que debes ver antes de morir, ja ja ja, bueno, si no te gusta la sangre y las cosas asquerosas, mejor no las veas, de hecho estas películas fueron prohíbidas en su tiempo, porque se pensaba que eran del tipo Snuff, que los asesinatos eran reales, solo fueron diseñadas para hacerlas parecer así, de hecho, gracias a un investigación del FBI, los realizadores de las películas tuvieron que hacer un documental de "detrás de cámara" para contrarestar las acusaciones.</p>
<p>Y ya.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Además de los dos espectaculares posters de <strong><em>Red Sonja</em></strong> que vimos la semana pasada, en la Comic Con de San Diego <strong>Rose McGowan y Robert Rodríguez</strong> (juntos y ¿revueltos?) presentaron más material de la película. Desafortunadamente la calidad de estas nuevas imágenes no es la deseada, pero siguen aportando datos sobre el aspecto de la actriz convertida en la peligrosa guerrera pelirroja.</p>
